YAS Yacht – High-end $180M Superyacht
The YAS yacht is a 141-meter (463 ft) superyacht that was originally a Dutch navy ship before being converted into a luxury vessel.
The price of YAS is reported to lie close to US $180 million, and she is ranked in 11th place on the list of largest superyachts in the world.
YAS yacht interior
The interior of the YAS yacht was designed by Pierrejean, a French design, and architecture studio specializing in luxury aircraft and ship design.
The yacht can welcome up to 60 guests, which is impressive and rare in the superyacht industry. 56 crew members find space below the deck.
The interior of the yacht features glass elevators, a spa, a gym, and highly futuristic design elements.
The large glass dome at the front of the vessel houses the ownerâs suite, which has an oval shape and is completed by a round bed.
Of course, the YAS yacht has a state-of-the-art entertainment system and is furnished using only the most high-quality materials.
Specifications
YAS is a converted Dutch navy ship that was originally constructed in 1977 and served in the military for 20 years.
At the time, she was named HNLMS Piet Hein and only measured 135 meters (442 ft).
She was eventually sold to the UAE military, where she served until 2006 and converted into a superyacht at ADM Shipyards.
YAS has little resemblance with a warship today, but she has kept her agility and speed. Despite her size, she can reach top speeds of 30 knots and sails comfortably at average speeds of 25 knots.
She was a beam of 14.4 meters (47.3 ft) and a draft of 4.75 meters (15.7 ft). Her total weight lies at 5,002 tons which can be attributed to her impressive steel hull.
She was recently refitted in Germany and relaunched in 2021.
YAS is an unusual yacht in many ways. Both her interior and exterior were designed by the French studio Pierrejean and she is said to have been modeled to resemble a dolphin with her immense glass superstructure.
She is a very long yacht with an aerodynamic shape that allows her to retain speed while still looking elegant and luxurious.
YAS has a helipad, spacious storage for water toys, and, of course, several pools on board for the enjoyment of the guests.
The original price for YAS is estimated to lie close to US $180 million, although she has since been refit which suggests that her current value might lie closer to US $200 million.

Inside an $35 Million Art Deco Superyacht Reportedly Owned by a Prince
By Katherine McLaughlin
For $35 million, you can own a piece of royal history. This superyachtâs most recent owner, r eportedly the Crown Prince of Dubai , Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed Al Maktoum, recently listed the floating palace for sale through Worth Avenue Yachts .Â
The ship has plenty of room for outdoor living.
Named Dubawi the vessel was built in 1989 by Cantiere Navale Ferrari. However, for the first half of its nautical life, it was used as a cruise ship. Once the current owner acquired it in 2009, the ship was renovated by Platinum Yachts into a private superyacht. Since undergoing a two-year, multimillion-dollar refit, the boat has notably only had one owner, a rare feature for a ship of this size and class. Because of this, few people other than those invited on board have been able to see the inside, making the boat one of the most private of its category.Â
Geometric decor is present throughout the yacht.Â
Sailing at more than 297 feet long, the massive vessel has 22 staterooms, can sleep 44 people, has a gross tonnage of 4,184, and a volume similar to that of 110-meter yacht. Itâs tremendous size leaves plenty of room for luxurious amenities, including a nightclub with a lighted dance floor, a guest lounge, two salons, an elevator, a fountain, a swimming platform, a hospital room, and a private ownerâs deck with 180-degree views and a jacuzzi.Â
The fully equipped nightclub is on the lower deck.Â
Though the yachtâs features are no doubt impressive, theyâre not necessarily unusual for a vessel of this category. However, the Art Deco interior design and decor of the space, full of rich purples, blues, greens, and oranges, is something you donât see everyday. In addition to the vibrant hues, the ship is also full of geometric patterns and stately furniture.Â
Purple motifs, often associated with royalty, are common throughout the yacht.Â
By Elizabeth Fazzare
The interiors were designed by Platinum Yachtâs in-house interior design team, who made use of a large selection of materials including marble, rare woods, mosaic tiling, and custom-made carpets.
The boat can sleep 44 people, and this dining area ensures thereâs room for all of them to eat.
And if the yachtâs layout isnât exactly what the new owner desires, there is plenty of square footage in both of the salons to rearrange the space to include new features like a game room or theater. Whether cosmetic upgrades happen or not, the ship underwent various maintenance checks before being put on the market to ensure itâs smooth sailing when handed over to the whoever acquires it next.Â
The space is truly fit for royalty.Â

- Follow us on
Published: Wed 9 Mar 2022, 11:07 PM
His Highness Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai and Chairman of The Executive Council of Dubai, today opened the Dubai International Boat Show 2022.
Speaking at the opening event, Sheikh Hamdan said the event is one of the worldâs top three most influential international yacht shows, which reflects Dubaiâs status as a prominent global maritime destination.
He further said the rapid development of Dubaiâs maritime infrastructure reflects the vision of the emirateâs leadership to ensure the highest standards of global excellence and transform Dubai into an influential player in major international industries.
Sheikh Hamdan toured the five-day eventâs new venue at Dubai Harbour accompanied by Sheikh Mansoor bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Chairman of the Dubai Sports Council, and Sheikh Saeed bin Ahmed bin Khalifa Al Maktoum, Executive Director of the Dubai Maritime City Authority.
Featuring more than 800 brands, the 28th edition of the Middle Eastâs nautical showpiece, which is reuniting the industry after a sustained period apart, is set to have a positive impact on growth and investment in the global maritime sector. It also promises to demonstrate Dubai Harbourâs capabilities as a dedicated superyacht marina and strengthen the emirateâs reputation as a world-class maritime destination.
Sheikh Hamdan was also accompanied by Helal Saeed Al Marri, Director General of Dubai's Department of Economy and Tourism and Dubai World Trade Centre Authority, Saeed Mohammed Hareb, Secretary General of the Dubai Sports Council, and a number of senior officials.

U.S. Eyes $156 Million Yacht in Dubai Linked to a Russian Oligarch
The U.S. Justice Department is taking steps to seize the Madame Gu, a 324-foot luxury yacht, but it will be diplomatically thorny.
- Share full article
By Kate Kelly , Michael Forsythe and Julian E. Barnes
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates â On a clear morning in late October, the jewel-blue hull of the Madame Gu, one of the worldâs most luxurious superyachts, gleamed, its aluminum rails shimmering in the sun. Workers on the pier said they had recently seen people painting, cleaning and generally keeping the ship with its helipad and six guest staterooms in pristine condition.
In past years, such a scene would not have been noteworthy. Many superyachts come and go from Dubaiâs Mina Rashid Marina, best known as the home of the Queen Elizabeth 2, the trans-Atlantic ocean liner-turned-hotel that dominates the waterfront here.
But Russiaâs war in Ukraine has turned an otherwise routine tableau into a diplomatic battleground between the United States and the United Arab Emirates, an important American ally that has established itself as a safe haven for Russian money and assets out of the reach of U.S. sanctions.
The $156 million Madame Gu epitomizes the problem. In June, the United States designated the vessel, which is linked to Andrei Skoch, a Russian steel magnate and lawmaker under sanctions, as blocked property. That means the yacht cannot use American companies for its upkeep, employ U.S. citizens or even use the dollar. The Justice Department is now taking steps to seize the Madame Gu, according to people with knowledge of the plan.
But the United States canât seize property in a sovereign nation without permission from its government. The Emirates, which has taken a friendlier position toward Moscow, is balking at cooperating with the United States to pursue oligarchs, American officials said. The Kremlin is also using oligarch-controlled companies in the Emirates to acquire war supplies that the West is trying to keep out of Russiaâs reach, according to a Western official involved in the sanctions effort against Russia.
Emirati officials did not comment specifically on the Madame Gu but said in a statement that they took their role âprotecting the integrity of the global financial system extremely seriously.â
A closer examination of Russian assets in the Emirates shows that even before the war in Ukraine, Dubai had become a playground for Russians with links to President Vladimir V. Putin. At least 38 businessmen or officials with ties to the Russian president own homes in Dubai that are collectively valued at more than $314 million, according to the Center for Advanced Defense Studies. Five of those owners are under U.S. sanctions.
Since the Russian invasion, Dubai has established itself as a safe haven for Russian yachts and aircraft unable to sail or fly elsewhere. After Russian jets were barred from the European Union in late February, the Emirates became the destination for 14 percent of all private flights leaving Russia, up from 3 percent before the invasion.
âItâs frustrating when you see huge assets that are sitting out there and it appears that the country is not cooperating,â said Senator Sheldon Whitehouse, Democrat of Rhode Island, referring to the Emirates. âIt would be nice if there were more common cause against Putin while heâs busy shelling hospitals and schools.â
Mr. Whitehouse is sponsoring legislation that would use proceeds of the sales of seized Russian assets to help rebuild Ukraine. Senior officials at the Treasury and State Departments have also complained publicly about the situation.
U.S. officials view the presence of superyachts in places like Dubai and Bodrum, Turkey , as a symptom of wider Russian circumvention of sanctions and continued access to financial markets. Yachts have also come to symbolize the decadence of Russiaâs oligarchs, especially at a time when Russian soldiers are scrounging for body armor and sleeping bags on the front lines.
Pursuing the Madame Gu
Built by the Dutch firm Feadship and put into service in 2013, the Madame Gu has a large helicopter pad on its forecastle with a hangar underneath that can double as a squash court when the chopper isnât on board. The vessel has berthing for 36 crew members, according to one trade magazine.
Mr. Skoch, a member of Russiaâs Parliament who is linked to assets worth billions of dollars, according to U.S. court filings, has had sanctions imposed on him twice by the United States, first in 2018 and then after Russiaâs invasion this year. The Treasury Department has cited his âlongstanding ties to Russian organized criminal groups.â
Mr. Skoch could not be reached and did not respond to messages left at his office at Parliament.
In an interview in October about the governmentâs broader efforts to go after the assets of oligarchs, Andrew Adams, a federal prosecutor leading the Department of Justiceâs KleptoCapture task force, declined to discuss the Madame Gu. But the United States, he said, is warning companies they must not do business with individuals and assets under sanctions. The government, he said, will pursue oligarch-owned assets whose sale could be used to aid Ukraine.
âWhere we know there is an asset that can potentially provide significant remuneration for Ukraine, that obviously is an attractive case to pursue,â he said.
U.S. officials are likely to use the case they made for impounding a $90 million Airbus business jet linked to Mr. Skoch in August as a blueprint for seizing the Madame Gu, said people familiar with the plan.
That means investigators will aim to show that the owner of the vessel, or the companies that have been providing services to it, have intersected with the U.S. financial system.
âIf there are U.S. dollars or a U.S. nexus associated with supporting this vessel, massive enforcement actions could take place,â said Adam M. Smith, a former official overseeing sanctions at the Treasury Department. Companies that provide support to entities under sanctions could potentially face their own sanctions, said Mr. Smith, who is now a lawyer at Gibson Dunn in Washington.
This year the United States has carried out two high-profile seizures of yachts tied to Russians under sanctions, working with cooperative governments. The $300 million Amadea was taken in Fiji in May and sailed to San Diego under an American flag. In April, the United States worked with Spanish police to seize the $90 million Tango.
A Problematic Partner
Diplomatically, the Emirates has been reluctant to take a clear anti-Russian position when it comes to the war in Ukraine. Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, president of the United Arab Emirates, recently met with Mr. Putin in St. Petersburg, and the Emirati foreign minister recently hosted his Russian counterpart. Yet Sheikh Mohammed has also talked with Volodymyr Zelensky, the president of Ukraine, more than once and recently gave the country $100 million in humanitarian aid.
The United States has publicly expressed dismay over the mixed messages.
During a visit to Dubai in June, Wally Adeyemo, the U.S. deputy treasury secretary, warned of the need for vigilance and proactive steps in combating Russian evasion. That same month Barbara Leaf, the State Departmentâs under secretary for Near East Affairs, said at a congressional hearing that regarding the Emirates, she was ânot happy at all with the record at this pointâ on sanctions enforcement. Mr. Adeyemo reiterated his concerns in a meeting with Emirati officials in October in Washington.
A senior State Department official said in a statement to The New York Times that the agency continues âto reinforce the importance of conducting enhanced due diligence to prevent sanctions evasion and investigating allegations of such activityâ to the Emirates.
The Treasury Department declined to comment on the Madame Gu or the relationship with the Emirates.
Last month, the Treasury Department announced it had placed sanctions on an Emirates-based company, Constellation Advisors Ltd., that the American government said was operating on behalf of a nephew of another Russian oligarch, Suleiman Kerimov. Mr. Kerimov, according to American court documents, was the owner of the Amadea superyacht .
American officials are also worried the Russian government is using the Emirates to acquire military supplies for its war in Ukraine. On Nov. 15, the Treasury Department imposed sanctions on two Emirates-based transportation firms that had worked with another Iranian firm under sanctions, which in turn had helped transport drones and personnel from Iran to Russia.
Moored in Dubai
Based on a recent visit to Dubaiâs Mina Rashid Marina , where the Madame Gu is moored, it is clear that international companies are playing a critical role in its care.
The Emirates-based company DP World, through its subsidiary P&O Marinas , oversees the pier where the Madame Gu is moored. Employees from another DP World subsidiary , World Security, staff the small guard box at the entrance. That makes DP World, which is owned by Dubaiâs royal family, potentially vulnerable to American sanctions.
DP World âfully complies with all applicable local and national laws and intends to continue doing the same regarding the Madame Gu and other vessels utilizing our services,â said Adal Mirza, a spokesman for the company. He added that DP World had not yet heard from the United States or other countries that had placed Mr. Skoch under sanctions, including Britain and the European Union.
A generator set that dock workers said in late October was powering the Madame Gu â two container-like structures near its stern â bore the distinctive orange logo of Aggreko , a British company. The generator set was connected to the superyacht by thick cords; one of the containers was emitting grayish exhaust.
At the Mina Rashid Marina, soon after Aggreko was contacted by The Times, workers removed the generator. âHaving identified that the generator was being used to power a vessel that is allegedly connected to a sanctioned person, we immediately terminated this rental and have since recovered the generator,â the company said in a statement.
Mr. Mirza, the DP World spokesman, said the Aggreko generator had been replaced with one from a local supplier.
P&O Marinas arranged for the diesel generator to provide power for the Madame Gu because that part of the pier, a holding area, has no shore-supplied electric power, said a port official in Dubai, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because he is not authorized to talk to the press.
âAt the end of the day, if the U.A.E. hasnât imposed sanctions, itâs not really their job to enforce other countriesâ laws within their borders,â said Nabeel Yousef, a Washington-based partner at the law firm Freshfields, where he runs the sanctions practice. Nevertheless, âcompanies should not take comfort in the fact that their country has not imposed sanctions,â he added, âbecause even the smallest connection to the U.S. can lead to U.S. penalties.â
There has also been a notable absence onboard the Madame Gu in recent weeks: a flag. Unlike other ships moored nearby, including the Quantum Blue, a superyacht linked to the billionaire Sergei Galitsky, the Madame Gu appears to be stateless, apparently having been deflagged by the Cayman Islands.
Cayman Islands officials didnât respond to an emailed inquiry about the shipâs status.
If DP World were to face fallout from U.S. sanctions enforcers, it wouldnât be the first time the company has been the focus of attention in Washington. In 2006, DP World was seeking to manage some terminal operations at six American ports but dropped out of the deal after a bipartisan uproar in Congress.

Symbolism or Strategy?: Ukrainians say that defending places with little strategic value is worth the cost in casualties and weapons , because the attacking Russians pay an even higher price. American officials arenât so sure.
Elaborate Tales: As the Ukraine war grinds on, the Kremlin has created increasingly complex fabrications online  to discredit Ukraineâs leader, Volodymyr Zelensky, and undermine the countryâs support in the West.
Targeting Russiaâs Oil Industry: With its army short of ammunition and troops to break the deadlock on the battlefield, Kyiv has increasingly taken the fight beyond the Ukrainian border, attacking oil infrastructure deep in Russian territory .
