POWER & MOTORYACHT, the #1 enthusiast marine category
publication, unveiled its 23rd annual list of the world�s 100
largest megayachts, a.k.a. �The POWER & MOTORYACHT 100.� A
megayacht is defined as a privately owned yacht at least 80 feet
long; there are nearly 4,000 yachts in this booming category today.
Not only has the number of yachts in the category grown, but their
size has increased as well in the 23 years since the list was first
compiled. In 1985, the largest yacht on the POWER & MOTORYACHT
100 measured 123�. Today, the smallest of the 100 measures 206�.
�With millionaires giving way to billionaires, not only does the
demand for new megayachts increase, but also luxury and size,� said
Diane M. Byrne, Executive Editor of POWER & MOTORYACHT. �In
fact, the top two yachts on our list are longer than Giants�
Stadium.� She added, �And while the owners flaunt their wealth with
the size of their yachts, at the same time many keep their contents
and amenities a tightly guarded secret, so rumors abound.� Many
owners wish to remain anonymous, but some of the current top 25
read like a �Who�s Who� of the world�s business elite, especially
Russian oil billionaires, whose names pepper many of the yachts on
the list. The POWER & MOTORYACHT 100 includes: AL SALAMAH �
456�10� � The biggest and most secretive yacht, as virtually
everyone involved won�t talk about what�s inside the megayacht
belonging to the Saudi Arabian Defense Minister, Prince Sultan bin
Abdul Aziz. She�s rumored to have more than 80 rooms, a crew of 96
and an indoor swimming pool. RISING SUN � 452�8� � Jointly owned by
Oracle Corporation head Larry Ellison and movie mogul David Geffen,
she comes equipped with a basketball court and a landing craft
specially designed to carry an SUV ashore. OCTOPUS � 414�0� � Paul
Allen�s vessel has traveled around the world and carries a �toy�
boat that resembles a submarine. It also has not one, but two
helipads. These might be the most economical means to travel, for
at $4.50/gallon, it costs over $1mm to fill up OCTOPUS. Of course,
if you have to ask the price� SAVARONA � 408�0� � Built over 75
years ago at a cost of $4mm, this available-for-charter beauty can
brighten your party with its 282-foot-long grand staircase and
authentic Turkish hamman (Turkish bath). A � 394�0� � Launched only
this January, A, designed by Philippe Starck, is so radical that
the Wall Street Journal�s �Wealth� columnist dubbed it the ugliest
yacht in the world. While most yacht-spotters assumed the owner was
Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich, the owner is in reality
Andrei Melnichenko, a 36-year-old Russian who made his money
through banking and energy companies. TURAMA � 381�11� � Available
for charter at 630,000 euros per week (about $857,000 at press
time), you can entertain adults in the disco, children in the
playroom, and sleep 70 in its guestrooms. TATOOSH � 302�8� � Paul
Allen�s second yacht on the list (see #3 above) entertained Brad
Pitt and Angelina Jolie and family last May prior to the Cannes
Film Festival. ICE � 295�3� � Owned by (another) Russian oilman,
Suleiman Kerimov, this megayacht was the setting for his 40th
birthday party, where he entertained his guests with performances
by both Christina Aguilera and Shakira. LAUREN L � 295�3� � Owned
by Liveras Yachts, it is available for charter for a mere $1.2MM a
week. The former Constellation has been refitted to cater to 48
overnight guests and includes an expanded sundeck, sauna, hair
salon, and other health and beauty amenities. CARINTHIA VII �
321�5� � The largest yacht in the world owned solely by a woman
(Heidi Horten, a German retail giant). Its home is the
International Yacht Club of Antibes. About POWER & MOTORYACHT
