Putin’s yacht is currently being investigated by authorities for possible Russian ties.

Let’s take a look at the boat’s unique features and multi-purpose capabilities…

A closer look…

“It’s like a mini city… there are countless swimming pools, a spa, a sauna, a theatre, ballrooms, a gym, two helipads.”

This yacht is massive, even larger than Jeff Besos‘. There is a 16-foot aquarium on the inside because, of course, when you’re near the water, you want to watch fish. Because the pool table is self-leveling, guests may enjoy a fun game of pool even in rough waters. The attention to detail on this yacht is astounding, especially the tile dance floor that changes into a pool. Each bathroom onboard has gold faucets and toilet paper holders. A judo studio decked out with black belts and images showcasing the politician’s wealth adds a personal touch.

Is Putin’s yacht multipurpose?

We regret to inform you that this boat serves as more than just party entertainment. It has the ability to turn into a battleship at will and is outfitted with cutting-edge security technologies. Inside sources claim that this device is capable of shooting down drones. Why would it be necessary for this yacht to also function as a weapon?

Unfortunately for Putin, his boat is currently docked in an Italian port, where police have seized it for further examination.
