10 facts about Lürssen's 156m superyacht Dilbar

Related articles, superyacht directory.

Launched by German shipyard Lürssen in 2016, Dilbar is a record-breaking superyacht. Her builder has even claimed that she “is one of the most complex and challenging yachts ever built, in terms of both dimensions and technology.” This standout superyacht was delivered to her owner Uzbekistani billionaire Alisher Usmanov as a replacement for Usmanov’s previous yacht of the same name, which has since been renamed Al Raya . Information about the super-secretive yacht is scarce but the figures that have been revealed are impressive. Read on to discover the 10 most incredible facts about Dilbar …

1. Dilbar is the fourth longest yacht in the world

At 156 metres, the Espen-Øino designed Dilbar is one of the longest superyachts in the world. She was a step up from Usmanov’s previous Dilbar yacht, now renamed Al Raya , which measured only 110 metres.

2. She can accommodate almost 100 crew members

Dilbar is normally run by a crew of 80 that help maintain the superyacht and wait on her guests. When necessary, this crew capacity can be increased to a maximum of 96 crew members, meaning Dilbar can carry as many as 120 people at full capacity.

3. The largest yacht in the world by gross tonnage

While the title of largest yacht in the world by length goes to the 180.61 metre Azzam , the 156 metre Dilbar has the greatest interior volume of any yacht ever delivered, boasting an impressive gross tonnage of 15,917. This translates into 3,800 square metres of living space for 24 guests styled by Winch Design with rare and exclusive luxury materials and extended by fold-out balconies.

4. Dilbar has the largest swimming pool ever installed on a superyacht

Measuring 25 metres long, the swimming pool on board Dilbar can hold an impressive amount of water – 180 cubic metres of water in fact. The swimming pool on Dilbar is reportedly the largest pool to ever be installed on board a superyacht.

5. There is a garden on board

For guests missing the shore, Dilbar is equipped with an expansive garden complete with a specially developed variety of grass that tolerates salt air. The designer of the garden, German architect and founder of Yacht-Green Axel Massmann, disclosed that plants from “Mediterranean areas” were chosen because “ Dilbar tends to be between the South of France, northern Spain and sometimes Cyprus.” By choosing plants grown within EU waters, Dilbar was also spared the headache of customs regulations that forbid the import of foreign plants.

6. The yacht is powered by a 30,000KW electric diesel power plant

Opting for an electric-diesel hybrid power source helps reduce Dilbar’s emissions while still providing a top speed of 22.5 knots. Her builder Lürssen claims that the 30,000 KW power plant on which Dilbar runs is the most powerful to ever be fitted on a superyacht.

7. Over 1,100km of cables were installed on board

Dilbar was a technical feat. A total of 1,100 kilometres of cabling (almost the same length as the total land borders of the country of Bhutan) was stretched throughout the interior to power all of the amenities and facilities on board.

8. There are two helipads

Helipads are a key asset to helping owners and guests make smooth and swift journeys from ship to shore. Dilbar however is equipped with not one but two helipads where the H175 helicopter can land to drop off or pick up. The first is located forward at the bow of the yacht, while the second is situated aft on the top deck flybridge.

9. Dilbar was built in just 52 months

From the time of signing the contract to delivering the superyacht to her owner, Lürssen and the designers working on the project managed to construct and complete Dilbar in just over four years.

10. The interiors feature over 1,000 sofa cushions

The amount of living space on board meant that Winch Design had to decorate the interiors with plentiful soft furnishings. Dilbar has been outfitted with over 1,000 custom-made sofa cushions on board, with each and every one uniquely designed to fit the interior scheme.

Yacht Dilbar: Who Is the Billionaire Owner of the Superyacht?

The 156m Lurssen superyacht  Dilbar  is the largest motor yacht in the world by gross tonnage.  Dilbar  is worth a fortune and filled with countless luxuries, but who is the owner of the yacht, and how did they amass their fortune? Read on to find out.

Who is the owner of Yacht Dilbar?

The owner of  Dilbar  is Alisher Usmanov, one of Russia’s richest men. The Uzbek-born billionaire has a staggering net worth of £13.706bn. It’s with this immense fortune that he bought the 156m  Dilbar in 2016 . Based on her gross tonnage of 15,917,  Dilbar  is estimated to have a worth of between $800 and $1bn, making her one of the highest value superyachts in the world.

How did Alisher Usmanov get rich?

Alisher Usmanov is amongst the wealthiest citizens of Russia. He stands alongside billionaires like Roman Abramovich and Vladimir Putin ( who owns a whole fleet of yachts himself ). Over the years, Usmanov has accumulated his wealth through various ventures, ranging from selling plastic bags to being an early investor in Facebook. However, his high net worth is mostly due to his involvement in the mining and investment industries. Usmanov has shown no sign of slowing down, with his worth increasing by a substantial 1.726bn between 2020-2021. Importantly he makes sure to use his money to benefit others – of everyone on the  Sunday Times Rich List  he is by far the most charitable, giving almost £500m in the past year alone.

UPDATE: Fate Of Russian Billionaire Alisher Usmanov’s Mega-Yacht In Germany Uncertain

• Share to Facebook
• Share to Twitter
• Share to Linkedin

Alisher Usmanov's Dilbar yacht.

CORRECTION (March 3): According to the Ministry for Economy and Innovation in the German state of Hamburg, the country’s authorities have not seized the Dilbar, a 512-foot yacht owned by sanctioned Russian billionaire Alisher Usmanov. As Forbes reported on Wednesday, work on the ship has been halted at the Hamburg shipyard where it has been stationed for refitting work since October.

Three sources had told Forbes it had been seized, but a representative for Usmanov cited the statement from the ministry in Hamburg to confirm that it had not. In its statement, the ministry elaborated that the German federal customs agency is the “responsible enforcement authority” and would have to issue an export waiver for the yacht to leave, and that “no yacht leaves port that is not allowed to do so.”

The yacht is registered in the Cayman Islands and owned through Klaret Continental Leasing Limited, a company based in Malta, according to public data from vessel tracking service VesselFinder. A spokesperson for the Malta Business Registry told Forbes that Klaret Continental Leasing Limited was a branch of a Cyprus-based company which closed in December 2018. The Cyprus company, also named Klaret Continental Leasing Limited, was dissolved in September 2019, according to corporate records in Cyprus. A spokesperson for Usmanov told the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project , which Forbes is collaborating with on assets linked to Russian oligarchs, that the yacht had “long ago been transferred into an irrevocable trust” and that Usmanov had “donated” the beneficial rights to members of his family. That makes it difficult to tie the yacht directly to Usmanov for the purpose of sanctions.

In its statement, the ministry in Hamburg added that restrictions can be imposed on a yacht owned by a sanctioned Russian individual only “if the ownership situation is clearly clarified and all these possessions are also sanctioned.” The ministry confirmed to Forbes that the yacht is still in the dock at the Hamburg shipyards of Blohm+Voss.

Forbes contacted the German Ministry of Economic Affairs and the Federal Customs Service but has not received an immediate response.

Russian billionaire Alisher Usmanov was sanctioned by the European Union on Monday. Two days later, Forbes has learned from three sources in the yacht industry that work has been halted on one of his prized possessions—the 512-foot yacht Dilbar, valued at nearly $600 million—in the northern city of Hamburg, where it had been stationed for refitting at the shipyards of Blohm+Voss since October.

The ship has been in the Hamburg shipyards of German shipbuilding firm Blohm+Voss since late October for a refitting job. Sources who spoke to Forbes said that the German government froze the asset and that, likely as a result, Blohm+Voss employees who had been working on the yacht didn’t show up to work on Wednesday. A spokesperson for Lürssen, the German shipbuilder which owns Blohm+Voss, declined to comment on Thursday. “All orders and projects of the Lürssen Group and its subsidiaries are treated in accordance with the applicable laws and regulations,” the spokesperson said. Representatives for Usmanov didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.

Usmanov purchased Dilbar in 2016 for a reported $600 million from Lürssen, which custom-built it for him over 52 months. The firm calls it "one of the most complex and challenging yachts ever built, in terms of both dimensions and technology." At 15,917 tons, it's the world's largest motor yacht by gross tonnage, and is typically manned by a crew of 96 people. Dilbar boasts the largest swimming pool ever installed on a yacht as well as two helicopter pads, a sauna, a beauty salon, and a gym. Its plush interiors have more than 1,000 sofa cushions and it can host up to 24 people in 12 suites.

The yacht is part of Usmanov’s estimated multibillion dollar fortune, which spans stakes in iron ore and steel giant Metalloinvest and consumer electronics firm Xiaomi, as well as smaller holdings in telecom, mining and media. One of the earliest investors in Facebook along with fellow billionaire Yuri Milner , Usmanov also owns extensive real estate assets in the West, ranging from two estates in the UK—Beechwood House in London and Sutton Place in Surrey, valued at a combined $280 million—to luxury homes in Munich, Germany; Lausanne, Switzerland; Monaco; and Sardinia.

Usmanov sold his 30% stake in English soccer team Arsenal F.C. in 2018 for nearly $700 million in cash, but until this week had ties to soccer through his USM Holdings and MegaFon sponsorships of Everton F.C. The Premier League team said on Wednesday that it was suspending the arrangements in light of Russia’s attack on Ukraine. Usmanov isn’t the only Russian billionaire with a mega-yacht: Forbes and yacht valuation experts VesselsValue tracked down 32 of them.

On Tuesday, Usmanov commented on the EU sanctions imposed on him in a statement to the International Fencing Federation where he also announced he was stepping down as the organization’s president. “I believe that such decision is unfair, and the reasons employed to justify the sanctions are a set of false and defamatory allegations damaging my honor, dignity, and business reputation," he wrote. "I will use all legal means to protect my honor and reputation."

The Top Luxurious Superyachts Owned by Billionaires

Commissioned by Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich, the Eclipse is one of the most famous luxurious superyachts in existence. Launched in 2010, this 162.5-meter vessel was the largest yacht in the world at the time. It boasts a range of luxurious features including two helipads, a disco hall, swimming pools, hot tubs, and even a missile detection system. The Eclipse can accommodate up to 36 guests and a crew of 70, ensuring that every whim of its passengers is catered to.

Currently holding the title of the largest private yacht in the world, Azzam measures an astounding 180 meters. Owned by Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the President of the United Arab Emirates, Azzam is not just remarkable for its size. It is also one of the fastest superyachts, capable of reaching speeds of over 30 knots.

Owned by Russian billionaire Alisher Usmanov, Dilbar is another luxurious superyacht that exemplifies luxury. At 156 meters long, Dilbar is known for having the largest gross tonnage of any yacht in the world.

Famous superyachts owned by billionaires

Many of the world’s wealthiest individuals are drawn to the allure of luxurious superyachts. Jeff Bezos, the founder of Amazon, is reportedly commissioning a 127-meter sailing yacht named Koru.

Bill Gates, the co-founder of Microsoft, has also shown interest in the superyacht lifestyle.

This 112-meter yacht emphasizes sustainability, with its innovative use of hydrogen fuel cells, representing a step forward in eco-friendly yachting.

A Closer Look: Roman Abramovich and His Yacht, Eclipse

Roman Abramovich, a Russian billionaire with a net worth of over $14 billion, is perhaps one of the most renowned yacht owners in the world.

Nevertheless, Eclipse remains one of the most impressive and expensive yachts, with an estimated cost of $500 million.

• Roman Abramovich: Biography and Success Story

Despite these hardships, Abramovich demonstrated a keen business acumen from a young age. He initially made his fortune in the oil industry, co-founding the oil company Sibneft in 1995. His business ventures expanded rapidly, and he became one of Russia’s wealthiest individuals.

Abramovich is perhaps best known in the Western world for his ownership of the Chelsea Football Club, a premier soccer team in the English Premier League. Under his ownership since 2003, Chelsea has experienced significant success, winning numerous domestic and international titles. His involvement in various industries, from steel to telecommunications, further solidified his status as a global business magnate.

Beyond his business endeavors, Abramovich is also a notable philanthropist, contributing to various charitable causes, particularly in education and healthcare. His luxurious superyacht Eclipse serves as both a symbol of his success and a mobile retreat where he can entertain guests and enjoy the pleasures of yachting.

6 Of The Largest Yachts Ever Built

W hile gigantic and opulent aren't necessarily requirements for a naval vessel to be considered a yacht, the mere mention of a yacht is synonymous with both qualities. If someone tells all of their friends and associates that they own a yacht, it's probably going to be the largest and ritziest vehicle in their possession.

Even among yachts, though, there are some vessels out in the massive seas of the Earth that absolutely dwarf any ordinary country club yacht in terms of sheer size, weight, and carrying capacity. These vessels are owned by some of the wealthiest, most powerful individuals in the world, created to order by the most prominent and well-respected manufacturers just for them. When you set foot on one of these yachts, you're not just on a boat but standing on an entire floating mansion . Make sure you wipe your feet because you definitely can't afford the floor-cleaning price.

The Dilbar was manufactured by German builder Lürssen back in 2015 as part of a secret project known as "Project Omar." This vessel was constructed for and owned by Russian billionaire Alisher Usmanov, though due to sanctions imposed during the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, the vessel was seized by German port authorities in 2022. The vessel still remains in German custody at the time of writing.

For an initial price tag of approximately $600 million, the Dilbar measures 156 meters in length, or 511 feet, making it the sixth longest yacht in the world. That comes with a gross tonnage of 15,917, making it a contender for the largest yacht based on sheer volume. A good amount of that substantial size is taken up by the world's largest yacht swimming pool, measuring in at 180 cubic meters. It also features a pair of bow and aft helipads, as well as a 30,000kw diesel-electric power plant.

Project Blue, or just Blue for short, was manufactured by German builder Lürssen and launched in 2022. The vessel was designed by famous yacht designer Terence Disdale, who has won awards around the world for his opulent yacht interiors and striking exteriors. The vessel was created for billionaire and Emirati politician Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan for an estimated price tag of over $600 million. If the yacht was constructed for any particular occasion, that occasion has not been revealed.

The Blue measures in at 160 meters, or 524 feet, with a total volume of 15,320 tons. While official blueprints and documentation of the Blue have not been publicly divulged, yacht experts estimate its passenger capacity to be around 48 guests, plus a full crew of 80. The Blue is equipped with high-performance MTU engines, providing a smooth cruising speed of 16 knots and a top speed of 20 knots.

The Dubai was launched after over 10 years in the bay in 2006. The vessel was initially assembled at the behest of Prince Jefri Bolkiah of Brunei in a joint effort between Blohm + Voss and Lürssen under the name Project Platinum. However, in 2001, the project was bought out by Platinum Yachts FZCO on order of the then and current ruler of Dubai, Sheik Mohammed Rashid al-Maktoum, who renamed the project after his own emirate and had it finished up. The Dubai remains in Sheik al-Maktoum's possession to this day, where it docks appropriately in Dubai.

The Dubai measures 162 meters long, or about 531 feet, with a gross tonnage of 13,470. This opulent vessel can accommodate about 72 guests, as well as comfortably house a crew of 115 in its 58 crew cabins. The inside of the Dubai is decorated like a stately manor, with the centerpiece being a beautiful circular glass-step staircase lit in a variety of changing colors. With a quartet of MTU diesel engines, this vessel can travel 8,500 miles at an impressive 25 knots, 26 if you really open it up.

Launched in 2010 by German manufacturer Blohm + Voss, the Eclipse currently maintains the honor of being the third-largest yacht in the entire world. The Eclipse is owned by Russian oligarch and billionaire Roman Abramovich. However, since the beginning of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, Abramovich has moved the Eclipse to various ports around the world in order to keep it from being seized due to sanctions.

The Eclipse measures in at 162.5 meters in length, roughly 533 feet, with a gross tonnage of 13,564. The vessel's main deck features a modular 52-foot-long swimming pool, which can be adjusted in length to fit the needs and number of passengers. The pool can also be completely covered with a blue granite floor cover to become a dance floor. Perhaps the most notable feature of the Eclipse, though, is its built-in self-defense systems, including a missile-detection system and missile launchers of its own.

Fulk Al Salamah

Originally announced in 2014 as "Project Saffron," the Fulk Al Salamah was launched in 2016 by Italian manufacturer Mariotti. The vessel is the property of Sultan Haitham bin Tariq, ruler of Oman, and is a part of the Oman Royal Yacht Squadron. The Fulk Al Salamah is used primarily as a "Royal Support Vessel," which means it travels around the world with the express purpose of fostering good relationships between the Sultan and other friendly countries. It also serves as a direct support to the head of the fleet, the Al Said.

The Fulk Al Salamah is currently the second largest yacht in the world, measuring 164 meters, or about 538 feet, with a gross tonnage of 20,361. Fittingly for a globe-trotting party ship, the Fulk Al Salamah comfortably houses 40 guests in lavish cabins alongside a full crew of 100. The highlight of the interior is a living museum of art, artifacts, and photos, all from Oman, intended to give passengers a glimpse into the Omani heritage and lifestyle.

Constructed by Lürssen and launched in 2013, the Azzam is not only the largest yacht that the manufacturer has ever made but also the current record holder for the largest yacht in the entire world. The Azzam was originally commissioned for the previous Emir of Abu Dhabi, Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan. However, after the Sheikh's passing, the vessel entered the ownership of Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, who serves as both the current Emir of Abu Dhabi and the President of the United Arab Emirates.

The Azzam's record-setting body measures in at a mighty 180 meters in length, or about 590 feet, with a gross tonnage of 13,136. With a combination of two gas turbines and two diesel engines, the Azzam can carve through the waves at 30 knots. The vessel can carry around 36 guests alongside a crew of 60.
