Dilbar (Persian: دلبر, literally "Beloved") is a super-yacht launched on 14 November 2015 at the German Lürssen shipyard and delivered in 2016. She was built as Project Omar. The interior design of Dilbar was designed by Andrew Winch and the exterior by Espen Oeino.
As of 2022, Dilbar is the sixth longest yacht in the world. At 15,917 gross tonnage (GT), she is the third largest yacht by volume, after Fulk Al Salamah and REV Ocean.
The yacht is owned by a company held in a trust settled by Uzbek-Russian billionaire Alisher Usmanov. The yacht is reported to have cost $600 million, employ 84 full-time crew members, and contain the largest indoor swimming pool installed on a superyacht at 180 cubic metres. Usmanov previously owned, another, smaller yacht also named Dilbar (renamed Al Raya in 2018).




History






= Seizing by German government (2022)

=
Forbes reported that on March 2, 2022, Dilbar was seized by the German government as part of sanctions against Usmanov stemming from the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine. Dilbar was docked and undergoing refit at Blohm+Voss shipyard in Hamburg since October 2021. This was later denied by the German authorities, who clarified that the yacht was not seized, but was covered by export control sanctions, meaning that Dilbar will not be able to leave Germany without special permission. In June 2022 Dilbar was valued at "as much as $750 million."
At the beginning of the war, the Dilbar was in Hamburg at the Blohm + Voss shipyard. The ship was placed on a dry dock and should be overhauled.

The exact legal ownership of Dilbar has been obscured. In April 2022, German federal police announced they'd investigated the yacht and found the yacht belonged to Usmanov's sister, Gulbahor Ismailova who was sanctioned in April 2022. The yacht is owned by an independent trustee of an irrevocable family trust of which neither Usmanov nor his family members are beneficiaries since 2022. Usmanov’s sister Gulbahor Ismailova used to be beneficiary of the trust, but she was excluded from it after sanctions were imposed on her.




Ship and design



In April 2022, Dilbar was considered by Lürssen to be the largest motor yacht in the world by gross tonnage, measuring some 511 feet and 15,917 tons. She has two helipads and "one of the biggest indoor pools ever installed on a yacht." She was named after Alisher Usmanov's mother.
The length of the yacht is 156 m (511 ft 10 in), with a beam of 24 m (78 ft 9 in) and a draft of 6.1 m (20 ft 0 in). Dilbar features a steel displacement hull with an aluminium superstructure, and half teak decks. The ship is registered in the Cayman Islands.
