Imposed sanctions on the 136-meter superyacht Flying Fox have been lifted, clearing the way for the vessel to be chartered globally. M/Y Flying Fox had U.S. sanctions removed from it after having sanctions imposed on it from Executive Order 14024 of April 15, 2021. The executive order, ordered by President Joseph Biden, “Blocking Property With Respect To Specified Harmful Foreign Activities of the Government of the Russian Federation.” On Sept. 10, 2024, The Office of Foreign Assets Control determined that circumstances no longer warrant the inclusion of M/Y Flying Fox on the Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons List under this authority. M/Y Flying Fox was sanctioned following the intensification of the war between Russia and Ukraine. The vessel’s management at the time, Imperial Yachts, was named in a statement by the U.S. Treasury after the vessel was sanctioned. M/Y Flying Fox was made available for charter with Bluewater Yachting in January 2024, but restrictions for U.S. citizens and its waters were still in place until September. M/Y Flying Fox was built by Lürssen and delivered in 2019. The 446-foot superyacht has 55 crewmembers on board, sleeps 22 guests in eight double cabins and three twin cabins, and reaches a cruising speed of 15 knots. The vessel’s charter rates are €3,000,000 a week, according to Bluewater. Images by Bluewater.
