16. Octopus
This yacht — called Octopus — resembles a cargo shipping boat more so than a luxury vessel. It speaks directly to its gigantic frame.

The 414-foot boat has every trait one would look for in a luxury seacraft. However, it’s also used for scientific purposes — particularly when exploring old wrecks under water. Octopus has led to the discovery of multiple wrecks, including the famed Japanese battleship Musashi.

14. Al Salamah
Belonging to Saudi Arabian royalty, Al Salamah was built to absolutely ‘wow’ people.

As one can see from the photo below, one of the main cabins is akin to a palace of the highest order. Possessing the highest quality was clearly a motivating factor when crafting this vessel. Among other amenities, the interior of the boat includes a movie theater, a library, a fully-equipped gym, and its own hospital.

It has many of the usual amenities one would look for in a luxury seacraft (swimming pools, cinema, a full gym, elevator). However, it also comes with a basketball court. One has to wonder if any past/present NBA players rented out Rising Sun for their own personal use.

12. Seven Seas
Seven Seas has been a known commodity for quite some time. It was previously owned by Hollywood’s most famous director, Steven Spielberg. The 12-person yacht is considerably impressive.

One in particular which has people in a tizzy is Lady Moura’s retractable roof.

There are estimations in which this yacht has 20 cabins strictly for guests. There’s an inordinate amount of cabling within the framework of this boat? How much, you ask? Well, when stretched out vertically, the amount of cable (683 miles) is longer than the distance between the most southern part of France to its most northern part.

8. Radiant
This yacht almost resembles that of a birthday cake. Layered tiers are neatly crafted. This offers the boat more depth, and thus gives off more of a grand impression. Radiant was first built in 2009. It had the name of Darius before garnering its newer name. The 20-guest yacht is buoyed by a steel hull, teak decking (there are five of them), and an aluminum superstructure.

6. Serene
How many yachts feature a baby grand piano in the middle of its interior cabin? To put it bluntly, not many. Serene is a brilliantly constructed yacht. It’s large enough to hold upwards of 50 people comfortably. A bird’s-eye view of the ship shows a gigantic outdoor jacuzzi sitting neatly on the top deck. This is perfect for star gazing or sunset viewing. Duly, there’s an indoor saltwater pool to simulate the feel of swimming in the ocean without the looming threat of a shark or any other dangerous creature.

4. Dubai
Dubai is a large boat. By large, we mean 531 feet of aluminum and steel working in unison to form a spectacular yacht. Interestingly enough, this project went through a number of alterations before evolving into this current model. It previously held other names (Panhandle, Golden Star, Platinum) before landing on Dubai. The sparkling staircase (shown below) has the ability to change color depending upon the amount of natural light beaming down from the top deck. There are multiple jacuzzis within the yacht. However, the most striking feature may be a private pool fashioned with mosaic tiling.

3. Motor Yacht A
Motor Yacht A has a truly dynamic appearance. In essence, it looks like a massive submarine primed to drop deep into the depths of the ocean at a moment’s notice. Built in 2008, A was carefully crafted by famed developer Philippe Starck. There are rumors Starck designed the ship in only two hours. Whether that’s true or not, it remains a true triumph in the world of yachts. The main cabin of the ship bears resemblance to a virtual throne room. Without question, this yacht succeeded in breaking the typical mold.

Azzam is the largest yacht in the entire world. Registering at nearly 593 feet, this 2013 model surely gets the blood pumping for even the most passionate of yacht enthusiasts. Owned by the President of UAE (Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan), Azzam inexplicably is equipped with its own missile defense system and submarine. It can keep all guests on board safe whist also offering arguably the most luxurious setting one can imagine.
