LE GRAND BLEU in NOK/31.08.06. She is one of the largest private yachts in the world at 370 feet (114 metres) in length. She was built at the Vulkan yard in Germany and was launched in 2000. She was previously owned by a Saudi businessman who sold her to the russian billionaire Roman Abramovich in 2002. Abramovich had her refitted to his own requirements by HDW in Kiel. This included an internal refit, and the addition of a 16ft swim platform.
In addition to this yacht, Roman Abramovitch owns two more, the Pelorus which is a little longer than the Le Grand Bleu at 377 feet, and the Ecstasea, which is slightly shorter at 282 feet, and I don't even have a rowboat.
