Whats the worlds most expensive boat?

Answer 1

The top price spot is actually a tie at $68 million between Oracle founder Larry Ellison's 244-foot Katana and the 262-foot Constellation. Ellison picked up this gem from the estate of the late Mexican media tycoon Emilio Azcarraga. Ellison's modifications to the 37-knot, turbine-powered mega-yacht include a Basketball court and a huge plasma screen TV. Is Oracle's shrinking share price the reason this yacht's on the market? Not at all. Ellison is merely making room for a newer, larger yacht, currently under construction in Europe. The next owner of Katana will be able to entertain a dozen guests, with a two-story owner's suite for himself, and be pampered by 19 crew members. The 262-foot Constellation, belonging to Qatar's ruling family, can speed along at 23 knots and carries 350 tons of fuel. In 1999, however, this yacht was involved in a little fender bender with a Mallorca ferryboat, according to Spanish authorities. It was reported that the yacht left Palma, ignoring instructions from the Spanish Coast Guard, leading some to call this the largest "hit and run" on record. http://www.forbes.com/2002/10/23/1023feat.html The most expensive cruise ship in service is the Freedom of the Seas and in construction, the Oasis of the Seas, both of which cost over $1,100,000,000 USD. Both were constructed in Aker shipyards of Finland. Both are Royal Carribean Cruise Vessels.
