This Is One Of My Favourite Super Explorer Yachts | 113 Metre ‘Le Grand Bleu’
When it comes to explorer and expedition yachts, then does it get any better than this?
This is the Le Grand Bleu; A 113 metre, 371-foot masterpiece of traditional naval architecture that was built at the Bremer Vulkan yard in Bremen, Germany, in 2000.
And despite being two decades old, she still turns heads wherever she goes. And it is easy to see why!
This sage of the seas is powered by twin Deutz engines. In 2019, Le Grand Bleu was the worlds 36th longest private yacht.
She was built by Kusch Yachts.

Yacht Buoy
I spent 6 years at sea travelling the world while serving in the Royal Navy (two Frigates and an Aircraft Carrier). But I have been around boats and the sea since I was a kid.
I also spent just under two years volunteering as a coastal crew member in the RNLI (search and rescue) at one of the busiest RNLI stations in the UK.
I LOVE cruising in rough weather (as long as I am on the right vessel!)
I have had a passion for boats/yachts and the sea since I was 9-years-old (31 years ago!). When I was a teenager, I used to read 'Boat International' and I spent many hours daydreaming about life on the water. Anyone who has been to sea, and enjoyed their experience, will confirm that once you are 'hooked' then there is no going back.
I love explorer yachts and trawler yachts and anything that floats on the water. I also love naval architecture and marine engineering & technology. This channel is about sharing my passion with other like-minded seafarers and shipmates
