The yacht belongs to Roman Abramovich's business partner Eugene Shvidler. He also owns a $37 million home in Belgravia and has close business connections to Sir Michael Peat, former treasurer to the Queen & financial adviser to the Prince of Wales. A big player in Londongrad.
Oil billionaire Eugene Shvidler is also the benefactor of the Beit Shvidler Primary School in Edgeware, praised by Boris Johnson for "improving education in the capital" & as a beacon of "ethical capitalism".

Eugene Shvidler & Roman Abramovich owe their fabulous wealth to their close relationship with Putin's regime. Russia is run essentially as a fossil-fuel kleptocracy.
For Putin, Trump & Brexit were ways to extend the power & influence of that kleptocracy. Boris Johnson was a help.

For clarity's sake: I have no idea whether Boris Johnson is aboard Eugene Shvidler's superyacht off Scotland. Perhaps he is indeed in the humble tent with Carrie. But I have no doubt that he'd be a welcome guest were he to pay Shvidler's yacht a visit.
