Azzam

Azzam is one of the defining giga yachts of the modern era. Delivered by Lürssen in 2013, she is widely recognised as one of the longest private motor yachts ever built and remains a benchmark for scale, speed and complexity in large-yacht construction. Her design involved an unusually demanding brief: a very large yacht capable of high speed, operation in warm climates and use in comparatively shallow waters. Lürssen describes Azzam as 180.65 metres in length, with a top speed of more than 30 knots and a build programme completed in less than three years from keel laying to delivery. Azzam is therefore important to Superyacht Guide not only because of her length, but because she represents a rare combination of size, engineering ambition and royal-yacht discretion. Her public profile is limited, but the available evidence supports her status as one of the most significant yachts in the global fleet.
