Flights The most expensive private plane in the world (10 suites, infirmary ...), for sale
Awards The best hotel in the world does not have five stars: it costs 40 euros per night
Its figures are staggering: it
measures 180 meters from bow to stern,
20.8 meters wide and 4.3 meters deep.
Or what is the same, the space equivalent to
two football fields
.
This is the megayacht
Azzam
, considered not only the longest private boat of this type in the world, but also the most expensive and luxurious.
Another curiosity: he arrived at the port of Cádiz in August for a few weeks, but finally he will stay in the so-called
Muelle Ciudad
of the Andalusian city
until December, thus
extending his stay in Spain.
Its owner, intimate of King Juan Carlos
Who has decided to
extend the stay
of the boat in the Andalusian city until December is its owner, Sheikh Jalifa bin Zayed Al Nahaya, the president of the
United Arab Emirates
(USA), a close friend of King Juan Carlos, who is these days in Abu Dhabi, one of the emirates that make up the USA along with others such as Dubai or Sharjah.
The sheikh is
one of the richest men on the planet
according to
Forbes
magazine
.
With an estimated net worth of 15.5 billion dollars (about 13 billion euros), the
Azzam
(whose name means in Arabic "determination") cost him
600 million dollars
(about 510 million euros), a
trifle
compared to his total wealth.
For this reason, the boat is among the most expensive in the world.
Interior of the luxurious ship 'Azzam'.
The inclusion in that list is not surprising, since it has its own
helipad
, as well as a cinema, a disco and a
multipurpose room
to hold all kinds of events of more than 500 square meters.
That's not all: it also has one of the
most modern
anti-missile
systems on the planet.
Just in case ... Its construction was carried out in 2013 and lasted no less than three years.
In Ferrari by the port
It is not the first time that
Azzam has
landed in Cádiz.
It already did in 2017 and 2019. What's more, then the sheikh was seen strolling through the port mounted on several high-end cars such as
a Ferrari and a Lamborghini,
both bathed in gold.
This year, however, its presence in the city has not yet been confirmed, although it is not ruled out that it may have passed a few days in the month of August.
The boat measures 180 meters from bow to stern.
The price for
docking in Cádiz is around 1,200 euros every day
.
Even so, the so-called
silver cup
is not the most expensive city in Europe for this purpose.
Ibiza tops the ranking,
with a price that exceeds
3,000 euros a day,
according to a study prepared by the real estate agency specializing in luxury properties Engel & Völkers Yatching, with a department dedicated to boats.
It is followed by three Italian enclaves: the marina of
Capri,
at a rate of 2,670 euros per day;
Porto Cervo
(on the island of Sardinia), where it costs 2,500 euros and
Portofino,
with 2,280 euros.
The fifth most expensive European town when
parking
a boat is
Puerto Banús,
in Marbella, where you have to pay just over 2,000 euros a day, almost double that in
Cádiz,
where the
Azzam is.
The fundamental reason is the size of the ship, which does not fit in any port.
