Hot on the trail of 56 superyachts owned by Russian oligarchs and subject to seizure
- Published: Mar. 06, 2022, 2:04 p.m.
French authorities have seized the yacht Amore Vero linked to Igor Sechin, a Putin ally who runs Russian oil giant Rosneft, as part of EU sanctions over Russia's invasion of Ukraine. The boat arrived in La Ciotat on Jan. 3 for repairs and was slated to stay until April 1 and was seized to prevent an attempted departure. (AP Photo/Bishr Eltoni) AP
- The Associated Press
The massive superyacht Dilbar stretches one-and-a-half football fields in length, about as long as a World War I dreadnought. It boasts two helipads, berths for more than 130 people and a 25-meter swimming pool long enough to accommodate another whole superyacht.
Dilbar was launched in 2016 at a reported cost of more than $648 million. Five years on, its purported owner, the Kremlin-aligned Russian oligarch Alisher Usmanov, was already dissatisfied and sent the vessel to a German shipyard last fall for a retrofit reportedly costing another couple hundred million dollars.
That’s where she lay in drydock on Thursday when the United States and European Union announced economic sanctions against Usmanov — a metals magnate and early investor in Facebook — over his ties to Russian President Vladimir Putin and in retaliation for the invasion of Ukraine.
“We are joining with our European allies to find and seize your yachts, your luxury apartments, your private jets,” President Joe Biden said during his State of the Union speech Tuesday night, addressing the oligarchs. “We are coming for your ill-begotten gains.”
But actually seizing the behemoth boats could prove challenging. Russian billionaires have had decades to shield their money and assets in the West from governments that might try to tax or seize them.
Several media outlets reported Wednesday that German authorities had impounded Dilbar. But a spokeswoman for Hamburg state’s economy ministry told The Associated Press no such action had yet been taken because it had been unable to establish ownership of the yacht, which is named for Usmanov’s mother.
Dilbar is flagged in the Cayman Islands and registered to a holding company in Malta, two secretive banking havens where the global ultra-rich often park their wealth.
Still, in the industry that caters to the exclusive club of billionaires and centimillionaires that can afford to buy, crew and maintain superyachts, it is often an open secret who owns what.
Working with the U.K.-based yacht valuation firm VesselsValue, the AP compiled a list of 56 superyachts — generally defined as luxury vessels exceeding 79 feet in length — believed to be owned by a few dozen Kremlin-aligned oligarchs, seaborne assets with a combined market value estimated at more than $5.4 billion.
The AP then used two online services — VesselFinder and MarineTraffic — to plot the last known locations of the yachts as relayed by their onboard tracking beacons.
While many are still anchored at or near sun-splashed playgrounds in the Mediterranean and Caribbean, more than a dozen were underway to or had already arrived in remote ports in small nations such as the Maldives and Montenegro, potentially beyond the reach of Western sanctions. Three are moored in Dubai, where many wealthy Russians have vacation homes.
Another three had gone dark, their transponders last pinging just outside the Bosporus in Turkey — gateway to the Black Sea and the southern Russian ports of Sochi and Novorossiysk.
Graceful, a German-built Russian-flagged superyacht believed to belong to Putin, left a repair yard in Hamburg on Feb. 7, two weeks before Russia invaded Ukraine. It is now moored in the Russian Baltic port of Kaliningrad, beyond the reach of Western sanctions imposed against him this past week.
Some Russian oligarchs appear to have not gotten the memo to move their superyachts, despite weeks of public warnings of Putin’s planned invasion.
French authorities seized the superyacht Amore Vero on Thursday in the Mediterranean resort town of La Ciotat. The boat is believed to belong to Igor Sechin, a Putin ally who runs Russian oil giant Rosneft, which has been on the U.S. sanctions list since Russia annexed Crimea in 2014.
The French Finance Ministry said in a statement that customs authorities boarded the 289-foot Amore Vero and discovered its crew was preparing for an urgent departure, even though planned repair work wasn’t finished. The $120 million boat is registered to a company that lists Sechin as its primary shareholder.
On Saturday, Italian financial police in the port of San Remo seized the 132-foot superyacht Lena, which is flagged in the British Virgin Islands. Authorities said the boat belongs to Gennady Timchenko, an oligarch close to Putin and among those sanctioned by the European Union. With an estimated net worth of $16.2 billion, Timchenko is the founder of the Volga Group, which specializes in investments in energy, transport and infrastructure assets.
The 213-foot Lady M was also seized by the Italians while moored in the Riviera port town of Imperia. In a tweet announcing the seizure on Friday, a spokesman for Italian Prime Minister Mario Draghi said the comparatively modest $27 million vessel was the property of sanctioned steel baron Alexei Mordashov, listed as Russia’s wealthiest man with a fortune of about $30 billion.
But Mordashov’s upsized yacht, the 464-foot Nord, was safely at anchor on Friday in the Seychelles, a tropical island chain in the Indian Ocean not under the jurisdiction of U.S. or EU sanctions. Among the world’s biggest superyachts, Nord has a market value of $500 million.
Since Friday, Italy has seized $156 million in luxury yachts and villas in some of its most picturesque destinations, including Sardinia, the Ligurian coast and Lake Como.
Most of the Russians on the annual Forbes list of billionaires have not yet been sanctioned by the United States and its allies, and their superyachts are still cruising the world’s oceans.
The evolution of oligarch yachts goes back to the tumultuous decade after the 1991 fall of the Soviet Union, as state oil and metals industries were sold off at rock-bottom prices, often to politically connected Russian businessmen and bankers who had provided loans to the new Russian state in exchange for the shares.
Russia’s nouveau riche began buying luxury yachts similar in size and expense to those owned by Silicon Valley billionaires, heads of state and royalty. It’s a key marker of status in Moscow and St. Petersburg, and size matters.
“No self-respecting Russian oligarch would be without a superyacht,” said William Browder, a U.S.-born and now London-based financier who worked in Moscow for years before becoming one of the Putin regime’s most vocal foreign critics. “It’s part of the rite of passage to being an oligarch. It’s just a prerequisite.”
As their fortunes ballooned, there was something of an arms race among the oligarchs, with the richest among them accumulating personal fleets of ever more lavish boats.
For example, Russian metals and petroleum magnate Roman Abramovich is believed to have bought or built at least seven of the world’s largest yachts, some of which he has since sold off to other oligarchs.
In 2010, Abramovich launched the Bermuda-flagged Eclipse, which at 533 feet was at the time the world’s longest superyacht. Features include a wood-burning firepit and swimming pool that transforms into a dance floor. Eclipse also boasts its own helicopter hangar and an undersea bay that reportedly holds a mini-sub.
Dennis Cauiser, a superyacht analyst with VesselsFinder, said oligarch boats often include secret security measures worthy of a Bond villain, including underwater escape hatches, bulletproof windows and armored panic rooms.
“Eclipse is equipped with all sorts of special features, including missile launchers and self-defense systems on board,” Cauiser said. “It has a secret submarine evacuation area and things like that.”
Eclipse was soon eclipsed by Azzam, purportedly owned by the emir of Abu Dhabi, which claimed the title of longest yacht when it was launched in 2013. Three years after that, Usmanov launched Dilbar, which replaced another slightly smaller yacht by the same name. The new Dilbar is the world’s largest yacht by volume.
Abramovich, whose fortune is estimated at $12.4 billion, fired back last year by launching Solaris. While not as long as Eclipse or as big as Dilbar, the $600 million Bermuda-flagged boat is possibly even more luxurious. Eight stories tall, Solaris features a sleek palisade of broad teak-covered decks suitable for hosting a horde of well-heeled partygoers.
But no boat is top dog for long. At least 20 superyachts are reported to be under construction in various Northern European shipyards, including a $500 million superyacht being built for the American billionaire Jeff Bezos.
“It’s about ego,” Cauiser said. “They all want to have the best, the longest, the most valuable, the newest, the most luxurious.”
But, he added, the escalating U.S. and EU sanctions on Putin-aligned oligarchs and Russian banks have sent a chill through the industry, with boatbuilders and staff worried they won’t be paid. It can cost upwards of $50 million a year to crew, fuel and maintain a superyacht.
The crash of the ruble and the tanking of Moscow stock market have depleted the fortunes of Russia’s elite, with several people dropping off the list of Forbes billionaires last week. Cauiser said he expects some oligarch superyachts will soon quietly be listed by brokers at fire-sale prices.
The 237-foot Stella Maris, which was seen by an AP journalist docked this past week in Nice, France, was believed to be owned by Rashid Sardarov, a Russian billionaire oil and gas magnate. After publication of an earlier version of this story, AP was contacted Sunday by yacht broker Joan Plana Palao, who said his company represents a U.S. citizen from California who purchased the Stella Maris last month. He declined to disclose the name of the buyer or the person from whom the boat had been purchased.
On Thursday, the U.S. Treasury Department issued a new round of sanctions that included a press release touting Usmanov’s close ties to Putin and photos of Dilbar and the oligarch’s private jet, a custom-built 209-foot Airbus A340-300 passenger liner. Treasury said Usmanov’s aircraft is believed to have cost up to $500 million and is named Bourkhan, after his father.
Usmanov, whose fortune has recently shrunk to about $17 billion, criticized the sanctions.

“I believe that such a decision is unfair and the reasons employed to justify the sanctions are a set of false and defamatory allegations damaging my honor, dignity and business reputation,” he said in a statement issued through the website of the International Fencing Federation, of which he has served as president since 2008.
Abramovich has not yet been sanctioned. Members of the British Parliament have criticized Prime Minister Boris Johnson for not going after Abramovich’s U.K.-based assets, which include the professional soccer club Chelsea. Under mounting pressure, the oligarch announced this past week he would sell the $2.5 billion team and give the net proceeds “for the benefit of all victims of the war in Ukraine.”
Meanwhile, location transponders showed Solaris moored in Barcelona, Spain, on Saturday. Eclipse set sail from St. Maarten late Thursday and is underway in the Caribbean Sea, destination undisclosed.

- Story Text: Moscow is nowhere near the ocean and its rivers are frozen most of the year. Yet Russia's superrich are snapping up yachts from around the world to cruise on the capital's waterways, making the city a yacht capital. At a four-day yacht festival this week on the banks of the Moscow River, more than twenty international boat sellers promoted their latest models. Although Russia has no yachting tradition and a lot of Russians live barely above the poverty line, yacht sellers say the demand for luxurious boats has been booming in the few years as the country recovers from a financial meltdown in the late 90s. Their main customers are Moscow's growing legion of millionaires, always on the look out for new status symbols. "Every person who is buying a house on the water immediately wants a boat and they go for premium quality. They don't even want to try what boat they want, they immediately ask what is the best one. And we are lucky with this because our boats are the most expensive, and the best and the most luxurious," said Svetlana Vasilyeva, General Director of Premium Boat Service (PBS), a Dutch company that imports American motor yachts. In business for just two years, PBS says it sells one to three yachts per week, ranging from 7 to 11 metres long and costing between two and five hundred thousand U.S. dollars per piece. However, sellers are realizing that there is even more money to be made with bigger boats. "Only five years ago the biggest boat in Moscow area was 39 feet, which is 12 metres. At the moment the biggest boat is 30 metres. Price wise the difference is 15 times. So, if you talk about the business, we got in quite occasionally, but now it is our passion," said Georgy Chumburidze, who -- at 25-years-old -- is the owner and director of Ultra Marine, a company that sells big Italian yachts of the brand Azimut. Chumburidze said he sells some 40 to 50 yachts per year. Without a sea nearby, Moscow's yacht owners mainly use their yachts to cruise on the rivers and lakes around the capital. "In principle it is quite comfortable for an hour boat trip, and after that you can always dock at a cozy picturesque restaurant in a harbour and relax. But if you want to have some waves, this size of the boat also allows you to put it on a big trailer and drive it to Krasnodar (area on the Black Sea) or to the coast by Saint Petersburg, without a problem," said Dmitry Bukhotoyarov, a chairman of a bank who bought his powerful Cobalt 343 at the end of last year's yachting season. As thousands of Moscovites watched from the river banks and bridges, proud yacht-owners happily showed off their new toys and cruised towards the Kremlin.

What Daisy Kelliher's Been Up to Ahead of Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 5 (EXCLUSIVE)
Parsifal III chief stew Daisy Kelliher shared updates on her dating life, fertility journey, and life since Season 4.
Daisy Kelliher will soon be returning to the screen when Season 5 of Below Deck Sailing Yacht premieres on Monday, October 7, but it's been a while since viewers last caught up with her.
How to Watch
Watch Below Deck Sailing Yacht on Bravo on Monday, October 7 at 9/8c and next day on Peacock . Catch up on the Bravo app .
Ahead of the Season 5 premiere, Daisy chatted exclusively with The Daily Dish about the latest in her world — from her dating life to her egg freezing journey .
When asked what she's been up to, Daisy admitted, "Not much."
"God, what have I been doing? That's a scary question. I have not progressed in life at all," she teased before laughing. "I have not bought a house, I haven't gotten a new job, I've done nothing — quite brilliant! But a lot of traveling, you know. A lot of fun stuff. And, yeah, mainly traveling."
Daisy has been a mainstay on board Parsifal III for years now, but she still takes chief stew positions here and there.
"I'll temp when I can, but it's hard because temping is so last minute, so I'm usually not that last minute," the London-based stew said. "But yeah, if I ever get a chance to get on a boat, I definitely take that still."

Is Daisy Kelliher dating anyone?
The Ireland native, who dated Colin MacRae after Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 4 , is single.
"No, never dating anyone," Daisy told The Daily Dish about the latest in her personal life. "It lasts a hot minute and then explodes in my face."
Daisy Kelliher's fertility journey
In early September, Daisy began the process of freezing her eggs for the second time. She shared why she wanted to publicize the egg retrieval while speaking to The Daily Dish .

"I have obviously reached an age where I'm still single, and, you know, science has allowed us to have options, and one of those is egg freezing. I'm not trying to have a baby, I'm not guaranteeing that I'm going to use these or anything like that — I never actually wanted children 'til I was older, anyway — but it's nice to be able to have these as a backup plan," she explained. "And it's not guaranteed, but they're there to use if I wish."
Daisy froze her eggs for the first time in November 2023, and she confirmed that three viable eggs were retrieved the second time around. She detailed the ups and downs of the entire process on social media.

"I just thought it was important to share my story, because I'd done a cycle previously, and I just had so many people asking questions and looking for information, so I saw an opportunity to be able to share something that was informative, Like, it's it's easy to share your life and be like, 'Oh, I'm on this amazing beach and I'm drinking this great drink,' or 'I've got this great beauty product,' but, it's nice when you're able to share something actually really informative and comforting to lots of other people," Daisy continued. "So yeah, I saw the opportunity, and I'm an open book. I did reality TV for four years. So I was like, why not share this?"

Kamindu Mendis becomes fastest Asian to hit 5 Test hundreds, equals Don Bradman
Mendis is the joint-third fastest to five test hundreds from debut, equalling the legendary don bradman and george headley in 13 innings. only everton weekes (10), herbert sutcliffe (12) and robert harvey (12) have scaled the mark quicker than mendis.
Sri Lanka’s Kamindu Mendis continued his record-breaking Test streak, smashing his fifth hundred in only his 13th innings from debut during the second Test against New Zealand in Galle on Friday.
After becoming the first batter to record fifties in eight consecutive Tests from debut on Thursday, Mendis sprinted to his fifth ton and second in successive Tests against the Kiwis off 147 balls. Mendis later finished unbeaten on 182, as he crossed the 1000-run mark in Tests in 13 innings, an Asian record.
Mendis is the joint-third fastest to five Test hundreds from debut, equalling the legendary Don Bradman and George Headley in 13 innings. Only Everton Weekes (10), Herbert Sutcliffe (12) and Neil Harvey (12) have scaled the mark quicker than Mendis.
Mendis thereby eclipsed the previous Asian record held by Pakistan’s Fawad Alam, who reached his fifth century in 22 innings. Aravinda de Silva held the previous Sri Lankan record, having reached his fifth hundred in his 38th innings. Mendis also surpassed Joe Root (4) for most Test hundreds this year.
Mendis is also on course to become the fastest Asian to reach 1000 Test runs, having become only the seventh batter ever to cross the 900-run mark within 13 innings. India’s Vinod Kambli is the quickest Asian to the feat, having reached the mark in 14 innings.
Mendis began his Test career in 2022 at home in Galle and scored a half-century in his first innings at No. 6 against Australia. He marked his Test return earlier this year and went on a streak of 102, 164, 92* and 9 against Bangladesh in Sylhet and Chattogram, with consecutive hundreds batting at No. 7 and 8. The left-hander manned the lower-order one again on the tour to England, emerging as Sri Lanka’s highest run-scorer with another hundred to his tally.
Mendis currently possesses the third-highest First Class average among active cricketers who have amassed at least 2000 runs in the format.
Fastest to five hundreds from Test debut (innings)
10 – Everton Weekes – 1948 12 – Neil Harvey – 1925 12 – Herbert Sutcliffe – 1931 13 – Don Bradman – 1930 13 – George Headley – 1931 13* – Kamindu Mendis – 2024
