Abramovich’s new yacht will be called the Eclipse, and at around 555 feet, will be longer than the Dubai. Innovative features include a cinema, submarine dock (with a submarine able to dive to a depth of 160 feet), and two helicopter platforms. The cabins will be able to cater for 24 guests.
The most interesting features of the aspiring world’s largest yacht are its security capabilities. The yacht comes equipped with bullet proof windows, a submarine in case a speedy escape is required and a radar system designed to signal when a missile is fired at the yacht.
As the largest privately owned yacht in the world, The Eclipse will require a crew of at least 50 in order to be fully functional. This is a tremendous cost, and may prove a bigger burden than previously imagined because of the huge loss in net worth the Russian billionaire suffered between 2008 and 2009
to date.
Abromavich’s Eclipse will set a new standard in yacht building, which can only be good for the industry. And when the world economy gets back on track it’s almost certain that there will be a few challengers to his thrown. For now, the owner of what will be the largest yacht in the world can claim to be the heir apparent “Master of the Seas”.
