Le Grand Bleu

About

Le Grand Bleu is a 112.8-meter (370-foot) superyacht built by Bremer Vulkan in Germany, launched in 2000. It features a steel hull and superstructure, designed to provide both strength and luxury. The yacht's exterior design is attributed to Pastrovich Studio, while its interior was initially designed by Bannenberg & Rowell, though later modified by Luciano Di Pilla Design. Le Grand Bleu can accommodate up to 20 guests in 10 suites and has a crew of 35. Le Grand Bleu is powered by twin Deutz engines, allowing it to reach a top speed of 19 knots. It includes amenities like a helipad, tender garage, and a guest elevator. The yacht is known for its robust design and functionality, featuring stabilizers for comfort in rough seas. It has been owned by several prominent figures, including Paul Allen and Roman Abramovich, before being gifted to Eugene Shvidler. Le Grand Bleu is not featured in the 1988 film "The Big Blue," which suggests a mix-up with another vessel.
