These days was launched the largest and most expensive yacht built ever – Eclipse. The yacht has overall length of 155.20 meters (or 509 feet) and length between perpendiculars of 147.00 meters (equals to 482 feet). The beam of the super-yacht is 21.50 meters and the draft of the yacht is 5.00 meters. This definitely now is the largest and most expensive yacht of the world. The yacht is property of the well-known Russian billionaire – Roman Abramovich. The yacht Eclipse is going just a step in front of the second largest private yachts Dubai and Pelorus. The newly built Eclipse yacht was built from Blohm & Voss Shipyard in Hamburg, Germany. The beautiful yacht can be valued to price of 350 millions USD. The beauty owns two helicopters’ caps, 20 water jets and own submarine. This is only the beginning when we start explaining the wonders of Eclipse yacht, because when some Russian oligarch starts to orders extras for his yacht, sometimes he forgot everything. The submarine is boarding from the bottom of the yacht and this allows for the owner to board the yacht in absolute privacy... date: 2nd January, 2009

This magnate just invited every crackpot with a grudge to try to board this vulgar display of wealth and knock him off.

I wouldn't invite any supporters of Arsenal, Liverpool or Manchester United on board.

I’m sure that sparse, but comfortable, accomodations are available for the ex-Spetsnaz on his payroll.
