This could mean the record-shattering ship may soon change owners, according to Yacht Harbour.

The new owners could enjoy amenities including an onboard gym, swimming pools, a golf training room, private submarines and a helipad. With its royal past, not a whole lot is known about the details of the inside, but everything we do know confirms its magnificence. It is considered to have easily surpassed Abramovich's famous Eclipse superyacht in terms of features \- which itself boasts several pools, a cinema, a gym, and two helipads. The furniture on board the Azzam also features so much intricate pearl detailing that it equates to a year's worth of worldwide pearl production, according to Boat International.
