this is superyacht news with eSysman
hi welcome back to the channel so i've got quite a few stories going on tonight
first of all i wanted to do an update on the yacht that sank in Greece - that was the thumbnail
for the previous video okay so quite a lot of confusion around this story
which i'm going to explain in a second one of the funniest things i was accused of was
actually photoshopping the photographs that you saw in the previous video and the three guys sat
in the boat apparently i photoshopped that it was a normal picture but as you can see in the
video that's running like now there's a video of that boat on on the rocks there or on on the reef
and you can this was taken after the people had been there rescued from it but anyway the reason
why i'm bringing this up is because so the vessel that was in the accident was a Ferretti 830 that
was the model of the type of yacht that was in the accident now you can see from this photograph here
what they hit and you can see there's a reef system there and they've run aground up right
on top of it and the vessel was stranded on that reef system after they hit obviously they've
ripped off the hole and took on water so the good news is that the vessel's actually being recovered
one of the things i was going to say in this video was that it looked like by where the vessel was
lying that it could be recovered and it has been recovered that's great news is just before i i
came on to make this video i i saw that the vessel had actually indeed been recovered now according
to the superior times who had photographs of the vessel being lifted on a crane with strops
onto a barge and yeah and recovered so that's good news i can't show you any of the photos because
they're on the superyacht times website and i used one of their photos once with verbal verbal
approval and still got a copyright strike so i'm not going to do that again i have asked them if
i could use them but they haven't got back to me yet if i do get permission i'll put them in the
next video but i'll put a link to the article on superyacht times website and you can go and look
at those photos yourself now amazingly and here's where the confusion came from amazingly on the
same day that that yacht crashed in Greece this vessel also hit a reef in the Bahamas and sank so
and the reason why there was so much confusion is because both vessels were Ferretti 830s i'm
led to believe and it does look like indeed that this second vessel is a Ferretti 830
and this one came to the same fate as the previous one and it was a close to chub k in the Bahamas
um and what i was told is there were 4 people on board and one person had some injuries but nobody
was seriously injured so yeah so that's amazing isn't it that on the same day in 2 different parts
of the world the same model boat hit a reef and sank or hit reefs different ones obviously and
sank because i had some people actually texting me saying that you know you got the locations
wrong it's not in Greece it's in the Bahamas and so there was yeah there was a lot there was
confusion created by the fact that 2 vessels were almost identical crashed on the same day
and yeah have this suffered the same fate but like i said the good news is nobody was hurt
and you know and then in in terms of the first one the vessel's been recovered
all right so we'll move on to another story there's a quite a few flag changes going on
right now and this could be a sign of more to come the first one motor glass on this is a support
vessel or a shadow vessel and the vessel is owned by Roman Abramovich now if you don't know what
shadow vessel is i've talked about them in the past basically it's a super yacht standard vessel
that is specifically designed to carry toys like usually like helicopters and fast speed
boats fishing boats jet skis sea doos all that kind of stuff submarines what have you so so the
owner will have a yacht and a support yacht and the yacht support yard follows the main yacht
around the vessel is alongside another boat owned by Roman Abramovich called halo now the reason why
i'm bringing this boat up because they both got arrested in Antigua and they're both in Antigua
right now a few meters away from another vessel that's also stuck in Antigua and that's Alpha Nero
but the reason why i'm talking about Garcon right now is because yesterday the 10th of July
Garcon suddenly changed the flag state so one other thing about Roman Abramovich is every boat
that he has in his fleet and yes he has a fleet of boats are registered in Bermuda
and that was until yesterday and now Garcon is re has been re-registered in the cook islands or
re-flagged in the cook islands so yeah that's very interesting development now i suspect
this is the first of all of the boats now i had heard that Mr Abramovich was having trouble with
Bermuda and all of his yachts now i was never able to confirm this story i did ask a number of people
if they could help me out with this one but i never got anything back but but this seems to
confirm that story i mean that vessel is arrested currently in Antigua but it's changed flag states
which is a bit unusual but i suspect that we might see halo following in in the next week
and it could be that all of his boats will change not necessarily to the Cook Islands but they could
all be changing to another registry very soon so i'll keep an eye on that and i'll get back to you
when i have more on that story but while we're on the subject of losing flank states
and motor yacht Elsia also lost her flag state recently now this is a 49 meter yacht built by
Italy yachts in 2011 and is currently in Gojek in Turkey now Gojek and turkey is one of the most
concentrated spaces right now for Russian-owned super yachts and and this boat is is there now
this boat used to belong to Xander Machmadoff now he's the chap who owns uh predator now if you
saw my video about the Ghostbump video you'll you will remember that there was a boat that was last
location known location was on it was next to a swimming pool in Sardinia well that was predator
and that's Xander McMurdo's boat now he used to own Elsia but according to boats international on
in 2016 that vessel was sold uh to a new owner by imperial yachts now as far as everywhere imperial
yachts map they did manage the vessel they sold that vessel to a new owner but i don't know who
the new owner is so if you know please get in touch but it is a Russian-owned vessel still
now the vessel lost its Cayman Islands flag which is very interesting because most boats,
out there , are registered in the Cayman Islands is the biggest yachting registry as far as i'm
aware and i haven't seen any Cayman Islands boats being re-registered until now so it's a very
interesting development now the vessel has been re-registered to St Vincent and the grenadines
and that's just happened in the last couple of weeks so that's yeah that's a very interesting
development vessel still in Gojek in Turkey so and while we're on the subject of Gojek and Turkey
we'll move on to the next vessel so motor yacht Flying Fox is also in Gojek in Turkey
she was in the Dominican Republic a few months ago you remember if you watch the channel regularly
that she was arrested there and the U.S. people were on board searching and etcetera etcetera
and then the vessel just suddenly up and left one day and the only thing that the government
said was that she'd left they'd never give any reasons why and that was the end of that story
she raced across the Atlantic and went straight to Turkey now she's been there ever since
this is the one of the first vessels to be sanctioned by the U.S. government the vessel has
been sanctioned i think this is a way of getting around the figuring out who the owner is now what
i'm told by sources is that the vessel's now on a minimum crew because of the fact that it's not
being used and they're struggling to get crew i believe Imperial yachts again are currently moving
people around to different boats because they're they're unable or struggling to get new recruits
right now so they're having to move crew around to various boats this is what sources have told me
the the crew have been asked to sign very tight NDA's and i've seen an Imperial NDA and they are
pretty severe i don't know whether this is a standard one or even more strict one but
yeah so that's an interesting development so that vessel's not going anywhere anytime soon
now still in that same location in Gojek and Turkey we have motor yacht Eclipse so sources tell
me that a multi-yard eclipse is also running on a minimum crew or not a minimum crew but they're
down to about less than 30 crew one source telling me as low as 25 now that sounds like a lot i know
you're probably thinking that's a lot of crew but that vessel normally cruise around 70 crew
it's a big bow isn't it so 160 meters so yeah there's a it's a big boat it needs a big crew
normally but they're down to a very minimal crew and that would explain why it's not going anywhere
so with that in mind it's possible that if Abramovich is struggling on that boat it makes
sense to think that all of the boats are going through the same problem right he's got another
boat motor yacht Solaris the 143 meter 146 meter brand new boat and that's also in in turkey but
it's in a place called yalik yalak kavak i don't know whether i pronounced that correctly but
that vessel is at anchor there right now next to another Russian boat called motor
yacht Anna and this is owned by Dmitry Robolov and he's the owner of a.s Monaco football team
one interesting thing about Solaris though is that she's our anchor in that in that location
but she bought on according to AIS it says she's in anchorage Alaska but that's a very interesting
development there with the with the flags losing the flags definitely going to stay on top of that
