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.

An Up-Close Look At Roman Abramovich's $1 Billion Superyacht

There's rich, and then there's the superyacht rich.

And yachts don't get any more super than Roman Abramovich 's 553-foot long $1 billion plus flagship the Eclipse. 

The Eclipse is currently docked at Manhattan's Pier 90 .

The following photos show a bit of what more than $1 billion plus buys in a personal motor yacht these days.

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

roman abramovich eclipse yacht pictures

The Coast Guard referred us to this website where we pinpointed the ship's position and confirmed it hadn't sailed.

roman abramovich eclipse yacht pictures

536-feet long and styled after military vessels, we simply had to take a look.

roman abramovich eclipse yacht pictures

The 2010 Eclipse cost up to $1.5 billion and was the world's largest yacht until recently.

roman abramovich eclipse yacht pictures

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.

roman abramovich eclipse yacht pictures

The Eclipse has two helipads.

roman abramovich eclipse yacht pictures

Bullet proof glass and armor plates wrapping the length of Roman's master suite and the bridge.

And a German built missile defense system.

roman abramovich eclipse yacht pictures

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.

roman abramovich eclipse yacht pictures

The Eclipse has three launch boats.

roman abramovich eclipse yacht pictures

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

roman abramovich eclipse yacht pictures

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

roman abramovich eclipse yacht pictures

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

roman abramovich eclipse yacht pictures

... 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.

roman abramovich eclipse yacht pictures

But we found no one interested in talking.

roman abramovich eclipse yacht pictures

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.

roman abramovich eclipse yacht pictures

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

roman abramovich eclipse yacht pictures

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

roman abramovich eclipse yacht pictures

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

roman abramovich eclipse yacht pictures

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

roman abramovich eclipse yacht pictures

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

roman abramovich eclipse yacht pictures

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

roman abramovich eclipse yacht pictures

At 13,000 gross tons the Eclipse is 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 abramovich eclipse yacht pictures

Roman will face a $150,000 tab for parking the Eclipse here while possibly visiting his daughter and her new baby — about $2,000 a day.

roman abramovich eclipse yacht pictures

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

roman abramovich eclipse yacht pictures

That fuel burns at about $3,000 per hour making a five hour cruise each way, about $30,000.

roman abramovich eclipse yacht pictures

None of those numbers are likely to concern Roman Abramovich, however, who has an estimated net worth of more than $10 billion.

Written by Mike Smith

Here are some impressive photo images of the world’s largest superyacht ECLIPSE as sent in by ship and yacht photographer Klaus Kehrls. Klaus took these wonderful superyacht photographs of yacht ECLIPSE on the 18th of May-2010 in Hamburg Rüschpark.

roman abramovich eclipse yacht pictures

Superyacht ECLIPSE Owned by Roman Abramovich is the Largest Private Luxury Yacht in the world. Yacht Eclipse - Photo image by ship and yacht photographer Klaus Kehrls

The huge steel displacement superyacht ECLIPSE measures around 170 metres, making her the world’s largest (or longest) private mega yacht in the world. M/Y ECLIPSE was designed by Hermidas Atabeyki with interior designs by the very well know yacht designer Terrence Disdale. She was built by the Thyssenkrupp Blohm + Voss shipyard in Hamburg, which is a large industrial giant in Germany. The mega yacht has a gross tonnage of around 13,000 tonnes and superyacht Eclipse is slightly larger (around 36 ft longer) than the world’s previous longest private luxury yacht Dubai at 162 m, as owned by Sheikh Mohammed of Dubai.

Summary of Motor Yacht Eclipse and her custom features:

Yacht Eclipse is able to accommodate her guests in 11 staterooms and suites with 6,000 sq ft of living space and 600 doors. The premiere luxury yacht features incredible technology including heli facilities (with two helicopter pads), two swimming pools, several hot tubs, a disco hall, three launch boats and a mini-submarine capable of submerging up to 165ft. The Blohm & Voss built mega yacht reportedly has intruder detection alarms installed as well as an advanced missile defence system.

roman abramovich eclipse yacht pictures

Yacht ECLIPSE was built by the experienced yacht owner Roman Abramovich who has commissioned several motor yachts including Le Grand Bleu, Pelorus, Sussurro and Ecstasea and now Eclipse. Perhaps the most complex private yacht ever built, yacht Eclipse had a preliminary launch back in late 2009 and her finishing and testing currently underway by Blohm & Voss in Germany and Norway. - Photo image by ship and yacht photographer Klaus Kehrls

The yacht is also possibly equipped with an ‘anti-paparazzi shield’, as activated by camera flashlights, which prevents some photography when operating by using lasers aimed directly at the offending cameras to overexpose unwanted photographs. In addition some of the windows on megayacht ECLIPSE have bullet proof glass and other areas are armour-plated for ultimate security against increasing worldwide piracy attempts.

Yacht ECLIPSE was built by the yacht owner Mr. Roman Abramovich and had her preliminary launch back in late 2009 with finishing and testing still being carried out in Germany and Norway. Roman Abramovich the experienced owner has commissioned several motor yachts including Le Grand Bleu, Pelorus, Sussurro and Ecstasea and now Eclipse.

Russian Billionaire Roman Abramovich Owns 16 Yachts And Vessels, 10 More Than Previously Known

  • Share to Facebook
  • Share to Twitter
  • Share to Linkedin

Roman Abramovich.

Documents show that the sanctioned tycoon has a much larger fleet than previously known. At least one of the previously unreported yachts is currently in French territory, putting it at risk of being frozen by authorities.

A trove of leaked documents has revealed several previously unreported assets owned by sanctioned Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich . The files, shared with the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project (OCCRP) and its partners, including Forbes , show that Abramovich owns at least 10 more yachts and vessels through offshore companies and trusts—in addition to six yachts worth at least $1 billion that were already public knowledge.

The documents come from MeritServus, a Cyprus-based corporate services provider used by Russian oligarchs, and were initially shared with The Guardian , which received them from an anonymous third party. According to The Guardian , the files show that Abramovich transferred ownership of 10 offshore trusts with billions of dollars in assets —including the trust that owns his yachts and private jets—to his seven children in early February 2022, just three weeks before the Russian invasion of Ukraine and about a month before Abramovich was sanctioned by the U.K. and EU. An OCCRP investigation using company records and documents in the leak also revealed that Abramovich had invested some $230 million in a large Russian forestry company —whose other shareholders included the Russian government—between 2008 and 2016, before selling his stake for about $110 million one month before the outbreak of war in Ukraine.

Forbes identified 10 vessels owned by Abramovich that had not been previously attributed to him, bringing his overall tally to 16. Eight of the ships are small vessels that, according to the leaked documents, are “used to support the operations” of Eclipse , the 533-foot, $427 million megayacht that Abramovich had built in 2010. Eclipse is currently moored in the Turkish port of Bodrum, with three more of Abramovich’s yachts—the 458-foot, $475 million Solaris , the 180-foot, $38 million Halo and the 220-foot, $20 million Garcon —all anchored nearby, along Turkey’s western Mediterranean coast. A representative for Abramovich did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Outside of the eight support vessels, the leaked documents also show that Abramovich owns a 40-foot Bluegame motor boat named Umbra A , valued at roughly $1 million in a 2016 annual report. The most valuable of the previously unreported yachts is the 80-foot Kewpie , worth about $3 million according to yacht valuation experts VesselsValue. The ship is registered in Bermuda and is currently located in the French overseas territory of Saint Barthélemy, more commonly known as St. Barts, where it has been moored since early November. Abramovich is a familiar face in St. Barts: He owns two properties on the island, one of which was frozen by French authorities in April.

That means Kewpie is also at risk of being frozen, because it’s located on French territory and Abramovich is under EU sanctions—unlike the megayachts in Turkey, which has not imposed sanctions on Russian oligarchs. And Kewpie isn’t the only one of Abramovich’s vessels that could be in trouble. His 162-foot, $11 million Sussurro has been moored in La Ciotat on the French Riviera for nearly a year. Yet another yacht, the 164-foot, $30 million Aquamarine , appears to still be in the Netherlands. Aquamarine ’s ultimate owner is a British Virgin Islands-based company that Abramovich transferred to his business associate David Davidovich on February 24, 2022.

Abramovich uses a complex structure of offshore entities for his yachts plus other assets including four jets , six helicopters and luxury villas and estates . His fleet of 16 ships and 10 aircraft—worth a collective $1.6 billion—are owned by several firms registered in offshore havens including Aruba, the British Virgin Islands, the Isle of Man and Jersey, all known for their secrecy and low-tax regimes. The leaked filings, combined with a seizure warrant for two of Abramovich’s jets filed by the U.S. Department of Justice in June, show that all of these assets—except Aquamarine —are ultimately owned by the Cyprus-based Europa Settlement Trust.

Until February 4, 2022, Abramovich was the trust’s only beneficiary. But on that day, two of Abramovich's representatives—David Davidovich and Tatyana Haykin—filed a document that added his seven children as additional beneficiaries. Four days later, Abramovich was removed entirely, leaving the trust and its trove of yachts and jets to his kids. The amendments to the trust appear to have been completed by February 24, the same day Russian tanks rolled into Ukraine.

Despite the changes to his trusts in February, Forbes still counts Abramovich as a billionaire with an estimated net worth of $8.7 billion. While the megayachts and jets are now technically owned by his children, the oligarch still appears to control them: Abramovich flew aboard his Gulfstream G650 from Israel to Istanbul on March 14, before departing for Moscow the next 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.

Roman Abramovich's £1 billion Eclipse yacht has its own missile defense system

eclipse-jahta-roman-abramovic-2

More photos

His 166-meter-long ship has twenty-four guest cabins, two swimming pools and a night club, and even a missile defence system…

Roman Abramovich left behind seven properties in Britain, including two houses in Lowndes Square, which together are worth more than 150 million British pounds. However, if you ask us, his most lavish and extravagant residence is his superyacht, Eclipse. Abramovich spent 350 million British pounds to build this ship, although many say that figure exceeded a billion because of all the luxury and safety extras.

As we learn, at the time he got the keys to his yacht in 2010, it was the largest private yacht in the world, and probably the most extravagant toy of its kind. Along with all the upgrades and maintenance costs, she has reached that famous price of over a billion British pounds.

Built by the renowned German shipyard Blohm & Voss in the Hamburg shipyard, Eclipse yacht was launched after five years of design, development and testing. Her length is, as we have already stated, about 166 meters, while her tanks can hold a million litres - this means that she can travel 6,000 miles before having to stop.

Roman Abramovich's Eclipse yacht has nine decks, while the highest of them contains two helipads and a garage. The helipad located in the front section opens to allow the Eurocopter EC155 to fit comfortably in the hangar below.

The eighth deck contains a swimming pool and sunbathing area, with a built-in grill and pizza oven. The main salon features a fireplace and a massive sculpture originating from Indonesia. There is also a swimming pool located on the seventh deck, whose depth can be adjusted, because its floor can be raised and lowered, so that it can also be transformed into a dance floor.

Abramovich's master suite is armoured, and the entire Eclipse yacht has bulletproofed windows and lasers that prevent the paparazzi from taking any photos.

There is also a huge gym on the yacht, as well as a spa area with a beauty salon, sauna and massage room. The lower deck contains suites and cabins, and the yacht can host 32 passengers and 100 crew members.

Each cabin has its own private cinema screen, jacuzzi, spa and special security systems.

Designer Terry Disdale recalled the day his incredible creation was launched: "Even though you design every part of a ship and watch it being built step by step, nothing can prepare you for the feeling you'll have when you see it fully built."

The walls of this yacht are covered with black wood, with silver details pressed into the grooves. The number of security gadgets this yacht has would put any James Bond villain to shame.

The glass is bulletproof, while the ship itself is protected by an anti-ballistic missile defence system installed by German specialists, AST. In case you think that's not enough, you must know that Eclipse yacht is also equipped with a three-person submarine, which can descend to a depth of 48 meters, so you can easily escape from any trouble.

However, Abramovich's superyacht is very expensive to maintain - it is estimated that maintenance costs reach the figure of 40 million British pounds annually.

In addition to this yacht, Roman Abramovich owns three villas in France, including the castle we just wrote about, four residences in Russia, three in America, a hotel in an exclusive part of Tel Aviv, as well as a luxurious resort on the Caribbean Island of St. Barts, worth 56 million dollars.
