Citadel. A place of refuge, safety.
I don't know about you, but the first thing I
inquire about before I spend any lengthy time on a vessel is where my citadel
is.
It is safe to say that if you are going to be on a
luxury mega yacht, its best to assume the worlds wealthy are spending millions
on specialized trained personnel, some even British SAS (SIS) / MI5 or 6.... and
military-style James Bond technology.
A citadel is basically a hidden chamber on a vessel
with food and water; telephones and radios; some even have toilets... basically the necessities for survival.

With no welding and minimal
need for specialist equipment or training, the room offers ballistic and blast
protection, smoke screen technology, and can keep a crew of 2-24 people safe
for up to 5 days with ship to shore communication.

Even more extravagant is
the "escape pod" - a submarine that
is ready at all times to ferry those on board away to safety. The submarines
are mostly used as a leisure addition on super yachts, but there are no denying
the benefits of these dual purposed luxury items.
The Nautilus VAS Luxury Submersible is perfect for
exploring and is a great escape if pirates are after you. The best part is you
can listen to music on its stereo and use the minibar to fix yourself a dirty
martini - shaken, not stirred. A steal for only $2.7 million, especially next to Paul Allen's 40 foot submersible.
