Pelorus (from the Greek word “pelorios”, meaning “vast”) is the world's nineteenth largest luxury yacht at 115 metres (377 ft) in length, currently owned by David Geffen. Commissioned by a Saudi Arabian businessman, she was built at the Lürssen yard in Bremen, Germany to the design of Tim Heywood. Launched in 2003, she was sold to Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich in 2004. Abramovich had it refitted to his own requirements by Blohm & Voss. This included the addition of a second helicopter pad forward, four new zero-speed stabilizers and modifications to the exhaust, mast and stern. Pelorus is powered by two 5,500-hp Wärtsilä 12v 26 engines, which will do a maximum 19 knots, but often cruises between 12 to 14 knots. Details about the interiors are scant, as Abramovich was protective of his family's privacy and highly security conscious. The yacht has a number of tenders on board and a garage full of 'toys', including jet skis. Under Abramovichs ownership, the yatch had a full time crew of up to 46, which was added to by a large security contingent that came and left with his family. Pelorus would cruise 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. Handed over to Irina Abramovich in 2009 as part of her divorce settlement, she sold it via broker Merle Wood to David Geffen in 2011 for $300 million. Mediterranean hotspot Mallorca is the place to be seen at the moment if you’re a mogul with a flashy megayacht. Hollywood tycoon David Geffen recently arrived in his new $300 million toy, the 376-ft. Pelorus (above), purchased from a certain Roman Abramovich a couple months back. Geffen now owns two megayachts ranking within the top 20 largest yachts in the world, having bought out Larry Ellison’s share in the 453-ft. Rising Sun in 2010. The Pelorus boasts two helicopter pads, a swimming pool, a spa pool, and an owner’s suite with 180-degree panoramic views and a private deck. Pretty impressive – but as it happens Geffen was overshadowed by another billionaire, Russian businessman Andrey Melnichenko, who arrived in Mallorca aboard his stunning Philippe Starck-designed megayacht, ‘A’. At 390 feet it’s bigger than the Pelorus, ranking as the 15th largest yacht in the world. Powering in from Ibiza the ‘A’ immediately eclipsed Geffen’s vessel thanks to its striking design, no easy feat. Inside the ‘A’ is no less impressive. The interior features $40,000 bath faucets, $60,000 stair banisters, and an all-white, 2,583-sq.-ft. master suite wrapped in bulletproof glass accessed by a silver-plated staircase with a fingerprint scanner at the door.

Pelorus (from the Greek word ¨pelorios¨, meaning ¨vast¨) is the world's sixteenth largest luxury yacht at 377 feet 3 inches (115 metres) in length. It was built at the Lürssen yard in Bremen, Germany to the design of Tim Heywood and was launched in 2003. It was briefly owned by a Saudi businessman who sold it to Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich the following year. Abramovich had it refitted to his own requirements by Blohm & Voss. This included the addition of a second helicopter pad forward, four new zero-speed stabilizers and modifications to the exhaust, mast and stern. Abramovich also owned Ecstasea, and gave away Le Grand Bleu to friend Eugene Shvidler. In 2011 he sold Pelorus to David Geffen, for approx. USD 300 million. Pelorus is powered by two 5,500-hp Wärtsilä 12v 26 engines, which will do a maximum 19 knots but often cruises between 12 to 14 knots. Details about the interiors are scant, as Abramovich is protective of his family's privacy and highly security conscious. 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.
