Giga-Yacht "A"







While cruising out to Pigeon Island, we came across "A", a giga-yacht that looks like a cross between a First World War battlecruiser, a submarine, and a spaceship. She is 387 feet long, with three pools, one master suite, six guest suites, and rooms for 42 staff. To give you an idea of the carbon footprint this thing has, the fuel tank is so big that it costs $1.4 million to fill up. It's owned by Russian billionaire Andrey Melnichenko, who got it built for about 150 million euros at the Blohm & Voss shipyard in Germany. She currently is the 7th largest Yacht in the world.
