Lürssen wrote it in the official specification, but at first it seemed a little suspicious that the largest yacht in the world would be travelling at over 30 knots.
BOOTE EXCLUSIV has now documented the top test speed of the 180 metre long "Azzam" using an Internet service: 31.5 knots. The Nauta design reached this speed west of Helgoland. In the engine room, Lürssen installed two diesel engines and two gas turbines with a total output of over 70,000 kW.
After her delivery at the end of this year, "Azzam" will primarily be travelling in waters around the Arabian Peninsula. This is not only due to the comparatively small outer decks, which are favoured by owners from this region; the United Arab Emirates is also said to have its own "garage" for "Azzam".
