The largest current yacht in the world is the “Azzam” from Lürssen and she measures 592 feet (and 6 inches). This record for the largest yacht in the world is about to be shattered when the “Somnio” hits the water in 2024 measuring 728 feet.
Winch Design has unveiled what essentially equates to an ultra-luxurious condo building on the seas. The ship will cost a total of $ 600 million, but there will be 39 ultra-luxury apartments on board, each costing $ 11.2 million, so it will be a revolving door of the rich hanging out together.
According to a report in the Daily mail, the identity of the owners of the apartment will be closely monitored. So if someone is trying to buy an apartment (or three) on board, they can do it in secret.
The “Somnio” will have six decks, a 10,000-bottle wine cellar, restaurants, bars, “water sports facilities”, a beach club on the boat, and then each of the $ 11.2 million apartments. (9.5 million euros) has a private kitchen and may include amenities like library, gym, outdoor dining, etc.
To call this a “yacht” seems like an exaggeration to me when it is pretty clear that we are talking about a cruise ship that is also a condominium. Technically, of course, this will be the biggest yacht in the world. But there is not a single owner when there are 39 luxury apartments on the ship. Also, a cruise ship is about 1000 feet tall, so this ship is closer to a cruise ship than a yacht.
Once the apartment owners are on the ship, it all takes you to the next level. Concierge services take care of anything and everything that everyone would want. The ship will move in what they call a “slow paced journey” where it will roam from port to port. The service will rival the best luxury hotels in the world and they offer some of the best medical care on the planet.
One problem I can foresee with the world’s largest yacht is that people never want to get off the ship. Why would anyone want to leave when they have the best service and amenities on the planet at sea?
I can’t help but wonder, with so many billionaires in the world, why isn’t the world’s largest yacht worth at least a billion dollars now? It seems the wealth has accelerated to the point that there are now several multi-billion dollar yachts floating around, but apparently not.
Somnio is currently under construction in Norway and should be ready to sail within the next three years. So if you are packing tens of millions and want to buy a luxury apartment on a shared yacht, you know where to go.
