Eclipse spotted in Gibraltar
Previously spotted entering Port Everglades in Fort Lauderdale, Eclipse, built by German shipyard Blohm & Voss in 2010, has been recently seen in Gibraltar.
Eclipse held the title of world's largest private yacht until 2013, when the 180 metre Azzam stole the crown. At her launch the 164m yacht's unprecedented size had ensured her construction had been shrouded in secrecy, and as such, subject to much rumour and speculation from both the international press and superyacht enthusiasts. Although not all the details of the luxury megayacht are unveiled, it is known that her interiors feature designs by the renowned London-based team at Terence Disdale Design.
It is believed that Eclipse boasts a military-grade missile defense system, armor plating and bulletproof windows, while hosting three helipads, a private theater and a fitness center. Her highlight is a 16 metre swimming pool that can be converted into a dance floor. Eclipse can reportedly accommodate 36 guests in 18 cabins as well as a crew of 70. As for the performance, the megayacht is powered by 4 MTU 20V 1163 TB93 diesels, reaching a top speed of 25 knots and comfortably cruising at 22 knots.
