Who's Paying for Russian Oligarch's Seized Yacht in San Diego Bay?

The amadea, which superyachttimes.com called the 63rd largest yacht in the world, tied up monday at naval base san diego, in national city, by eric s. page and mari payton • published june 28, 2022 • updated on june 28, 2022 at 2:11 pm.

Many San Diegans who saw the news about the Amadea — the $325 million seized Russian oligarch's yacht that docked in San Diego on Monday — may be wondering: Who's paying for that?

Imagine how much the fuel costs to sail it more than 5,000 miles from Fiji, where it was seized earlier this month, to San Diego? A local marine fuel dock quoted the following prices, if you're wondering: $7.40 for gas, $7.35 for diesel. According to SuperYachtTimes.com, the Amadea has a 392,000-liter fuel tank. That works out to about 103,555 gallons, so it could cost $766,307 or so just to fill up.

And then there are maintence costs on a 350-foot long yacht, which, you can be sure, are extensive and necessary — in fact, not undertaking such efforts can cause the vessel's value to decline if it deteriotes due to neglect.

The Amadea carries a full complement of 36 crew, including the captain, according to SuperYachtTimes, but it won't need nearly that many once she tied up at Naval Base San Diego in National City. Nevertheless, someone will be monitoring the yacht and conducting the maintenance.

According to the U.S. Department of Justice, the yacht was bought with what it calls "dirty money," and, as such, some may be relieved to hear, will be sold to the highest bidder. Presumably, the associated post-seizure costs accrued after its seizure will be coming off the top of the sale price. Until then, the Amadea, which SuperYachtTimes called the 63rd larges yacht in the world, will resume in the custody of the U.S.

Officials with the DOJ said the Amadea, which was seized in connection to the department's KleptoCapture campaign undertaken in the wake of the invasion of Ukraine by Russia, was owned by Suleiman Kerimov a Russian billionaire.

After the yacht arrived in San Diego, John Kirby, a former federal prosecutor, told NBC 7 that he thinks the U.S. government hopes moves like the Amadea's seizure are efforts to apply pressure to Russian president Vladimir Putin.

Earlier this month, Deputy U.S. Attorney General Lisa O. Monaco said, regarding the Amadea, “The department had its eyes on every yacht purchased with dirty money. This yacht seizure should tell every corrupt Russian oligarch that they cannot hide — not even in the remotest part of the world. We will use every means of enforcing the sanctions imposed in response to Russia’s unprovoked and unjustified war in Ukraine.”

The court ruling represented a significant victory for the U.S. as it encounters obstacles in its attempts to seize the assets of Russian oligarchs around the world. While those efforts are welcomed by many who oppose the war in Ukraine, some actions have tested the limits of American jurisdiction abroad.

The United States wasted no time in taking command of the after a Fiji court ruled in its favor and sailed the ship away from the South Pacific nation just hours after the ruling.

"If you could say or somehow prove that this boat … that the oligarch had the money for this boat because he bribed Vladimir Putin, that is public corruption," Kirby said. "It’s a crime even when it takes place outside the United States. The United States can still act upon it."

According the website, the Amadea is not currently for sale, but that may soon change. Until then, you can "shop" for other eye-popping, wallet-busting boats here .

World’s Largest Yachts in San Diego

Location: Downtown San Diego (North Embarcadero)

When: Varies Throughout the Year

Cost: Free To Look

Features: The Most Luxurious Mega Yachts in the World

San Diego Mega Yacht Highlights: Only a few places in America can host the largest yachts in the world. San Diego became one of those few places in 2008.

Mega Yacht "ICE" in San Diego Bay

Located right on the walkway of one of the most beautiful harbors in the world and just north of the San Diego Maritime Museum , visitors can peer into the lives of the Rich and Famous.

The San Diego Mooring Company can host up to eight luxury yachts at a time. Yachts ranging from 100 feet – 400 feet will dock perpendicular to the walkway along the North Embarcadero. This is known as the Mediterranean Style of Mooring rather than the more traditional style of parking a yacht parallel to a boat dock.

The first two big yachts in San Diego Bay were the 252 foot Princess Mariana, owned by a Mexican billionaire Carlos Peralta Quintero and the 295 foot ICE , owned by a Russian billionaire and politician Suleyman Kerimov.

What to Expect

• Yachts will generally stay in port a week or longer. (If you see a mega yacht in San Diego, be sure to let the rest of us know in the ‘recommendation’ section below.)
• Bring your camera to take a picture of these beautiful luxury yachts that few people in the world will ever get to see with their own eyes.
• Keep your eyes out for a helicopter on board since owners often ‘catch-up’ to their ships once their crews have moored the yacht in San Diego.
• The yachts pull right up within a few feet of the sidewalk, where there is plenty of space to stand or sit and imagine what it would be like to enjoy life in the lap of luxury.

Luxury Yacht Owners and Crew – The San Diego Mooring Company offers a web site dedicated to those who want more information on mooring their Mega Yachts in San Diego. You can also call (619) 291-0916.

Luxury Yacht Sightseers – If you see a mega yacht in San Diego, jot down the name of the boat and look it up on monacoeye.com . Then, be sure to let the rest of us know in the ‘recommendation’ section below.

Information on Viewing the Most Luxurious Ships in the World

Directions from Google Maps to 1820 North Harbor Drive in San Diego, CA 92101.

Parking – There is Metered Street Parking in front of the mega yacht location that runs about $1.25 per hour with a limit of 2 – 3 hours.

The Life of a Fisherman

An American businessman was at the pier of a small coastal Mexican village when a small boat with just one fisherman docked. Inside the small boat were several large yellowfin tuna. The American complimented the Mexican on the quality of his fish and asked how long it took to catch them. The Mexican replied only a little while. The American then asked why didn't he stay out longer and catch more fish? The Mexican said he had enough to support his family's immediate needs. The American then asked, but what do you do with the rest of your time? The Mexican fisherman said, "I sleep late, fish a little, play with my children, take siesta with my wife, Maria, stroll into the village each evening where I sip wine and play guitar with my amigos, I have a full and busy life, senor."

The American scoffed, "I am a Harvard MBA and could help you. You should spend more time fishing and with the proceeds, buy a bigger boat, then eventually you would have a fleet of fishing boats. Instead of selling your catch to a middleman you would sell directly to the processor, eventually opening your own cannery. You would control the product, processing and distribution. You would need to leave this small coastal fishing village and move to Mexico City, then LA and eventually NYC where you will run your expanding enterprise." The Mexican fisherman asked, "But senor, how long will this all take?" To which the American replied, "15-20 years."

But what then, senor? The American laughed and said that's the best part. When the time is right you would announce an IPO and sell your company stock to the public and become very rich, you would make millions. Millions, senor? Then what? The American said, "Then you would retire. Move to a small coastal fishing village where you would sleep late, fish a little, play with your kids, take siesta with your wife, stroll to the village in the evenings where you could sip wine and play your guitar with your amigos."

When guests stay at the property, they check out how quiet the room is, how friendly the staff is, and more.

55' Hatteras out of Mission Bay

Call/text 619.508.7823 or live chat ..

Check Availability & Book Online

Our vessel for hire is a 55 foot Hatteras bluewater fishing yacht. This large-displacement V Hull design provides a very stable and safe ride.

3 custom built bait tanks with a 16 scoop capacity.

Full electronics including state of the art side-scanning sonar.

3 state rooms (sleeps 6).

2 full bathrooms.

Comfortable galley/lounge with kitchen table, TV and DVD player.

1,000 mile range.

30′ High Tuna Tower.

2 independent stereo systems

Having side scan sonar is a game changer. What it means is that you can not only see fish below you, but to the sides of you as well. This gives you an unfair advantage when sportfishing. You can check kelp patties for fish just by driving by them. 

The other advantage of this vessel is lots of bait. The huge bait tanks will keep enough bait alive for even the longest multiday trips, and allow you to unload bait on top of the fish when you find them.

Couple this with the very roomy back deck, spacious interior, and huge bedrooms, and you have yourself a capable, well-equipped, fishing charter yacht.

All private charter includes Snacks, Water, Soda, Coffee, and Snacks. Any private charter 10+ hours includes one meal for every 8 hours on board.

Available Trips

(From 9 Hours to 3 days)

3/4 Day (9 Hours)

Full Day (12 hours)

1 Day (24 Hours)  

Multi-day Trips

Target Species

BLUEFIN TUNA

Arguably the best fighting fish for its weight, and they can get up to 300 pounds each!

YELLOWFIN TUNA

Although smaller than the Bluefin, this ferocious fish puts up a fight you will not soon forget.

This is the big one. If you hook up on this you will be in the fight of your life. These fish way hundreds of pounds!

 Call 619.508.7823 or LIVE CHAT .

Not technically a tuna, but in the same weight class, it  is known for the best tasting sashimi on earth.

The colorful skin of this fish is iridescent! It is also known for its high flying antics.

WHITE SEABASS

Growing quite large, a 40 lb. White Sea Bass will kick your... well... you know.
