$1 Billion For Biggest Ever Superyacht

17th March 2015

#Superyacht - Move over, Blush – there's a new contender for the superyacht crown that makes Eddie Jordan's giant look like a tugboat.

Scuttlebutt Sailing News reports on the Triple Deuce, set to be the world's biggest ever superyacht at 222 metres, more than four times larger than the Irish F1 supremo's luxury vessel.

It's also fixing to be the most expensive private yacht ever with an eye-watering $1 billion price tag for the owner, whose identity remains a secret.

But it's the size that matters, as broker Craig Timm explains his client was eager to outdo other superyacht owners such as Roman Abramovich and Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan.
