10 Fascinating Facts About the Superyacht "AZZAM" 1. Originally Not Intended to Be the Largest Yacht. Azzam wasn't initially designed to be the world's biggest yacht. The goal was to create a high-speed vessel that could accommodate a specific interior layout and guest capacity. The original concept was for a 145-meter yacht, but as the design evolved to incorporate complex engine systems, space for fuel, and tenders, along with a sleek, elongated exterior, the yacht extended to 180 meters, ultimately breaking records. 2. Over 4,000 Workers Were Involved in Her Construction. Built at the renowned Lürssen shipyard in Germany, Azzam took four years and the efforts of over 4,000 workers to complete. With a total cost exceeding $500 million, construction involved an astounding six million man-hours. To put that into perspective, if one person had been tasked with the build, they would have had to start in 1737 BC to finish on time. 3. Azzam Is Among the Fastest Superyachts on the Planet. Azzam was built to travel swiftly between her owner's private island off the coast of Abu Dhabi and the mainland. Her top speed of 33 knots allows her to make the journey in just a few hours. 4. Comparable to a Navy Frigate in Speed and Technology Powered by two gas turbines and two MTU diesel engines driving four waterjets (two axial flow Modular jets and two boosters), Azzam produces an impressive 97,000 horsepower. This naval-grade propulsion system propels her to Navy frigate-like speeds, while consuming 13 tonnes of fuel per hour at maximum speed. 5. She Has Both 'Sprint' and 'Long-Range' Modes. In addition to her sprint capabilities, Azzam is equipped with two conventional diesel engines for long-distance cruising. These 9,000kW MTU engines enable her to cruise at 18 knots, allowing her to cross the Atlantic without the need for refueling. 6. Golf Enthusiasts Can Perfect Their Swing on Board. Guests aboard Azzam can stay active by utilizing the onboard gym, swimming pool, or practicing golf in a designated golf training room. 7. Accommodation for Over 100 People. Azzam is designed to accommodate up to 36 guests in lavish comfort, supported by a crew of 70 to 80 staff members who ensure every need is met. 8. A Stunning Open-Plan Main Saloon. One of Azzam's standout features is her expansive main saloon, which measures an impressive 29 meters in length and 18 meters in width. The space is pillar-free, offering unobstructed views, and is lined with full-height windows for a panoramic view of the surroundings. Creating such a vast, open area required innovative engineering, including ceiling beams that are one meter thick. The saloon's windows are made of 7 cm thick, stormproof glass specially crafted in Italy to withstand harsh weather. 9. An Abundance of Mother of Pearl in the Interior. Azzam's interior features a luxurious abundance of mother-of-pearl marquetry. In fact, the amount of mother-of-pearl used is equivalent to an entire year's worth of global production. 10. The Chandelier Remains Steady Even at Full Speed. One of the design challenges was ensuring minimal vibration and noise, even when Azzam is moving at full throttle. Engineers and designers worked meticulously to guarantee that the chandelier in the main saloon wouldn't rattle during high-speed travel. Sophisticated software and extensive testing ensured that this impressive feat was achieved.
