A key feature of Chef Papayiannis’ menus is fresh seafood. Popular dishes might include freshly caught lobster baked with hollandaise sauce served with sweet potatoes and green apple, or healthy salads packed with flavour, such as scallop, tuna, tomato and fresh herbs finished with a zingy lime dressing. Whatever the mood, Chef Papagiannis always rises to the occasion whether he’s catering laid-back brunches with classic favourites or formal dining and celebratory feasts.

For a sophisticated evening the main deck is the ideal setting for up to 16 guests, while the upper aft deck is the perfect spot for al fresco meals. Elevating the entire experience, Chef Papayiannis and O’Pari ’s interior crew are also renowned for their immaculate table settings to complement the theme of each menu.

U.S. Eyes $156 Million Yacht in Dubai Linked to a Russian Oligarch

The U.S. Justice Department is taking steps to seize the Madame Gu, a 324-foot luxury yacht, but it will be diplomatically thorny.

• Share full article

By Kate Kelly ,  Michael Forsythe and Julian E. Barnes

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates — On a clear morning in late October, the jewel-blue hull of the Madame Gu, one of the world’s most luxurious superyachts, gleamed, its aluminum rails shimmering in the sun. Workers on the pier said they had recently seen people painting, cleaning and generally keeping the ship with its helipad and six guest staterooms in pristine condition.

In past years, such a scene would not have been noteworthy. Many superyachts come and go from Dubai’s Mina Rashid Marina, best known as the home of the Queen Elizabeth 2, the trans-Atlantic ocean liner-turned-hotel that dominates the waterfront here.

But Russia’s war in Ukraine has turned an otherwise routine tableau into a diplomatic battleground between the United States and the United Arab Emirates, an important American ally that has established itself as a safe haven for Russian money and assets out of the reach of U.S. sanctions.

The $156 million Madame Gu epitomizes the problem. In June, the United States designated the vessel, which is linked to Andrei Skoch, a Russian steel magnate and lawmaker under sanctions, as blocked property. That means the yacht cannot use American companies for its upkeep, employ U.S. citizens or even use the dollar. The Justice Department is now taking steps to seize the Madame Gu, according to people with knowledge of the plan.

But the United States can’t seize property in a sovereign nation without permission from its government. The Emirates, which has taken a friendlier position toward Moscow, is balking at cooperating with the United States to pursue oligarchs, American officials said. The Kremlin is also using oligarch-controlled companies in the Emirates to acquire war supplies that the West is trying to keep out of Russia’s reach, according to a Western official involved in the sanctions effort against Russia.

Emirati officials did not comment specifically on the Madame Gu but said in a statement that they took their role “protecting the integrity of the global financial system extremely seriously.”

A closer examination of Russian assets in the Emirates shows that even before the war in Ukraine, Dubai had become a playground for Russians with links to President Vladimir V. Putin. At least 38 businessmen or officials with ties to the Russian president own homes in Dubai that are collectively valued at more than $314 million, according to the Center for Advanced Defense Studies. Five of those owners are under U.S. sanctions.

Since the Russian invasion, Dubai has established itself as a safe haven for Russian yachts and aircraft unable to sail or fly elsewhere. After Russian jets were barred from the European Union in late February, the Emirates became the destination for 14 percent of all private flights leaving Russia, up from 3 percent before the invasion.

“It’s frustrating when you see huge assets that are sitting out there and it appears that the country is not cooperating,” said Senator Sheldon Whitehouse, Democrat of Rhode Island, referring to the Emirates. “It would be nice if there were more common cause against Putin while he’s busy shelling hospitals and schools.”

Mr. Whitehouse is sponsoring legislation that would use proceeds of the sales of seized Russian assets to help rebuild Ukraine. Senior officials at the Treasury and State Departments have also complained publicly about the situation.

U.S. officials view the presence of superyachts in places like Dubai and Bodrum, Turkey , as a symptom of wider Russian circumvention of sanctions and continued access to financial markets. Yachts have also come to symbolize the decadence of Russia’s oligarchs, especially at a time when Russian soldiers are scrounging for body armor and sleeping bags on the front lines.

Pursuing the Madame Gu

Built by the Dutch firm Feadship and put into service in 2013, the Madame Gu has a large helicopter pad on its forecastle with a hangar underneath that can double as a squash court when the chopper isn’t on board. The vessel has berthing for 36 crew members, according to one trade magazine.

Mr. Skoch, a member of Russia’s Parliament who is linked to assets worth billions of dollars, according to U.S. court filings, has had sanctions imposed on him twice by the United States, first in 2018 and then after Russia’s invasion this year. The Treasury Department has cited his “longstanding ties to Russian organized criminal groups.”

Mr. Skoch could not be reached and did not respond to messages left at his office at Parliament.

In an interview in October about the government’s broader efforts to go after the assets of oligarchs, Andrew Adams, a federal prosecutor leading the Department of Justice’s KleptoCapture task force, declined to discuss the Madame Gu. But the United States, he said, is warning companies they must not do business with individuals and assets under sanctions. The government, he said, will pursue oligarch-owned assets whose sale could be used to aid Ukraine.

“Where we know there is an asset that can potentially provide significant remuneration for Ukraine, that obviously is an attractive case to pursue,” he said.

U.S. officials are likely to use the case they made for impounding a $90 million Airbus business jet linked to Mr. Skoch in August as a blueprint for seizing the Madame Gu, said people familiar with the plan.

That means investigators will aim to show that the owner of the vessel, or the companies that have been providing services to it, have intersected with the U.S. financial system.

“If there are U.S. dollars or a U.S. nexus associated with supporting this vessel, massive enforcement actions could take place,” said Adam M. Smith, a former official overseeing sanctions at the Treasury Department. Companies that provide support to entities under sanctions could potentially face their own sanctions, said Mr. Smith, who is now a lawyer at Gibson Dunn in Washington.

This year the United States has carried out two high-profile seizures of yachts tied to Russians under sanctions, working with cooperative governments. The $300 million Amadea was taken in Fiji in May and sailed to San Diego under an American flag. In April, the United States worked with Spanish police to seize the $90 million Tango.

A Problematic Partner

Diplomatically, the Emirates has been reluctant to take a clear anti-Russian position when it comes to the war in Ukraine. Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, president of the United Arab Emirates, recently met with Mr. Putin in St. Petersburg, and the Emirati foreign minister recently hosted his Russian counterpart. Yet Sheikh Mohammed has also talked with Volodymyr Zelensky, the president of Ukraine, more than once and recently gave the country $100 million in humanitarian aid.

The United States has publicly expressed dismay over the mixed messages.

During a visit to Dubai in June, Wally Adeyemo, the U.S. deputy treasury secretary, warned of the need for vigilance and proactive steps in combating Russian evasion. That same month Barbara Leaf, the State Department’s under secretary for Near East Affairs, said at a congressional hearing that regarding the Emirates, she was “not happy at all with the record at this point” on sanctions enforcement. Mr. Adeyemo reiterated his concerns in a meeting with Emirati officials in October in Washington.

A senior State Department official said in a statement to The New York Times that the agency continues “to reinforce the importance of conducting enhanced due diligence to prevent sanctions evasion and investigating allegations of such activity” to the Emirates.

The Treasury Department declined to comment on the Madame Gu or the relationship with the Emirates.

Last month, the Treasury Department announced it had placed sanctions on an Emirates-based company, Constellation Advisors Ltd., that the American government said was operating on behalf of a nephew of another Russian oligarch, Suleiman Kerimov. Mr. Kerimov, according to American court documents, was the owner of the Amadea superyacht .

American officials are also worried the Russian government is using the Emirates to acquire military supplies for its war in Ukraine. On Nov. 15, the Treasury Department imposed sanctions on two Emirates-based transportation firms that had worked with another Iranian firm under sanctions, which in turn had helped transport drones and personnel from Iran to Russia.

Moored in Dubai

Based on a recent visit to Dubai’s Mina Rashid Marina , where the Madame Gu is moored, it is clear that international companies are playing a critical role in its care.

The Emirates-based company DP World, through its subsidiary P&O Marinas , oversees the pier where the Madame Gu is moored. Employees from another DP World subsidiary , World Security, staff the small guard box at the entrance. That makes DP World, which is owned by Dubai’s royal family, potentially vulnerable to American sanctions.

DP World “fully complies with all applicable local and national laws and intends to continue doing the same regarding the Madame Gu and other vessels utilizing our services,” said Adal Mirza, a spokesman for the company. He added that DP World had not yet heard from the United States or other countries that had placed Mr. Skoch under sanctions, including Britain and the European Union.

A generator set that dock workers said in late October was powering the Madame Gu — two container-like structures near its stern — bore the distinctive orange logo of Aggreko , a British company. The generator set was connected to the superyacht by thick cords; one of the containers was emitting grayish exhaust.

At the Mina Rashid Marina, soon after Aggreko was contacted by The Times, workers removed the generator. “Having identified that the generator was being used to power a vessel that is allegedly connected to a sanctioned person, we immediately terminated this rental and have since recovered the generator,” the company said in a statement.

Mr. Mirza, the DP World spokesman, said the Aggreko generator had been replaced with one from a local supplier.

P&O Marinas arranged for the diesel generator to provide power for the Madame Gu because that part of the pier, a holding area, has no shore-supplied electric power, said a port official in Dubai, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because he is not authorized to talk to the press.

“At the end of the day, if the U.A.E. hasn’t imposed sanctions, it’s not really their job to enforce other countries’ laws within their borders,” said Nabeel Yousef, a Washington-based partner at the law firm Freshfields, where he runs the sanctions practice. Nevertheless, “companies should not take comfort in the fact that their country has not imposed sanctions,” he added, “because even the smallest connection to the U.S. can lead to U.S. penalties.”

There has also been a notable absence onboard the Madame Gu in recent weeks: a flag. Unlike other ships moored nearby, including the Quantum Blue, a superyacht linked to the billionaire Sergei Galitsky, the Madame Gu appears to be stateless, apparently having been deflagged by the Cayman Islands.

Cayman Islands officials didn’t respond to an emailed inquiry about the ship’s status.

If DP World were to face fallout from U.S. sanctions enforcers, it wouldn’t be the first time the company has been the focus of attention in Washington. In 2006, DP World was seeking to manage some terminal operations at six American ports but dropped out of the deal after a bipartisan uproar in Congress.

Our Coverage of the War in Ukraine

News and Analysis

For residents of Ukraine’s second-largest city, daily Russian attacks have escalated fears  but have not brought life to a standstill. Here’s how a battered city  carries on.

The authorities in Poland and Germany have arrested at least five of their citizens  and accused them of spying for Russia or of offering to help Moscow commit violence on European soil, including a “possible attack” on the president of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky.

The drone combat in Ukraine that is transforming modern warfare has begun taking a deadly toll on one of the most powerful symbols  of American military might — the tank — and threatening to rewrite how it will be used in future conflicts.

Resuming U.S. Military Aid: Weapons from the support package, considered “a lifeline” for Ukraine’s military , could be arriving on the battlefield within days . But experts say it could take weeks before there is a direct impact on the war . What would $60 billion buy ?

World Military Spending: The world spent more on military costs and weapons in 2023  than it had in 35 years, driven in part by the war in Ukraine and the threat of an expanded Russian invasion, according to an independent analysis.

New American Technology: Project Maven was meant to revolutionize modern warfare. But the conflict in Ukraine has underscored  how difficult it is to get 21st-century data into 19th-century trenches.

On-Board  O'PARI 3

• Share this on Facebook
• Share this on X
• Share via Email

By Editorial Team | 18th Jul 2016

The largest yacht in attendance at this year’s Mediterranean Yacht Show, the 72m/236ft motor yacht ‘O’pari 3’ looked every part the leading lady as she sat among the beautiful surroundings of Nafplio, Greece.

Perfectly at home in her native waters, O’Pari 3 is the largest yacht to date from Golden Yachts, the Greek shipyard responsible for the award-winning 40m/130ft motor yacht ‘O’Pati’ as well the similarly celebrated 53m/173ft motor yacht O’NEIRO’.

With superyachts extending to her left and forward, O’PARI 3 was unquestionably holding court at the  Mediterranean Yacht Show 2016 .

After being warmly greeted by her large and experienced crew, the team at YachtCharterFleet stepped on board to familiarise themselves with Greece’s most talked about export.

Entering the main salon from the stern, the ambition of the yacht could not be more obvious- from an assortment of engaging artworks, to an abundance of comfortable Fendi furnishings to accommodate large parties with room to spare, it's clear that O’PARI 3 is a superyacht designed with the modern charterer firmly in mind.

Stylish, yet full of substance, the artful use of onyx and marble establishes not only character but ambience; it’s not just a distinct aesthetic being introduced in the main salon, but also a welcoming impression.

The intricate and colorful paintings, for example, are seriously pleasing on the eyes, whilst the thoughtfully placed seating reveals an attention for function which underlies the entire design philosophy of Giorgio Vafiadis.

Optimising the space available in the main salon, the television which typically divides this area from the formal dining has been opened up through the addition of a retractable unit.

When guests desire some extra room, they can simply lower the screen via an ipad and essentially double up on the available space. A simple, yet incredibly effective touch.

The dining table itself is flanked by two large windows to allow plenty of natural light to spill in during the day whilst a collection of recessed lights take care of accentuating the arrangement during the evening.

Proceeding through the interior of luxury yacht O’PARI 3 for the first time is not dissimilar to visiting a trendy cosmopolitan art gallery, and that’s because, in effect, that’s exactly what you are doing.

All commissioned by a single Greek artist, the work on show ranges through moods and materials, forms and traditions. Whilst in the first corridor guests find themselves drawn to a large pop art piece, in the gymnasium immediately to the port side, a canvas fitted with short red spikes is sure to have them doubly intrigued.

To describe the artwork as eclectic would be something of a disservice- the sheer variety on offer serves to complement the playfulness of the yacht’s broader design.

With an abundance of dedicated spaces found throughout, superyacht O’PARI 3 puts her size to incredible use

Whilst a gym is to be expected of a superyacht larger than 70m, it’s clear that special attention has been provided to the one located on the main deck of O’PARI 3.

Due to being delivered in June of last year, the equipment in this area is completely state of the art and allows for comprehensive workouts no matter what regime the charterer may be undertaking.

Breaking up the paneling with a mirrored wall, the space also provides the illusion of being much larger than it is as well as lending itself to activities such as yoga and aerobics.

Stepping through the foyer on the way through to a master suite at the fore, guests encounter a large nautical compass arranged in the marble flooring- an appropriate motif which recurs elsewhere with subtle variations.

What is perhaps most fetching about this particular area, however, is the figure of a man submerging himself into the wall as though it were water. Consistent with the modern flourishes found elsewhere, this feature nicely enhances the unique experience of being on board O’PARI 3.

The illuminated spiral staircase which connects all the interior guest decks is immediately to the left of this sculpture, and is even broader than might be expected of a yacht of this size.

The first of the three master cabins on O’PARI 3 is found on the main deck, and has the attractive addition of a fixed balcony to starboard.

Finished with a neutral palette, the full-beam suite is refreshing and tastefully modern, with his and hers bathrooms decorated with impressive toffee coloured marblework.

Exuding its own distinct personality, this master cabin is the largest of the three, with the other two situated on the upper deck and aft section of the bridge deck respectively.

Ultimately, the decision to include a number of master cabins of a similar stature makes chartering with large groups consisting of various families that bit more desirable.

Combining character with a dynamic layout, O’PARI 3 is in every respect the realisation of the perfect charter yacht

The second master suite found on the upper deck benefits from wraparound windows and doors providing convenient access to the exterior.

In this sense, guests using this suite are able to enjoy the luxury of a private terrace should they wish, or simply indulge in having such close proximity to the amenities found outdoors.

Once again, the artwork found above the bed endows the space with its own character whilst remaining compatible with the broader themes at work inside O’PARI 3.

A more casual alternative to the main salon, the upper salon of O’PARI 3 is something of a monochrome masterpiece.

Accented by the accompaniment of engaging artwork, this communal space also includes a bar to the port side- an ideal fixture for getting some cocktails in.

Surrounded by generously sized windows, guests are able to take in ocean panoramas whilst socialising or have a movie shown on the large screen after dark.

Ultimately, just as the many master cabins offer charterers a number of choices when it comes to sleeping, the various social spaces provide a range of unique environments when it comes to spending time together.

Tastefully modern and replete with all of the necessary features, O’PARI 3 could not be better primed for luxury yacht charter vacations

Fringed by a collection of sunpads, the Jacuzzi out on the exterior is superbly proportioned and it’s easy to imagine how complete parties could gather in style beneath the sun.

Due to being placed at the fore of the upper deck, hours can be passed taking in oceanic panoramas whilst enjoying freshly prepared drinks from the bar an arm’s length away.

In this way, the area serves as a truly luxurious observation platform for charterers to indulge when not island hopping around O’PARI 3’s cruising grounds.

Whilst the expectations of the exterior were large, the reality was in fact much greater than the team had imagined.

Putting all of the available space to incredible use, O’PARI 3 is clearly as committed to providing options outdoors as she is indoors.

More specifically, whether it’s al fresco dining, sunbathing, or socialising, charterers have a number of dedicated spaces in which to enjoy these things.

Checking out the tender garage, it was blatantly obvious just how far O’PARI 3 goes to ensure that every guest has fun whilst away on charter.

Stealing the attention of the team, the new Seadogs and assortment of scuba gear got the twice over, with the consensus that the collection could not be better suited to Greece.

What’s more, due to the strength of the yachting infrastructure Greece, any desired toys can be acquired with sufficient notice.

Featuring a fixed rather than retractable swim platform, guests on board O’PARI 3 have convenient access to the extraordinary range of tenders and toys on offer as well as plenty of space to dry off in the sun.

Stepping through to the beach club, however, opens up an entire world of possibilities.

Perfectly symmetrical, this communal area includes sofa seating on either side with a wet bar just a short distance away- just the thing to return to after being out on the water for a few hours.

Due to the tenders being stored amidships, this area is much larger than might be expected, and the designers have taken advantage of the greater square footing to include spa facilities further towards the fore of O’PARI 3

Contributing to the other wellness aspects of O’PARI 3, both the massage parlour and steam room provide charterers the opportunity to totally unwind.

Whilst such amenities might be expected of such a sizable superyacht, the way they’ve been carried out is just as impressive as her other standout features.

Indeed, as dedicated spaces, they succeed purely because they have received the same amount of attention as the finer details.

Naturally, after concluding our tour of O’PARI 3, the team’s conversation once again turned to the question: does size matter?

Whilst something of an eternal debate, O’PARI 3 certainly goes someway towards suggesting that the effective use of large spaces can lead to a charter yacht which appeals to every kind of guest.

Indeed, she is a yacht which is defined by the number of options on offer, and the consistent quality of her interior and exterior spaces.

5 things to know about North Palm Beach mega-yacht owner, billionaire Michael Bozzuto

Billionaire Michael Bozzuto is fighting for the right to moor his 164-foot mega-yacht behind a waterfront house he owns at 932 Shore Dr. in North Palm Beach.

But the Village of North Palm Beach has told Bozzuto he doesn't have this right.

It's the latest example of how big money landing in Florida is running up against Old Florida residents who want their communities to stay low-key.

After years of disputes over the yacht, Bozzuto recently filed a lawsuit against the municipality, asking a judge to agree that he has the right to the use of his house and his dock.

Who is Michael Bozzuto, and why is he suing the Village of North Palm Beach?

Here are five things to know:

1. Billionaire Michael Bozzuto is a longtime North Palm Beach resident

Bozzuto is the billionaire owner of a privately held, family-owned supermarket wholesaler in Connecticut called Bozzuto's Inc. The company is a distributor of food and household products to retailers in New England, New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania. Bozzuto's was founded by Michael's late father, Adam.

Even though Bozzuto's Inc. is based in Connecticut, Bozzuto has lived in the Village of North Palm Beach, population 13,000, for 20 years.

2. Besides owning a yacht, what are Michael Bozzuto's hobbies?

In addition to being a businessman, Bozzuto is an investor and philanthropist. He is a longtime supporter of the Special Olympics.

He is also an under-the-radar resident who likes to collect houses and yachts, said his lawyer, former Florida Bar president Gregory Coleman.

Bozzuto bought the motor yacht, Honey, about 10 years ago for an undisclosed sum. The Westport mega-yacht was built in 2007 and is the largest of several yachts Bozzuto owns.

Bozzuto also owns four houses in the Village of North Palm Beach. This includes the house at 932 Shore Dr., where he wants to dock Honey. In 2014, Bozzuto paid $840,247 for the house, which was built in 1961, according to Palm Beach County property records.

The property is on a rare corner bordered on the north and east by navigable waters that provide access to the Atlantic Ocean via the Lake Worth Inlet. The east-facing dock is large enough to accommodate Honey.

Bozzuto's residence is in another part of North Palm Beach, on Harbour Isles Court.

3. Michael Bozzuto's net worth isn't known but billionaire owns property outside of North Palm Beach, too

Bozzuto made waves recently when in January he paid $31.1 million for a waterfront house in nearby Palm Beach Shores.

The Singer Island house with two docks stretches into the Intracoastal Waterway just north of the Palm Beach/Lake Worth Inlet. The three-lot parcel on 1.5 acres has about 200 feet of waterfront.

The property was bought from an owner whose family had owned it for decades. It's unclear if Bozzuto will make any changes to the property.

In a brief interview in February, Bozzuto said: “It’s a house, and it will probably be a house."

4. Why can't Bozzuto park his yacht behind his North Palm Beach house?

The Village of North Palm Beach rules say that a private dock or pier can only be used by the occupant of the house. But the village doesn't define the word "occupant."

Bozzuto's lawsuit said while the village has discussed whether to define an occupant as a resident, it never has done so.

Hundreds of other property owners dock a boat behind their North Palm Beach house but do not live there year-round.

Therefore Bozzuto said he's being singled out because neighbors just don't like his boat's big size. This selective enforcement is wrong, his lawsuit said.

5. What does North Palm Beach think about the lawsuit?

Unfortunately, this is a mystery until the village responds to Bozzuto's lawsuit in public court records.

The village's longtime lawyer, Lenard Rubin, who knows the municipality's history with boats and houses, did not respond to requests for comment. Neither did the village's manager, Chuck Huff.
