NEW YORK - We have all seen yachts, either in movies, magazines or in person. But a yacht now docked on the Hudson River in New York is really turning heads.
That's because it's a 557-foot long super yacht, called Eclipse. The Eclipse is the biggest private yacht in the world.
It has 9 decks, 30 cabins, two helipads, a swimming pool, a luxury spa and, if passengers become bored on the ship, they can venture out in the ship's submarine.
Yes, a submarine!
A Russian billionaire owns the Eclipse and has also installed a number of safety features, including a military grade missile defense system, armor plating and bullet-proof windows.
The owner is on the list of the world's richest people and his pleasure craft set him back $1.5 billion.
By the way, when you watch the video, you can really see how big this yacht is because it's docked next to a cruise ship.
