Although he already owned several luxury yachts, Russian Tycoon Roman Abramovich was so impressed by Pelorus that he purchased her from her commissioning owner during her maiden voyage in 2003. Built by Lürssen at a parent shipyard, this impressive yacht draws inspiration from Carinthia VII and has an exterior design by Tim Heywood.
Eclipse took the crown as the reigning queen of private yachts in 2010 and, so far, has not been unseated. Rather stylish for her estimated 13,000 gross tons and 72-foot (22-meter beam), Eclipse owes her styling to UK-based designer Terence Disdale who also worked on Pelorus, once the flagship of Roman Abramovich’s fleet.
