PHI or Phi is a 58.5 m (192 ft) superyacht delivered by noted Dutch shipbuilders Royal Huisman, in 2021, costing £38 million ($50 million). Along with Phi itself, a support vessel, the PHI Phantom, was built by Alia Yachts at their yard in Antalya, Turkey, with her design mirroring the exterior style of Phi. Phi is registered to a company based in the Caribbean dual-island nation of Saint Kitts and Nevis, and sails under a Maltese flag.
The superyacht has been impounded by the UK Government, under United Kingdom sanctions in connection with the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, since March 2022. Successive appeals to the UK High Court of Justice to have sanctions on PHi lifted have been unsuccessful.
Phi remains docked at Canary Wharf in London.
