Abramovich & Melnichenkos New Megayacht Rendezvous

Following the free-for-all his New Years blowout in St. Barths, Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich and fellow oligarch Andrei Melnichenko have motored their megayachts to Anguilla for more fun in the sun. Abramovich, who also made a stopover in Barbados en route, dominates the seascape in the Eclipse (above), his $500 million, 550-ft. behemoth built by Blohm + Voss, while Melnichenko makes do with his measly $300 million Philippe Starck-designed destroyer A. Abramovich also brought the Luna along for the ride, the 377 ft. explorer yacht he purchased last year as a sort of support yacht for the Eclipse.

All three of the enormous vessels were anchored off Meads Bay, allowing their owners easy access to Anguillas posh resorts including the Viceroy, Frangipani Beach Resort, Carimar Beach Club and Malliouhana Hotel and Spa. While its too early to say whether there are any celebrities aboard the billionaires cruisers, its worth noting that Abramovich and Melnichenko hosted the likes of Demi Moore, Martha Stewart and the Black Eyed Peas aboard their floating palaces in St. Barths. Some insiders speculate that Abramovich might be eyeing a marina development in Anguilla, which cannot currently accommodate many megayachts with existing facilities.
