Dilbar is a luxury super-yacht launched on November 14, 2015, at the German Lürssen shipyard, and delivered in 2016. Originally designated as Project Omar, the vessel boasts a length of approximately 156 meters (511 feet 10 inches), with a beam of 24 meters (78 feet 9 inches) and a draft of 6.1 meters (20 feet). Its hull is constructed from steel with an aluminium superstructure, and the decks feature half teak material, combining durability with aesthetic appeal. The yacht's design includes two helipads, emphasizing its capability for private air transport. With a gross tonnage of 15,917 GT, Dilbar was, as of 2022, the sixth-longest yacht in the world and the third largest by volume, surpassed only by Fulk Al Salamah and REV Ocean. She is notable for housing the largest indoor swimming pool installed on a superyacht, with a capacity of 180 cubic meters, reflecting her emphasis on luxury and onboard amenities. The interior was designed by Andrew Winch, while Espen Oeino crafted her exterior appearance, contributing to her striking presence on the water. Dilbar is owned by a trust associated with Uzbek-Russian billionaire Alisher Usmanov, although the exact ownership details have been obscured amid legal and political developments. The yacht was reported to have cost around $600 million and employs approximately 84 full-time crew members. She also features two helipads, enhancing her capabilities for private transportation. In 2022, Dilbar became entangled in international sanctions related to the Russian invasion of Ukraine. She was docked at the Blohm+Voss shipyard in Hamburg for an overhaul and refit, with reports indicating she was seized or subject to export restrictions by German authorities, though official clarification stated she was not formally seized. The vessel was valued at up to $750 million and was linked to investigations concerning ownership, which was ultimately attributed to Usmanov's sister, Gulbahor Ismailova, who was sanctioned in April 2022. Throughout her service, Dilbar has exemplified the grandeur and technical sophistication of modern superyachts, combining immense size, luxury, and advanced features.
