# World’s Tallest Yacht Concept Has a 12-Story-Tall Giraffe Neck Master Suite

Almost any ultra-luxurious ocean-going yacht is going to be unique in one way or another, but the *Shaddai*manages to be a little more special than most. Because unlike other megayachts, [*Shaddai* has a 12-story-tall master suite hanging over the aft end of the ship](<https://www.maxim.com/rides/gabriele-teruzzi-shaddai-superyacht-elevated-master-suite-2016-05>).

*Shaddai*, penned by Italian yacht designer Gabriele Teruzzi, is a 492-foot-long yacht concept up for someone with very, *very* deep pockets and a lusting desire to gaze out from 124 feet in the air. The yacht is just vaporware for now, but thanks to its elevated living space, *Shaddai* would be a prime contender for the title of World's Tallest Yacht if it ever makes it onto the seas.

Maybe it's just our inner car geek seeping out, but *The Drive* can't help but be reminded of the spoiler on [the old Plymouth Superbird](<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plymouth_Superbird>) when we look at that master suite. Like that massive wing, *Shaddai*'s raised deck is ridiculously tall, beautifully obnoxious, and oh-so glorious.

In addition to the bedroom, this future silver-spooned yacht owner's master suite has an 1,130-square foot patio that looks absolutely prime for barbecues on the sea, along with a massive dining area, ample cushy seating, and its own private pool.

Life on the main deck isn't too bad, either. The lower level is packed with flat-screen TVs, a glass-walled pool, extending oceanside platforms, and its own waterfall. All of which sounds nice (and would be pretty much expected on a supremely expensive yacht)...but also kind of lame next to that sky-scraping platform.

Though there's no definitive word on how much it would cost to bring this ship into existence, [*The New York Post* reported](<https://nypost.com/2016/05/13/the-most-outrageous-yacht-in-the-world-costs-250m/>) that Alberto Mancini, Teruzzi's boss at AM YachtDesign, said that it would likely cost around $250 million to build. Like we said, deep pockets.
