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.

Sanctioned Russian oligarch’s megayacht hides in a UAE creek

RAS AL-KHAIMAH, United Arab Emirates (AP) — In the dusty, northern-most sheikhdom of the United Arab Emirates, where laborers cycle by rustic tea shops, one of the world’s largest yachts sits in a quiet port — so far avoiding the fate of other luxury vessels linked to sanctioned Russian oligarchs.

The display of lavish wealth is startling in one of the UAE’s poorest emirates, a 90-minute drive from the illuminated high-rises of Dubai. But the 118-meter (387-foot) Motor Yacht A’s presence in a Ras al-Khaimah creek also shows the UAE’s neutrality during Russia’s war on Ukraine as the Gulf country remains a magnet for Russian money and its oil-rich capital sees Moscow as a crucial OPEC partner .

Since Russian tanks rolled into Ukraine, the seven sheikhdoms of the Emirates have offered a refuge for Russians, both those despairing of their country’s future as well as the mega-wealthy concerned about Western sanctions .

While much of the world has piled sanctions on Russian institutions and allies of President Vladimir Putin, the Emirates has not. It also avoids overt criticism of the war, which government readouts still refer to as the “Ukraine crisis.”

The Motor Yacht A belongs to Andrey Melnichenko, an oligarch worth some $23.5 billion, according to Forbes. He once ran the fertilizer producer Eurochem and SUEK, one the the world’s largest coal companies.

The European Union in March included Melnichenko in a mass list of sanctions on business leaders and others described as close to Putin. The EU sanctions noted he attended a Feb. 24 meeting Putin held the day of the invasion.

“The fact that he was invited to attend this meeting shows that he is a member of the closest circle of Vladimir Putin and that he is supporting or implementing actions or policies which undermine or threaten the territorial integrity, sovereignty and independence of Ukraine, as well as stability and security in Ukraine,” the EU said at the time.

Melnichenko resigned from the corporate positions he held in the two major firms, according to statements from the companies. However, he has criticized Western sanctions and denied being close to Putin.

Melnichenko could not be reached for comment through his advisers.

Already, authorities in Italy have seized one of his ships — the $600 million Sailing Yacht A. France, Spain and Britain as well have sought to target superyachts tied to Russian oligarchs as part of a wider global effort to put pressure on Putin and those close to him.

But the $300 million Motor Yacht A so far appears untouched. It flew an Emirati flag on Tuesday when Associated Press journalists observed the ship. Two crew members milled around the deck.

The boat’s last recorded position on March 10 put it off the Maldives in the Indian Ocean, just over 3,000 kilometers (1,860 miles) from Ras al-Khaimah. Satellite images from Planet Labs PBC analyzed by the AP show the vessel in Ras al-Khaimah’s creek beginning March 17, a week later.

The Financial Times first reported on the ship’s presence in the UAE .

Authorities in Ras al-Khaimah did not respond to a request for comment on the yacht’s presence. The UAE’s Foreign Ministry did not answer questions about the ship, but said in a statement to the AP that it takes “its role in protecting the integrity of the global financial system extremely seriously.”

But so far, the UAE has taken no such public action targeting Russia. The country abstained on a U.N. Security Council vote in February condemning Russia’s invasion , angering Washington.

The neutral response may stem from “the financial gain we’re seeing in Dubai in terms of new tourist arrivals, and Russian efforts to move assets and buy property,” said Karen Young, a senior fellow at the Washington-based Middle East Institute.

The flow of Russian money — both legitimate and shady — is now an open secret in Dubai, where lavish hotels and beaches increasingly bustle with Russian speakers. State-run radio hosts cheerily describe a massive influx.

The UAE became one of the few remaining flight corridors out of Moscow. The Emirati government offered three-month multiple-entry visas upon arrival to all Russians, allowing major companies to easily transfer their employees from Moscow to Dubai. The private jet terminal at Al Maktoum International at Dubai World Central has seen a 400% spike in traffic, the airport’s CEO recently told the AP .

Real estate agents have reported a surge of interest from Russians seeking to buy property in Dubai , particularly in the skyscrapers of Dubai Marina and villas on the Palm Jumeirah.

For those who want to move to the UAE, buying high-end property also helps secure a visa.

“Business is booming right now,” said Thiago Caldas, CEO of the Dubai-based property firm Modern Living, which now accepts cryptocurrency to facilitate sales with new Russian clients. “They have a normal life and don’t face restrictions.”

Caldas said inquiries from Russian clients in Dubai have multiplied by over 10 since the war, forcing his firm to hire three Russian-speaking agents to deal with the deluge.

With sanctions on Russian banks and businesses thwarting many citizens’ access to foreign capital, Russians are increasingly trying to bypass bank transfers through digital currencies in Dubai, said two cryptocurrency traders in the city, where they’re able to liquidate large sums of cash.

“It’s a safe haven. … The inflow from Russian accounts skyrocketed 300% days after the war in Ukraine began,” said a Russian crypto trader in Dubai, who spoke like the other on condition of anonymity for fear of reprisals.

Meanwhile, Abu Dhabi’s Mubadala state investment company remains among the most active sovereign wealth funds in Russia, along with those of China and Qatar, according to calculations by Javier Capapé of IE University in Spain for the AP.

But pressure is growing. Late on Tuesday, the U.S. Embassy in Abu Dhabi posted a strongly worded video message in solidarity with Ukraine featuring local ambassadors from the world’s leading democracies as Russia’s foreign minister visits the region.

“We are united against Russia’s unjustifiable, unprovoked and illegal aggression,” said Ernst Peter Fischer, Germany’s ambassador to the UAE.

Beyond the Deal: Why Chartering a Private Jet Through XO Offers More Than Just Competitive Rates

“That’s potentially three days of travel for a single meeting,” says Leona Qi, President U.S. of Vista, the parent company of private aviation companies VistaJet and XO. “So, if this meeting nets you a million dollars, wouldn’t a private jet charter be a worthwhile investment to ensure you arrive on time, rested, focused and maximizing your time for other priorities?”

motor yacht unexpected

Specifically designed for the flexible private flyer, XO has revolutionized access to private aviation, making air travel more accessible, efficient, and transparent without the need to buy a private jet like a Phenom or a Gulfstream or commit to a long-term contract. With XO, Members receive the service and flexibility they need when traveling for business or pleasure.

“Flying through a smaller company often does not offer you trip protection or benefits,” says Qi, adding that XO Members enjoy loyalty credits with every flight and have a greater protection because of the company’s affiliation with Vista’s network and access to more than 2,400 safety-vetted jets ready to serve clients from anywhere in the world.

XO Reserve Members get priority access to the diverse Vista Members’ fleet of more than 300 aircraft, ranging from Challenger super-mid-size jets to ultra-long-range aircraft, such as the flagship Bombardier Global 7500, with 17 hours of flight time and room for up to 14 passengers and four crew members. XO Reserve Members also benefit from a dedicated team of aviation experts and recovery on bookings outside of peak days, when flying on the Vista Members’ fleet.

That network can prove invaluable when the unexpected happens, according to Qi. “Imagine you’re in Aspen, ready to head back to New York for work and your kids for school. You’re notified that the plane you chartered is broken down, and there’s no recovery available. Maybe the company you booked with only has a few planes. One is broken down, and the others are being used by the owners. Now you’re stuck in Aspen scrambling for accommodations with no guarantee of a flight back to New York, even the next day.”

Or, say you’ve planned a milestone birthday trip to St. Barth’s, spending weeks working with a broker to find the best deal on a private jet charter. You pay the fee but, on departure day, your plane is nowhere to be found. You discover that the owner decided to use it instead.

“Every charter flyer’s worst nightmare is arranging a big trip through a broker, and not having a team to support your travel when the unexpected arises,” Qi says. “I always tell clients who are chartering to fly through a reputable company like XO where you can have support through a dedicated team.”

XO flyers also benefit from personalized service, which includes a network of round-the-clock experts who are fluent in several languages (including Arabic, Spanish, French, Russian, and more) and available to help book flights, as well as monitor weather-related issues and potential itinerary changes. Members can also access exclusive hotel and resort benefits from XO’s portfolio of travel partners, as well as insider events and VIP invitations.

The XO team is skilled at handling complicated travel requests, such as accommodations for multiple locations, remote destinations, large groups, and sensitive cargo, from surfboards to exotic pets. Once you book your flight, XO begins building a personalized client profile to gather your preferences, from aircraft type to ground transportation. That allows the company to deliver the best of both worlds: personalization and privacy. Chartering a private jet means no tracked tail numbers and complete confidentiality.

This seamless service enables XO flyers to travel with ease. Business travelers know that time is money, and that inconvenient connections and long layovers can be costly. Flying with XO maximizes time by traveling directly to locations that would often require connecting flights, layovers, and overnight stays.

With XO, private air travel has never been easier.

5 best water activities in moscow.

5 BEST water activities in Moscow

1. SUP ( standup paddleboarding)

One of the most popular and accessible water activities that does not require special skill or preparation. Just grabbing a board and a paddle and you can glide along the water surface, taking in picturesque landscapes. In Moscow, you can now go SUP surfing (with or without an instructor) in many places and almost everywhere with big water.

You can try out 'SUP SPOT' in the Stroginskaya floodplain (there, you can even do some SUP yoga!) or check out a few SUP points in Serebryany Bor; you'll also find SUP surfing spots on the Moskva River near the center, as well as at Krylatskoe, Beloye Lake and Borisovskie ponds.

2. Wakeboarding & Wakesurfing

Mikhail Pochuyev/TASS

Have you already learned how to distinguish between these two activities? If not, it's time! In wakeboarding your feet are fastened to the board, just like with snowboarding, while, with wakesurfing, you have to get on the board again every time, but it does give you more maneuverability. In both cases, the rider is pulled by a boat.

Today, you can go wakeboarding (and, in some places, also waterskiing) in many places in Moscow. Among them are 'RiverClubSurf' near the 'Alye Parusa' apartment building complex, 'Wake People' near 'Tushinskaya' subway station, 'Wake Club Wakeforia' near Shchukinskaya subway station, 'WakeDivision' in Serebryany Bor, 'Waketeam' on Khimki Reservoir or, for example, 'Wakestyle' in Krylatskoe District.

3. Flyboarding

Artyom Geodakyan/TASS

This is considered one of the most spectacular water activities. When a person takes off over the water surface like Superman and powerful water currents keep them in the air. At the same time, the athlete also makes pirouettes - it is impossible to take your eyes off it. And, it turns out that everyone (who weighs from 40 kg to 120 kg) can master flyboarding.

For a thrill, head to 'Moswake' on the Moscow Canal, 'Flyboard' in Serebryany Bor, 'Flyboard Sports and Entertainment Center' in Strogino or 'Flyboard School' at the 'Royal Bar' beach club near the Vodny Stadion subway station.

4. Windsurfing

Riding with a sail on a board does not require expensive equipment such as a yacht or a boat. And it is not so difficult to learn! You just need to catch the breeze, control the sail and you are already sailing on the water surface.

You can try your hand at it at the 'School of Wind' in Strogino (there, you can also learn how to kitesurf) and at the water sports center on Beloye Lake.

Sergei Bobylev/TASS

More and more dreamers want to learn to sail every year, it seems. It is also a great kind of socializing, because you not only learn yachting skills, but also communicate with a team, find new friends and participate in regattas. And you can do it all without leaving Moscow.

Today, there are several sailing schools in the city. For example, the Strogino water sports center, 'Soho Sailing Style' in Zhivopisnaya Bay and the 'Sailing School' of the 'Kosinsky Marine Club' at Beloye Lake.
