Additionally, there are 2 staff cabins aboard which can accommodate up to 4 members of the owners' staff and security team. She is also capable of carrying up to 35 crew onboard to ensure a relaxed luxury yachting experience.
Her features include three swimming pools that create currents to swim against, a glass roof looking up into one of the swimming pools, a beauty salon, a stern hatch that opens up as a huge swim platform over the sea, several side garages with tenders, a helipad and more.

Motor Yacht A is rumoured to be owned by Russian Billionaire, Andrey Melnichenko, who has a net worth of somewhere between $15.8 Billion and $17.4 Billion, depending on the source. Melnichenko was placed on the EU sanctions list on the 9 March 2022 on the basis of being "one of the leading businesspersons involved in economic sectors providing a substantial source of revenue to the Government of the Russia".[67][68] In response, Melnichenko commented that he "had no relation to the tragic events in Ukraine" and "had no political affiliations". It was reported that he "stepped down from his positions at both Eurochem and SUEK and withdrew as the beneficiary at both firms". [ Reuters has reported that Melnichenko will be disputing the sanctions listing.
