Pelorus is the world's eleventh largest private yacht at 377 feet 3 inches (115 metres) in length, with a price tag of $130 million. She was built at the Lürssen yard in Germany to the design of Tim Heywood and was launched in 2003.
She was briefly owned by a Saudi businessman who sold her to Jewish Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich the following year. Abramovich had her refitted to his own requirements by Blohm & Voss. This included the addition of a second helicopter pad forward, four new zero-speed stabilisers and modifications to the exhaust, mast and stern. Abramovich also owns Ecstasea, and gave away Le Grand Bleu to friend Eugene Shvidler.
