The 177 foot-long Sirius has quarters for 12 crew and a range of 5,000
miles. The Kremlin bought the boat last year from the
Proteksan-Turquoise company in Istanbul. It is believed to be a
replacement for the current presidential yacht, which is due to be
decommissioned.
The yacht’s luxury features include a spacious salon, a master bedroom
and bathroom and a bathing platform with “a wide array of water toys and
diving equipment”. Viktor Khrenikov, a Kremlin spokesman, told the
Vedomosti newspaper it had bought a second-hand craft late last year but
would not comment on the price.
He said it was still being fitted out. “Everything necessary for a
president for work and relaxation has been thought of,” he said. “The
president could use her during the 2014 Olympics”, he added.
