    The world is not enough. 140' MY speeds of around 65 knots. 47 knots in a 68' yacht is nothing compared to that!

    No way! What luxury yacht can do 65 knots? That sounds like a go fast.

    No, it's a full fledged MY and looks like 1 as well with 3 decks etc. Google "The world is Not Enough MY".

    Awesome video on the World is Not Enough, I remember seeing it on TV a few years back.

    The comments people left are just pathetic though...

    The video title itself seems to limit to Sunseeker. Not just any yacht.

    There are 3 weight/length categories of big motor-yachts ( Super-Yachts, Mega-Yachts and Giga-Yachts).
    Each category has its own speed champion.
    As to Giga-Yachts it's, no doubt, "AZZAM".

    Bah.. cant link it ofc, but google "superyacht The Register"
    And you get a nice list of top 10 fastest superyachts.

    World is not Enough 70 knots
    Fortuna 68 knots
    Alamshar 65 knots
