Demand for the luxury in growing. One of the expanding industry is luxury boats production. New companies constantly appear offering their services in luxury boat building. Nobody had any experience first, there were no luxury boats in Soviet Russia for 70 years in a row. So some manufacturers copy their works from the Western industry, but some go their unique, Russian way, creating something looking not alike to any other, like this one made for one of the Siberian governors.

first dammit
why are you still alive?
Russian luxury boat look like a ferry in Hudson river ha ha, so cheap and nasty.
?
?????????
??????????
Yup. Tack and tasteless the credo of Russian design.
Well – for once I agree with you. It has about as much taste as a sawdust sandwich.
BTW Miss India, this is suitably rude so I know that it is definitely you. Can you confirm or deny that the relatively nice posts from you are actually you…. or not?
You are so uneducated! There is nothing on the hudson river that resemble a hi speed hydrofoil.
Oh, it is kitsch… Anyway, as a friend told me, the greatest thing about Russians richs is that they spend money with excess. Western and Latin-american millionaries just buy stocks, options, debentures and other boring stuff
This is like, the kind of industrial design they used to make in the US in the 50′s or 60′s.
It’s like all those “styling” things robert lowey used to design!
Hahhaha. Its like a Jetsons boat!! (however i never saw one in the jetsons)
, but if i would i could have looked like this)
Are they watching Lost??
Back when living in the United States and being middle class was actually desirable. Back when being American abroad gave very high status. Before the Reagan Revolution =)

This boat has a slightly different purpose, not for sea, but Siberia rivers.
That boat is a lot faster than ordinary luxury ones. That boat is designed to be indoors, maybe because it is cold, mosquitoes or engine noise.
Most probably this boat is too much on practical side, not comfort. If you look at the design from the perspective of low hanging trees, then it starts to make some sense, although still a bit funny.
Nevertheless, for those places that boat will go, it is most probably a lot better than ordinary sea vessels. The biggest problem might be a comfortable ride (engine nose, vibrations etc) but if you want a riverworthy ship for Siberia rivers, then why not buy from the locals.
HAHAHAHA LOLLIN HARD AT COUGAR SKIN
it’s like some pimp-mobile from cheesy 70′s american movie
Russians have no taste in anything, they will buy anything as long as it’s gold/shiny/looks remotely expensive. I think it’s because of the 50 years of communism, when everything was dull and grey and ugly- poor russians didn’t have time to learn what style is. I mean, really- look at putin’s plane- it’s so over the top, that you can puke just by looking at it.
nice boat inside its luxury you dont need anything more
Good old rocket turned into brothello.
“Brothello”?
My friend Bert,
The term “brothello” was developed during a “product branding” exercise done some years back by owners of houses of prostitution.
Their goal: to attract the blacks, often known to each other as “brothers.”
Their method: to adopt a creative brand name that resonates with black men, while also clearly indicating the “product” or “service/s” offered.
Their solutiojn: A witty combination of the words “brother” and “bordello,” resulting in a new, clearly identifiable, and definitely memorable brand name – brothello.
Wishing you success in “cornering the market” for your product,

ROFL @ the disturbing double entendre involving Volga =)))
Steer clear of: floating syringes, bandages, dead fish, chemical waste, raw sewage. Better reinforce the hull with some sort of protective… I don’t know.
Actually, it’s not just a boat, it’s a hydrofoil!
Maybe from the Meteor series, they are one of the largest types of river hydrofoils, we have three of them in Hungary too. They do at least 60 km/h, and in their original layout, the can carry more than 130 people.
I like the design very much, it reflects the owner’s personality, I guess. The outside decoration is very clever, they gave it an exclusive appearence without larger modifications.
Yeah, it’s a hydrofoil, probably a heavily tricked out Meteor or Voskhod class, made in Feodosia by Morye shipbuilders.
Meteors look bigger, maybe this one is Kometa, the sea-going hydrofoil?
this is obviously a modified kometa and no newbuilding like the mentioned,
sometimes ER-bloggers should investigate a little before posting
If Kometa is the Russian name for Meteor, then you’re right. Because it’s most definitely a pimped Meteor. Reference: hydrofoil.homestead.com
Voshods have slighter nose, and the wing-like boarding platforms are just as like meteor’s.
It can be a kometa also, they looks very similar, if we could see the front wings, we could decide exactly
No, my bet is still on a pimped Voskhod. Compare the second picture on this page to this photo on the shipbuilder’s site: http://morye.kafa.crimea.ua/en/eurofoil.html
Whoot I contradicted my post above. For the record, I now think it’s a Meteor, not a Voskhod. Fwiw.
boat looks nice and modern
I suppose one didn’t even have to click the link to know that there would be leopard and tiger print in abundance. It was a foregone conclusion.
looks like a hydrofoil that i’ve seen in Bratislava
As mentioned above, it is not boat, but hydrofoil. I bet this is not a new hydrofoil, just refurbished one. These were frequently seen as passenger “fast”boats in eastern block. In Slovakia, “meteors” are still in service on routes to Wienna and Budapest (on Danube): http://mujweb.cz/cestovani/lode/Dunaj-Myjava.jpg

The 1980′s called, they want their boat back.
The 1990′s called, they want their joke back.

haha so tacky with the leopard prints.
Yes it is a Meteor – and if you lost all the leopard and moo print it would be a very elegant craft. I like it.

Looks similar to the Quicksilver ship that goes between Wien and Budapest. (made in Russia 1985):

Welcome to my home, Mr Bond; of course, you will never leave it…alive!
this is clearly photoshopped, a boat with that outer design would never work out
That’s a very impressive boat! Looks like it’s photoshopped.
Looks like it’s photoshopped to me.
ah, yeah, this is my ship. if you want a cruise…
It is nice if you like this kinda thing.
But my taste differ from this boat owner.
I would have gone in a different direction
with the design of it.
And if I we’re a millionaire or billionaire
I wouldn’t waste my &&& on such things.
I don’t have such an ego. I’d use my &&&
to help the less fortunate.

Very thoughtful post.
Kudos to the Russians for building a nice new type of boat, ship or cruise ship. I love to see this kind of news instead of bad news which is hard to get away from anymore.
If you love all folks then check out Kiva, a site for investing $25.00 to poor folks trying to live a better life.
Keep that good attitude Roy! We are here for a reason and it surely isn’t hate of our neighbors near and far.
They still use these hydrofoils for small distances in the aegean. The problem is that with even a little wind, they are tied down at dock…
Still, they’re quite fast when they get going.
This looks very similar to the hull design of the Shark Bar shown in this grouping. http://englishrussia.com/?p=1357 I suspect it may be a reworked soviet era hydro-plane transport hull with all luxury appointments. Very interesting.

this is awesome
of course if u were a billionaire, u wouldnt be buying these type of boats…
u’ll be doing what Roman Abramovich did..make your own custom super yacht..
This is why Russia will be Communist again within the next 50 years. There has never been a stable middle class there. First it was a country of corrupt royalty and impoverished peasants, then it was a country of corrupt bureaucrats and impoverished peasants, now it’s a country of corrupt oligarchs/mafia and soon-to-be-peasants. Very soon, it will tilt too far out of balance again, and there will be the next Bolshevik revolution.
Expensive looking boat… nice pics.

Great boat!
Looks like something out of a James Bond movie -
“Wait, don’t you want me to talk?”
“No, Mister Bond…I want you to die!”
Not my style. Too much “Liberace” for me.
it’s very artistic!!!
I like your post and the pictures are amazing and it seems that you always have something very interesting to share. I want to comment that it has some front looks of European boats with some design like those found in Russian ones as well. I like the interior as it really impresses me and i think that the Governor of Siberia has really something that is valuable and precious even in the eyes of other. Thanks for the post…
LOOOOOVE the bedroom!
project for the weekend: redecorate!

This look so much like american 60s futurism
really amazing ship
no comment
I’m afraid my fellow Americans are not very educated on things of the machinery world.This is hi tech even though it was engineered in the late 60′s from a country that produced the mig25.So do your reserch before poking fun at it,its 30 meters in lenth and can cruise 40mph!
hi
Very beautiful
