Azzam
description Azzam Overview
Launched in 2013 by German shipyard Lürssen, 'Azzam' is a titan of the seas and a masterpiece of naval engineering. At 180 meters (590 feet), it held the title of world's longest private yacht for over a decade. Its most staggering feature is its speed: powered by a combination of gas turbines and diesel engines, it can exceed 30 knots, an unprecedented pace for a vessel of its size. Designed by Nauta Yachts, its sleek, minimalist exterior belies a vast and opulent interior rumored to include a 95-foot main salon, a grand staircase, and accommodations for over 36 guests served by a crew of up to 60.
Built for a member of the Abu Dhabi royal family, 'Azzam' represents the ultimate expression of private, global mobility, combining immense scale with race-car-like performance. It is the benchmark against which all modern megayachts are measured.
