The Eclipse Yacht


The Eclipse is a luxury yacht currently under construction by Blohm + Voss in Hamburg, Germany. Thyssenkrupp, a large industrial giant in Germany, is very tight-lipped about the project. No definitive statements about size or features have been made. The yacht is expected to be delivered to Roman Abramovich in 2010 and is 170 metres (560 ft) long. This would make Eclipse one of, or even the world's largest private yacht, in existence.

When Eclipse is launched, Abramovich's private fleet will consist of four motoryachts: Eclipse; Pelorus; Sussurro; Ecstasea. Previously owned "Le Grand Bleu," was presented to Abramovich's associate and friend, Eugene Shvidler in June of 2006.

The Eclipse yacht will have at least two helicopter pads, several hot tubs, one pool, three launch boats, and a private submarine. For security, Eclipse will be fitted with motion sensors and a special missile-detection system
