Design
The yacht's exterior design is from Espen Øino (Oeino) while Zuretti Design was responsible for the interior design.[7] The length is 106.1 m (348 ft 1 in), beam is 17.86 m (58 ft 7 in) and draught is 4.1 m (13 ft 5 in). The hull is built out of steel with a superstructure made out of aluminium with five decks.[7] The yacht is flagged in the Cayman Islands.[1]
Amenities
The ship has many amenities: zero speed stabilizers, gym, elevator, 10 m (33 ft) infinity pool, movie theatre, tender garage, swimming platform, air conditioning, BBQ, beach club, spa room, jacuzzi, beauty salon. There is also one helicopter landing pad.[7] On the main deck, the interior holds a hand-painted Pleyel piano inlaid with 24-karat gold.[8] Art deco decorations were created in cooperation with Willem Lenssinck who also designed the five-ton Albatross figure at the bow.[8][9]
Performance
Propulsion is supplied by twin 7,512 hp MTU (20V 1163 M84) diesel engines. The engines drive two propellers, which in turn propel the ship to a top speed of 20 knots (37 km/h). At a cruising speed of 13 knots (24 km/h), her maximum range is 8,000 nmi (15,000 km).[7]
Ownership
Amadea was formerly owned by Suleyman Kerimov. In 2022, it was seized by the US government in Fiji and brought to the United States. Following a forfeiture order, the vessel was auctioned off on September 10, 2025, in a sealed-bid auction conducted by the U.S. Marshals Service.
The winner of the auction was Beyond Holdings Group (formerly AHS Four Company), a firm controlled by Emirati real estate developer Abbas Sajwani.[3][2][4][5] Prior to the sale, the Russian oligarch Eduard Khudaynatov contested the auction, but a U.S. federal judge rejected his ownership claims in 2025, clearing the way for the title transfer to the Sajwani family.[10][9]
