It belongs to billionaire Andrey Igorevich Melnichenko and is currently in Danish waters after leaving the German shipyard in Kiel where it was built. It will be handed over to its wealthy owner once it finishes its sea trials and internal fit.

The superyacht imaginatively named ‘Sailing Yacht A’ is to be equipped with bomb-proof glass, helipad, eight storeys with teak floors and an observatory of glass below sea level. In addition, the ship has seven luxury suites, a pool and a nightclub.
