JustLuxe Discovers Mega Yacht "A" in San Diego Bay

Luxury Yachts: The 390-foot mega yacht owned by Russian billionaire Andrei Melnichenko recently made its way into San Diego waters. Built by naval architect Blohm & Voss, the impressive mega yacht, formerly known as Project Sigma SF99, now goes by the name "A." While its new name may be short and sweet, when it comes to bells and whistles, the German-built motor yacht is in no way lacking.

Designed by Philippe Stark, "A" features an array of over-the-top amenities, including three swimming pools, a lavish owner's suite, six guest suites and enough space to accommodate more than 40 crew members. With its twin 6035hp MAN RK280 Diesel engines, upside down hull, and unique exterior aesthetics, the mega yacht is truly a sight to be seen. When JustLuxe caught wind that "A" would be cruising into San Diego Bay, we jumped at the chance to see the mega yacht in action. After all, how often is it that you get to see a mega yacht that costs an estimated $1 million to fill up in fuel alone?
