Since the invasion of Ukraine at least 13 luxury yachts linked to Russian billionaires, valued at between $8 and $600 million have been seized. Other oligarchs, like Alexander Abramov and Roman Abramovich, have moved their yachts to Turkey to avoid the sanctions. Other superyachts linked to oligarchs have suddenly ‘gone dark’, disappearing off global tracking maps and turning off their automatic identification systems.
Yachts have always been the ultimate status symbol, coveted and despised in equal measures. At the annual Monaco super yacht exhibition, interior designer Sabrina Monteeone-Oeino takes us on a tour of her latest creation. But in a world threatened by global warming, superyachts consume nearly 500 litres of diesel per hour.
However, through new technology and new uses, the yachting world is trying to redeem its bad reputation. Francis Lapp has invented a solar power yacht. Other manufacturers are working on hydrogen-powered engines. In this film, we investigate the changing world of luxury yachting.

Battery yachts consume energy made by fossil fuel and probably take up enough cobalt to make a 1000 cars.. great solution 😂

The owner of Bering Yachts seems to think that nuclear power for yachts is the future, and I kinda believe him

Totally. While the anti-nuclear “green” crowd in the west will always be bitches about it, I think more clear thinking countries like Russia and China may get on board with this.

KSA will never become a huge Yachting hub, simple because there is nothing to see and to go to. Same goes for Dubai. Lived in both countries and know the area well. Its a dated production as of the current situation with the drone attacks in the Red Sea yachting is out of the question.
