The Axioma was seized by Gibraltar in March. It's one of several Russian-owned superyachts that have been seized since Russia invaded Ukraine, but will be the first to go under the hammer, according to its auctioneer.
SuperYachtFan values the Axioma at $75 million. It was previously available for the super-wealthy to charter for up to 635,000 euros, or $633,000, a week.
The luxury vessel can sleep up to 12 guests in its six cabins...

Above the infinity pool is a large outdoor lounge that can be converted into a dance floor, according to Howe Robinson Partners, the firm auctioning the Axioma.
Below deck, there's also a sauna, steam room, and gym.

A glass elevator ferries passengers between the yacht's five decks, which boast a helipad, media room, and 3D cinema, among other amenities.

The elevator brings VIP guests to the "Owner's Study." From there, a small corridor leads to the master bedroom, which features 180-degree panoramic windows and a ceiling that opens "to reveal a glass roof for laying under the stars," per the auctioneers.

The aft deck is "great for relaxing in the tub and having a cocktail while the sun goes down," the auctioneers say. The fore deck can be used "as a golf driving range complete with biodegradable, fish food, golf balls," they say.

Double sliding doors lead from the aft deck to the main saloon, which has a double-height atrium.
There's been a "staggering amount of interest" in the vessel, its auctioneer Nigel Hollyer, of Howe Robinson, told Bloomberg on Monday. The sealed bid auction closes at 1pm local time Tuesday, Hollyer told the Guardian.
