ONE of the world’s most luxurious superyachts, worth $250m and said to belong to a Russian billionaire, has docked in Darwin Harbour.
The 107m Andromeda has been linked to Russian venture capital investor Yuri Milner, who lives in the United States. However, Yuri Milner’s spokesperson, Alice McGillion denied Mr Milner was the owner of yacht.
“Neither Yuri Milner nor any family member nor any entity affiliated with him or his family owns the Andromeda yacht," she said.
It cruised in from French Polynesia and cut an impressive site towering above the Fort Hill Wharf offices.
The boat’s features include a massive circular wine bar opposite a formal dining area.
On the upper deck and partly covered by the third deck for shade, the swimming pool stretches 12m and is surrounded by lounging areas for guests to laze in the sun.
The 400sq m pool deck has an equally impressive large jacuzzi.
There is a sauna adjoining a large gym.
