Eclipse, The Wold's Largest Private Yacht Has Docked in NYC

This $1.5 Billion yacht belongs to Roman Abramovich, the Russian billionaire who also owns Chelsea Football Club.

Superyacht Eclipse is the largest private yacht in the world, at least until the new Kingdom 5 KR is delivered to Prince Al Waleed bin Talal.

The yacht is quite a sight. It features two swimming pools including a 16-metre pool that transforms into a disco when the water is drained out and the floor is raised, two helipads and a hanger below the deck for carrying a third helicopter, a cinema, salon-spa and restaurant.

There's accommodation for 92 crew and staff members with 24 guest cabins - each coming with its own 1.8m private cinema screen.

There's also a 464sqm master suite that's armour-plated and windowed with bullet-proof glass.

And pirates, beware: The boat reportedly boasts a military-grade missile defense system, an underwater escape hatch and a submarine.

Eclipse is said to have an anti paparazzi system, a laser which is used to detect the electronic light sensors that digital cameras use. The camera is then targeted with a beam of bright light that overexposes the photo, which becomes useless. Eclipse has two swimming pools and two helicopter pads, she has a crew of 60. Eclipse was delivered by Blohm and Voss in 2010. She was built in total secrecy.
