Vladimir Putin
Chris Hutchins, a biographer of Russian Prime Minister
Vladimir Putin, claims that the relationship between the former Russian president and Abramovich is like that between a father and a favorite son; Abramovich himself has stated that his relationship with Putin is professional, as signified by his use of the Russian language's formal "вы" in addressing Putin, as opposed to the informal "ты".

[80] Her ultramodern design is similar to Pelorus with even more aggressive lines and a tri-colour scheme.[82]
- Ecstasea (85 metres long / 282 feet) - Largest Feadship built to date. She has a gas turbine alongside the conventional diesels which gives her high cruising speed. Abramovich sold the boat to an unnamed buyer in 2009.[83]
- Pelorus (115 metres/377 feet long) - Built by Lurssen for another client who received six offers to sell her before she was even completed and accepted Abramovich's bid. The interior is very contemporary, designed by Terence Disdale, and images can be found on their website.

He presented her to his associate and friend Eugene Shvidler in June 2006.
- Sussurro (50 metres/163 feet long) - built by Feadship in 1998 with the interior designed by Terence Disdale. Abramovich bought her from the same person who sold him Pelorus. She is permanently moored in IYCA, Antibes and is used as a tag-along to one of the larger yachts.
He owns a private
Boeing 767-33A/ER, registered in
Aruba as P4-MES. It is known as "The Bandit" due to its cockpit paint detail. Originally the aircraft was ordered by
Hawaiian Airlines but the order was canceled and Abramovich bought it from Boeing and refitted it to his own requirements. Interior details or images are not available anywhere. P4-MES is frequently parked at the Harrods Aviation facility at
Stansted Airport, UK.
Abramovich also owns three
Eurocopter helicopters, all with
Aruba registration as well. An
EC-145 with the registration P4-LGB, an EC-135T1 with the registration P4-XTC and an EC-155B with the registration P4-HEC. The helicopters are based on his yachts, at
