So sieht die Yacht des russischen Oligarchen Abramowitsch im Detail aus

So sieht die 637 millionen euro teure yacht „eclipse“ des russischen oligarchen abramowitsch im detail aus.

Link kopiert!

Der russische Oligarch Roman Abramowitsch versucht anscheinend, Sanktionen des Vereinigten Königreichs zu umgehen, indem er seine Superyachten in sichere Gewässer verlegt.

Eine davon ist die Eclipse, deren Bau 637 Millionen Euro kostete und die einst die größte Yacht der Welt war. Sie besitzt unter anderem ein U-Boot, zwei Pools, ein Kino sowie eine Disco.

Diese Yacht lag vor kurzem in New York City. Wir haben die Chance ergriffen und Fotos gemacht.

Roman Abramowitsch, der russische Oligarch, versucht offenbar, die gegen ihn verhängten Sanktionen zu umschiffen. Dazu gehört auch, dass er seine Superyachten in den vergangenen Tagen schnell in sichere Gewässer brachte, in denen sie nicht beschlagnahmt werden können.

Abramowitschs 168 Meter langes Flaggschiff ist die Eclipse, die beim Bau schätzungsweise 637 Millionen Euro kostete. Nachdem Großbritannien nach der russischen Invasion in die Ukraine Sanktionen gegen Abramowitsch verhängt hatte, verließ seine zweite „kleinere“ 546-Millionen-Euro-Superyacht, die Solaris, die spanische Stadt Barcelona und fuhr nach Montenegro. Am 13. März verließ die Yacht jedoch eilig den Hafen, ohne aufzutanken, und fuhr weiter in die Türkei.

In der Türkei traf die Solaris auch auf die pompösere Eclipse, die aus der Karibik in die Türkei kam. Klar: Derzeit ist sie offenbar auf der Flucht vor den britischen Behörden. Das war aber nicht immer so. Einmal lag sie am Pier 90 in Manhattan vor Anker und Robert Johnson konnte für Insider einige Bilder machen.

Insider gibt euch einen exklusiven Blick in die 637 Millionen Euro teure Superyacht Eclipse

1. Direkt südlich dieses öffentlichen Parkplatzes auf dem Dach des Pier 90 Terminals in New York City lag die pompöse Yacht des russischen Milliardärs Roman Abramowitsch, die „Eclipse“, vor Anker.

2. Sie ist 163 Meter lang und gestaltet im Stil eines Militärschiffes.

3. Die Eclipse kostete bei Auslieferung im Jahr 2010 637 Millionen Euro und war damals die größte Yacht der Welt.

4. Das Schiff ist so ausgestattet, dass es mit jedem Schiff auf dem Meer konkurrieren kann. Die Eclipse hat beispielsweise ein eigenes Mini-U-Boot, das bis zu 150 Meter tief tauchen kann.

5. Die Eclipse hat zwei Hubschrauberlandeplätze.

6. Kugelsicheres Glas und Panzerplatten umhüllen die gesamte Länge von Abramowitschs Master-Suite und der Kommandobrücke.

7. Außerdem verbaut: ein Raketen-Abwehrsystem deutscher Bauart.

8. Das Schiff soll auch einen Laserschutz gegen Paparazzi besitzen, sollten sie versuchen, die Gäste auf der Yacht zu fotografieren. Als wir vor Ort waren, gab es aber keinen Hinweis auf dieses Gerät.

9. Die Eclipse hat drei Rettungsboote.

10. Es scheint außerdem, als wäre die Yacht mit medizinischem Material und einer Vielzahl von Funkgeräten bestückt.

11. Vom Parkplatz aus hatte man das Gefühl, fast auf der Eclipse selbst zu sein.

12. Aber die Chancen, dass wir an Bord des Schiffes gebeten werden, waren gering …

13. … Wir hofften darauf, eines der 70 Besatzungsmitglieder zu finden, die auf der Eclipse arbeiten und die uns erzählen würden, wie das Leben auf dem Schiff ist.

14. Leider war niemand an einem Gespräch interessiert.

15. Wir fühlten uns nicht wie Paparazzi und hatten auch nicht den Verdacht, gelasert zu werden, als wir uns auf dem Parkplatz befanden und von dort die Yacht beobachteten.

16. Von hier oben war das Schiff atemberaubend und man sah, wie viel Arbeit dahinter steckte.

17. Das Medium „Yacht Report“ berichtet, dass der Besitz einer Superyacht jedes Jahr etwa 20 Prozent des ursprünglichen Wertes eines Schiffes kostet.

18. Experten schätzen, dass Roman Abramowitsch wahrscheinlich 68 Millionen Euro pro Jahr allein für den Betrieb des privaten Kreuzfahrtschiffs mit 24 Gästesuiten zahlt.

19. Das Schiff teilt sich auf in zwei Swimmingpools im Inneren, eine Disco, ein Kino, einen Friseursalon und ein Restaurant.

20. Diese Türen benutzen Gäste, um das vordere Deck zu betreten.

21. Auf diesem Bild seht ihr die Rettungsringe des Schiffes.

22. Mit 13.000 Tonnen war die Eclipse damals das größte Schiff, das mit einem speziellen Stabilisierungssystem ausgestattet war. Es hält die Yacht in rauen Gewässern, während es vor Anker liegt oder langsam durch die See fährt, ruhig.

23. Abramowitsch musste 136.000 Euro für das Parken der Eclipse in New York City bezahlen, während er womöglich seine Tochter und ihr neues Baby besuchte. Auf den Tag gerechnet waren das etwa 1.600 Euro.

24. Eine große Yacht – wie die Eclipse – kann mehr als 378.000 Liter Treibstoff fassen.

25. Je nachdem wie die Preise stehen, könnte eine fünfstündige Kreuzfahrt pro Strecke etwa 27.000 Euro kosten.

27. Die Summen dürften Roman Abramowitsch jedoch wenig interessieren. Immerhin besitzt er ein geschätztes Vermögen von fast 7,3 Milliarden Euro.

27. Hier seht ihr einige Drohnen-Aufnahmen von der Superyacht.

Roula Khalaf, Editor of the FT, selects her favourite stories in this weekly newsletter.

Russian oligarch Roman Abramovich owns or is linked to a collection of five yachts estimated to be worth almost $1bn, including several vessels whose ownership remained secret until this week.

A Financial Times investigation into the billionaire’s assets has lifted the veil of secrecy he maintains over his wealth, even after the UK and EU imposed sanctions on him following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine for his allegedly close relationship with President Vladimir Putin.

Authorities in the UK and EU are attempting to identify all of the assets owned by sanctioned oligarchs. Abramovich was already widely reported to be the owner of Solaris and Eclipse — worth $474mn and $437mn, respectively, according to yacht data service VesselsValue. But the FT revealed this week that he also owns Halo and Garçon, which are both moored in Antigua.

The Antiguan government was unaware of the ownership of the boats docked on the island before inquiries from the FT, highlighting the scale of the challenge UK and EU authorities face in enforcing sanctions.

Tom Keatinge, director of the Centre for Financial Crime and Security Studies at the Royal United Services Institute think-tank said governments, banks and other institutions trying to enforce sanctions had to navigate a world where “ownership trails run cold and morph into a haze of front companies, nominees and cut-outs”.

Halo and Garçon are valued at $38mn and $20mn, respectively, and are now at risk of being seized.

In a letter to the British high commissioner to Barbados regarding the yachts, Antiguan minister of foreign affairs Paul Chet Greene said the island would “provide full assistance to the government of the United Kingdom” if it receives a request under the two nations’ Mutual Legal Assistance Treaty.

The letter noted that Antigua had requested information on the company that owns the two boats — British Virgin Islands-registered Wenham Overseas Limited — after “persistent allegations by the Financial Times that the vessels could be owned by Mr Roman Abramovich”.

In response, the British high commission provided Antiguan authorities with a letter, seen by the FT, “from the Financial Investigation Agency of the British Virgin Islands which states the beneficial owner of Wenham Overseas Ltd is Roman Abramovich”.

The letter also shows the billionaire’s address in Switzerland is listed simply as “Immeuble, Gatzby Le Magnifique”, which translates as “The Great Gatsby Building”.

Keatinge described the UK’s ability to demand full ownership information of companies registered in any of its overseas territories or crown dependencies as its “most powerful global weapon” in combating financial secrecy.

However, he asked: “How much is that weapon being used?”

A person with knowledge of Abramovich’s boat collection and documents seen by the FT indicate that the oligarch may also still be the owner of Sussurro, the first yacht he bought in 1998, despite reports he had given it to an ex-wife in a divorce.

The person who correctly identified the two yachts in Antigua as belonging to Abramovich told the FT the oligarch still owned Sussurro.

The vessel’s owner is listed in maritime registers as Vesuvius International Limited in the British Virgin Islands. BVI documents show this company was deregistered there in 2017. Another Vesuvius International was registered in Jersey the same year.

The owner of Jersey-based Vesuvius International is listed as Wotton Overseas Holdings Limited. This entity — which shifted from the BVI to Jersey in 2017 — is also the owner through a subsidiary of a helicopter that has been photographed landing on Abramovich’s Solaris several times.

Maritime tracking services show Sussurro, which means “whisper” in Italian and is valued at $11mn, is moored in La Ciotat in the south of France — the same port where the French government last month seized a $116mn superyacht belonging to a company tied to Igor Sechin, head of Russian oil group Rosneft.

Sussurro’s management company is Blue Ocean Management, a Cyprus-based company that also manages Le Grand Bleu, a 113-metre superyacht that Abramovich reportedly gave to his business associate Eugene Shvidler.

The UK placed Shvidler under sanctions last week.

The letter from the BVI’s financial investigation agency to its British counterparts also reveals that the owner of Le Grand Blue — Ashchurch Holdings Limited — is owned by “Zarui Shvidler”. Shvidler’s wife is commonly known as Zara Shvidler.

VesselsValue pegged Le Grand Bleu’s market value in a range of $110mn-$130mn, noting that the boat had last been tracked this week in the Caribbean Sea off the coast of Puerto Rico.

Representatives for Abramovich and Shvidler did not respond to requests for comment.

ECLIPSE Yacht – Epic $600M Superyacht

The ECLIPSE yacht was once the largest yacht in the world at an impressive length of 162.5 metres (533 ft) but currently ranks in second place after AZZAM.

Though she is known as the billion-dollar yacht, it is estimated that her true value lies between US $500 – $700 million.

The vessel can host 36 guests and is even rumored to feature a state-of-the-art anti-paparazzi system to protect the privacy of those on board.

ECLIPSE yacht interior

The interior (and the exterior) was designed by Terence Disdale , who has become one of the top names in the industry despite having no formal design education.

ECLIPSE was his largest project to date, and he also worked on prominent vessels such as A+ and AL SALAMAH. The interior of ECLIPSE is classically designed in a style that is to be expected from one of the largest yachts in the world.

The upholstery and furniture follow a beige and crème color palette with wooden accents.

The yacht’s 18 cabins can welcome 36 guests as well as 70 crew members, which is an unusually large number even for a vessel of this size.

A large dance floor, several fireplaces, two swimming pools, and two helipads are also included onboard.

The ECLIPSE yacht interior is so large that there is even a cinema dedicated exclusively to crew members. In 2015 the interior of ECLIPSE was refitted by Blohm and Voss in Hamburg.

Specifications

The ECLIPSE yacht is the second-largest yacht in the world with a length of 162.5 meters (533 ft), a beam of 22 meters (72.2 ft), and a draft of 5.9 meters (19.4 ft).

She was built by the German shipyard Blohm & Voss and delivered to her owner in 2010.

Four MTU engines power ECLIPSE and allow her to reach top speeds of 25 knots, although her average cruising speed lies at 22 knots.

Her total volume lies at 13564 tons making her not only one of the longest but also the heaviest yachts in the world.

Like the interior of ECLIPSE, the interior was designed by Terence Disdale. According to rumors, Abramovich fitted her with an anti-paparazzi system that detects electronic light sensors from digital cameras.

However, there is no proof of this, although many newspapers report its existence.

On deck are several swimming pools and jacuzzis, and the aft of the vessel features a sizeable beach club. The yacht has a sleek design that attests to Terence Disdale’s classical style.

ECLIPSE came to fame as being the most expensive yacht ever built at the time for an approximate price of US $500 million.

She has seen further improvements since her purchase by Abramovich in 2010 and it is often widely reported that she is worth US $1.2 – $1.5 billion.

Take a closer look at Russian oligarch's $700 million superyacht that is one of the largest in the world

• Roman Abramovich had seemingly scrambled to avoid sanctions from the UK by moving his superyachts.
• One of those is The Eclipse, which cost $700 million to build and was once the biggest in the world.
• That yacht was once in New York City and we took some photos.

Like other Russian oligarchs, Roman Abramovich had seemingly scrambled to avoid sanctions and that included quickly moving his superyachts to more friendly waters.

Many of the 55-year-old billionaire's assets — such as the Chelsea Football Club and several homes — have been sold or frozen since Russia launched an unprovoked war on Ukraine, Bloomberg reported . 

While Abramovich couldn't move the Premier League football club Chelsea FC and sold the $3 billion club , his yachts are another matter. 

Abramovich's 553-foot-long flagship is The Eclipse, estimated to have cost $700 million when built. After sanctions were initially dropped by the UK against Abramovich, his second "smaller" $600 million superyacht, Solaris, left Barcelona, Spain, and moved to friendlier waters in Turkey.

Solaris was joined in Turkey by The Eclipse, which arrived from the Caribbean .

While the superyacht Eclipse was photographed in Turkish waters in early August , it was once docked at Manhattan's Pier 90, and Robert Johnson was able to get some pictures. Take a tour of the superyacht below. 

Robert Johnson contributed to this post.

Just south of this public parking lot on the roof of the Pier 90 terminal in New York City sat Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich's flagship yacht, the "Eclipse."

536-feet long and styled after military vessels.

The 2010 Eclipse cost $700 million and was the world's largest yacht when built.

The vessel has amenities to rival any ship on the sea — like its own mini submersible, perhaps similar to this— able to dive down 150-feet.

The Eclipse has two helipads.

Bulletproof glass and armor plates wrap the length of Roman's master suite and the bridge.

And a German-built missile defense system.

The ship's also supposed to have a laser defense against paparazzi trying to photograph the yacht's guests, but saw no evidence of the device when we were there.

The Eclipse has three launch boats.

That looked to be stocked with medical supplies and a variety of handheld radios.

From the cruise ship parking lot it felt like we were almost on the Eclipse itself.

But with little chance we'd be invited aboard through the ship's door here ...

... We hoped to find one of the 70 crew members required to sail the Eclipse and see if they'd tell us what ship life was like.

But we found no one interested in talking.

But we certainly didn't feel like paparazzi, or that we'd be lasered, when we were in the parking lot tourists use when they arrive to board their cruise.

From up here, the ship was simply stunning and the amount of work required to keep her that way apparent.

The Yacht Report says owning a superyacht costs about 20% of the ship's initial value every year.

But experts believe that Roman probably pays $75 million a year to run the private cruise ship with 24-guest suites.

Looking at the layout of the ship gets us talking about the two swimming pools inside, the disco, cinema, hair salon, and restaurant.

The billionaire's guests would use this door to enter any fore part of the deck.

Perhaps noting where the life rings were as they made their way about the ship.

At 13,000 gross tons, the Eclipse was, at the time, the largest vessel to use a special stabilization system to keep it calm in rough waters while anchored or moving slowly through the sea.

Roman faced a $150,000 tab for parking the Eclipse in New York City while possibly visiting his daughter and her new baby — about $2,000 a day.

A large yacht like the Eclipse can hold over 100,000 gallons of fuel.

Depending on the current price of fuel, a five-hour cruise each way could cost about $30,000.

None of those numbers are likely to concern Roman Abramovich, however, who has an estimated net worth of nearly $8 billion.

Russian Oligarch Roman Abramovich’s Two Superyachts Are Sailing Towards Each Other in the Mediterranean

Ship tracking platforms show that the billionaire’s yachts "eclipse" and "solaris" are relocating to the mediterranean, with no port destination specified., emma reynolds, emma reynolds's most recent stories.

Russian oligarch and billionaire Roman Abramovich is on the move—and so are his superyachts.

After being slapped with sanctions in response to Russia ’s invasion of Ukraine, the billionaire was last seen on March 14 at an airport in Israel, where he has dual citizenship, according to Reuters .

Abramovich, who is currently worth an estimated $7.1 billion, according to Forbes , appears to be moving his yachts to safer waters. His 533-foot superyacht Eclipse , normally anchored year-round in the Caribbean, has been sailing east towards the Mediterranean since February 21, according to global ship tracking platform MarineTraffic. As of Wednesday, the ship is located off the coast of Algeria and is still sailing east with no port destination specified. The yacht, estimated to be worth over $600 million, is one of the largest and most expensive in the world , and seems to be cruising towards Abramovich’s other yacht, Solaris , in the Ionian Sea.

The 461-foot Solaris  is currently located in the Ionian Sea off the western coast of Greece and heading south. Solaris was most recently at a port in Barcelona, where it had reportedly been receiving repairs since late 2021 . The ship left without declaring a destination. However, it’s possible both Solaris and Eclipse are heading towards each other and are even eyeing ports in Israel where Abramovich is considered safe from sanctions.

Though a long-time ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin, Abramovich has denied having close ties to the Kremlin. This hasn’t stopped dozens of nations, including the US, UK and several EU countries, from implementing sanctions and asset freezes on the oligarch. The sanctions are part of a concerted multinational effort to pressure Russia’s wealthiest and most powerful individuals to help bring Russia’s war on Ukraine to an end.

Perhaps sensing the economic pressures to come, Abramovich made headlines just days after the Ukraine invasion for stating his intention to sell his beloved Chelsea Football Club in London for $2.5 billion. The billionaire said all proceeds would benefit Ukrainian refugees and “victims of the war,” which, notably, may also include Russian soldiers.

Russians own up to 10 percent of the world’s megayachts, so Abramovich is just one of many Russian billionaires who are moving their assets to avoid seizure by international authorities. This week, Italian police seized Russian oligarch Andrey Melnichenko’s 486-foot Sailing Yacht A, and earlier this month, France impounded the yacht Amore Vero , owned by Russian oil billionaire Igor Sechin. Other Russian billionaires have had their yachts impounded in other EU countries.

This isn’t the first time Russian oligarchs’ whereabouts have been made public. Florida teen Jack Sweeney, who once tracked Elon Musk’s jet, created a Twitter account —@RUOligarchJets—dedicated to tracking the private jets of Russian oligarchs, which is updated daily.

Roman Abramovich’s Yacht Fleet Past & Present

Say what you want about the elite, but you can’t help but marvel and low-key admire their spending habits when it comes to luxury toys. While Roman Abramovich might only be Russia’s 12th richest man (with a net worth of 9.8 billion USD), he’s undoubtedly the one you’ve heard the most about.

A fortune that began with a toy doll company, Abramovich and his now ex-wife used its success as a catalyst to world domination through everything from oil to consumer goods.

Among his arsenal of past and present superyachts, the billionaire tycoon also owns a private Boeing 767 and Gulfstream G650, while his ex-wife Irina took the Dassault Falcon 900 during their divorce settlement.

The pricetags below of these Roman Abramovich yachts – past and present – are in Australian dollars.

A Complete List of Roman Abramovich’s Yachts

Sussurro – $146 million.

Rumour has it that Sussurro is now owned by his ex-wife by way of a divorce settlement, and is rarely used regardless as it is almost always docked in Antibes.

ECSTASEA – $154 MILLION

Ecstasea is one of the fastest large yachts around, with an impressive 43,000 horsepower at a length of 86 metres.

LUNA – $386 MILLION

This 115-metre monstrosity boasts dual helipads and was built by Lloyd Werft at Stahlbau Nord Shipyards. The world’s second largest expedition yacht, the LUNA was sold to Abramovich’s friend and Azerbaijani billionaire Farkhad Akhmedov for 240 million Euro in 2014.

PELORUS – $386 MILLION

Clocking in at the same length and a very similar price tag, the Pelorus was built in 2003 by Lurssen and was briefly owned by a Saudi businessman before being sold to Abramovich the year after.

Optimised for long distance cruising, the Pelorus is without a doubt the sleekest of the tycoon’s line-up, with this vessel capable of 6000 nautical miles at 16 knots in a single voyage. Pelorus is now owned by Hong Kong businessman Samuel Tak Lee.

ECLIPSE – $643 MILLION

There’s no way Roman Abramovich could part from his flagship superyacht and the world’s largest by length at 163.5 metres. Known as the 1.5 billion dollar superyacht, Eclipse’s original cost price was realistically no more than 500 million USD.

Built in total secrecy by Blohm + Voss of Hamburg to custom request from Roman, Eclipse sports bulletproof windows, an advanced missile detection system and a provision to escape via submarine located at the bottom end of the yacht. Bond villain gadgets aside, its other amenities are things such as dual swimming pools and 20 jet skis.

No Yachts or Airplanes in Abramovich's Income Declaration

Billionaire Roman Abramovich owns nine mansions in four countries, seven apartments and shares in seven companies, but no yachts and no airplanes, according to an official income declaration .

The declaration, published earlier this week on the web site of the Chukotka elections commission, also says Abramovich holds $115 million in cash in 22 bank accounts, which earned him interest payments of $4.9 million.

Abramovich has been the speaker of the Chukotka legislature since 2008 after serving as the region's governor for eight years. He is up for re-election as an independent candidate in March.

The sums are a trifle compared with the billionaire's total wealth, which was estimated at $17.1 billion earlier this week by Finans magazine.

Abramovich, who made his fortune in the oil industry in the 1990s, has acquired considerable fame for spectacular spending. Media reports said over the years that his ship fleet includes the Eclipse, the world's longest motor yacht at 162.5 meters, and the 115-meter Pelorus.

He is also known to fly in a Boeing 767 wide-body liner and a number of helicopters that can land on his boats.

But these items do not appear on Abramovich's declaration published for next month's regional elections. Instead, it lists under "means of transport" seven cars, including two BMWs and one Mercedes limousine.

His spokesman John Mann said Wednesday that the list, submitted in December, was fully compliant with the law. "This declaration is in full accordance with the questionnaire that must be answered by each candidate," he said, adding that the questionnaire for the candidate does not specifically ask about boats and planes.

"This will help journalists to stop repeating false information about Mr. Abramovich's property," he said referring to recent media reports that Abramovich bought villas in Austria, Tuscany and elsewhere.

The declaration does not provide information on the real estate holdings other than their size and location, but still indicates that Abramovich's property ranges from a humble 283-square-meter abode in Anadyr, capital of Chukotka, to a massive 2,421-square-meter residence in the Moscow region. Apartments in Britain and the United States are also mentioned.

Among the most valuable are Abramovich's French properties, which show up in the declaration as three items with 372, 590 and 910 square meters each. The list includes Chateau de la Croe in the Riviera, once home to the Duke of Windsor after his abdication from the British throne in 1936.

In 2009, Abramovich made headlines when he bought a 70-acre estate on St. Barthelemy, a French island in the Caribbean, for reportedly $90 million, making it one of the most expensive private homes ever sold.

The list of his companies ranges from the Chelsea Football Club, bought by Abramovich in 2003, to obscure holding companies like Wotton Overseas. Abramovich's most well-known company, Millhouse, does not appear because it is an asset management firm, Mann said.

Roman Abramovich’s Yachts: Everything You Want To Know

You may be familiar with the jet setting lifestyle of Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich, owner of the Chelsea football club, who has an estimated net worth of over $8 billion. He’s not just rich, he’s a man who loves yachts and loves them a lot. Not only does he own the Eclipse, the most expensive yacht in the world, he owns 15 other yachts that we know of. Clearly this is a man who enjoys ship life. Other Russian oligarchs like private jets, Abramovich likes private boats.

Up until 2023 it was believed Abramovich owned a mere 6 vessels, but new information bumps that number up significantly. Let’s take a look at some of the most notable examples of the vessels in the fleet and what we know about them.

The Eclipse Yacht

Roman Abramovich has the distinction of owning the most expensive yacht in the world, the Eclipse. It was built in Hamburg by Blohm and Voss in 2010 and was recently seen in Turkey where it is likely avoiding international sanctions against Russian billionaires which would confiscate the vessel.

How Expensive is the Roman Abramovich Yacht Eclipse?

The superyacht Eclipse is obviously the flagship of Abramovich’s fleet and it’s believed the initial construction price was $427 million. Though that’s obviously very expensive it wouldn’t technically make this the most expensive yacht in the world. However, rumor has it that Abramovich had custom additions put on the yacht including a security system fit for a small army, which boosted the total cost to $1.5 billion.

How Big is the Eclipse Yacht

For some years, the Eclipse was the world’s largest yacht at 533-feet. Other yachts have since surpassed that length but obviously it’s still an absolutely enormous vessel. It has a gross tonnage of 13,000 GT and a beam of just over 72 feet. It is the largest vessel Abramovich owns.

How Fast is the Eclipse Yacht?

It’s believed the Eclipse has a top speed of about 22 knots. This is provided by four MTU 20V 1163 TB93 diesel engines.

What is the Eclipse Like on the Inside?

The interior of the Eclipse is well guarded and not many people have been on board. That said, there are some things we do know about the vessel and what Abramovich has had installed. To start with, the yacht has not one but two helicopter landing pads. It also has its own mini submersible and previously it had been reported that there were 3 landing boats but now we know that he has 8 support vessels of various kinds for the yacht.

There are quarters to house as many as 70 crew members making this yacht essentially a private cruise ship in terms of staffing and amenities. There is room for 36 guests as well.

It is rumored that the yacht has two swimming pools on board including one that is nearly 50 feet long, plus several hot tubs scattered throughout. The large pool has a retractable glass sunroof. The 18 guest rooms are said to contain full home 6-foot cinema screens for private viewings. For a group experience, the bow of the ship is also a cinema with a massive screen. Each guest room, of which there are 24, has its own jacuzzi and private security system.

There are spas on board and a disco as well, and unusual amenities like a full size pantry and gullwing doors that pull up to reveal a barbecue and pizza oven. The yacht’s guests can also enjoy an 830 square foot gym, massage room, beauty salon, beach club, sauna and portholes that offer a view inside the large pool. There’s even a wood-burning fire pit on the main deck for campfires. 

The ceiling in the 5,000 square foot master suite opens like a retractable dome in a sports stadium to give passengers a view of the night sky if they so desire.

The security on Eclipse is one of the things that gets talked about a lot and what is known about it is impressive. To start, the glass is all bulletproof. The hull is armor plated to prevent damage from direct attacks. There is an anti-paparazzi system installed which prevents digital cameras from taking photos when they’re aimed at the vessel, which is why you’ll see so few photos of it when it’s in use. Finally, there’s a sophisticated missile detection system that is able to detect missile attacks and launch its own counter attacks. So, yes, this yacht apparently has missile launchers on board, something usually reserved for military vessels.

What Other Yachts or Launch Boats Does Abramovich Own?

Journalists recently discovered that the Russian billionaire owns 16 yachts , about 10 more than previously known. Eight of these vessels are support ships for the Eclipse which was previously thought to just have three launch boats as support. These are the remaining 7.

The second most expensive yacht in Abramovich’s fleet, Solaris is 458 feet long, 11,011 tons and had a reported price tag of $475 million. Other sources say this is actually a $600 million vessel. It has room for 36 passengers in 18 cabins as well as crew quarters to handle up to 60 crew members at a time. These are just estimates based on the size and design of the yacht, however, as Abramovich is notoriously private when it comes to secure matters like these. This large yacht may have swimming pools inside and other amenities but little has been published in any yacht report about those features.

The top speed of the yacht is listed at 18 to 20 knots with a cruising speed of 14 knots and it features not just a pool but a helicopter landing pad on deck. Propulsion is provided by the largest ABB Azipod propulsion package ever used in a private yacht.

It’s said to contain over 2,000 square meters of glass including the largest panes ever used in a superyacht. 

The yacht, at last report, was moored in Turkey where it is not subject to international sanctions that have been levied against the Russian oligarch.

This would be Abramovich’s third most expensive yacht coming in at $38 million and 180 feet long. Designed by Amels, it is sometimes available for charter and can house 12 guests and 13 crew in its quarters. The yacht has a top speed of 15.5 knots and a range of 4,500 nautical miles The cruising speed is 13 knots.

The Garcon is actually larger than the Halo but costs less. It reportedly had a $20 million price tag but clocked in at 220 feet. Made by Damen Yachting, this is sometimes used as a support vessel as it was by its previous owner. It has space for 21 people in total.

The Garcon is a much faster yacht than some of its size, powered by 4 Caterpillar engines, that can reach 25 knots at full throttle. Normal cruising speed is 18 knots.

This is a $1 million Bluegame yacht that measures just a fraction of his larger boats, coming in at 40 feet.

Little is known about this particular yacht other than it measures 80 feet and was reported to have cost Abramovich $3 million.

This 162-foot, $11 million yacht has been moored in La Ciotat on the French Riviera since 2022. It was built in 1998 and features a 27.5 foot beam.  The vessel is powered by Paxman + Textron engines which produce 3442 hp each giving Sussurro a maximum speed of 46 knots and a cruising speed of 20 knots making it one of the fastest yachts of its size in the world.

Moored in the Netherlands, this yacht measures 164-foot and reportedly cost $30 million. Powered by MTU diesel engines the vessel has a top speed of 23 knots. There is room on board for 12 guests in 5 staterooms, as well as a crew of 9.

The Bottom Line

Roman Abramovich owns the world’s most expensive yacht, the Eclipse, as well as many other yachts that, until recently, were hidden assets. Because of international sanctions against Russian oligarchs due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine, many of his yachts are subject to seizure in various countries so ownership of them was hard to determine. Even now it’s speculated he may own many others.

Roman Abramovich’s superyacht Eclipse spotted off of Greenock, Scotland

Roman Abramovich’s superyacht Eclipse has been spotted off Greenock, Scotland. It’s unclear whether Eclipse ’s owner is on his luxury yacht in Scotland, but the 162.5 metre yacht has been turning heads nonetheless.

The second largest yacht in the world, Roman Abramovich's Eclipse has been making quite a stir as Scotland is a more unusual superyacht charter destination , especially this time of year when many iconic yachts are seen in the Mediterranean .

Roman Abramovich’s superyacht Eclipse spent this spring at a shipyard in Barcelona. She left the Med, sailing via Bergen, Norway, and around the UK to the northern waters of Scotland. She might just be making a scenic stop and enjoying cruising Scotland’s craggy coast by luxury yacht  before heading back south.

Eclipse was named Motor Yacht of the Decade during the World Superyacht Awards 2015. Roman Abramovich’s superyacht Eclipse held the title of world’s largest private yacht for an impressive three-year stint from her launch in 2010 until 2013, when new largest yacht in the world 180 metre Azzam stole the crown.

When Eclipse left the Blohm+Voss yard in Germany, however, it was her ownership as much as her gargantuan proportions that drew headlines. Roman Abramovich stands at the vanguard of a wave of Russian owners who have made such a mark on the superyacht industry that they have redefined its boundaries. Their boldness and ability to spend vast sums have not only pushed size, but also design, to exciting new levels.

It's no wonder that Roman Abramovich's Eclipse  being seen in Scotland is making waves, as she's the only yacht of her kind and of such ownership in sight.

Eclipse is notable for plenty apart from her size. Yacht designer Terence Disdale ’s graceful lines flatter her bulk with rulebook-writing aplomb and she’s chock-full of custom features, including a 16 metre swimming pool that can be converted into a dance floor.

Her interior – also by Terence Disdale – boasts hundreds of bespoke finishes exclusively developed for the project. Some of the statistics she carries are undeniably impressive: a 56 metre-long owner’s deck; pads for two helicopters plus a hangar for a third under the foredeck; accommodation for 92 crew and staff; 18 suites for 36 guests.

Many details of her specifications and design are shrouded in mystery, but as the only media organisation to have featured Eclipse in full, Boat International can attest that this is one truly extraordinary yacht, as the locals are getting to see while superyacht Eclipse makes a cameo in Scotland.

London-based port operator accused over Abramovich $600m superyacht

Global Ports Holding facility in Turkey may be breaching UK sanctions by letting vessel dock, say lawyers

A London-headquartered port operator could be breaching sanctions laws by allowing Russian oligarch Roman Abramovich to dock his $600m (£460m) superyacht Solaris at a port that it operates in Turkey.

Legal experts said Global Ports Holding, which has been listed on the London Stock Exchange since 2007, was taking “a very big risk” by allowing a superyacht owned by a sanctioned individual to use one of its ports.

Solaris, which is 140m long and boasts a helipad and swimming pool, arrived at Bodrum Cruise Port last week, according to shipping intelligence service Marine Traffic . The port is one of 22 terminals run by Global Ports Holding, which is headquartered in Mayfair in London. Abramovich, the owner of Chelsea football club, is one of several Russian billionaires hit by UK sanctions last month as part of the government’s efforts to put pressure on Vladimir Putin to end the invasion of Ukraine. Boris Johnson described the sanctioned individuals as having “the blood of the Ukrainian people on their hands”.

Lawyers said Global Ports Holding was probably risking a breach of UK sanctions laws if it accepted port or other fees for hosting a superyacht linked to someone subjected to financial sanctions. UK sanction laws prevent British companies from accepting payments from companies or assets controlled by sanctioned individuals .

Michael Biltoo, a partner at law firm Kennedys, said Global Port Holdings was “certainly at risk … a very big risk” of breaching UK sanctions. “If we were advising them, we’d say, ‘Stop, you need to make a number of checks,’” he told the FT .

Simon Taylor, a partner at Forensic Risk Alliance, said: “The UK is invoking strict liability for sanctions laws and closing any perceived loopholes fast. Companies must be alert to potential risk, particularly in high-profile cases, and as move quickly as possible to avoid penalties and reputational damage.”

Global Ports Holding did not respond to requests for comment.

Ukrainian protesters tried to stop Solaris mooring at the port last week. Members of the Optimist Sailing Team Ukraine confronted the vessel in a small boat, chanting, “No war in Ukraine” and waving the country’s flag. They were part of a junior sailing team that was in Turkey to compete in an annual competition, having left Ukraine before the invasion.

The Solaris had been undergoing urgent repairs in Barcelona, but left hurriedly on 8 March as European Union countries began seizing sanctioned individuals’ assets . Four days later it stopped at the port of Tivat in Montenegro, which is not in the EU, before arriving in Bodrum.

Turkey has refused to impose sanctions on Russians despite the UK, US and EU uniting to impose restrictions on oligarchs believed to have benefited from close relationships with Putin. The Turkish foreign minister, Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu, this week said the oligarchs were “of course” welcome and could do business in Turkey according to international law.

Eclipse, another even larger superyacht owned by Abramovich, is also currently moored in Turkey. Eclipse, which at 162.5m is believed to be the world’s second largest superyacht, arrived at the port of Marmaris on 22 March.

Luxury rules at the moscow yacht show.

by Maria Sapozhnikova

The windy Russian autumn weather might be a little bit tricky for sailing, but it doesn’t stop brave yachtsmen from all over the world from flocking to Russian capital in the beginning of September when the Moscow Yacht Show commences. The main Russian Yacht exhibition gathers professional and amateur yacht lovers together under the wing of The Royal Yacht Club.

This year it took place for a fourth time already. The exhibition is considered the principal event on the sporting and social calendar. The Moscow Yacht Show 2010 united in one area three of the largest Russian yachts distributors: Ultramarine, Nordmarine and Premium Yachts.

A wide range of yachts were on display for a week. An exhibition showcased yachts both from Russian manufacturers and world famous brands: Azimut, Princess, Ferretti, Pershing, Riviera, Doral, Linssen, etc.

It was a real feast for seafarers as visitors of the show had a unique chance not only to take a look at the newest superyachts before they hit the market, but also to evaluate their driving advantages during the test drive. The show provided an excellent opportunity for yacht enthusiasts to choose and buy a new boat for the next season.

The event started with the grandiose gala evening. It included grand dinner, the concert and professional awards ceremony for achievements in Russian yachting industry. The guests also enjoyed the annual regatta.

Special guest Paolo Vitelli, Azimut Benetti Group president, opened the evening.

Next year organizers assured guests they would bring more yachts, the scale of which will even make oligarch Roman Abramovich envious. Sounds very promising indeed.

Sex, Abramovich, and Money - Interviews with Russian people in Moscow - February 2004

Some previous comments to the article – share your comments below....

Comment (27/02/04): "I have met a Russian lady through a dating agency. We have an age difference of ten years, she always is sweet and supportive of me even though she knows I am not a Rich American. I plan to visit her this July, 2004. Her name is Irina and she really makes me feel good especially talking on the phone. I know life is tough but she is willing to come to the USA if we both feel we are right for one another. Is there anything I should watch for? I also have a very active sex life, ofcourse I would only devote it to my lady, how does she feel about sex? From what I read it seems the male must initiate everything, is this true? I also heard that many russian women don't kiss their husbands during love making. I would appreciate any help to answer my questions..Bill"

   Comment (20/02/04): "Bush a liar, cheat and thug??? He may be a little bit of a wimp. But the rest--hey, he is better than Kerry could ever hope to be right now. (unless Kerry changes-big time.)"

Comments (18/02/04): "I wonder how long it will take Russia and Russians to 'wake up and smell the coffee' as it were in terms of accepting other people and other cultures. I get told we all bleed the same colour of blood, black or white, brown or pale, we are all the same people but of course from different ancestral source. I have been to Moscow several times from UK (Black British) and its worrying the amount of heads and eyeballs that rolls on every occassion. I am sometimes inclined to believe that these 'glare' are very suspicious. We dont have such surprising look here in UK as I believe London is getting flooded with Moscowvites, I think I'd prefer that because that allows some of us who have so much adoration for Moscow enjoy Moscow away from Moscow. I also do admire the ladies above who have candidly answered the racism question with a high degree of sensitivity, but the reality is that not all Russians share these views. I do wonder how long it will take Moscow to get on board the boat of civilisation, as we all know, missing the boat is not an option. This site is a very enlightened and educative site, it also has a very high degree of political correctness about it, which is highly great, I never stop recommending this site to my colleagues at work who are always coming to Moscow on business trips. Despite the country's misgivings but hey guys! you all rattle our cages here in UK. Just keep doing what you do best - spread the word about Moscow but make sure you correct the racial attitude. Thanks always. Sleeky, Buckingham Palace, London"

Comments (16/02/04): "I think Russian people know that terrorists are a grave problem throughout the world. Mr. Bush, like Mr. Putin has taken a proactive stand to fight and stop terrorists. Mr. Putin has said: "We do not negociate with terrorists, we destroy them" Mr. Bush uses similar language. A safe and secure country is most important. Mr. Bush is honest, fair man who makes difficult decisions based upon best information available. Russia has instituted a good flat income tax system. A system which will be pro business, help investment activity and will not harm progress. I think American should follow Russia's lead and lower income taxes even more. Tax wealthy Americans with consumtion taxes, not income taxes. "

Comment (12/02/04): "Enough about Russian women, what about Russian men? May I ask the same silly questions about them, such as "what do they look like. Do they all have tattoos, high-cheekbones and hairy chests?", "What is sex like with them?","What can a hopelessly bland western male do to be more "russian?", and lastly, when are you guys at W-T-R going to post your long ago promised feature about Russian men?" Answer: Ok, from now on, the questions will be asked, so that they can be answered both for men and women. As for the feature about Russian men — we're working on it... :-)

Comment (11/02/04): "You are askin many un professional question to Russian People like: The USA President, rescism marriage and sex. At first, the USA has bring prostitution and drugs to destroy culture Countrys like Russia, Nort America only want's to impose his culture od "DEAT" and exportin products of degenerated society. Whites of america are the mos big rascist of the world, people have to come to live here to see and understand the reality not us the way they heard."

  Comment (11/02/04): "I can't believe the number of Russians who think "resident select" Bush is doing the right thing. That man and his cabal are destroying all that is good in my country. He is a liar, a cheat, thug, and coward, and a class "A" hypocrite. He is dismantling our environmental, labor, and consumer safety laws and has declared political dissent an act of treason. He is bankrupting our nation with his endless tax-breaks for the wealthy while running up a massive deficit with his unjustified war. Whatever Mr. Putin's flaws, and he does have them, he nontheless does seem to care about the wellbeing of the common Russian, and is willing to kick a little oligarchic butt to help keep things more balanced. I wish I had such a president....well, to a point."
