The yachting industry has no global listing service to which all charter yachts must subscribe to, making it impossible to ascertain a truly up-to-date view of the market. Charter Index is a news and information service and not always informed when yachts leave the charter market, or when they are recently sold and renamed, it is not always clear if they are still for charter. Whilst we endeavour to maintain accurate information, the existence of a listing on Charter Index should in no way supersede official documentation supplied by the representatives of a yacht.

FULL SPECIFICATION

Description

Big Fish is one of the most travelled and experienced luxury charter expedition yacht ever.

Her stunning and stylish interiors are the height of luxury and design yet her superb construction qualifies her for adventure cruising.

Floor to ceiling windows afford unobstructed, dramatic views throughout. A sweeping three-story atrium is capped with a skylight, while a 24-foot high HD-video wall is dramatic and visually arresting. The Owner’s Suite is a study in understated, warm beauty, whose light-filled bedroom seamlessly merges into a generous, private sun-deck.

With 5,000 square feet of open deck, the outdoors is always just a step away. Take in the world’s most awe-inspring scenery from a secluded nook perched 50 feet above the sea. A dedicated outdoors dining area, a hydraulically adjustable sunbathing platform, a Jacuzzi and a private, fold-out beach club are just some of the features that distinguish this exceptional yacht.

Despite Big Fish’s VIP interiors, she is robust and sturdy. Her windows are 3/4 inch curved tempered glass; her 29′ foot tender has an astounding range of 300 miles; and her decks are epoxied granite.

For the most discriminating expedition client, few charter vessels can match Big Fish.

Big Fish Yacht for Charter

Key specifications

  • Length 45m (148ft)
  • Builder McMullen & Wing

Explore parts unknown with BIG FISH, the explorer yacht that offers adventure and comfort in abundance.

Take in 360-degree views from the sun deck or head up to the crow’s nest for an exceptionally high vantage point, then relax in the Jacuzzi or head off for a scuba dive.

Interior Design & Engineering

McMullen & Wing built the 45-metre vessel to meet specific goals outlined by the BIG FISH yacht owner, who wanted something that could spend long periods away from the crowds while having plenty of wide open spaces and a strong connection to the sea.

The result is a go-anywhere explorer yacht that will take you on an adventurous charter in absolute luxury. This luxury superyacht boasts a 10,000 nautical mile range and carries a substantial tender for further remote exploration.

Designed inside and out by Gregory Marshall, the BIG FISH yacht has plenty of space to take in your awe-inspiring surroundings, like the main salon with its floor-to-ceiling windows.

Up to 10 guests can be accommodated during your BIG FISH yacht charter. The owner’s bridge deck suite presents uninterrupted views through the giant side and aft racing windows, with sliding glass doors leading to a private terrace. The rest of the party will sleep on the lower deck, which can be set up as two generous, full-beam suites or four half-beam cabins.

Yacht Facilities & Entertainment

With an award-winning chef on the crew, meal times will be unmissable. You could start your day with breakfast and juices on the sun deck, where you’ll get 360-degree views. After, unwind in the raised Jacuzzi before spreading yourself onto the sun pads to dry off and soak up the sunshine. Head amidship to the covered area to get a break in the shade and enjoy an alfresco lunch straight from the barbecue.

The open-plan main salon and its round dining table is perfect for more intimate, formal dinners, while the lounge area serves as an ideal gathering spot for aperitifs before you eat.

If you’re in search of the best views, head up to the crow's nest snug on top of the flybridge to find the highest vantage point on the BIG FISH yacht. Or, if you want to feel closer to the ocean, head back down to the main deck and open the fold-out balconies on either side. They’re ideally placed to dive straight into the sea.

Toys and Crew

A crew of 10 will make your BIG FISH yacht charter memorable by helping you make the most of each location.

They’ll also help you master the collection of water toys. Maximise your expedition by taking out the kayas or paddle boards, and don’t forget to take the underwater camera with you if you head off scuba diving. If you fancy some high-speed thrills, have a go at the wakeboards, water skis, windsurfer, Jet Skis and towable inflatable toys.

  • Clean beach like interior design
  • Award winning yacht and chef
  • Wide range of water toys

Russian oligarch Andrey Melnichenko berths superyacht in UAE

Simeon Kerr in Ras al-Khaimah

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

Investigators around the world have been searching for sanctions-hit Russian oligarchs’ yachts. One has been hiding in plain sight.

Italian authorities in March impounded Russian coal and fertilisers magnate Andrey Melnichenko’s $600mn Sailing Yacht A after Russia invaded Ukraine. Another yacht, the $300mn Philippe Starck-designed Motor Yacht A, has been anchored for weeks in the port of Ras al-Khaimah, in the United Arab Emirates.

By placing his yacht in the UAE, Melnichenko has put it beyond the reach of western governments enforcing sanctions on those deemed supportive of Russian president Vladimir Putin’s war on Ukraine.

Its presence is a symbolic reminder of the Gulf monarchy’s ambivalence towards western sanctions on Russia, allies of Putin and the wealthy businessmen who have often benefited from ties to the state.

While the UAE government is trying to enhance measures against money laundering to exit a global dirty-money watchdog’s watchlist, the economic foundation of cities such as Dubai has long been based on welcoming flows of assets and people.

“Given its non-enforcement of western sanctions, the dilemma for the UAE is how to sustain its place as an open destination for capital while also appearing to be a good global citizen,” said one compliance professional. “It’s a tricky balancing act.”

The government of the Isle of Man said it had in March deregistered Melnichenko’s yachts, including Motor Yacht A, because of western sanctions, saying, “we will continue to act with appropriate robustness should the situation warrant it”.

Marine locator services placed Motor Yacht A off the Maldives in March. The Financial Times then saw the yacht on April 18. On Saturday it remained moored opposite Ras al-Khaimah’s city-centre fish market.

Businessmen in the UAE say Melnichenko, who denies affiliations to the Kremlin, held meetings there in April, but the tycoon has since returned to Moscow. A representative of Melnichenko, who has been placed under sanctions by the EU and UK as well as Switzerland and Australia, referred questions on the yacht to a lawyer who declined to comment.

UAE authorities in Dubai, Ras al-Khaimah and Abu Dhabi declined to comment.

European officials say they have raised concerns with Emirati counterparts that the UAE could become a financial haven for Russians placed under western sanctions. “We don’t want our allies to become facilitators for the Putin regime,” said one.

Russian oligarch Andrey Melnichenko attends an event

The UAE government has said it is maintaining a neutral course through the war, calling for an end to hostilities and providing humanitarian aid to Ukraine. Abu Dhabi, which has developed closer ties with Moscow in recent years, has also assured its allies that sanctions-hit entities will not be able to operate in the UAE. The Gulf monarchy, which has long argued that it is not compelled to enforce other nations’ sanctions, is keen to maintain its historical role as an apolitical territory focused on business.

Thousands of wealthy, non-sanctions-hit Russians have relocated to the UAE to escape economic uncertainty and political instability at home, even though they sometimes struggle to access the financial system. “Big banks are more cautious but smaller banks are offering help to those wishing to relocate. It’s just taking a lot of time,” said a Russian businessman.

Very wealthy Russians generally find financial institutions accommodating. Most of the wealthy elite have second passports from countries that sell nationality, such as Malta or Portugal, which facilitates the opening of new accounts with lenders that are warier of Russian passport holders.

Others have turned to alternative routes, such as cryptocurrencies and hawala, or informal money exchange services. The cost of this service has risen from 1 per cent of the transaction value to 5 per cent since the war broke out as demand surges, said one person aware of the trades.

Many in the UAE see a hypocrisy in western concern over the presence of the yacht and the Russians building new lives there. “So it was OK for London to take all the oligarch money but not for Dubai?” asked one lawyer.

Sports | Sailing in Marin: Celebrating 60 years of Rolex Big Boat Series

Rolex Big Boat Series (RBBS), the premier racing event on San Francisco Bay since 1964, always delivers big: epic conditions over four days of racing, world-class racecourses managed by a world-class race committee, and memorable parties.

The regatta, hosted by St. Francis Yacht Club (StFYC) in San Francisco from Sept. 11-15, is stacked with Marin talent, including three teams looking to defend their 2023 titles: Marc McMorris (San Rafael) owner/skipper of the Cape 31 M2; John Arens (San Rafael) owner/skipper of J/109 Reverie; Kristin and Ryan Simmons (Sausalito) owners/skipper of J/105 Blackhawk.

StFYC Commodore Chris Perkins, from Mill Valley, has been involved with RBBS for a good portion of the event’s colorful 60 years of competition. He’s fired up for the full-on schedule of events, on and off the water, which have evolved RBBS into one of the nation’s most prestigious racing events.

“The traditional RBBS racing in front of the club over four days is just fantastic,” says Perkins. “If you like big breeze, we’re blessed; there’s nowhere in the world like it. I’ve raced RBBS since the late eighties and I just love the event.”

Back to defend his title in the highly competitive J/105 fleet Simmons says his team’s competitive edge this year will be consistency, starting with his crew. They’ve been actively racing all year as part of the J/105 championship series which runs March through September culminating with Big Boat Series as the final event of the championship season.

“We’re racing with mostly the same team and we’re lucky we have low turnover, we’ve been sailing together a long time and it’s everything, the big difference,” says Simmons. “We’re hoping to be in the mix and have a chance on Saturday and Sunday. On the first two days of the regatta, you can’t win the regatta, but you can definitely take yourself out of contention so sailing smart the first couple of days then on Saturday and Sunday is really where the championship will be won. NeNe (owned and skippered by Tim Russell, Novato) and Niuhi (owned and skippered by Randy Hecht, Tiburon) have been the premier boats in the most recent regattas but multiple J105s have won RBBS in the last 10 years; we have three North American champions racing in the fleet and a multitude of RBBS winners. It’s a pretty deep field and that’s what we’re in it for.”

Russell has been involved in the J105 class for more than 20 years, formerly owner of Aquavit and since 2019, NeNe. He’s been trailing Blackhawk in recent editions of RBBS, placing second in 2018 and is eager to take home a RBBS first place. He’ll be racing with his usual crew of the past few seasons and the addition this year of Bill Melbostad (Tiburon) who will be trimming main and calling tactics. Russell is currently leading the local J/105 fleet in the 2024 class championship series and will be a serious podium contender.

“The Bay is just the perfect venue for the J105 – it’s an awesome sailing boat for San Francisco and that is what keeps the fleet strong here,” says Russell. “I think there are maybe 10 boats in the fleet that can win a race but there are probably five who can win a regatta. I think the key is that you are not going to get a good start every single time and you have to be able to recover from a bad start; you have to turn what may have been a 12th into a fourth or fifth. It’s super frustrating not having won RBBS but you have to take chances, and I usually approach every regatta being very conservative; in Big Boat you have to gamble.”

Arens has been active on his J109 this summer, including one design racing his boat for the first time, which he notes improved his team’s game immensely.

“The big adventure for us this year was taking the boat down to So Cal for a couple of regattas including Long Beach Race Week which was the Pacific Coast Championship for J/109s, and which we won,” says Arens. “It absolutely upped our game – we had to get used to being around a lot of boats at the start line, windward/leeward marks etc. It really put an emphasis on execution.”

Reverie took third in the recent Swiftsure regatta, considered the dress rehearsal for RBBS, and Arens is looking forward to any surprises that may await in this week’s RBBS.

“Racing in ORC is always a new challenge because you don’t know who you will be racing against year over year so it always feels new. The RBBS competition is super tight and we feel like we are measuring ourselves against the best sailors out there…and we love the rum parties! Our dock assignment at StFYC this year puts us next to Merlin which is really cool; it is a boat I’ve admired since I was a 10-year-old kid when my grandfather was doing the ’77 Transpac.”

Quantum Sails will be hosting Daily Weather Briefings ay 7:30 a.m. every race day. All sailors are invited to tune in for the forecast from experts at Sailflow Weather and to hear local knowledge about San Francisco Bay conditions and currents. Racing is set to begin September 12, at 11 a.m. local time for most classes and 1 p.m. for the Classics.
