have subscribed to us and ring that bell so you'll never miss an upload from us eclipse is a brilliantly designed yacht by the french architect armidas atabeki creating a design characterized by various novel ideas like the arrangement of a spacious open logia balconies for the guest suites a futuristic submarine hangar inside and a helicopter hangar the gorgeous art deco style interiors are by terrance disdale design studio and green line yacht interiors this masterpiece is owned by a russian businessman and owner of the chelsea football club rahman abramovich it is estimated to have cost about 1.5 billion dollars to make and was delivered to the owner in 2010. however through some insane negotiation he managed to buy the yacht for a little over 500 million dollars you get the feeling of being in the presence of something truly special the second you set your eyes on this yacht it's a luxury and explorer yacht rolled into one this 162 meter long vessel is currently the world's second largest and can provide an unbeatable travel experience eclipse features a steel displacement steel hull and a super aluminum structure with teak decks it is equipped with an ultra modern stabilization system that reduces the roll motion effect and gives you a smooth ride over the water the decks are large and spacious and host a wide range of amenities this includes two helipads so you're set to arrive and depart in style an outdoor bar countless jacuzzis and ample space to kick back and relax incidentally the construction of this yacht was conducted in absolute secrecy and it was even given the code name project luxury yacht m147 the works began in 2006 and it took five years of intensive design development and construction for successful completion to give you an overview of this fabulous space the yacht has a total of nine decks with the top level dedicated to the helipads in the garage which can hold a third helicopter level eight features the outdoor bar a large swimming pool and the sun deck level seven has yet another large pool and an open deck perfect for barbecue nights and alfresco dining but as much as we could lounge in the outdoors for the whole trip we definitely have to check out the interiors the yacht has over 6 000 square feet of living space the showstopper is definitely this beautiful 16 meter pool whose base can be raised to transform it into a dance floor this is the largest swimming pool on any private yacht in the world the area can be extended out to the deck so it's more opened up and all around the pool or sitting areas for dining or just catching up with your guests however if you prefer something more traditional there's a proper disco club room on the top deck right by the helipads no better way to party there are 24 guest cabins on the yacht that can sleep 36 guests the latest technology has been incorporated into the state rooms along with luxurious finishings and fabrics these cabins can give a five-star luxury resort a run for their money each room has a jacuzzi a private spa room and specialized security systems and of course the guests are pampered like royalty by the crew at all times at the moment it's still entirely private and not many details of this mega yacht have been revealed to the public yet but here's what we do know the sprawling master suite and bridge are equipped with heavy armor plating and bulletproof glass the cost of which comes up to 10 million dollars the staterooms all have six feet home cinema screens the living area is in tones of beige brown and gold giving a classic and warm feel to the space the indoor bar adjacent to the room is intimate and cozy the central foyer separates the cabins from the master suites and the exhibition room occupies the third deck if you're raring to get some exercise this yacht is fully equipped with water toys that will keep you entertained throughout your luxury vacation these include a three-man leisure submarine that can submerge up to 50 meters or 160 feet in the water six yacht tenders and a variety of skis and diving gear it also has three launch boats if you want to row up to the nearest beach in case you're missing the feel of the land anytime you want to get out onto the water just call one of the 70 crew members on board and get them to prepare it for you but if you're more the lounge about type there's also a private theater on the yacht and a full-service spa plus a salon the safety features on this yacht are unlike anything you typically find on a leisure vessel for one it has a missile detection and defense system this anti-ballistic missile system came to 50 million dollars if somehow the missile still makes it through there are additional features that can ensure the owner remains safe you can escape in a pod which is a high-tech two-person submarine of course you can use this to observe sea life and explore nearby islands too but what are the chances of you being caught in a situation like that it's more likely that you'll have paparazzi trying to sneak a few photos and eclipse has a feature for that too some guests have described this feature like a laser shield and that's a pretty good summation of what it is the eclipse is able to emit beams of infrared light that detect electronic light sensors used by digital cameras and if someone is trying to take pictures of your lavish parties the laser shield focuses a beam of light at the camera and ruins the photograph the technology can detect any digital camera but it's not going to work against an old film camera not that anybody uses those anyway in addition to that it has bulletproof windows and military grade armor plating all around there's no safer place to be on the open sea than inside this fortress the eclipse offers the latest propulsion technology for maximum speed performance it is powered by a diesel electric propulsion system and the generators of the system power the rotating azipod drives this gives the vessel a maximum speed of 25 knots and a cruise speed of 22 knots these fuel tanks are a million liters each and the eclipse can travel up to 6 000 nautical miles before needing to stop for refueling it also has a capacity for 150 000 liters of fresh water the good news is this yacht is available to charter through super yachts monaco a monaco based yacht brokerage company the not so good news for some of you is that it will cost two million dollars a week to hire it out it is unsurprisingly the world's most expensive yacht to charter we doubt that even the wealthiest celebrities would shell out that kind of money for a week in this floating mansion but given how it cost abramovic around 50 million dollars a year to maintain the vessel plus 650 000 to refuel it each time and we haven't even talked about the cost of keeping the staff cleaning the yacht and the catering a ship captain can easily make 200 000 a year operating this vessel docking it a port can cost 350 000 if you plan to stay in the area for a while you might have to shell out some extra money for your crew to spend in your destination city yeah it's no wonder he decided to rent it out once in a while it wouldn't make a serious dent in his fortune as his net worth is estimated at 14.5 billion dollars in fact the eclipse isn't his only major investment the wall street journal once called his collection of extravagant collections the roman empire he owns stakes and airlines oil aluminum and has a number of yachts and airplanes in his fleet including the coveted boeing 767 33 aer the jet includes a banquet hall for 30 people even with all that it's a smart move to let out the yacht when you aren't using it and if you do manage to get this bad boy for a week you might actually get to see paintings and artwork from roman's own collection around the yacht so think you'll rent out the eclipse let us know in the comments if you enjoyed this video make sure you hit the
