NOTE to U.S. Customs & Border Protection

NOTE TO U.S. CUSTOMS & BORDER PROTECTION

Due to the international and fluid nature of the yachting business and the fact there is no global central industry listing service to which all charter yachts subscribe it is impossible to ascertain a truly up-to-date view of the market. We are 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 clear if they are still for charter. Whilst we use our best endeavors to maintain accurate information, the existence of a listing on this website should in no way supersede official documentation supplied by representatives of a yacht.

(built as Northern Star)

Shaped with the idea of extended voyages in both northern and southern hemispheres, Polar Star requires fewer stops in ports than comparable vessels. With her ICE class, she can operate in much colder climates than the usual, popular cruising areas and explore the vast reaches of even the poles. Espen Øino International designed the 63-meter yacht along traditional lines, with engineering to exacting technical standards when delivered in 2005. Her original interior design by Pauline Nunns reflected a rustic, country-house style with the ambience of a traditional motor yacht ambience. Large open areas for entertainment and relaxation feature hand-painted murals and antiques. She underwent an extensive interior refit in 2017 to create a more modern, oceanic environment.

Motor Yacht

The 63.4m Lürssen Polar Star will impress anyone who steps onboard: her charming restyled interior décor and redesigned layout are destined to stand the test of time. She combines to perfection outstanding ocean-going abilities with the interior beauty of classic shapes, light colors and materials worthy of a luxury superyacht.

Refitting is one of the most interesting sides of our work: reinterpreting the style of a boat is exciting yet challenging. We believe in harmony between a person and their home or, in this case, superyacht. It is no secret that sometimes this harmony is lost, possibly due to dated interiors or because of the changing lifestyle and taste of the Owner. This is what happened with MY Polar Star. We accepted the challenge to recreate the unique shape of this 63-meter yacht.

The Polar Star was built by Lürssen in 2005 and the exteriors were designed by Espen Oeino, who incorporated the traditional style of an explorer vessel into the strong, sleek lines of a modern yacht. Master Yachts managed and organized the work.

Years later, this vessel underwent a comprehensive refit by FM Architettura d’Interni from January to July 2016. Our team was responsible for both the exterior furniture and interior design.

NOT AVAILABLE FOR CHARTER

Motor yacht POLAR STAR is a Lurssen built 208' (63.40 m) superyacht which was launched in 2005 and designed by Espen Oeino. POLAR STAR has an imposing six levels of interior and exterior deck space. The yacht accommodates up to 12 guests in 6 suites. She is a full displacement steel hulled explorer ship which provides her guests with fantastic stability and safety, powerful presence and graceful styling. In her interior, however, the yacht also shows a tranquil ambience of sumptuous decadence and elegant poise as created by interior designer Pauline Nunn. Lurssen Yachts of Germany, one of the most celebrated builders of quality superyachts, has created an impressive yacht in every measure and Polar Star is coveted by many who are lucky enough to have seen her pull into port.

NOTABLE FEATURES: ~ Capable of navigating any ocean ~ Outdoor dining area ~ Spacious outdoor areas ~ Stunning interior decor ~ Gym ~ Cinema ~ Office ~ Massage room ~ Swim platform ~ Vast selection of water toys

POLAR STAR has an imposing presence being a one of a kind expedition motor yacht. This is provided by her ample beam 42' (12.80 m) and huge volume (the real measure of a yacht’s size) which also creates an enormous interior living space. Accordingly, she can accommodate 12 guests in complete spacious comfort with six independent staterooms (4 doubles and two twins), all with ensuite bathrooms. Her full ice class steel hull, with aluminium superstructure, means strength and safety at sea in even trying conditions and the ability to explore the world’s more remote and natural wildernesses.

There are a deck spa pool and Sauna on board. The guest Staterooms are situated up, on her main deck, rather than below decks, affording extra natural light and splendid ocean views. The Owner’s Area has a stateroom, a den and a ‘his and hers’ bathroom. Also, the owner area features a private deck which enables panoramic views forward and on both sides of the yacht and through huge windows. The spa pool is on the owner's deck, to aft, and it holds up to 10 bathers.

Polar Star yacht is about experiencing oceanographic and coastal delights in uncompromising comfort. The superyacht brings capacious outdoor decks aft, forward and also on the Sundeck making for the ideal interaction with the natural environment. These areas provide ample seating for entertaining, open-air dining or lounging and also there are numerous easy access ‘day head’ bathrooms and showers at hand.

Luxury yacht Polar Star's ice class hull allows access to all the world's oceans, including some areas in the Arctic and Antarctic which have been till recently outside the scope of private yachts. A preference for cruising remote and unfashionable cruising regions explains the fact that the Crew Accommodation Area (seven cabins in all, plus crew lounge) is located centrally rather than in the crew's traditional place way up forward, where the ship's motion underway offers no respite from the violence of heavy seas. For ease of access by chef and assistants, the ship's galley is located on the same deck as the crew cabins.

POLAR STAR Specifications

There is a tank Deck which has a generous storage space, industrial grade freezer and refrigeration rooms and laundry room, chill room and garbage storage compartment – all necessary for long range and remote exploratory cruising. She has a high-quality bi-level engine room with control room and large machinery compartments. Her stern garage holds water toys and marine equipment like jet skis, wave runners, and kayaks as well as adjacent compartments for fishing gear. A custom built dive compressor can charge five tanks simultaneously. The yacht also has a gym, at anchor zero speed stabilizers, a 30' Naiad tender Inflatable and a 30' Centre Console tender with twin outboards.

An extensive refit in 2011 with upgraded AV and IT system, outdoor cinema on the sundeck; new upholstered furniture, new carpets, in addition to new Yamaha Wave runners and toys and increased stabilizer size for 40% better stability at anchor. Boasting magnificent deck spaces and a super friendly and efficient crew, Polar Star is truly an amazing and one-of-a-kind vessel!

Yacht Accommodation

Sleeps 12 guests in 6 ensuite Staterooms, including owner suite area. She has Six levels of interior and exterior deck space and a massive interior volume for common rooms.

"I once had a client who told me, “I will put your name on the side of my boat if it’s good, but if the boat is not good, your name will appear three times as big.” We were brought up with the sense that it is a very personal obligation for the family when we sign a contract to deliver a yacht that the client expects. I cannot go to a client and say “One of my guys made a mistake.” He would say “Is he Mr. Lürssen, or are you Mr. Lürssen?” But a successful delivery is also a great reward. I take the relationships of my clients very personally." - Peter Lürssen of Lürssen Yachts (courtesy SuperYachtTimes)

POLAR STAR Specifications

Completed Lurssen Yacht POLAR STAR

Originally built for the owner one of the largest commercial fishing fleets in the world, the 208′ (63.4m) Lurssen POLAR STAR is full Lloyd’s Ice Class as the owner envisioned cruising around all of the world’s oceans.

The owner originally intended to build the yacht at a commercial shipyard in Eastern Europe. It was only after he meeting Robert Moran, and being convinced that the true value of a yacht could only be achieved by building her at a quality shipyard, that he decided to build her at Lurssen.

In the owner’s own words, “I would not build a yacht without the involvement of Moran Yacht & Ship even though I have a huge amount of naval architects that work for me on a daily basis.” As proof, Moran Yacht & Ship already built his new vessel, NORTHERN STAR.

Moran Yacht & Ship negotiated the build contract for POLAR STAR, wrote the technical specifications and managed the entire build process for the vessel. Our team was by the owner’s side from concept well through completion.

PRESENTING POLAR STAR

German shipyard Lurssen Yachts is known for building the largest yachts, and motor yacht POLAR STAR is a shining example of that heritage. This German-built superyacht is actually an ice-classed expedition vessel, but don’t let that fool you. Traditional luxury touches are abundant onboard Lurssen yacht POLAR STAR, and this mighty steel-hulled vessel is just as suitable for cruising the Mediterranean as the Antarctic.

As with many Lurssen vessels, M/Y POLAR STAR features an exterior design by Espen Oeino, with interiors by Pauline Nunns. Whereas most yachts of this size have four decks, the 208-foot yacht is composed of six levels, resulting in spacious areas both topside and belowdecks, for total guest comfort. Large entertainment areas on the outdoor decks both forward and aft are designed for alfresco dining and lounging in sun or shade. Active guests can use the bridge deck gym, then soak sore muscles in the adjacent 10 person spa-pool, or relax at the wet bar.

Decorations are by Serena Williams-Ellis. They evoke a theme best described as a country-French house, with fireplace, antiques, and hand-painted murals. There are six cabins for charterers, including an owner’s suite, VIP cabin; two King staterooms; and two twin cabins. The owner’s suite is located on the upper deck, and it offers a den, his and her bathrooms, and panoramic views. While most yachts position the guest cabins on a lower deck, this yacht’s guest staterooms are located on the main deck.

In a further unique twist, the VIP cabin is located on the lower deck, for total privacy.

The yacht has two Caterpillar 3512B engines.  She reaches a top speed of 15 knots. Important to note, the yacht boasts an astonishing range of 6,000 nautical miles at a speed of 12 knots.

WATER SPORTS TOYS

A large inventory of water toys is available for non-stop activities and entertainment. Some of the toys include tenders, jet skis, wave runners, kayaks, dive equipment for certified divers, and assorted fishing equipment. Look for this yacht in the Mediterranean in summer and in service as a St. Martin yacht charter vessel in the winter.

NOTE:  Motoryacht POLAR STAR is not currently available for charter.

Satellite image shows super yacht linked to Putin out of reach of sanctions

By Catherine Herridge , Michael Kaplan, Andrew Bast, Jessica Kegu

March 3, 2022 / 7:30 AM EST / CBS News

As Europe and the U.S. bear down with a raft of aggressive sanctions targeting Russian President Vladimir Putin, the super yacht he is believed to own has found safe harbor in a highly militarized port in Russian territorial waters. In new satellite imagery obtained by CBS News, the yacht can be seen docked in a port in Kaliningrad, near Russia's nuclear weapons operations. 

Experts say Putin's luxury vessel has become a symbol not only of his vast hidden wealth, but also of how challenging that money has been to find. 

"He's a KGB agent, so he's crafty. He knows how to hide when he needs to," said John Smith, former director of the Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets Control, which administers and enforces all foreign sanctions.

Data from MarineTraffic, a global intelligence group, shows Putin's alleged yacht, the Graceful, left Germany two weeks before the invasion of Ukraine . 

Putin's government salary is said to be about $140,000, but that doesn't begin to explain the mansions, million-dollar watch collection and over-the-top yacht. 

"It would be fair to say he's among the richest men in the world," Smith said. 

Though he sells himself as a man of the people, his wealth is estimated to be more than $100 billion. 

Putin's critics allege he also has a cliffside palace that includes an amphitheater and a personal tunnel to the beach that doubles as a security bunker. 

"Of course, he doesn't acknowledge it as being his own," Smith said. "It doesn't fit with the public persona that he's trying to create to actually acknowledge it." 

Putin relies on his oligarch friends to shield his fortune from sanctions, Smith said. 

"So if he asked them to do something, they do it in terms of hiding assets, squirreling them in different parts of the globe, they will do what he needs," he said. 

Those who have tried to expose Putin's fortune have done so at great personal risk. 

Putin critic Boris Nemtsov was assassinated on a bridge in the shadow of the Kremlin in 2015. Sergei Magnitsky died in 2009 under questionable circumstances in prison after he exposed $230 million in fraud by Putin's friends. Putin publicly condemned Nemtsov's murder and claimed Magnitsky died of a heart attack.  

His most recent No. 1 critic, Alexei Navalny , who helped expose Putin's lavish palace, emerged as a political rival and found himself repeatedly jailed. He nearly died after being poisoned two years ago, though Putin has denied responsibility for the poisoning. 

"Putin's wealth is one of the most dangerous topics," said Russian journalist Roman Badanin, who spent two decades investigating Putin's financial web. 

Badanin said Russian authorities sought to intimidate and silence his reporting team. Six months ago, he reached his breaking point. 

"I fled the country. My apartment was searched twice. I have like three criminal charges against me back in Russia," he said. 

In his State of the Union address, President Biden said the U.S. and its allies are waging economic war on Putin and Russian oligarchs. 

"We are joining with our European allies to find and seize your yachts, your luxury apartments and your private jets," Biden said. 

On Wednesday, the Justice Department announced the formation of a new task force that would target Russian oligarchs. 

"Russia is not a transparent economy," Smith said. "The U.S. and our allies have decent information on some of [Putin's] assets, I think a lot will remain a mystery for a long time in the future." 

The biggest financial hit for Putin would be sanctions on the energy sector, which Smith says the Russian president has used to build up his wealth for years. So far, Washington and the Europeans have been hesitant to do that.

Superyacht davanti alla costa di ostia: c’è maria, splendida imbarcazione tra lusso e tecnologia, quasi 70 metri di lusso, tecnologia e piacevolezza: il superyacht davanti ostia vale 50 milioni di dollari.

Fine estate caratterizzato da nuovi arrivi di superyacht davanti alla costa di Ostia. Nelle acque antistanti il Porto turistico di Roma oggi, mercoledì 18 settembre, è comparso il Maria. Si tratta di un’altra delle splendide imbarcazioni che hanno fatto la loro apparizione lungo il litorale del Lido e che spingono chi le vede a chiedersi: “Di chi è?”.

In realtà, oltre alla curiosità che si può scatenare nelle persone che vedono questi superyacht dalla riva, si tratta di barche che donano, a chi ha la fortuna di poterci salire, un’esperienza indimenticabile. Veri e propri gioielli del mare , esempi di nuove tecnologie, lusso e piacevolezza nel soggiorno a bordo.

Maria è un superyacht da 67 metri costruito da   Amels nel 2007 su progetto di Terence Disdale, per Shari Arison, che lo aveva chiamato My Shanti.

Amels è un costruttore di yacht di lusso dei Paesi Bassi specializzato negli yacht a motore  con dimensioni tra i 50 e gli oltre 180 piedi di lunghezza.

Maria viaggia ad una velocità massima di 15 nodi e monta motori Motori Caterpillar. La velocità di crociera è di 12 nodi e ha un’autonomia di oltre 3.000 miglia nautiche.

Si tratta di un superyacht da 50 milioni di dollari, con un costo annuo di gestione pari a 5 milioni di dollari.

Per quanto riguarda l’attuale proprietario , il suo nome è avvolto nel mistero. L’unica cosa che si sa è che si tratta di un miliardario europeo. La precedente proprietaria, invece, ora possiede uno yacht che si chiama Megan, come la figlia.

Shari Arison è un’imprenditrice statunitense-israeliana, proprietaria di Arison Investments e di The Ted Arison Family Foundation. Con un patrimonio netto nel 2024 di 5,5 miliardi di dollari, Forbes l’aveva indicata come la più ricca donna israeliana e tra le più ricche del Medio Oriente

Il superyacht Maria, munito delle più recenti tecnologie, presenta degli interni che arrivano ad ospitare nelle sue spaziose cabine 23 persone, più un equipaggio di 18 .

Lo scorso 7 settembre, ad Ostia, era arrivato un altro superyacht, Polar Star . La barca è stata costruita da Lurssen in Germania , cantiere navale che si trova a Rendsburg.

Da ricordare, poi, alcune delle tante apparizioni estive di superyacht: come quello di Zuckerberg o il superyacht progettato per Steve Jobs . Ma anch e Okto, il superyacht da 50 milioni di dollari , oppure quello da cui è sbarcata Madonna, il Pink Shadow ,  di proprietà del re delle protesi ortopediche .

Putin moved £75million superyacht weeks before Ukraine invasion to avoid having it seized

President Putin moved his £75million superyacht three weeks before Russia invaded Ukraine to avoid having it seized as part of war sanctions, a new investigation has claimed.

Secret documents released by Russian investigative journalist Maria Pevchikh, who heads the anti-corruption foundation set up by Alexei Navalny, show the Russian president had his yacht ‘Graceful’ sail from from Blohm & Voss shipyard in Hamburg, Germany to the Russian semi-exclave of Kaliningrad two weeks before the invasion.

The documents show an email was sent by an employee of Russia’s largest shipping company, the SCF Group, to Blohm & Voss saying the owner of Graceful is unhappy with an on-going “refit” and wants the ship to sail out of the Hamburg port on February 1, 2022.

The email does not provide any reason why the owner of the yacht was unhappy with the on-going “refit”, which added two new balconies to the vessel and extended the pool.

“The owner is not happy with the retrofit. He is dissatisfied with the delays in the construction process,” the email says.

“The owner wants the Graceful to be brought to the Russian Federation on February 1st (...). Please mobilise an uninterrupted crew – 2 shifts.’

The email, sent on January 19, 2022, adds: “Please accelerate all works which may interfere with Graceful sailing out on 01 February.

“Please calculate the amount to be paid by Owners due to early departure. Crew and myself will provide full assistance to prepare Graceful for Towing.”

According to investigators, Blohm & Voss was set to work on Graceful for another year to fix open holes in its surface. But the company was forced to cancel its work and get the ship ready to set sail in just 12 days.

The yacht’s crew, based in Hamburg, were also forced to move out of their homes so they could move the vessel.

Reports suggest the company did not meet the deadline of February 1, with pictures showing Graceful being towed out of Hamburg on February 7.

Sanctions imposed by the UK, US, European Union and other allied nations since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine have seen Putin and his allied Oligarchs have their assets seized across the world, including numerous superyachts and houses.

But president Putin was preparing for this eventuality by ordering Graceful - which has since been renamed Kosatka (Russian for ‘killer whale’) - to return to a friendly port well in advance, according to investigators.

Graceful is alleged to have cost the Russian president 87 million euros (£75 million) and has a 50-foot indoor swimming pool that turns into a theatre and dance floor with the press of a button, a helipad, a gym, and a wine cave that can store 400 bottles.

It also features a large library, spa and plunge pools and a cocktail bar.

President Putin allegedly owns three yachts, however, his officials deny this.

As well as Graceful, Mr Putin is alleged to own the Olympia, gifted to him by a top oligarch almost two decades ago, and the £550 million ‘floating palace’ Scheherazade - seized by the West.
