Russian Businessman Gets His Second Matching Yacht

The mysterious Russian businessman who ordered matching yachts is about to get his complete set. A Wisconsin newspaper, The Manitowoc Herald Times Reporter, says that Burger Boats launched the Areti II, the companion to the Areti I, on Saturday. Areti II is a 127-foot, tri-deck yacht and it will join its bookend, Areti I in St. Augustine, Florida after sea trials on Lake Michigan. Areti II will eventually be shipped off to Europe so that the Russian industrialist will have access to a yacht wherever he travels. The pair of yachts are identical except for different artwork in each and each has a cruising range of around 4,000 miles. The article also gives a clue to the reason behind the names. The owner is associated with Itera USA (Ateri is Itera backwards), a company that has interests in energy, timber and real estate. Likely candidates for the mystery owner therefore seem to be the Chairman of the Board, Igor V. Makarov or the President and CEO Raissa M. Frenkel, PhD.

Russian Businessman Gets First Of Two Matching Yachts

Another tale of Russian spending for your consumption today. The picture above is from the launch of Areti I, a new 127-foot yacht from Burger. This yacht is the first of two identical tri-deck yachts being built for the same man, a young Russian businessman who has business in two different parts of the world and wants a yacht in both places. His solution was the Areti I and the Areti II, one yacht for the U.S., Bahamas and the Caribbean and one yacht for the Mediterranean, Adriatic and Aegean seas. The interiors are designed with recessed paneled Makoré and fluted column details throughout completing a color scheme of cream, rust and brown. Both yachts have a main deck level master suite and four large guest staterooms below decks. Areti II will launch later this fall.
