Roman Abramovichis renting it out his Yacht for £1.25million a week.

Is Abramovich bored with new yacht already? £300m vessel for rent after six months

With two swimming pools, two helipads, a gym, hair salon, dancefloor and submarine, there is plenty to occupy even the most discerning visitor. 

But it seems Roman Abramovich has already tired of life on board the world’s largest private yacht. 

Just six months after taking delivery of the £300million vessel, the Russian billionaire is renting it out – for £1.25million a week.

The Chelsea football club owner is rumoured to have spent only a few hours on board the Eclipse, which comes equipped with 70 staff, a missile defence system, armour plating and bulletproof windows.

Even if the military-grade security is breached, the occupants are safe in the knowledge that they can make a James Bond-style escape in a submarine that can dive to a depth of 150ft.

 

And there’s plenty of room to entertain friends, with 15 double bedroom cabins all equipped with their own luxury bathrooms and 6ft wide television screens. Parties on the 533ft yacht are guaranteed to stay private, as it’s fitted with an ‘anti-paparazzi shield’ that fires a laser beam of light at cameras to ruin photographs.

The 20,000 sq ft interior also houses a sauna, steam bath and whirlpool to help guests wind down.

But despite everything Eclipse has to offer, Abramovich, 44, is already letting it out through SuperYachtsMonaco. 

Potential customers will need deep pockets, however, as it’s priced at a staggering £175,000 a day – and filling the fuel tank will cost a further £400,000.

Abramovich, who owns three other superyachts, ordered the Eclipse in 2006. It first set sail from Hamburg’s Blohm + Voss shipyard in June 2009.

The boat maker carried out further testing and refinement before Abramovich took delivery of his flagship yacht in late December last year.

But he was criticised last month when the enormous vessel moored unannounced in Venice.

Locals and tourists complained that the yacht was ruining the city’s scenic views. 

To keep the boat running, Abramovich employs 70 staff, with annual costs estimated to be around £50million. 

The Eclipse is around 11ft longer than the Dubai, previously the world’s largest private yacht, owned by Sheikh Mohammed and named after the emirate he rules.
