Superyacht DILBAR has been photographed cruising through the waters of the Western Mediterranean, and her angle on the ground reveals what a truly imposing presence she is:
Launched by Lurssen in 2014, 156m/512ft mega yacht DILBAR belongs to Russian billionaire Alisher Usmanov and is one of the world’s largest superyachts. She has an incredible beam of 24m/79ft to create an interior volume of 15,917 GT. She won Motor Yacht of the Year for the Displacement Motoryacht 3,000 GT and Above category and features an exterior design from Espen Oeino while the interiors are courtesy of Winch Design.
Packed full of amenities, she is fully prepared to entertain at dockside events and a smaller cruising group of 20 will feel truly pampered in the on board beauty salon, spa massage room, sauna, steam room, 180m³ swimming pool or cinema.
In an effort to guard privacy there are few outdoor spaces, however, the bow and sundeck are each fitted with a helipad and the former can be used as an entertaining space.
The diesel-electric engines are the largest ever to be installed on a superyacht and give M/Y DILBAR a top speed of 22.5 knots.
Superyacht DILBAR sleeps up to 20 guests, while her crew of 47 ensures that everything runs at peak efficiency throughout the journey.
Currently berthed in Barcelona, mega yacht DILBAR has previously been photographed cruising along the Mediterranean to Porto Cervo in Sicily, moored at Valetta in Malta and the Monaco marina along the French Riviera. The OneOcean Port Vell marina has the world’s most expensive superyacht berth at 160m/525ft in length specially bought by Alisher Usmanov for Dilbar. This berth is reportedly worth around €15-20 million and is secured until the lease runs out in 2036.
