Video of the launch of the 180 metre superyacht Azzam

This morning, Lürssen launched the world's largest yacht, Azzam, believed to be 180 metres long. The yacht is designed by Italian yacht designers Nauta Yachts.

One year ago, the yacht briefly left her building shed, when the yacht was moved into a different part of the yard, where the yacht's bow section was attached. The yacht has since been completed in record time. The yacht will still require a couple more months to be finished.

Check out our Facebook fanpage later today for more photo's, and a video of the launch.
