Shaddai: All-Powerful Mega Yacht

With this new mega yacht, one can have power and enjoy it too.

Jun 07, 2016 | By Vimi Haridasan

The concept of power varies with each individual. In the case of Gabriele Teruzzi, this translated into his design of the mega yacht concept called Shaddai. The name translates to ā€œOmnipotenceā€, meaning all-powerful. History is full of structures that were conceived with this in mind ā€” from theĀ Pyramids of Egypt to modern skyscrapers.Shaddai-three-levels

Measuring 150 meters, the mega yacht brings you closer to both the sea and sky. The upper deck provides you with a space to relax by the pool. It happens to be an infinity pool, which certainly doesnā€™t hurt. It drops off like a waterfall, to the main deck below it, which houses a second scenic infinity pool ā€” one can never have too many on a mega yacht.

This being a creation packed with luxury, it is no surprise that the infinity pools are not the main highlights. Situated below the main deck, is the Beach Club, which at 300 sqm, not only houses an aquarium in the middle of the room but also calls the infinity pool “ceiling.” This helps to create a spacious feeling while serving as a vantage point for those on board.

While the various amenities may spell luxury, the star of the mega yacht is the Ownerā€™s Cabin suspended 38m above the two decks and Beach Club. We wouldnā€™t blame you if you started quoting the Lion King in the presence of company since the cabin offers you a view of the ocean as far as the eye can see. Bringing the owner privacy is yet another infinity pool that gives a wonderful sensation of being in paradise. Face it: if you are kicking back on this yacht, you probably already are in paradise.

Of course, having luxurious one-of-a-kind amenities is not the only draw of the mega yacht. It will be decked out with materials and textures that are inspired by some of the finest fashion houses in Italy.
