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.

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.

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.
![roman abramovich biggest yacht Eclipse yacht BV](https://yachtbible.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/Eclipse-yacht-BV-1024x1024.jpg)
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.
![roman abramovich biggest yacht Eclipse tender FV](https://yachtbible.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/Eclipse-tender-FV-1024x1024.jpg)
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.

Roman Abramovich’s $1bn five-yacht fleet revealed

Robert Smith , Cynthia O’Murchu and Arash Massoudi in London and Max Seddon in Riga
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”.
![roman abramovich biggest yacht The yacht Amore Vero after being impounded by French authorities in La Ciotat, France.](https://www.ft.com/__origami/service/image/v2/images/raw/https%3A%2F%2Fd1e00ek4ebabms.cloudfront.net%2Fproduction%2F9f7b9aa1-1a91-4aa9-b91f-33f0b373eead.jpg?source=next-article&fit=scale-down&quality=highest&width=700&dpr=1)
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?”
![roman abramovich biggest yacht UK transport secretary Grant Shapps with the impounded Russian-owned yacht Phi in Canary Wharf, east London.](https://www.ft.com/__origami/service/image/v2/images/raw/https%3A%2F%2Fd1e00ek4ebabms.cloudfront.net%2Fproduction%2Fdca650ce-a387-4b0b-9cfe-de8510951736.jpg?source=next-article&fit=scale-down&quality=highest&width=700&dpr=1)
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.

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.
![roman abramovich biggest yacht Roman Abramovich Yachts](https://bosshunting.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/sussurro-yacht-photos-2.jpg)
ECSTASEA – $154 MILLION
Ecstasea is one of the fastest large yachts around, with an impressive 43,000 horsepower at a length of 86 metres.
![roman abramovich biggest yacht Roman Abramovich Yachts](https://bosshunting.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/ecstasea-1.jpg)
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.
![roman abramovich biggest yacht roman abramovich biggest yacht](https://bosshunting.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/2016-12-luna-16.jpg)
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.
![roman abramovich biggest yacht Roman Abramovich Yachts](https://bosshunting.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/pelorus_yacht.jpg)
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.

Eclipse – The World’s Most Expensive Private Yacht
![roman abramovich biggest yacht Eclipse mega yacht](https://www.marineinsight.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/Eclipse-mega-yacht.png)
In the world of soccer, Roman Abramovich is a popular figure as he owns the leading English club, Chelsea. The Russian businessman helped the Blues become a big spender in the transfer market, bringing brilliant players like Arjen Robben, Didier Drogba, Fernando Torres, etc. to offer the beautiful game to club supporters across the world.
In addition to the Chelsea football team, which is a beauty on soccer fields, Abramovich owns another marvel: a private yacht named Eclipse.
The 162.5m-long beauty Eclipse is the world’s second-largest and one of the most expensive superyachts. Its estimated cost is 590 million (€340 million), and its current owner has owned it since December 2010.
A synonym for luxury, this superyacht is best suited for all adventure and water sports activities and provides splendid trips to cultural and historical destinations.
Built by renowned German shipbuilder Blohm + Voss, the Eclipse was launched in June 2009 after five years of design, development, and testing. Before its final delivery, several sea trials were conducted starting in May 2009 at Kristiansand, Norway.
When delivered, Eclipse won the spot for the largest superyacht in the world, beating the 162m-long M/Y Dubai of Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the Prime Minister of the United Arab Emirates. Eclipse retained the title until the arrival of the 180m-long Azzam, UAE President Khalifa bin Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan’s private yacht in 2013. Currently managed by Blue Ocean Yacht Management, Eclipse was selected as the Motor Yacht of the Year in 2011 at the World Superyacht Awards.
Specifications of Eclipse Yacht
As mentioned earlier, this tremendous superyacht measures 162.5m (533’1″ft) in length, 22.00m (72’2″ft) in width and 5.90m (19’4″ft) in the draft, offering a vast area for luxurious leisure activities. The Bermuda-flagged Lloyds Register class yacht has a Gross Tonnage of 13000 tonnes.
Eclipse is powered by a diesel-electric, dual propulsion system with four MTU 20V 1163 TB93 marine diesel engines, offering the latest propulsion technology for maximum speed performance. These engines power the rotating Azipod drives, giving the yacht a maximum speed of 25 knots and a cruise speed of 22. Featuring 1,000,000 litres of fuel tanks, Eclipse can travel up to 6,000 nautical miles at 21 knots before refuelling. The boat also can store about 150,000 litres of freshwater abroad.
Interior and Exterior Design
While Blohm + Voss provided the naval architecture, Terence Disdale Design carried out the superstructure design of the Eclipse. The UK-based award-winning firm was also responsible for interior design, deck layouts, and construction supervision.
Incidentally, the vessel’s construction was performed with great secrecy, and due to this reason, the project was named Project Luxury Yacht M 147 throughout the construction period. However, the details of the technical design and construction of the yacht have not been revealed to the public; the design and layout are available for people to marvel at.
Divided into nine decks, the top deck of Eclipse is taken up by the helicopters and garage. The swimming pool and sundeck go on level eight, while level seven features a pool, atrium and an open deck. The salon, main dining hall and a 40ft X 60ft full-beam loggia are located on the sixth level, and the fourth floor features the main entrance of the yacht. While the next level of the yacht divides the cabins and suites of the owner, guests and crew, the second deck of the vessel acts as a docking port for the submarine. Level one accommodates the engine room, machinery, and a small disco club.
The superyacht with a displacement steel hull has an aluminium superstructure, while its decks become magnificent, featuring teak woods. To offer a smooth cruising experience, the yacht features an ultra-modern stabilization system that minimises the roll motion effect and is equipped with ‘at anchor stabilisers’ to increase comfort when the boat is stationary. Featuring the Art Deco interior design, with an innovative, technology-rich environment and the use of soft metallic fabrics, Eclipse offers a splendid living experience for its owner. With diverse facilities across the decks, the yacht meets the optimum standard of offering a leisure time platform.
![roman abramovich biggest yacht Image credits : Wikipedia](https://www.marineinsight.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/Eclipse-superyacht.png)
The entire yacht has been bejewelled with features to make it more luxurious. Spread across many decks, Eclipse facilities abroad include a gym, dance floor, underwater lights, beach club, wifi connection, beauty salon, tender, garage, deck jacuzzi, etc. Further, the Eclipse holds two helipads and a 16 m swimming pool that can be converted into a dance floor. This motor yacht can accommodate three helicopters, two on both helipads and the third one in a storage hangar below the foredeck. Moreover, Eclipse also flaunts internal lifts, six tenders and an exterior fireplace on-board. The boat also features a place for a three-person private submarine that can go up to a depth of 160ft.
Eclipse is also one of the most technologically advanced yachts around the world. The boat boasts the latest technology safety features, including motion sensors, bulletproof glass and antiballistic missile defence. In fact, each cabin in the yacht comes with a private 6ft home cinema screen, a Jacuzzi, a spa and specialized security systems. According to reports, Eclipse has an anti-paparazzi system that detects the use of digital cameras to click photographs of the boat. Using lasers, the system detects digital cameras and disrupts a potential picture of the yacht, as those infrared lights can make it unstable.
Accommodation
The yacht has 11 staterooms and suites, totalling 6000 square feet. With this facility, Eclipse can house 30 guests and a 92-member staff crew abroad. The master suite, located on level five of the yacht, is 5000 square feet alone. In addition, the boat also has a pilothouse on level seven.
With all these facilities incorporated, maintaining the Eclipse is not a less expensive matter. An annual expense of over $60 million is reportedly required to maintain this luxury boat. According to media reports, Abramovich charges its customers around £ 175,000 to rent the vessel for a day.

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.

The World’s Largest Luxury Yacht is priced at $1 Billion
By Adrian Prisca
Updated on August 31, 2017
![Eclipse Superyacht 1 Eclipse Superyacht](https://cdn.luxatic.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/Eclipse-Superyacht-1.jpg)
The world’s largest luxury yacht is Eclipse , owned by Russian billionaire and Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich, an amazing 536 ft-long yacht which is 5 ft longer than Dubai, the previous yacht which hold the record for the world’s largest boat. Eclipse features eleven luxurious guest cabins with 6 ft home cinema screens each and breathtaking amenities, two swimming pools, a disco hall and even two helicopter pads.
The larger swimming pool can be even turned into a dance floor when the water is drained out. Guests of the Eclipse can enjoy partying here without worrying about paparazzi because this luxury yacht has a special electronic shield which protects the yacht from unwanted attention. A maximum security system which includes a missile detector and a bullet proof glass for the master suite makes it one of the most protected yachts out there as well.
The Eclipse superyacht also features three launch boats and even a mini submarine if guests want to explore the waters around. It’s price? The largest luxury yacht in the world is probably the most expensive as well and it’s priced at $1.2 Billion.

Roman Abramovich Brings World's Largest Yacht to NYC
![roman abramovich biggest yacht Share on Facebook](https://www.justluxe.com/images/jl-new/share-facebook.png)
Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich has brought Eclipse , the world’s largest private luxury yacht , to New York City for the first time, ever where it will reportedly remain docked for over a month. Over the weekend the oligarch, who is worth $12 billion, docked the $800 million, 557-foot vessel in Midtown Manhattan in a berth usually occupied by a cruise ship where it has attracted hordes of onlookers. A spokesman for Abramovich refused to comment on the reasons for Eclipse ’s unexpected arrival, but insiders have speculated that it has something to do with his pregnant girlfriend Dasha Zhukova, who is expecting the couple’s first child in the spring and may be seeking medical attention in the world capital.
CNBC reports that Abramovich is most likely using the yacht as an alternative to a hotel or private residence as it offers more room for his numerous security staff and entourage. As we've reported in the past, Eclipse also has many protective features such as a missile defense system, armor plating, bullet-proof windows and a laser shield system designed to deter paparazzi. The yacht also has a submarine, discotheque, private cinema, two swimming pools and two helipads. It carries a crew of 80 and can accommodate 62 guests. After docking in St. Bart’s over New Year’s where Abramovich maintains a lavish estate, Eclipse journeyed to Bermuda before arriving in New York.

Inside jeff bezos and lauren sanchez’s hot yacht summer with kim kardashian, leo & more.
![roman abramovich biggest yacht Lauren Sanchez rocks a tiny gold bikini as she and billionaire fiance Jeff Bezos ride jet skis on the Aegean Sea in Greece.](https://nypost.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/06/lauren-sanchez-rocks-tiny-gold-84616780.jpg?quality=75&strip=all&w=744)
If Jeff Bezos’ and Lauren Sánchez’ hot yacht summer were a movie, it would be a mashup of “Three Coins in the Fountain,” “Eat Pray Love” and “The Perfect Storm” — and the season’s not over yet.
The 60-year-old billionaire and his fiancée, 54, are sailing the Mediterranean again this summer on Bezos’ $485 million yacht Koru , which features a sultry figurehead on the prow that looks an awful lot like Sánchez.
They’ve cruised to Greece, Italy and Spain, with a pit stop Wednesday on the secluded island of Menorca in the Balearics, where they took refuge — along with some other expensive yachts — from a low-pressure storm called Dana.
Bezos and Sánchez have been accompanied on the 417-ft Koru by their support yacht, Abeona , which holds their water toys and a fleet of A-list guests who have included Kim Kardashian, Katy Perry, Orlando Bloom, Leonardo DiCaprio and his 25-year-old Italian supermodel girlfriend Vittoria Ceretti, and others.

“They’re the flavor of the month in the Med,” said a longtime entertainment exec just back from a month in the South of France.
“For a while it was the Russians, and way back in the day it was Ari [Onassis] and Maria [Callas] on the [yacht] Christina. But the Russians like Roman Abramovich are pretty much gone now. There’s always a new wave,” the exec said. “[Sánchez] seems tacky but I’ve heard she’s very nice and Bezos adores her. Is she ever going to look like Babe Paley? Not in this lifetime.”
The exec also pointed out that the Koru is more than 100 feet longer than Barry Diller’s yacht, which measures just over 300 feet — but not as big as David Geffen’s 453-foot vessel — saying billionaires often have “aquatic penis envy.”

The world’s second-richest couple channeled their inner Audrey Hepburn and Gregory Peck in Rome on Tuesday when they shared a passionate kiss in front of the famed Trevi Fountain, seemingly oblivious to the hordes of tourists.
Bezos, in a fitted golf shirt, navy pants and boating shoes, and Sánchez, in a red halter minidress and peep-toe heels, also joined the crowd in the time-honored tradition of tossing money into the fountain with their right hands.
Oh, to know what they wished for.
![roman abramovich biggest yacht Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez walking together at the Allen and Co. Sun Valley Media and Technology Conference, July 2024](https://nypost.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/08/jeff-bezos-lauren-sanchez-attend-85299494_f0dfe0.jpg?w=1024)
Later they held hands and walked down cobblestone streets to their dinner destination, Pierluigi, where photographers snapped them dining on white wine, salad and bread at a table containing a singular red rose.
The couple took a bit of a solemn detour on land on Thursday when they swung by the Vatican for a visit with 87-year-old Pope Francis.
“He reminded us not to take life too seriously, a simple yet powerful reminder to keep lightness in our hearts,” Sanchez wrote on social media.
![roman abramovich biggest yacht Lauren Sanchez riding a jet ski in a gold bikini on the Aegean Sea in Greece with Jeff Bezos following behind on his own jet ski.](https://nypost.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/08/lauren-sanchez-rocks-tiny-gold-84616783.jpg?w=1024)
Bezos and Sánchez began their summer in June island-hopping in Greece with a rare appearance by Bezos’ 19-year-old son Preston, who Bezos shares with his ex-wife Mackenzie Scott.
Kim Kardashian then joined them, zipping around the Med on jetskis . At one point Kardashian and an unidentified blonde rode her jetski as they took selfies.
The “Keeping Up With the Kardashians” alum has been tight with Sánchez and Bezos for a couple of years, going on a double date in 2022 and attending a Beyoncé concert in 2023.

In September 2023, the trio had dinner together in New York City , joined by Nicky Hilton.
The “Kardashians” star made it clear that Sánchez is part of her inner circle when she celebrated her birthday in a Season 5 episode.
Meanwhile, Bezos and Sánchez were also spotted on their own in Greece on the island of Hydra, walking hand-in-hand on the seafront. They popped up next on Mykonos and from there it was on to Pserimos, famed for its beaches.
July saw them jet to Sun Valley, Idaho, for the town’s namesake financial conference attended by billionaires.

Last weekend, the pair pulled up on the island of Sardinia with Perry, Bloom, DiCaprio and Ceretti. The celebs came to shore on one of Bezos’ smaller boats for lunch at a high-end beach resort before heading back to Koru.
Bloom and Perry — who started their own month-long vacation in France — also vacationed with Bezos and Sánchez around this time last year. In August 2023, the foursome was spotted walking around Dubrovnik, Croatia, with Usher.
DiCaprio and Bezos have been “really close friends” for years, with a source previously telling Page Six they often vacation together and find “common ground in the fight against climate change and their work in environmental activism.”
Koru ranks as the planet’s thirty-second largest yacht and costs about $25 million to operate annually. The vessel can accommodate 18 guests and requires a crew of 40 sailors to manage its amenities.
Its three huge, 229-foot masts power it to 20 knots. It’s also the biggest billionaire’s yacht which can move under sail power alone.
Bezos and Sánchez recently relocated from Seattle to Indian Creek Island in Miami, where Bezos bought three mansions for about $237 million — surely a nice home if you’ve got to be on land.
