Each year, the Cannes Film Festival attracts some of the world's most famous actors, who attend glitzy premieres and A-list parties fueled by plenty of Champagne.
As a year-round destination for yachts, the festival, which takes place at the Palais des Festivals in Cannes, France, from May 14 to 25, also brings in some of the world's most impressive — and expensive — vessels. more
The vessels on the list include those spotted in Monte Carlo, Cap d'Antibes, Marseilles, La Ciotat, and Saint-Tropez.
We've rounded up some of the most impressive billionaire yachts spotted at the Cannes Film Festival so far, ranked in ascending order by estimated cost or value.
Owned by Russian billionaire Roman Abromavich, Eclipse is the most expensive yacht on our list. Eclipse is a monstrous 528 foot stunner and is the second largest private yacht in the world. Built by Blohm + Voss Hamburg Shipyard, this yacht does not hold back on its features. On top of two helicopter pads as well as a mini-submarine, Eclipse is equipped with a missile detection system and bulletproof windows as part of its defence mechanism. Rumour has it that it even has lasers to deter the paparazzi!
Fashioned from an aluminium base, Al Said is another superyacht stunner. Its interiors are designed by Redman Whitely Dixon, with more than enough facilities to accommodate up to 70 people — on top of a crew of 154. Perhaps the most opulent part of this yacht is its concert hall, large enough to host a 50-piece orchestra. here
Members of the glitterati that have been seen lounging on this ship include Leonardo DiCaprio. The Rising Sun boasts 8000 square metres of living space, with 82 rooms spread out across five levels. It even has on-board basketball courts that double as helipads should the need arise. [links]
A vision dressed in bronze and ivory accents, Dilbar is elegance on water. Don’t be fooled by this yacht’s graceful exterior though. Powered by a 30,000kw Diesel electric power plant, she is able to sail at speeds of 22.5 knots. Despite being surrounded by ocean, Dilbar doesn’t skimp on its indoor pool. Her 180 cubic metre pool is stated to be the largest on any yacht. In addition to her magnificent pool, Dilbar is able to carry 20 guests and 47 crew members.
The $A594 million “Sailing Yacht A,” one of the largest private sailing yachts in the world owned by Russian billionaire Andrey Melnichenko, was spotted sailing in the crystalline waters of Formentera again on Tuesday — this time by UFC star Conor McGregor.
His first post was captioned: “The 360 million dollar “sailing yacht A” pulls up out the back garden this morning. “Sailing yacht A” its called. That’s how you know the owner doesn’t need to give a bollox about anything. Sailing yacht A. Most expensive sailing yacht in the world. 360mill. Owned by a Russian billionaire. Google it. Crazy!”
Formentera is a tiny island off Ibiza, and a celebrity and billionaire hotspot. Its white sands and turquoise waters resemble the Caribbean.
McGregor has been living it up in Ibiza with family and friends after losing his fight to Floyd Mayweather in late August. He was enjoying life aboard boats and yachts himself when he spotted Sailing Yacht A, owned by a Russian billionaire named Andrey Melnichenko.
