- We just found one of the most famous boats docked in Venice, Italy. It is extremely difficult to look at this superyacht so close, enjoy the details of this masterpiece from just a few meters away.

Imagine riding this past some sailors in the 17th century
Kdo Kdo It's incredible how quickly things have developed.
Imagine riding this past some sailors TODAY
They'd be blown out of their mind. In the 17th century, sailors still believed in legends and had never seen anything floating not made of wood. Perhaps ship designers an engineers of the time would be even more impressed. Bear in mind that a lot of that age's best tech was made for seafaring, and so they would probably be the ones who'd have best understood the width of the tech gap between us and them. It wold pretty much be like if a current NASA engineer had a live look at the Enterprise spaceship.
Roberto Corbara It would contain materials that haven’t even been discovered yet. The internal combustion engine, LED lighting, lithium batteries etc. Many of these things have been invented in the last few decades. It would be awesome to see their reactions.
Just consider the rig with the sails furled in the boom and deploy with a push of a button and with masts and booms made of carbon fiber with fiber optics sensors system inside the carbon the measure the loads while sailing. Even for us, today sounds like science fiction.
Le yacht est vraiment incroyable il a la forme de l'ultra moderne et le rétro à la fois! Il fais rappeler un galion espagnol au XVII ème siècle! Philippe Starck est un génie. Merci pour cette vidéo...
Merci pour votre commentaire, le yacht est vraiment spécial.
Thanks for posting, I’ve never seen it docked with mere mortal surroundings for scale. Truly awesome.
Glad you enjoyed it, it was a unique opportunity.
it is like a work of art. I too thought "oh it has no glass then I saw the camaflauge windows. All I can say is that I would hate to see one of those sails fail. Nothing about this ship would be cheap. The hull looks seamless and the color is beautiful.
The color was still changed short after it was released I think, from white to grey. And for that billionair it could be considered cheap, less than 1/20 of his total net worth lol, money isn't divided very fair in this world, but it's an awesome thing to have.
Sailing A is truly beautiful
I agree.
Heuuuu no ! Impressive and indecent, but not beautiful. An iron on the sea.
Sailing Yacht A is a masterpiece.
We totally agree.
Hi, I notice a significant interest in this video I published some time ago. For all of those who would like to know more about Superyacht A, here is some interesting info:
Initially, she was called Project 787 during her construction at Nobiskrug shipyard in Germany. In the shipyard words, "Born from the desire of the owner to push the boundaries of engineering, and challenge the Status Quo of the industry, Sailing Yacht A is undoubtedly one of the most visionary projects Nobiskrug has ever been involved in"
Delivered in the year 2017, with a LOA (length) of 142.81m, a beam (width) of 24.88m, with exterior and interior design from the french designer Philippe Starck
Gerard Dykstra designed the sail plan at Dykstra Naval Architects in the Netherlands. The rig type is a three-masted schooner, and she is mentioned as a sail-assisted motor yacht.
The unique masts were created by Damon Roberts, director of Magma Structures in the UK. He is the mastermind behind the most innovative masts systems in the world.
The hull is made of steel, with a superstructure of Steel/GRP (Glass Reinforced Plastic). Her maximum speed is estimated in 21 knots, with a cruising speed of 16 knots. Her gross tonnage (weight) is 12.558 tons.
The propulsion is a two MTU 20V 4000 M73L hybrid diesel-electric system, which produces 7300kw, a total of 9790hp. Her masts tower 100 meters above sea level, and they are the tallest, freestanding composite structure in the world.
Superyacht A won the World Superyacht Award 2018
About her interiors is all a mystery; she has eight decks. On the six-deck, there is a touch and go helipad. We know she has a large swimming pool in her main deck. We also hear that she has an underwater observation pod. In her mainmast, I also notice a crystal elevator that can go all the way up to the crow's nest of the mast for a unique observation 100m over the ocean. I also hear that she carries a crew of around 54. Ok, that is all I know, and it is great she is still a mystery, so let your imagination fly. With unlimited resources, what would you build?
C Hunter Yes, you are correct. Motor Yacht A was his first experience. Then he invited a group of the best designers to create Sailing Yacht A, the winner of the competition wasn't Starck, but for some reason, he didn't deliver, and the owner decided to go with his second choice again, Starck. Now, I would love to see that first design.
Thank you for the interesting facts!!
Interesting stuff!
@@NAVISmagazine Yes, it's amazing really what you can do when you are rich as some of those billionaires, this man even started from scratch. Tho some Russian (and other) billionaires didn't make their money all that fair n square, like Abramovich too. But spending it on a sailing yacht like this is nice spent, I like the sailing aspect too, carbon masts. I would love to have a look around or even work at the ship.
It's also been seized by Italy...
Thank you for posting this superb video of S/Y A. She is enormous and magnificent. Regards.
Glad you enjoyed it
A piece of art built for the owners to the utmost specs. Not a yacht to be shared with many like most yachts, but focus on the life of the small family of three. Beautiful and most amazing interior if you had the pleasure of seeing it. ;-)
We agree!
Amazing. Not even a ripple in the body work. Very skilled craftsman. Thank you Phillippe Starck and thank You, for making the video!!
Thank you very much!
Crazy the life some people live.
You people complaining are haters sitting at home in your crappy house. This guy is actually doing something traveling the world.
Agree
It's funny how under the numerous videos about this "yacht" (ship more like) either the bulk of the comments either love it or hate it. Like, under one video everyone likes it and another video everyone thinks it's ugly. Just shows how easily people are swayed by others opinions. Psycology aside, this is certainly an imposing vessel. That initial shot of the enormous bow is something to behold. One can't help but think that some people just have too much money. I'm not jealous, much....
Nice comment, I agree.
What a world we live in.
I think 60 minutes did an interview with the owner on this boat. I think it's the largest sail boat in the world with all motorized sails.
No your thinking of a different Yatch.
He is talking about Paul Allen’s Yatch that Paul Developed all the soft wear that controlled the sails
@@grantwes sales is spelled sails in this case. fyi
@GAME LAND X You are correct and that is the boat I was thinking of. It was Tom Perkins who commissioned the building of the Maltese Falcon and who 60 minutes interviewed.
The Maltese Falcon is 88m, Black Pearl is 107m, Sailing Yacht A is 145m, but it is a sail assisted yacht, she doesn't sail like the others.
We just published an article about the DynaRig which was created for the Maltese Falcon, people know it as the Falcon Rig. but them was used by Black Pearl a 107m yacht. If you are interested you can find all the information in our website NAVISyachts.com
Perfect for Jack Sparrow 🏴☠️
I have seen this many times during construction and testing but I never saw it close enough to see the many flush hidden portholes. I always thought it must be like a cave with no views except at the top -now I know better. I am amazed that they just use fenders like I do.
This seems like a monstrous waste of money until you consider how much it would cost to have such a huge luxury home in many locations in ports around the world. If you rent you still have to move a large support staff and adapt to each location. This is actually sensible for a billionaire.
That's ridiculous. Even if you are right that the cost of running this beast is cheaper than multiple luxury homes around the world. It's cruising speed is 16 knots. There is no way it's going to be able to replace multiple homes. Its just some rich guy, showing everybody how rich he is. Not to mention it's the ugliest boat with sails I've ever seen (It's a motorsailer, not a sailboat).
This vessel has to have a huge support staff 24/7 , including an electrical engineer . Good chance the owner isn’t even there . It’s not a secure location .
This is mainly a home and job for the staff working on it . The cost isn’t a factor ; it can be a safe place to stay , sometimes
Thanks for sharing.... It is one of the most horrendous looking yachts.
thats my yacht dude, i worked hard at mcdonalds for this one .
No wonder my Fillet O Fish cost more!
That is some boat! I couldn’t imagine having such a thing!
I thing this is beautiful design and absolutely out of the box yacht design, the line so brave and sharp, love it !
Glad you like it!
tender with a pop-up roof? awesome! James Bond style.
"I believe I'll dock your country's GDP right here. Ciao"
@Justget Onwithit However Monaco most definitely.
😅
Accurate 😂
I had seasickness with your movie, but a nice one, this
Sorry, I was just walking through. But sometimes it is nice to see a not edited video, as it shows the real thing.
@@NAVISmagazine no its not !
motion sickness ! did you hear that !?
No video of the interiors yet. Look for my other comments here, I post a lot of information and some interior secrets.
I couldn’t afford a seat cushion from the tender.
would you rather be able to afford the art, or create the artwork? Because seldom do true artists acquire currency as compensation. You may be set course for greater rewards than satisfaction.
gittyupalice96 CV comments here on TH-cam are not supposed to be like yours.
They are supposed to be mean and inflict mental harm on the intended target.
I really do appreciate you and your comment. I am an artist at heart and your words hit me right where it counts. I could never hope to own a billion dollar yacht like this, and if I did, it wouldn’t make me as happy as the simple things in life that surround me now. I hope you have a wonderful day tomorrow.
Thanks for this video. I had seen a picture of A in venise but wanted to see more of this. Thx
Thanks for the comment, sadly the video is not tidy, but we found the yacht by surprise, and it was shot on a handheld iPhone X
@@NAVISmagazine it's fine don't worry 😊👍
This is insane!! Thanks for sharing!
Glad you liked it!
Crazy. What way to come to Venice. I had to take the train. Bet you that have submarine onboard. All the closed ports.
truly incredible as a design and as a piece of art. As a yacht absolutely annoying.
lol
Floating Art 🖼
I agree
That’s not a yacht... that’s a frickin’ ocean liner
When the rage of the sea rises up heavy this boat become smaller than a cork
That looks so unreal :D
Very nice!
Thanks a lot!
Love that someone has the guts to do something different.
It is all the responsibility of a Russian owner and Philippe Starck the designer.
That Yacht is currently anchored off the coast of Antibes, France (Sept 11th 2020). It can be seen on the approach into Nice airport. It’s impressive from several thousand feet up!
its now anchored outside the isle of man, and you can see it from the mountains here.
It's a weird ass looking boat with its' Spanish Galleon meets Star Cruiser design, BUT the interior (what incredibly few shots of it there are) is unbelievable.
It has a pool
2 pools an a underwater lounge
@@Don4D It looks like an Arabian fantasy palace from what I can see. It's really cool that they manage to keep images secret in this day and age. You'd think Instagram would be full of them. But no.
Great video,keep it up!
Thanks, will do!
Lo vidi entrare. In bocca di porto mentre pescavo 😄una roba spaziale !!!!!
Fun fact : there seems to be a room in the top of the center mast
I am not sure about the room, but she certainly has a glass elevator in the front of the center mast that goes all the way up to the crow's nest.
Good for whom ever owns it. They should use it in good health.
Kranker Kapitalismus Protz..woanders verhungern die Menschen
Just think if this is someone’s boat imagine what their house looks like
The owner also has another boat called Motor Yacht A
@@PabloFerreroUSA is he one of the richest on forbes or something damn..
@@AzrieltheAngel catalogue of bandits.
@@AzrieltheAngel Not one of the richest no, his net worth is still like 30x what this ship has cost lol, and this man even started out with nothing, made his whole fortune.
@@burnsson this guy is make fortune in banking and then in in fertilizer and coal
donate over 500 milion in charity
he is good
perfect bond villain yacht
Wow perfect
Looks unreal !
Superb hull finish, paint or gel coat? Reminds me of seeing the Royal Yacht Britannia in the Thames many years ago
I don't know which finish they used. What I know is she was built by Nobiskrug a few years ago.
😳Futuristic or what!
Out of this world design
Never thought such a construction for a boat exists... looks like an alien boat...
It certainly exists, to make something like this requires a not frequent combination of an owner with limitless resources and the willingness to create something different, and a creative mind willing to fly limitless. The boat has a little secret, right between the propellers, in the hull A has an underwater glass bar where you can have a drink seating in a comfortable environment while you look at the propellers working.
@@NAVISmagazine Whaaaaat????? You should ask the owner for short demonstration... i would love so much to see that... If financial issue isnt a problem i dont see why imagination should...i agree. So this one looks like a metal sculpture... and looks it likes privacy cause the interior does not communicate with anything outside of it... amazing!! Its a piece of art for sure.
@@NAVISmagazine do you know any more secret features about it?
Whaaat? Stairs? No escalators? Ridicolous.....pfff
worth 450 million dollars bought by a billionaire thats worth 14 billion dollars. this is like having a net worth of 1.5 million dollars and driving a 50k car around. dont worry guys someone who buys this probably makes 3X or 4X the amount per year. they wont have a problem paying for the expenses.
this guy make about 350-400 milion annual
wonderful yacht.
I like the tender a lot more than the yacht.
Lovely❤😍
I would like to see drone footage of it under sail.
Im sure the room's in this Boat are gimbaled ;-)
Incredibile, very beautiful
Why does it have a union Jack flag when the owner is russian!?
If I am not wrong it's Gibraltar's Flag, where the vessel is registered. Vessels have to have their country of registration flag flying on the stern and a courtesy country flag from the country they are visiting in one of their stays. At the beginning of the video, you can see the courtesy Italian flag in the first mast stay right under the radar. The nationality of the owner doesn't have to be displayed.
Jules Verne.. does it dive? whats inside... tennis courts?bowling ally?
A better paintjob than multi billion dollar navy ships!
“Woah. Must be Burt Reynolds or something.”
Hahahaha
A russian billioner
This is the yacht. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_(sailing_yacht)
Love the futuristic look to it.
Yes, she is really something different. You cannot see it from the angle where I took the video, but the central mast has a front glass elevator that goes all the way up to the crows nest. There must be an incredible view from there.
@@NAVISmagazine Yes I love any vessel that breaks the stereotypical design and brings something new to the table.
Did not see an anchor or where the anchor might be hidden! A massive boat like this without an anchor?
1:29 On the right...
@@viadei I see, it's hidden behind the panel?
Looks perfect for a supervillain
The owner must have a huge family to need such a large boat.
Nice concept, looks a bit like a nuclear war survival ark.
Mike Law cause it is!!!
While zombies will fight on land for the remaining water and food, this will ship the oceans for ever
The oceans will not be the place to be when the end comes. SuspiciousObservers.org Oh, and it's NOT because of "climate change."
Thank you Mr. Ferrero, I personally would have named it " Mr. N E M O "
Thank you, you may not know, but she has an underwater crystal observatory in her keel. Just like Dr. Nemo would love to have in the Nautilus.
That the S/Y A (= Sailing Yacht), not Superyacht :D
Thats some James Bond villain shit
Dear lord that sucker is the size of a destroyer! The running costs on that must be enormous! Must have a crew of like 20! talking like 2 million a year in salaries alone, Plus operating costs of like 5 million a year. How much did docking fees cost? Only so many safe ports in the world you can go.
It actually has a crew of 57
Gloomy and depressing. The good part of our age is a renewed interest in innovation, education and technology but aesthetically we are a disaster: clothing, cars, movies, architecture, interior design, yachts; all are just depressing and bleak. This boat is about the grimmest of any pleasure boat I have seen. Oh for Mr Morgan's yacht.
Imagine saying that I own this yacht
For people in the comments saying it is like a cruise ship:
If you go after the passender code certification it strictly speaking *is* a commerce ship, a crusader
Even out of the width of 25 meters you could create a sailing yacht lol
Why so shaky? What's wrong?
your attitude
Isn't that Sailing Yacht A?
I'm trying to workout how they get the ropes to dockside from those tiny portholes?
The tender helps in the process.
@@PabloFerreroUSA th-cam.com/video/LfdHAuFSmBg/w-d-xo.html 7:25 onward.
First they pay them out with a line from the deck above and haul them up to the deck where they can throw them to shore
Captain Nemo upgraded the Natalus last time he was in Venice
Hahahahaha!
The name is A is long 148 mt the owen is a russian oligarc , it's the world's largest sailing yacht Melnichenko the name of billionair
How much is too much ?
Funny how that little boat is more expensive than most people can afford too. It also has a pretty sick design, and for sure aint affordable🤣
who is the owner of this yacht?
looks like they have lower balconies too...
It’s very Bond villainesque.
Dude! Hold the camera steady!
Sickening.
I saw it where it was built in Kiel
Six digits just to polish this mountain
Beautiful. Owned by a kleptocrat oligarch no doubt.
I was told by someone in the industry that the owner of the super yacht was called upon, and asked if they could use the yacht for a backdrop for the movie MI#? w/ Tom Cruise. Actually Tom Cruise is on a buiggie board 🛹 slicing down the side of the (left side) of the yacht . It's shows him looking up at the yaçht... I wonder if Tom Cruise was inside there in that day???
That is the Sailing Yatch A. Super yatch A is different.
Sorry for the mistake.
It looks like a yaught built here in San Diego, CA. It was for a Saudi Prince??? $300,000,000.00
She was built in Germany.
amazing I’m guessing that actually is a decomishioned Navy Ship they turned into a Mega Yacht pretty cool what a lot of money can do here is another interesting thing if it is converted to private and used for Pleasure the owner doesn’t need any special Certifications or liscense to Captain it , although sometimes insurance companies may have their own requirements since that would be a high replacement cost and could easily do a great amount of damage to docks and other vessels
It's a full custom build
The nautilus
hahahaha, she has an underwater observation pod.
looks like the Owner is afarid of the sea, no walk around is possible its like a Castel on the Water and looks like a Car Transporter withe nicer Color on it ...
Hater lol
I think the owner prefer to stay low key and looking for more privacy
Sailing Yacht A Cost/Value: US$ 600 million
3:35 Is he the owner?
*The man in blue
I don't think so.
I hope they have Affordable Health Insurance
It pays to be good friends with Putin.
Not any more
@@springle91 there networths have doubles since the sanctions here he was worth 14 billion now he is worth 24.. nord owner had 10 now he's got 27billion
Oceanco black pearl??
No, she is A from Nobiskrug.
Superyacht A is motorized not a sailing yacht
You are correct. They called sail assisted yacht.
the mast with the flag is a mistake!?
They are some of the highest masts ever built.
I would love to know how they get their lines ashore through those tiny holes - some of them are really isolated from hatches etc.
They get lowered to the tender boat and then passed to shore.
kayaking northeast I’m guessing they can only dock in good weather then.. (not that they dock very much I know). I guess form over function a bit too...
@@petebw where these hang out docking in bad weather is not normally a worry, I'm sure if it does get bad its anchored away from shore and tenders used.
