For the world's obscenely wealthy, cars and jets are just means of transport. When they really want to indulge their fantasies, they commission a large motor yacht, a Superyacht.

You would have to wear Giorgio Armani on this

Those Wally boats are so damn gorgeous. There probably won't be too long before they launch a Versace edition with medusa heads every where.
Anyhow here you have Al Salamah which a 139m long yatch. The owner is none other then prince Sultan bin Abdul Aziz of Saudi Arabia.





As you can see it is very very big. Price? Probably a few 100 million dollars.

damn man.. these boats are crazy.. i would love to have one..
but not the largest..maybe a wally

You know why these Wally-Yachts have this completely orderly deck layout?
It is because the Wally-founder love to sail shoeless! He doesn't want to hurt himself on leashes or edges...

Great sailboats. I really love the design...

The Wally boats are great aren't they -- one of those would look good with your Zonda F Artist -- I hope you get to live your dream one day Artist ...nobody would appreciate it more than you man.

hehe thnx man.. i get all excited when i just think about it..
i sure wish i can..do it in my lifetime

You could always try to repair the broken Picasso painting and sell it at a discounted price.

LOL..i might try that

Phoenix and Oasis, those are the ones that i like... Nice thread, Rob.

Hmm, how did I know that Rob will start a thread like this sooner or later?

Anyway, Luwalira, Al Salamah was originally codenamed "Mipos" by its shipbuilder. The Saudis wanted it built so quickly that the shipyard, Lurssen I believe, called it Misson Impossible or Mipos.

Some of these yachts have their own submarines! I'm not sure how it would work though. One article I read claimed that the subs themselves cost £10 million to construct and build into the yacht.

A few of the yachts supposedly have anti-missile defence systems. Again, I think it's all James Bond fiction. I think it's unlikely that a private yacht, regardless of how rich its owner is, could have such advanced infrared systems. Where would they get that technology from? What defence contractor would license it to a privately-owned, civilian ship.

I saw one picture of a megayacht where the caption read that a member of the crew was cleaning the covers for some missile intercepting rockets. Who would sell them those interceptor missiles?
