Abramovich Plans World's Largest Yacht
Filed under: Yachts & Sailing
Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich is at it again, the Wall Street Journal has a piece on the building of the Eclipse, Abramovich's latest yacht, which when it is finished should be the largest privately owned yacht in the world. As we've mentioned before, Abramovich has one of the most impressive yacht collections in the world including the 377-foot Pelorus. Details are shrouded in secrecy of course but the article reports that Blohm & Voss is building Eclipse somewhere in Germany, which got me thinking. Nearly a year ago, we saw an article on GizMag about the M-147, a megayacht with multiple helicopter pads and an integrated submarine, two features that have been said to also be included on the Eclipse. At that time Abramovich's name was bandied about as well and so I think it is a safe bet that Eclipse will most likely look a lot like the M-147 shown here. The M-147 also has a swimming pool, a cinema and a disco. It would have a capacity for 24 in six guest suites, five VIP suites and an owner's cabin. Last year, a 250 million euro price tag was being bandied about. It certainly seems that Abramovich doesn't share Larry Ellison's frustrations about where to dock a megayacht.
