‘Putin’s Yacht’ as the locals in Marina di Carrara call it. Motor Yacht Scheherazade is a 142m Superyacht that has many links to the a Russian President, Vladimir Putin and was arrested by Italian authorities in 2022.
The yacht is still crewed by some British mariners including her master (captain) despite those links to the Russian president who invaded Ukraine in 2022.
The captain claims the yacht is not owned by Putin despite previously allegedly telling interviewees the yacht was owned by a ‘Russian politician, who goes as high as it gets’.
Since her arrest the yacht had been lengthened by 2 metres with a stern extension with a cost probably around $6-10 million dollars, and is now having further modifications carried out despite her arrest. The work is being carried out by @the_italian_sea_group
The Italian Government has refused to give any details of how this work is allowed because of the yacht’s arrest.
Now in our latest video, we show the yacht is having more work, more modifications with an approximate cost of another $5-10 MILLION.
If you are really interested you can the Navalny team's video here (it's Russian but with English subtitles)

The boat has been in the drydock for a very long time. Generally, in a repair yard, the most valuable piece of real estate is the drydock. The general objective is to bring a ship into the drydock, do whatever work is needed, and get it back into the water. How much work has the shipyard turned away while Putin's yacht sits in the drydock? I spent my career working with large tankers. I am familiar with drydocking and repairs to tankers. I have no experience with super yachts. I am extrapolating my experiences.

I’m pretty sure the reason why that shipyard is working on that yacht now is because of the fact they’re gonna turn around and sell it at auction because it’s been sitting there for years taking up valuable real estate so you should dig into that that it looks like they’re just fixing it up so that they can get as much as possible at auction just like they did to several other yards. They sold them when they were seized.

Spent millions of money on something that he has a 98% chance of never getting back. But this falls in line with the rest of what Putin does. Him and his military are continually making absolute stupid decisions. They have helped out to Ukraine More than anyone else by taking out their own bed and equipment. They are definitely a great supporter and help for Ukraine. So when it goes to this type of help, keep up the great work, Russia. You were doing an awesome job helping Ukraine.

@jfmezei Ай бұрын
"Maintain it in the condition it was it at time of arrest". That condition had ship under contract for modificatiosn by shipyard, so easy to see why the arrest would include continued work to complete the work. Quite different from ship being arrested at a marina and then sig a contract for modifications after arrest. Also, the shipyard would be the injured party here if the work were not allowed to be finished if the contract had mobilised workforce and facilities like dry dock for a certain period and cancelling that contract did not guarantee these workers and facilities would find work of equal pay/profit and might instead remain idle while they look for other customers. What is surprising though is that the fancy row boat didn't complete the work asap. Curious if there were in fact 2 separate contracts 2 years apart and because of arrest, the second paint job scheeduled for 2 year after lenghtening was not part of the same visit. Otherwise, you would have expected the work to be completed as soon as possible and then leave the row boat parked in a marina somwhere. I assume ship's upkeep is much less expensive while in shipyard? Might be a reason the Italian goverment is happy to see work take longer than necessary since they wouldn't have to pay for full crew for upkeep.

Come on, now. You're old enough to know that the government doesn't hold itself to the same standards it holds its people. The government can make an exception for itself. These sanctions have not been hurting Russia, but those that have sanctioned Russia. If the Italian government gives itself an exemption so that the Russian owner can maintain (and improve) the yacht so the government doesn't have to, what harm does it do? The Russians can't use it and the Italian government doesn't have to pay for it. *_IF_* government employees were smart, they would have allowed _every_ sanctioned/detained yacht to be maintained by the owners while the sanctions are going on. It's ignorance and arrogance by the government to state they're going to take care of these without being affected.
