As we all know, the world of luxury knows no boundaries. Often, looking at the most luxurious yachts leaves us in amazement or shaking our heads. First of all, we would like to define what type of yacht we are talking about. A megayacht or superyacht is a particularly large, ocean-going yacht with luxurious features.
Since these ships are exclusive and luxuriously equipped and therefore expensive, they are used by the “super rich” for representation and entertainment purposes. The rule of thumb used to calculate the cost is “at least 1 million US dollars per meter”.
With this in mind, enjoy the TOP 10 most extraordinary yachts in the world.
