This Royal Navy Ship Turned Luxury $54m Explorer Superyacht Has A Range Of 20,000nm!
I had the privilege of spending five years at sea after joining the Royal Navy at 16.
And even though I retired from the armed forces several years ago, I, like many other maritime veterans, still feel very much attached to the navy.
When one of my subscribers commented on one of my videos about an explorer superyacht that I had never heard of before, I thought I would check it out.
Suffice to say, when I found this yacht on Edmiston's website, I was not disappointed.
And then when I read that Bleu de Nimes used to be a Royal Navy Degaussing ship, I just knew that I had to make a video about this old friend.
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
