At 492 feet, Shaddai‘s length alone should make her impressive, but add a stateroom 125 feet above the water and you have a design where even the sky is not the limit.
Italian designer Gabriele Teruzzi created this bold design with the idea of bringing a sense of omnipotence to the traveller aboard the superyacht — hence the name Shaddai, which translates to “God Almighty” in English.
“To ascend from the ground has being a desire in the human kind since the very beginnings,” states Teruzzi on his site. “There are precious examples like the Tower of Babel, the Pyramids in Egypt and today in the magnificent skyscrapers, the wish to touch the clouds continue to be present in the most powerful minds.”
