Ship tracking platforms show that the billionaire’s yachts “Eclipse” and “Solaris” are relocating to the Mediterranean, with no port destination specified.

Russian oligarch and billionaire Roman Abramovich is on the move—and so are his superyachts.

After being slapped with sanctions in response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, the billionaire was last seen on March 14 at an airport in Israel, where he has dual citizenship,  according to Reuters .

The 461-foot  Solaris  is  currently located  in the Ionian Sea off the western coast of Greece and heading south.  Solaris  was most recently at a port in Barcelona, where it had reportedly been  receiving repairs since late 2021 . The ship left without declaring a destination. However, it’s possible both  Solaris  and  Eclipse  are heading towards each other and are even eyeing ports in Israel where Abramovich is considered safe from sanctions.

Though a long-time ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin, Abramovich has denied having close ties to the Kremlin. This hasn’t stopped dozens of nations, including the US, UK and several EU countries, from implementing sanctions and asset freezes on the oligarch. The sanctions are part of a concerted multinational effort to pressure Russia’s wealthiest and most powerful individuals to help bring Russia’s war on Ukraine to an end.

Abramovich is just one of many Russian billionaires who are moving their pricey assets to avoid seizure by international authorities. This week, Italian police seized Russian oligarch Andrey Melnichenko’s 486-foot  Sailing Yacht A,  and earlier this month, France impounded the yacht  Amore Vero , owned by Russian oil billionaire Igor Sechin. Other Russian billionaires have had their yachts impounded in other EU countries, as well. Russians own up to  10 percent of the world’s megayachts , so Abramovich isn’t the only billionaire facing the prospect of having his prized vessels seized.

This isn’t the first time Russian oligarchs’ whereabouts have been made public. Florida teen Jack Sweeney, who once tracked Elon Musk’s jet, created  a Twitter account —@RUOligarchJets—dedicated to tracking the private jets of Russian oligarchs, which is updated daily.
