Roman Abramovich certainly doesn’t do things in halves.
The £10 billion Chelsea owner is overseeing the development of his latest game, Solaris – a luxury yacht that promises to be the world’s most powerful yacht.

The 55-year-old Russian, who has faced calls to be banned from owning Chelsea and his £152m home amid Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, should love traveling by sea.
He had his own private navy of yachts – with Sunsport believing that Solaris is his own eighth over the years.
Another yacht nearing completion, it cost £430 million to build.
It’s a 460-foot-high sea monster, boasting eight floors, as well as a helipad.
The yacht is being built at the Lloyd Werft shipyard in Bremerhaven, Germany and the shed being built is larger than Buckingham Palace.
Solaris will have 48 cabins with a capacity of 36 passengers and a crew of 60 passengers in addition to it will have two advanced engines to be the most powerful yacht in the world.

eclipse
Roman’s current luxury yacht, the Eclipse – with all the work that has been done for it – is said to be now worth £1 billion.
Built in 2010, completely rebuilt in 2015 to meet the high-spec needs of billionaires.
Incredibly, the 553-foot Eclipse has its own missile defense system — just in case it gets under attack.
There are 24 guest cabins, two swimming pools, hot tubs, a sauna, and even a nightclub.
It also boasts an extension A cinema, a meeting room, a children’s playroom, a hairdressing salon, and a small submarine that can dive to a depth of 50 metres. Yes, this is correct. It is a yacht with its own submarine.

Le Grand Blue
Worth £135 million, Le Grand Bleu was once Romain’s pride and happiness.
Twenty guests can stay in luxury on board and enjoy many amenities.
Surprisingly, as with these yachts, there are more boats on board.
In addition to the 73-foot-high sailboat, guests can also enjoy taking a 68-foot speedboat for a spin. There are two other boats in her indoor garage above that.
It is now owned by Abramovich’s friend Eugene Shvidler.

Susuru
Currently available to buy for £16m, Sosoro is now over 20 years old.
Built by Feadship, it is over 163 feet long and features six luxurious cabins that can sleep 12 guests.
Rarely used, it has been reported that Sosoro was given to Roman’s ex-wife, Irina Malandina, as part of a divorce settlement.
With 15,000 combined horsepower, it is capable of reaching speeds of up to 46 knots.

ECSTASEA
Valued at around £110m, the Ecstasea remains one of the fastest superyachts around the world – with 43,000 horsepower and 282 ft.
Abramovich had been the original owner since 2004, before it was sold to Pakistani businessman poet Fayyad in 2009.
The ballroom seats 14, can be staffed by a crew of 25, and is accessible by helicopter, which can park on one of the two helipads.
Ecstasea sustained damage in 2019 when the Simpson Bay Bridge on the Caribbean island of Saint Martins snapped.

pilors
That’s what you get for £270m.
Built in 2003, the 377-foot Peloros was briefly owned by a Saudi businessman before Abramovich laid it out in 2004.
A year later, he loaned it to Chelsea legends John Terry and Frank Lampard for two weeks as a reward for helping the club win the first league for Roman as owner.
Then, in 2007, Terry and his wife, Tony, were allowed to enjoy their honeymoon on the ship.
However, it was also reported to have been handed over to Irina in a divorce settlement, who sold it to American film director David Geffen in 2011.

Luna
Currently the second largest exploration yacht in the world, the Luna was delivered to the Roman in 2010.
It features 10 VIP cabins, each of 100 square meters, as well as a 20-meter outdoor pool.
Like the Eclipse, it also has an anti-missile system, as well as bulletproof windows.
In 2014, it was sold to Azerbaijani billionaire Farkhad Akhmedov for 210 million pounds.
