The best photos of Motor Yacht A

Motor yacht a's profile.

Dubbed the world’s most famous superyacht, the 119 metre Motor Yacht A looks like a cross between a floating submarine and futuristic spaceship. Here, Motor Yacht A's iconic profile can be seen silhouetted against a sunset.

Turning heads since it first hit the water in 2008, Motor Yacht A was built by Blohm & Voss . Here, the yacht's striking underwater lights are illuminated as night falls.

Speaking about the design of Motor Yacht A , designer Philippe Starck says his intention was to make the yacht blend with the sea. He was focused on the way the yacht moved through the water, with barely a ripple, “like a whale”, he says.

Like the 142.81 metre sail-assisted motor yacht Sailing Yacht A, Motor Yacht A was designed by legendary designer Philippe Starck (pictured) and was built by Blohm & Voss. Both superyachts are owned by Andrey Melnichenko.

The aft deck

Motor Yacht A’s iconic aft view is seen here.

Forward of the main saloon, Motor Yacht A features a main outdoor lounging area protected by a deck overhang but open to the elements from the bow.

The owner's cabin

Accommodation on board the 119 metre yacht is for a total of 14 people and 35 crew members. Pictured here is the owner's cabin, which is illuminated in plentiful natural light.
