As of 2020, Dilbar is the sixth longest yacht in the world. At 15,917 gross tonnage (GT), she is the third largest yacht by volume, after Fulk Al Salamah and REV Ocean.[5][6]

The yacht was owned by Russian Billionaire Alisher Usmanov, however in March 2022, the yacht was seized by German authorities as part of a series of sanctions on Russian oligarchs during the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine.[7][8] She is reported to have cost $800 million, employ 84 full-time crew members, and contain the largest indoor swimming pool installed on a superyacht at 180 cubic metres.[9] Usmanov previously owned, another, smaller yacht also named Dilbar (renamed Al Raya in 2018).[10][11][12]

Forbes reported that on March 2, 2022, Dilbar was seized by the German government as part of sanctions against Usmanov stemming from the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine. Dilbar was docked and undergoing refit at Blohm+Voss shipyard in Hamburg since October 2021.[13][14] This was later denied by the German authorities, who clarified that the yacht was not seized, but was covered by export control sanctions, meaning that it will not be able to leave Germany without special permission. [15]

The length of the yacht is 156 m (511 ft 10 in), with a beam of 24 m (78 ft 9 in) and a draft of 6.1 m (20 ft 0 in).
