World's biggest yacht


The newly-crowned world's largest yacht took the seas yesterday - a £400million behemoth which is a staggering 590ft long.

The yacht, called 'Azzam', was built by a German firm and has beaten Roman Abramovich's 533ft 'Eclipse' off the top spot.

Azzam was officially unveiled in April, but was seen by 'yachtspotters' being tested on the North Sea at the weekend.

The megayacht is believed to have been ordered by a Middle-Eastern billionaire.


It can travel in excess of 30 knots with power coming from a combination of two gas turbines and two diesel engines with a total of 94,000 horsepower.
