Is "DILBAR" Really The World's Largest Superyacht?

The yacht Dilbar is a 157 meter (512 ft) motor yacht. She is the world’s largest yacht measured by volume. She has been delivered to her owner in May 2016.

Not much is known about her, but we estimate her cost at least USD 600 million and she will probably accommodate 40 guests and a crew of at least 80. She replaced the previous Dilbar, which is still owned by Alisher Usmanov and now named Ona.

Ona is a 110m (361 ft) steel yacht with aluminum superstructure built by Lürssen and launched in 2008. She accommodates 20 passengers and 47 crew. The design is by Tim Heywood with interior by Alberto Pinto. Ona was the first yacht in the world with particle filters on the main engine exhausts. Installed with twin MTU diesel-electric main engines, Ona can reach a maximum speed of 21 knots. She is built to the rules of Germanischer Lloyd.
