Top 10 Most Expensive Yachts in The World

Yachts are recreational boats or ships which were originally from the Netherlands. It was used by the Dutch army because they were light and faster than any other sailing vessel available at that time. It provided enormous help in pursuing pirates and other mercenaries across shallow waters. Yacht length ranges from to 10 metres to over 50 metres.

However, the yachts we are going to talk about in this list aren’t army or navy or any kind of official vessel at all. The boats we are gonna talk about are almost floating mansions or at the very least villas which cost almost as much as the formers do. Today’s expensive yachts consist of swimming pool, helipads and VIP suites. What’s more, these yatchs are often made to be owned privately. And once you own these babies, the world is your oyster and nobody could ever stop you from chasing the horizon, in a Jack Sparrow fashion, except only more luxuriously.
