At 162.5 meters, the Eclipse yacht is currently the third largest yacht in the world and the
largest currently in the Caribbean, according to IHS data.
And the yacht of steel billionaire Victor Rashnikov, Ocean Victory is the second largest ship
here with a height of 139 meters.
David Geffen's Rising Sun is in third place with a height of 138 meters.
2. With orders for yachts taller than 100 meters at a peak for 10 years, there is a reason to
celebrate celebrations for the shipbuilders, but there is also a worrying trend. for this super-
giant industry.
"The global mega yacht business looks set to go to a difficult time," Boat International said in
a 2020 forecast.
This organization cites there was a slight decrease in the total number of luxury yachts
ordered. That is reflected in a drop in production of shipyards, down 8% year-on-year.
This may not matter to billionaires like Abramovich, who pays $ 65 million a year for yacht
maintenance, but it could create a headache for smaller yacht manufacturers, 15% off
orders.
