Prior to the implementation of Sanctions on Russia after the invasion of Ukraine, this beautiful Italian port, was home to a number of superyachts owned by Russians whom are now on those US, EU and UK sanctions lists.
This included M/Y Universe allegedly owned by Dmitry Medvedev, the former Russian President. A source close to the vessel once saying it was owned by a ‘very high up Russian politician’. This yacht left rather luckily one day before the early morning raids by Italian Guarda di Finanza (iItalian Financial police) on another yacht in the marina. Universe fled to Turkey, being one of the first to do so and seemingly set a trend for other Russian owned boats to follow.
Other boats that call Imperia home for most of the year are M/Y Galaxy of Happiness owned by God Nisanov now Sanctioned by the US, this yacht has been seemingly towed from the Med to Turkey in the last few days. Another yacht, the 72 metre or 236 feet M/Y Predator owned by IKSANDER MAKHMUDOV who is not currently on any sanctions lists. However his vessel, which is almost always berthed here has not broadcast on AIS for almost 3 months and her last known location depsite saying Rhodes in Greece on Marine Traffic shows the vessel next to a swimming pool in a house in Corsica!
M/Y Clio 72 m 238 Feet Lurssen owned by Oleg Deripaska also usually enjoys Imperia’s coastline, however at the time of the Invasion of Ukraine she was in the Maldives. After a month she transited the Suez Canal to Turkey and headed to Russia via the Bosperas, turning off her AIS as soon as she cleared the strait. She has been seen on satellite coverage in a marina near Sochi.
Most of the vessels left prior to a string of arrests by the Italian authorities but this one, M/Y Lady M did not. Lady M was arrested along with another vessel M/Y Lena in San Remo an hour down the coast. Lady M is owned by Alexei Mordashov, one of the richest men in Russia making much of his money from the Steel Industry. Mr Mordashov though does not own just one yacht, and in fact his other yacht is much larger than this one and that vessel fled sanctions, but to Vladivostok in Russia. His other yacht being M/Y Nord.

I’ve been a follower of your channel for quite some time now-multiple years. I enjoyed your old content as much as I do the new but wow… I must say, you’ve really stepped up your game. This video was beautiful! Thank you.
2:36 "shows the vessel next to a swimming pool in a house in Corsica" Well ... that makes sense ... OBVIOUSLY it's not going to fit IN the swimming pool ! B-)
Undercover investigative research at its finest! Impressive job being discreet enough to get such great images and video!
This was really a beautiful production! It ads significant polish to your already great videos. 💕
The background dramatic music is perfect in conveying the message that war is not just about bombs and military supremacy but affects entire industries and all those working in them. North America is mostly shielded from this devastating calamity. Thank you for bringing forward the impact suffered by the personnel working on this vessels.

At first blush you think "I have a super yacht; I can go where ever I want, survive a war or pandemic - it's perfect!". But something as simple as paying for food, fuel, crew - suddenly they are quite fragile; vulnerable to the smallest supply chain glitch.

This video quality is excellent. I have a DJI but it shakes so this drone must be a high quality drone for stable shots like this. Looks like cinematography.

The biggest boat I ever cleaned was 65 feet. It took 2 of us 2 weeks to do and it looked pretty clean when we started. Keep those sneakers tied up tight 007. It would suck if you went to jail and couldn't make these great videos. PS. That place is spectacular. I would be happy to spend time there in a dinghy. Thanks
Wow! This is becoming an Hitchcock-ian, sort of suspense...and I predict this will be a very big movie one day. It could even surpass the Titanic, if well scripted. Just my opinion...I am glued to this channel, and I don't even own a boat!:)) Love the intrigue...Thank you Sir, for the great, honest reporting. You are doing an excellent job:)⚓
My sailing yacht is in Imperia and I have been on the boat most days from mid June to early July. There were some crew onboard Lady M and I have seen light maintenance work being done. The security car is manned 24/7.

The somber tone of the music score at the end could almost give one the impression that all the crews were "lost at sea".

Great job on this episode. Thanks for details on the number of super yachts and % of the global fleet. I was going to ask if you could do some numbers to give context of how many and owned by country.
Now that was different. Great video 👍
Fantastic production, what a beautiful place! I’ll put a word in for another area of unintended consequences, all the AV guys and Crestron control system programmers that either haven’t been paid or have had contracts cancelled.
eSysman I love your videos , been watching for a while and I love the way this was done my friend !! This one was different and it was great !!
Those drone shots are just amazing!
This production you and your crew worked on did a phenomenal job. You had me anchored throughout every part of this video.
Any idea whether the security was associated with the owner watching the yacht, vs the government watching the yacht after arresting it?

WOW! You really put a lot of thought and work into this video! You remind me of the Famous Englishman David Attenborough who does the animal documentaries.
Thank you for the excellent coverage!
The investigative journalist style of this was epic Esysman. You should tell those boat owners to wash their filthy yachts too! That’s the only law I see being broken - fail to wash down mega yacht.
It's easy to overlook the innocent crew who are just doing honest work but it does suggest that if one wants to work in the industry it might be best for job security to consider to the degree possible who one is working for. Sadly the degree possible may not be much until you've already signed papers. Great work as always eSysman, best in the business on your topic.

I do not feel sorry for any crew that were working for terrorists, directly or indirectly. They should research who they are working for. As for companies making money from terrorists, I don't feel sorry for them either. I hope they get the other boats. To end my comment on a positive note, that really was an awesome video and put together well.

Thanks, you did make me reflect on this some more. I guess I feel a little sorry for the crew. Sometimes it is hard to find out the type of person/company you want to work for. Especially in this age of media where you never know who is telling the truth or what the truth is. Although it's kinda easy to see what's happening in Ukraine. Curious if they would have quit or if they would work for the same person again? I would hope that if it was myself, I would have quit or never worked for them again.
Love the “ Hunt for Red October “ sound effect..
Nicely done! Music, aspect ratio and editing. A fun departure from your norm.
Very good Detective work. Sorry about all the crew and follow on personnel that will be affected. The large yachts will hurt more, because they require more specialized facilities / personnel. On the other hand it is very revealing that a high percentage of the 295+ Yachts are Russian owned - seems to reinforce the idea that the funding of these vessels is not from clean money. Lurssen will just have to make money building less than 295" foot SY.
Those opening shots, straight out of a Bond film. Bravo dude.
An interesting new format for your videos. I like it.
I don't think a little bit of discomfort for the super yacht industry or a few crew losing their jobs are cause for concern or even afforded any consideration .Innocent people who didn't have a great deal to begin with are being killed and left destitute by the arrogant ruthless gangsters that own these crass symbols of wealth. Perhaps the sanctioned vessels could be sold to help those unfortunate Ukrainians.

Does the beauty of the towns and cities that are home to the marinas you visit get old?
The yacht next to Lady M, is the yacht from the show“Below Deck” a few seasons ago.
I cant be the only one that teared up from the intro music. I love opera...*sniff* *sniff*. I'm not crying! Thats from the coke! On a more serious note, are these crew members able to easily find new jobs? Whats the supply and demand like for yachties??
Life rafts seem to be missing too. And was the crew member just washing the TV dish to ensure he had something to watch later?
I loved this approach you took, it added so much to your reporting. I feel from the workers on these ships, it gas to be a strain on them and ism pretty sure they are just a ticked off at Putin, like the rest. I would love to see the interior of Lady M.
A great, informative video. Thanks.

That is such an outstanding tagline I have to mention it, "If you're not the paying customer, you are the product.", true, concise, and even kinda entertaining. My compliments to whoever is responsible for that little gem. They are all stunning vessels and I am certain that I could quickly develop the habit of enjoying coffee in the early morning air on an open deck. I have never washed a yacht of their size and calibre and I realize that efficient methods and procedures would be employed, so I am wondering how long would it reasonably take to complete that task? I'll never forget the first time I ever "waxed" a cruiser, it was my buddy and myself and it was done completely by hand, no electric polisher on that job! Haahaaa! If I recall correctly it was a 12 metre ~ 40-foot Chris Craft and it was sitting in the marina yard. We truly had no idea what we were getting ourselves into hahaaa! It did sparkle and shine by the end of the day though. The bit at the end that mentions some of the effects felt by sanctions also lists some of the reasons that I kinda expected the invasion to be over by now. I thought that the oligarchs would quickly grow weary of their world grinding to a sudden stop as well as others such as people in the military and citizens not wanting the war and not wanting to lose any more people and a million other reasons. I expected some of them to quietly form a group and deliver the Julius Caesar treatment to Vladimir Putin. It could certainly still happen, but I did think it might have happened by now. Even if that did take place it doesn't necessarily mean that the invasion would stop. What a mess. Great reporting, as usual, I appreciate your efforts. Thank you!
Thanks for everything you've done this far... It's sad for all who lost their jobs... Sadly it's not Their fault who they worked for.. Thanks for being our "Person" I appreciate you!!
enjoyed that one. production was brilliant.
It looks like the "cradles" that would hold the liferaft drums are empty on both sides. Why would that be?
I half expected a Bond opening chase scene to begin 30 seconds in.
A very professional presentation as usual The music back ground is beautiful and quite moving, thanks.
Love the new video style. Very James Bond! 🙂
You could easily combine some of these features on KZread into a compelling documentary about how sanctions are impacting the yachting industry. Perhaps some affected crew would agree to be interviewed if image / voice scrambled.
Another Great episode thanks for all your hard work eSysman. It's sad so many have lost job's but it's even sadder that so many innocents people have died in the war Russia started.
I love those documentary style videos of yours… please continue those very high up standart videos… awesome once.
I feel very sad for the crews of these beautiful vessels who have lost their jobs through sanctions. Whilst it is difficult for the Russian yacht owners, I think they are better able to weather the sanctions than the little people. I have some questions about the Ensign, is it flown whilst at sea or only in port? Why is it only flown between 8am and 8pm?
@stevebarlow3154
2 жыл бұрын
It is based on the traditions of the Royal Navy. They used to fly the White Ensign 24 hours a day, whether they were at sea or in port. Then a civil servant realised that there was no need to fly the ensign at night as it couldn't be seen. And by doing so would prolong the life of the ensign and save money! So the Royal Navy lowered the ensign at sunset and raised it at sunrise. Civilian vessels then adopted the practice too.
Your Production Crew really stepped up!!!!
