Yacht Lady Gulya Owner

We received several messages that her original owner is related to the Ukrainian logistics company TIS.

We also received a more specific message, that her owner was Alexey Fedorychev. And not to our surprise he is (or was) the majority shareholder of this company name TIS. And we found online articles stating that he is building a large yacht.  (And that he chartered large yachts in the past).

We were also told that her owner defaulted on the purchase contract. And that the yacht was subsequently repossessed by Lurssen. She was later listed for sale, asking EUR 275,000,000. In 2020 she was reported sold and was sent to Lurssen in Germany for a refit.

Alisher Usmanov

The yacht’s owner is (probably) Alisher Usmanov, although we did link the yacht to Andrey Skoch.

Immediately after she was sold, we received messages that Tis was bought by Usmanov. He reportedly needed a temporary replacement for his yacht Dilbar, as Dilbar was going to have a big (8 months) refit.

This scenario is still possible (in December 2020). But then we expect Dilbar to move to Germany soon.

Doubt

We are a bit in doubt, however, since the new hull color of Lady Gulya is not similar to Dilbar’s color. And her superstructure is not fully painted, as with Dilbar.

Also, we expected Ona, as a new name and not Lady Gulya.

Andrey Skoch

There has been another Lady Gulya in the past. That was Andrei Skoch‘s yacht GU, which was renamed Lady Gulya when his new yacht Madame Gu was delivered. However, we were told, that Skoch sold the yacht before she was named Lady Gulya.

The German newspaper Bild, did mention Skoch as the owner of Lady Gulya.

We are still a bit in doubt, but probably the yacht is either owned by Usmanov or Andrey Skoch. They are business partners through investment vehicle USM Holdings.
