The world’s largest super yacht, Eclipse, an imposing sight in Carlisle Bay last week, has sailed out of Barbados after a three-day stay.

Said to be the most luxurious private yacht ever built, Eclipse is reported to have two helipads, two swimming pools, 24 guest suites and a three-man luxury submarine. Its owner is Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich, who is reported to have had the 548-ft yacht built at a cost of US$475 million. (GC)
