Boat Named "A" Megayacht Andrei Melnichenko

[onokaoonokao]

I bet this thing at full speed slices through whales like they're cheese

[tobigforyou]

Whats with people crying about how that money could feed the poor. Don't they realize that he did not just put 1 billion Dollars down and POOF the boat is there. That money went to the salary s of probably 1000 or more Skilled craftsmen people it took to build that yacht. Remember every last screw in this was made by someone that had a job. Even the wax to polish it had to be made by some one. Just remember that every time the rich spends their money it means jobs for the middle class & poor.

[renosranch4]

That is one ugly boat.

[KurumaKid81]

I always think mega yachts are smaller than they appear in pics without people in them. Then I see the dude washing the windows and see how massive the yacht (and the windows) are.

[ThatThing95]

boys dont cry by the cure! so good!

[Z1cky]

Went past it other week, its pretty amazing in the flesh, but yh should be sunk nobody deserves to be that rich.

[colmcooper]

What does this guy do for a living? Is he a plasterer?

[bbocconi]

Fa vermente schifo !

[error1691]

I saw it this morning and trust me, it's gorgeous

[MrOlaolala]

This boat doesn't have 390 feet... 180 max

[elshanna83]

this megayatch designed by Philippe Starck.....hmmm i expected better .meow

btw, nice chosen of music :-).

[Dimitrisperidis]

The music is special and the yahgt of course perfect video!!!



[Stangelycoloured]

Someone put it out of it's misery and sink it.

[Huckelberry1000]

Really I dont need it.  If I had 250 Mill. I would help child`s in Afrika, and give them a chance to safe here life. Yes....and than, I be for a million people the Hero-Father and God. Yes, thats what money should do. Nobody needs such a Ship.

But, I understand Mr. A. 2, becouse, if there would be not a men like him, no great buildings would be on our world. Really do we need that buildings ?

Maybe, he is a good Men, I dont know about him ? May is hes dream......ok.!

[Sooksawaspakdee961]

Why spend all that money into something that looks like absolute crap?????. Ugliest yacht in history. Too much money, absolute no taste russian styel.

[huevparolbla]

белорусский паренек из московии баблосы спёр и уволок!

будет он кутить и пировать, русь до рублика по свету продавать!

как известно нам из физики давно, по верху лишь плавает говно!

[Raph777300er]

i have saw this boat on ibiza

[ThePewb]

It looks like it turns into a submarine.

[lostindiancamp]

All that money and he couldn't build something nicer looking?

[uselessnamee]

@lostindiancamp waddaya talking about?? sickest boat

[Jeroenverburg95]

Ps i saw it in norway

[Jeroenverburg95]

I saw it in real life...so nice boat and sooo big

[wyrrox]

Why would he need such a big yacht?

[mountainbrother]

A new deffinition of ugly . Wait till the world gets to see the 340 foot Denis Washinhgton Yaght being created in Vancouver BC . 5 story elevetor and the crew has been living on it for the past 3 years in Drydock . You can see it on google earth in it's drydock. I have seen a lot of toys over the years but what I can't comprehend is how with this being the Attessa 4 the guy still owns the other three .

Andrei . Looks ok head on Hope that the inside is incredible.

[HVACSmartSystems]

No sabes que regalarme en mi cumpleaños?

Esta es una buena idea.

[GTMonaghan]

Big!!!!

[atlswell]

Fantastic waste of money.  Pretty sweet though.

[pete7996]

i coulnt afford to put gas in the little boat they are taking out of it. it is disturbing how much money one person can have.

[mirracoman96]

I saw it when i was in Antibes, France, on my vacation. It's a beautiful piece!

[MuskokaGlobalView]

I just played Keri Hilson Do the Pretty Girl rock under this without video audio....I think I see Keri on the second deck.......

[calamagrostis88]

The guys who trashed our economy are facing such terrible hardship. Of course we will first need to cut education, health care, pensions, libraries, parks, etc. But the rich will suffer because they will not get the second yacht or the fifth mansion and they might have to sell off their private island.

[Volvoamazon62]

@calamagrostis88

Boy's don't cry.... ;-)

[summitcliff]

I love this yacht! everything from the yacht itself to the tenders looks really cool and futuristic.

[Bhoeble]

It's very ugly, and it can't have much interior space in relation to its length.

[us1neb]

it has a bowling alley in the inside lol

[y512516]

I have no idea u called it a Yacht

cos its the size of a friggin frigate

[Simply0Dad]

For all yacht and cruise ship interested:

CrewForum.de

[crunkidy2]

that looks like st.maarten

[torontosmoker]

I'd like to see some Somalians try to jack this yacht.

[666Hansen]

Nice Philippe...a floating Dubaian shoppingmall. What did Andrei pay for that ?

[koantikoko]

the song is Boys don't cry by The Cure, obviously not the original. Sounds nice btw!

[icewaves45]

whats the name of the song and who sings it?

[onojmai]

agree- it's just another billionaire's penis extension. it's beyond luxury, just totally unnecessary and pointless. why would a Russian oligarch, with legally dubious business holdings, want to spend the money in any other way? why would you want to start a foundation to do good, when you can waste money on insane excess?

[kidthing1119]

if thats ugly, then naked models are hitious.

[actisoufre]

magnifiquement laid... où sont les canons ?

Parfois, cela fait plaisir d'être pauvre ! au moins, on est obligé d'avoir bon goût !

je plaisante, bien sûr... s'il veut changer de yacht, j'ai un modèle dans mes cartons à dessins parce qu'en plus d'être pauvre, je dessine aussi des bateaux qui n'ont aucun succès. Philippe

[socratesRAM]

Beautiful! the most impressive looking yacht I've ever seen!

[wmaxson]

Nice. Hopefully it's well armed. If it was mine it would be. Can't have those samli pirates ruining my evening of relaxing with nude models in my hot tub.

[grumpybowman]

if you're going to have a massively expencive and mostly pointless boat, it may as well be easily identifiably YOUR massively expencive and mostly pointless boat

[monojuanfco]

the form like neptuno!

[GarrettC04]

Have a house in Cabo been looking at this thing for days now... It looks like a future version of the "Nautilus" where the hell is Captain Nemo??? LOL So sick...

[jzpa780718]

@GarrettC04 Nice to see the "thing" in San Lucas' bay huh?

[TheScientificBackpac]

@GarrettC04 I live in Cabo, did you ssee the article about it in the Gringo Gazzet?? They said it has its own frikken escape pod! haha

[GEREEF]

she looks like a submarine to me

[allyoop013]

a week ago it was in malibu right outside my house!!! amazing! and huge

[sammy500c]

OMG, it just arrived in Cabo.... I am looking at it across the harbor now... Beautiful!

[Rockywaves73]

@sammy500c Say hello to Sammy Hagar if he's around..lol.

[sammy500c]

Beautiful, it's sitting in Cabo now....

[b40l]

praticamente un ferro da stiro gigante

sarà anche un capolavoro dell'ingegneria e del design ma la trovo bruttissima

[clebercoxaroots]

You know what they think the owners of yachts around? "No matter how rich we are, there will always be someone to humiliate" heahheahea ....

[Shirokinukatsukami]

New money is so trashy and ostentatious (ie 'A'). Old money is hardly any better.

[LoveTheCity123]

My father owns a $12,000,000 mega yacht. It has 4 bedrooms, 2 swimming pools, and a helicopter pad. It is a very luxurious yacht and I visit him on it monthly. Very fun.

[jawsed]

It looks kinda like a german u boat from the 40's

[torontosmoker]

@jawsed it looks like a movie prop that would be used for the Fourth Reich flagship if Hitler's grandson were to take power. Although it's owned by a ruskie so maybe Stalin's grandaughter?

[frankinbolton]

Now I know why there are so many russian brides online...only 10 men in russia have all the money. They botched communism...now they will destroy capitalism. This guy was co-founder of a bank at 21...think about that...how does that happen? Al-Qaeda wants to terrorise us working stiffs...but this is not a worthy target? LOL...what a world we live in. The cost and upkeep of this "dingy" could feed every poor soul in russia.

[LCT29]

@frankinbolton

communism is a system that will always fail, no one could get it right-only a pREgressive would believe it's workable-did I nail you?

[sonic26]

who are we to judge what makes this man happy it doesnt have to look beutiful to have a pearl inside

[MsFootballfan10]

I saw this in Malibu yesterday and it is truly breathtaking. awesome design!! :) what is this music though? Boys Don't Cry?

[thinworthy]

@MsFootballfan10

It washere all last wekk, i'm a Pepperdine Univ.

It is really awseome and breathtaing up close

[zymoticone]

Looks like that submarine from the movie The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen

[comaradella]

for that kinda cash , they could have made something a bit more pleasant to the eye

soviet submarine rationalist

[wickirsinn]

What a ugly To(y)lett

[rosasbellas]

OMG... The Russian owned "A" yacht arrived Aug. 6, 2010 is harbored near Cesar Chavez Park in San Diego,CA. It can be publicly viewed from the CC pier or closest from the NW side of the park.



Take Cesar Chavez Pkwy (Southbound from the 5 frwy Exit 14B) turn left @ 4 way stop, right turn onto Cesar Chavez Pkwy West continue straight to the park's parking lot entrance. It's a magnificent view from the pier w the Coronado Bay Bridge to the left and the "A" on the right. It may be here until 8/12.

[hsaggu]

I live in Bonaire, and this boat just docked near downtown for a week, and it's longer than it seems, but very nice. and then I saw it by chance a week later at the island of Curacao.

[rx7dude2006]

The engineering is amazing, it cuts fuel costs, cuts through the waves, has a smaller wake and is faster than conventional yachts of the same size.brilliant.

[MyFamilyTribe]

It looks like a yacht had sex with a submarine and this ugly thing resulted as a result.

[bryngOneOn]

where's a somalian pirate when u need one, huff!!!

[Candice7]

umm i think i saw this Yacht today .......on the island

[MAMAGANZA]

Now in venezuela..! Los roques..!!

[pitor90]

@MAMAGANZA Horita esta en Curacao, Antillas Holandesas

[RiGGyForReal]

The "A" was in St. George's, Grenada, W.I up to June/6/2010

[FZ6A320]

that's one ugly boat

[helstontvx]

floating municipal building

[levyluna]

what is the name of the song =) thank

[philvpham]

@levyluna This is a classical cover of "Boy's Don't Cry by The Cure."

[dcwalk1]

Wonderful, it was in my country (Guadeloupe) those days, such a beauty.

Magnifique.

[mn3nesh]

ouh my gad!!

[ifryguy]

Boat was off the coast of Portsmouth, Dominica on March 17th, 2010

[warrenashby]

It's in Bridgetown, Barbados Port right now ( March 21st 2010 )

[frommmmars]

Ugly from the outside, amazing from the inside. That's what you get when you get world's most legendary (as in "best ever") interior designer (aka Philippe Starck) design a yacht.......

[Tidalski]

Money doesn't get any uglier. What a waste. YUK!

[marcdups]

Is it just an offshore dock ??

[blackphonetic1]

Prediction

A British agent in her majesties secret service will come aboard by stealth to rescue the woman he loves and to destroy the man who threatens the world.

After almost getting away, the agent is captured and is about to be dispatched in some creative if not practical way.

All the while being informed of the devious plan, the agent effects escape and subsequently destroys the boat along with the villain.

Funny thing..

The tuxedo always stays clean.

[Maxobillion]

She looks mighty top heavy.

[pescaatun1]

esta muy feo

[pippuz76]

he is orribile, deformed

[marcobrott]

i saw this boat the third week of july 09 in sardinia...it looks larger than in video

[Ysbjorn]

one ugly beast!!eclips is much more beautiful than this

[bamsawa]

err y dose it look like a submarean?

[yamahonkawazuki]

Yeah that is what i was thinking as well lol. id still love an interior tour of it though. im QUITE sure it is immaculate

[bamsawa]

@yamahonkawazuki heh no dout.

[salmanzoni]

Ese es un chavista boliburges

[Marks121]

i saw this in august 09 over at kotor, it looked like a floating building

[DesertDiegel]

thats 1 big ass boat

[ricardalvesgmailcom]

Is here, in Madeira Island.

[bille77]

boat lies in my home town of Kiel .. looks fantastic.... and completely douchebag

[Gazua59]

I saw this boat is nice ...

[Stretchmancando]

That hull looks like it could slice thru any wave with ease! That design is beautiful.

[vexviper]

Looks like a submarine.

[agradinger]

Boy's don't cry... by the cure

[violin305]

Sounds like it could be the turtle island string quartet

[fcbainbridge]

I live the music, what is it?

[Sully5400]

Looks like an inverted cock and balls, what with the two stacks and all.

The phallus will never lose appeal as a design template.

That being said, I really like this ship. I didn't at first, but it is growing on me. At least it is bold and new, not standard in any way. It really looks intrepid.

[nonfatcat]

I think it's butt-ugly myself, but I haven't seen any hull designs yet or anything else about this yacht...

I'd like to see the interior spaces and engine room...

Have a good one.

Peace

[coconutskunk]

LOOKS LIKE A CLOTHING IRON / SHOE (Jordans)

[torTIja]

ugly...it reminds me of my water boiler

[kingofcurrrywurst]

awful music.

[arthusthefirst]

Amazing !!!!! But absolutely awfull !!!

[nandodisc]

I saw it in Naples last summer. Straordinary

[georgegto]

Saw this in Corfu this summer, it was amazing it looked like fake! The guy is a russian billionaire in his late 30s he probably was a mafia before he started normal business.

[nandodisc]

probably or definitely?

[georgegto]

Ok definitely he was a mafia :p BTW the price of this boat was 325 millions dollars!! No one has ever seen pictures from the interior...

[nandodisc]

Ok, but mine is more beautiful

See: WHY - Wally Hermès Yacht

[kwalliander]

Looks a bit like the Kursk

[MyMMC]

ugliest yacht ever

[edicius666]

I prefer the wally power 118... but this is still nice and bigger :D

[carlitos1259]

this yacht attacks somaly pirates and plays with them like in a video game!

[Theokondak]

LOL its a yacht not a transformer

[TheRuuka02]

It is beautiful, but either nothing special..

[indigoblue555]

I saw it in Nice last summer...

so ugly indeed.

[fatboy69s]

it is sodding ugly. horrible.

[clayderman18]

I used to hang out with Sandra. She lived just across the street, in Belgrade, 6-7 years ago.

[kiter147]

how is it in rough seas?

[kflynt2006]

Impressive but still kinda ugly.

[Xigano1]

@kflynt2006

"There is no excellent beauty that hath not some strangeness in it's proportion." - JOHN MILTON

:)

[killdac]

200 million plus another million a year to pay the crew...

[GFisher111]

That's no Yacht! Wheres the sails?

I bet the owners got a small dick.

[killdac]

sails ftw lol

[dryaermitore]

Girl ask man:

Do you have an speed boat?

Man answers girl:

 Yes ofcorse, just let me get it out of my yatch first!

some one have more limited problems than others ;)

[matacockcroft]

it's NOT designed by Philippe Starck - just the interiors - the design is Martin Francis!!!

[nicometal88]

martin francis is the naval architect who collaborated with blohm voss naval engineers,the idea of reversed hull and the general design is Starck

[matacockcroft]

You are WRONG Nicometal88 none of the exterior or marine design is Starcks - wrong! Sorry but he only did the interiors and I would know but will not go further in this public forum!

[jeremynorbury]

Currently outside Palau in Sardinia...

[Katinas20]

Dude I Saw it here In Norway in Haugesund ;)

[frantix22]

waste of money

[kickassdude1023]

i did one of the interior drawings also the furniture drawings on that yacht here in dubai, sf 99-my sigma...

[redeeze1980]

its a little bit exceeding...

[tibchy144]

this guy married a serbian singer sandra from the models group.. had met the girl once and she was always into money but would never imagine that she would catch such a massive fish..

[andreasmyhre]

does anybody know what music this is?

[goodfellasYUL]

i think it is "the cure"

[FelixDLJ]

"Boys Don't Cry", by The Cure..;)

[coldstar07]

I agree with the ugly comment, the back simply ruins it. if the back of the ship wasnt so....plain it would look much better, but at present it just lookts like an oil tanker with a sweet looking front section.

[yurboy007]

it looks not so good at the pictures and videos, but the real thing is just unbelievable!

[Dremse]

designed with russian vodka

[Jucetr]

Looks like they turned the Hull upside down and built everything on the bottom of the yacht.

What an ugly bastard.

[WwIGORwW]

Yea, lets see yours...

[Jucetr]

If I did own one it sure as hell wouldn't be as ugly as that

[Cohonees]

probably the UGLIEST yacht I've EVER seen......typical rich russian with no taste what so ever!

[tibchy144]

one of the most beautiful yachts.. reminds of a submarine..

[Cohonees]

It's so ugly there's no limit to It! But maybe a submarine that look like a yacht would be a interesting design....daaah!

[dsm1972p]

awesome boat =)

[sirugo]

People who build this crap should be locked up for life, removing pollution molecules in water one by one, by hand.

[Nelerion]

Word!

[SSCexpert]

This is #10 on the list of Top 10 largest Yachts!

[coquitlam30]

Looks allot like that New german destroyer class. The only designing stark had to do with it was probably the interior decorating. German U boat hull shape?

[frol41]

He designed the hole thing.

[jolalose]

disign by P.STARK

[sixmagpies]

Ugly as sin. And no side decks for the poor crew...very considerate. Typical nouveau riche.

[global001]

I love the boys dont cry track you put to it! Perfect.

[ostuferwolf]

@hugoogrotius: jes, you´re right. But the cure - boys don´t cry is the orignial.

[jmc0001]

I want one!

[ostuferwolf]

Hey what is this for an soundtrack?

[hugoogrotius]

sounds like the cure - boys don't cry

[nlperpave]

I guess the missile silos could be just about anywhere. Might be fun running the yacht off the coast of Somalia and daring the other guys to play a little "Chicken".

Magnificent piece of work. And - it floats!

[surfertje721]

NICE SHIP
