I hate that the events are occurring to create this news, but I have been loving your coverage on them. Just another dynamic that so many never think about.
Just like a GOSSIP COLUMNIST which is totally irrelevant.
Thomas Myers,
And what events do you have in mind? Those filmed in Ukraine showing Ukrainians setting a building on fire with Russian people inside. Then shooting anyone who tried to escape through the window.
Or perhaps the "minor" incident of a pregnant Russian woman being kicked and beaten before being set on fire.
There are Russian refugees from Ukraine now living in Florida with horror stories of a similar kind, to tell and videos to show. None of it made it to the media in US, none in the rest of the West. It's like it wasn't happening. Tell me why?
When President Putin brought this case up in the UN Security Council meeting, no one was interested and he was told Russia was creating its own reality. 14,000 Russians were brutally murdered in Ukraine since 2014 simply for being Russian.
It's hard to hide a 500million $$$ large object
@@teresaolszanka112, Why have 2 million Ukrainians fled Ukraine? Why are Russians fleeing Russia?
@@terjeoseberg990 You tell me. You clearly know something. I know why educated Australians leave Australia, apparently 10,000 per year. As for Ukraine, I've seen images from Ukraine by a guy who traveled through Ukraine and talked to people before intervention and I am not surprised that they do. It's a wasteland.
Man, Spain has been coming through like crazy with the vessel arrests.
Not like it will actually do much though. The owners still retain ownership even under sanctions. It is not like the EU can just up and take them and sell them without breaking their own laws and causing a huge problem.
@@corail53 good to know
@@corail53 to bad they can't sell all those vessels and give the money to Ukraine to rebuilding their country after Russia gets their butts kicked back to their motherland
@@Myrcella_Rykker When it's all over i hope the owners sue every instances involved in seizing these yachts and that the tax payers will pick up the tab.
@@Scott_Adams_Was_Right hi Russian Troll bot. Hard at work spreading Putins propaganda I see
You Sir have the best news brought to us daily, if not hourly.
Whilst our own Western news site are filled to overbrimming with the situation on the ground in Ukraine you are providing an important service to the Ukrainian people too as these news clips must at least give them a little hope that we are all behind them.
I thank you and your contributors, who are representing themselves as esteemed journalists too.
It’s incredible how many of these ships Lurrsen is linked to (I know they’re one of the most prominent yacht builders). I imagine their balance sheet will look very different in the coming years.
Why? They will built a lot submarines 😂
I'd be more interested in their money flow, how many "consultants" and "management companies" they had to "hire" and pay for out of the money they received for building the boat
and where this money ends up, I wouldn't be terribly surprised that they turn out sponsoring a lot of political parties or particular influential individuals
Nice thought 👍 🤔
This channel was always entertaining and informative. Now, in addition to that, your extra hard work to add proper, rigorous journalism - and right up-to-date too - is something you should be very proud of.
May your channel keep going from strength to strength!
I love this. This is the most gratifying information on the internet right now.
It is wholesome.
I agree. Very good news. Love from Sydney Australia💕
I agree.. Thanks
While I absolutely love the"look" and build of these M/Y, the more I see them the more I think how obscene they are and how little the owners care about anything other than power and prestige. Thank you for your presentations they are very informative.
I would prefer to stay under the radar.
looks like someone is suffering from class envy.
Yes me too. When families struggle to pay their bills. May these men rot in hell
I depends. if it is the case that an owner actually uses/lives on these boats on a regular basis in lieu of a big land mansion then that is fine. But if these spend most of the time parked up somewhere absent owners - then yeah. It just becomes a show of prestige that is just not impressive since it is clear that the owners are not true yachties.
@@ronggame6953 who the hell is God. I hate boys who rape three month old baby girl and record it happening. The screams!!
Where was this, ‘God’ of yours, then?
So shut up. By the way a true story. Check Court files the case is there
I'm so glad I started to look at your channel a few days ago, so well reported and I get to know so much things that I didn't even knew I wanted to know until now!! Thank you! :)
The Vladivostok weather temperature should appear automatically in one corner of your report as a regular feature under the umbrella title, "Russian Riviera Weather Update."
Thanks for keeping us updated on all the yachts being arrested. Great job as always.
They should call them 'private cruise ships'. Yachts have sails.
All the vessels should belong to the Russian people. There were bought with profits from state-owned companies. The oligarchs have purchased them with money stolen from the people.
@@edwardroche2480 In many cases this is true. The western govts are indirectly stealing the poor Russians.
With all the terrible news every day, I look to this page to provide a smile as one super yacht after another tries to hide, de-register, etc and the best is when they are arrested. Thank you for your news.
Thank you again for your dedication to keeping us informed. Also, congrats on 160k subscribers!
I have watched this site many times and at this point you can not believe how so relevant it is.!!! the work that this man has done has got to be thanked .So thank you i am so pleased to have known this channel and to hear your voice
ESysman, I want to thank you for the constant updates on these vessels and their constant movements around the globe. I’ve been a longtime subscriber and aside from the magnificent vessels that you you’ve been covering for some years now I find the current situation with these vessels fascinating given the current geopolitical situation. The super yacht community has always been shrouded in mystery to begin with but even more so with these particular super yachts given their owners, especially Crescent given the fact that it’s supposedly owned by Putin. She is a striking vessel given her black hull, etc. and as someone who lives in South Florida near the ocean I have owned a few black cars over the years and keeping the cars clean with the salty air and being black in general is difficult keeping clean on a consistent basis, I can only imagine how difficult it is for the crew keeping her spotless in general given the harshness of the environments she’s in. Living in South Florida I see a number of yachts, 70+ foot sport fishing yachts and super yachts on a regular basis but almost never see any of them let alone a ship in her size in black.
I don’t want to come off as trivial given the current situation/climate but I just found it unusual with her jet black hull and regardless of the owner (Putin?) she is strikingly beautiful.
Also, I want to thank you for the great content and current updates on these vessels scrambling to avoid arrest and their possible destinations for safe haven.
Keep up the great work!
Keep up the Great Work! Thanks for the Info.
Always enjoy watching.

I feel as though we are getting a Masters course on yachting, day by day with these informative updates! Thank you~~
Feel the same friend - This is brilliant
I feel like it's a master class on wealth redistribution.
@@Horrible_Deplorable Love it Love it
On how not to yacht
we should recycle the russian superyachts for structural steel and nails, send it to ukraine for reconstruction ...

This has really turned out to be a great channel during this time.
Fascism. So fantastic!
This has turned out to be a great time for this channel!
@@corneliussulla9963 what are you talking about?
@@user-wn2ho5ij5f About how several media outlets and their viewers are considering it normal to punish people and property, simply for being Russian.
@@corneliussulla9963 I totally agree that it is a problem. Students getting kicked out universities just for being from Russia is just one example of far too many. And what makes things worse, actually this supports Putins propaganda and causes hate against those who treat people unfair just because of their heritage.
However, there is a difference between the old russian lady running a little market around the corner (who actually has nothing to do with the conflict and probably is heartbroken to see what is going on right now) and those billionaire oligarchs with superyachts. Many of them have close relationships with Putin and his regime, and trying to build some pressure against them might actually influence the outcome of the war. I think it is everybodies responsibility to differentiate between the government and the people.
The info u r putting out about the movement n status of these vessels is fascinating, fantastic job u r doing with reporting everything!!!!!
So informative as usual and the chuckle towards the end was especially good.
MY Amadea must have paid the big bucks as she's almost halfway through the canal already. She's about to approach Gamboa and her ETA on the Pacific side is 5:30 tomorrow morning. Once she enters the Pacific it's approx. 9000 nm to Vladivostok, her range is 8000 nm. If she takes fuel at Balboa, Panama I wonder where she's going to fuel up next before making it to Vladivostok?
Refuel whilst underway at sea by a 'friendly' tanker ship.

I enjoy his updates, but war correspondent? I'll reserve that for people on the front line.
My, my ..."very confidential" and "as high up as you can get." The heavy secrecy sure makes one suspicious. And, kudos to Spain.
This crisis is a blessing in disguise for superyacht news. Keep up the good work!
The super yacht that’s docked in Narvik, Norway, has been denied fuel so they can’t leave ( or probably not able to reach their alternate destination). The captain is really upset and complained through the local news that they were being discriminated against and discrimination in Norway was illegal.
One of the fuel supply companies told them to hit the oars and row out of there😂
Yes. This is sophisticated humour!
Maybe we should play our banjos louder, so they will paddle faster.
It's always the nazis who start yelling "discrimination".

Thank you for the video! Have an amazing day!
Great work eSysman and subscribers. They can't defeat tracking when you have the power of the masses! PS: I would check the registry of that Imperial cruiser...I see a Cayman Island flag on the back-owner probably wants to secure privacy, avoid taxes, and their exposure to liability from the Rebel Alliance.
Wait a minute you do weather updates too probably more reliable than my weather app and breaking news any day now sky or bbc are going to be in contact with you 😆 great work as always 👍
I have been a subscriber for a little over a year. Love all of your video's, and really, really! appreciate your current coverage. Please keep it up! Thank you!
Correction: technically super yachts aren’t “arrested”. They’re rendered useless by prohibiting super models from boarding.

I did check on Amadea, and it looks like she has started passage through the canal since you uploaded your nightly report.
Don't the Americans have clout in Panama to block her passage? The canal belongs to them doesn't it?

Awesome to see someone tracking these vessels that knows what their talking about. I gave a try but it's very hard to track vessels when you don't know what to look for. If you haven't done it already it would be interesting to see a post on how many actual suspect vessels are out there. Thank you for the good info. Guard your UnderWare from The Bunker Dwarf.
what *they're* talking about
I’m so happy that E. Sysman’s ship has finally come in!
Just started watching your channel. It is very informative and entertaining. Love the star wars reference at the end.
I loved the comment about the yacht being denied fuel. Makes it trickier to get home or out of sight. Also love Spain's arrests.
It will get fuel. Money talks. Maybe have to fuel up offshore from a fuel boat.

Thanks for another update. Curious to know wider implications for the sector, seems like there are so many arrests so curious out of say top 50 M/Y’s how many are owned (best we can know) by Oligarchs?
Auction the arrested that cannot be cleared and use 100% of the proceeds to fund rebuilding of children hospitals and rehabilitation centers all over a newly liberated Ukraine.
I saw there's atleast one, the Eclipse that's owned by one of those oligarchs close to him, but not sure about the others.
the channel and the detailed research that you’re providing is phenomenal. its as if I’ve been ignorant to this parallel universe.
I may have missed it, if not are you keeping a $ tally of arrested yachts?
Working in that tally
keep the updates coming!
The yacht that is headed to the Panama Canal is uninsured now, according to your earlier video. I was hoping you would speak about if they will be allowed through with no insurance. Or can they be arrested? Great channel!
Or the Suez Canal for that matter.
An insured vessel would be a danger to world trade, so why would they let it through.
Governments often do not insure their property.
Russia has its own maritime insurance companies.
I guess the question is also about payment for transit, if ultimately the ture owner is sanctioned accepting payment might breach the sanctions?
I just started watching you about a month ago. I am so hooked on these stories. Thank you for the information and updates.
I would love to see the channel have more in-depth tours of actual super yachts.
I don’t even own a super yacht I’m just here for the show. Great stuff. Thank you.
How can vessels like Amadea transit the Panama Canal without insurance, registry, or most especially money to pay the fees?
Maybe they pinkie promise to pay it later
I had a neighbor that sold weed and probably other things but he was smart enough to have a prepaid bondsman and lawyer that also held money. Just multiply that by 500 million or so.

Like Bushcraft Bear during the volcanic eruption in La Palma, your channel has become so relevant thesedays : )
Sounds like Vladimir Strzhalkovsky's yacht Ragnar is still in Norway because no one will sell them fuel. That's one way to keep a yacht in port.
Think about that for a second, in the United States you can get sued and lose your business and your livelihood for not selling somebody a cake, but apparently in the EU? totally cool to strand somebody by refusing to sell them fuel because of their nationality.
@@Matt-yg8ub "because of their nationality" is a stretch... saying they're not selling fuel to Strzhalkovsky because of his nationality isn't the case... rather based on the fact that he's a former Lieutenant Colonel of the KGB who served with Vladimir Putin, and now is worth nearly half a billion dollars through the various extortion rackets that were supported by Putin. He's lucky the Norwegians haven't towed into to a secure location.
@@5thGenNativeTexan He’s not under sanctions, They couldn’t find a legal justification to impound his vessel, so they refused him fuel so he’s effectively stuck in port. Think about how corrupt that situation is.
@@Matt-yg8ub It's not the Norwegian government refusing to fuel his yacht... it's the local merchants. If he feels he's been wronged by a local fuel merchant, have him file a lawsuit. Frankly, I could care less if people feel that's "corrupt". There's the law, and there's justice.
@@5thGenNativeTexan This I s dangerously close to “protections from government oppression only apply to the government … state sanctioned private oppression is perfectly legal”
I had heard that there was a superyacht quickly heading up to a far northern Russian port, weeks ago, days before he invaded, that was claimed to have been Putin's. Was this not the case? Does he have more than one?
I assume he would have a few, considering how much money he took.
I think that might have been MY Ragnar…. It’s currently in Norway… supposedly had a charter booked… right about the time there was a NATO training exercise…. Boat was blocked by Norway…. And now they’re not being allowed to refuel..
Are you thinking of the superyacht that abruptly left Germany for Kalliningrad on Feb 23? I was wondering about that too...

@@Matt-yg8ub his not a businessman can owned a 1 billion dollar yacht

@@Matt-yg8ub To be honest, this channel hasn't stated that Putin owns any yacht. He has only stated that people think this yacht may belong to Putin, and they say this because nobody will say who the owner is.
Also, what are the names of the other 5 yachts that you say this channel has said may belong to Putin? Serious question, because I don't know.
brilliant well deserved the million youtube - ,love it !!!
Very interesting! I came across your channel, fascinating (even though I’m not really into boats !)
I hope that the management companies associated with these yachts are held accountable, especially the Captains. They aren't clueless as to who really owns the yachts they work on.
That's nuts- like arresting every downline manager of corrupt corporate CEOs. No.

I see huge negative implications for the mega Yachting industry in the future, starting with write downs in valuations and loss of support business at every level. With travel bans on almost all Russian owners, suspected owners or companies, even Yachts that evade sanctions and make it back to Russian waters are stuck there with little options.
I could see the confiscated ships being resold with money from sale going to Ukraine for the war effort and rebuilding infrastructure.
Yes as the economy continues a nosedive
@@themadscientest So if U.S goes to war, other countries should steal assets from U.S billionaires and give it to Irak, Iran, Afghanistan, Syria etc..?

@@themadscientest, I'm betting the people that are enacting these sanctions end up the new owners of these yachts.

Vladivostok weather report?!
Lol, you are brutal!!
What's happening to ships that have had the insurances pulled? For instance, are they even allowed in the Suez Canal?
Thanks so much for all the videos! Been a very long subscriber. Question what happens to the vessels after they are "arrested"? Could they eventually be actually taken away from their owners and sold or is the arrest more like a boat time out, stay put until all this ends? It's sad to see all the crews getting let go, I'm sure they are all hard-working people, sad to see someone that owns a massive superyacht can't afford to continue to pay their loyal employees until the arrest ends if that's how it works? Would you mind clarifying that perhaps in another video?
Good deal keep up the good work
👍👍👍 TY
Can’t imagine the size of handcuffs needed for this arrest lmao
No it's just zip ties. That's what they do when there is lots of arrests at once.
Thank You
Great channel. Thanks.
If these people weren't a bunch of crooks, they wouldn't have to hide the ownership, would they?! My apologies to boating people, but these "yachts" are just grotesque! I can't believe these people own multiple yachts like this at one time. It is great getting tis up to date news.
I think you'll find criminals behind every great fortune.
You can about guarantee these same people doing these sanctions/robbery hide their own ownerships behind a facade this is common practice. It's all about beating the tax systems/rules they implement for others but exempt themselves from. Come on I'm young and I understand this.
I had a story relayed to me. So this Canadian billionaire bought this super yacht and he uses it about a month or two out of the year. Rest of the time he charters it out. Pays for itself and turns some peofit.
That how these guys roll.
U n me buy a boat it just costs money all the time.
Well, all I'll say is pay attention to who becomes the new owners of all these detained yachts.
@@topduk Statistically the biggest number of crooks is to be found among small fortunes and the poor. They steal small but for them it is very big.
The real illuminating item of all this has to be the "unknown owner" issue. These are $300M+ assets which must be taxed, tracked, have people on board (maritime safety) and yet nobody on the planet actually knows who in the hell owns them. Just ridiculous that is allowed in today's world. I get people want to be "secretive" about a luxury purchase, but at some point - the actual owner needs to sign on the dotted line so tracking / responsibility can happen.
We live in a company ruled economy. Rich people create companies which own these assets and hire lawyers to do all the paperwork. The whole basis of corporations is that they shield private people responsibility. Being against this is being against the entire modern economy model and capitalism. I'm with you, but as long as money rules the world and rich people can pay politicians to writw laws that benefit them, the economic model won't change.
You are looking at it from a western perspective. The better question is why hide the owner? If you have absolute control over the country that you pay tax to, like Putin and his buddies do, who are they hiding from? Putin is a chump. A real badass would just hang out with the wang out, who cares who sees.
So, you're advocating for being tracked?
@@Horrible_Deplorable can you buy a $300 million dollar home and nobody has a clue who owns it? Yes, they literally employ dozens of employees on the high seas, it’s a massive taxable asset, and it costs taxpayers to keep them safe / provide ports, etc. It should be ultra transparent.

I live on the West Coast of Canada ... love these vessels ... did have aspirations many years ago in Yacht Interiors (Decor)... love this channel ... an interesting & entertaining aside from the heavier headlines ... enjoy the fabulous design & engineering ... although I think I more approve of the aesthetics of the 80's & 90's ... have had travel~volunteer plans to Portugal/Gibraltar & Monaco (love the UFO)... UAE & Oman, but, not now with Covid concerns ... this is wonderful here , it's like a vacation... is there any merchandise? ... coffee mugs & T-shirts? ... would love to shop here ... Thank You ...
Sounds like the Super Yacht market going to crash!!! And alot of crew members going to be unemployed
Be interesting to know what percent of the market is Russian owned. Surely all these seized boats will be sold at some stage. Might drop boat prices but they will still need crew. Wouldn't think so myself.
I’m glad they got this one Yacht, especially if it belongs to Putin! Good job by Spain and thank you for the update.
Great weather report for the vacation hot spot Vladivostok. Like Alaska, ‘When It’s Springtime in Vladivostok It’s 40 Below’ Great beach weather for a vodka & caviar BBQ.
Hi, this boat was Always on the port of Cagliari. I usually do photo with the crescent on the background. I Remember that on 2018-201, stayed in that port for 6 month straight. I did a photo lady Summer in the Same Port. I think that the owner has some villas in Sardinia...i think Villasimius.
Not only does the loss of that much money hurt, but it’s a status symbol they definitely care about and one that cannot be replaced easily at all. It’d be years before they’d complete a new one and I’m sure they don’t want to go used
You seem a bit misinformed, Russian Oligarchs buy these from foreign boat builders, they can't replace them.
The should use these yachts to run humanitarian aid to Mariupol. Russians wouldn't dare shoot at their boss's boats.
You do realize that "humanitarian aid" is usually cover for weapons, right?
Great job. I live motor yacht A. Saw it off Maui yrs ago.
Great update
