He With the Biggest Yacht Wins??
A superyacht (that's one step up from a megayacht) broker in Florida has secured a build contract for a yacht that will be the largest in the world.
The broker, 4YachtInc, announced "Project Triple Deuce", a 222 meter yacht. Yes, you did the math right... that's 728.4 feet long! Imagine a beam of 82 feet and a draft of 15 feet, powered by three gas turbine engines making over 100,000 horsepower and a top speed of over 30 knots (35 mph). The design calls for no rudders, as swiveling electric pod drives will assist the maneuvering.
The crew of 90 - 100 will cater to 36 guests in luxury that can only be imagined, with four 950 square foot VIP suites, twelve 645 square foot guest suites, two pools (one in, one out), a spa with full time masseuse, hair stylist and barber and multiple hot tubs. Then there are the watertoys...
The owners suite will spread some 2,960 square feet over one and a half decks of the yacht's seven decks. It reportedly will feature two staterooms, private access to the helipad, an elevator, private gym, office with study, private dining area, a butlers stateroom and a drive in dock.
And it's cost? Remember the quotation attributed to JP Morgan, "if you have to ask, you can't afford it". Well, it's reported to be over ONE BILLION DOLLARS!!
