The yacht was owned by a Russian oligarch and was abandoned in Antigua in 2022 after sanctions were placed. The boat is now owned by an American Oligarch. It has been burning diesel fuel for 14 months (hexbear.net)

maybe docking is more expensive than anchoring and popping off for a shitton of gas now and then?
