PELORUS - The Most Beautiful Yacht In The World!
Pelorus is the world's fourteenth largest private yacht at 377 feet 3 inches (115 metres) in length, with a price tag of US-$300 million (254 Million Euros).
Pelorus is powered by two 5,500-hp Wärtsilä 12v 26 engines which will do a maximum 19 knots but often cruises between 12 and 14 knots. Details about the interiors are scant, as Abramovich is protective of his family's privacy and highly security conscious. The interiors are reportedly well appointed but simple. They were designed by Terence Disdale and some interior detail is shown in a presentation on their website.
The yacht has a number of tenders on board and a garage full of 'toys' including jet skis and wave runners. A full time crew of up to 46 people lives aboard all year long and a large security contingent comes and leaves with the family.
Pelorus will often be found cruising around the Western Mediterranean during the summers and commonly ventures down through the Suez for the winters.
In 2005 Abramovich lent Pelorus to Frank Lampard and John Terry for two weeks as a bonus for being the two best players at his English football club Chelsea F.C. the previous season. After John Terry married his fiancee Toni Poole at Blenheim Palace on 15 June 2007, they had a two week honeymoon on Pelorus in the Mediterranean.
