Formerly a British Royal Navy degaussing vessel, BLEU DE NÎMES underwent a major conversion in 2000 when she was transformed from a navy vessel into a spacious family yacht. Carried out in Turkey and overseen by her experienced owner, this first rebuild was classified as a new construction by Lloyds and saw the creation of a brand new superstructure for BLEU DE NÎMES with yacht designer Peter Birkett keeping only the steel hull from the original vessel.
BLEU DE NÎMES’ initial conversion was then followed by a second rebuild carried out in Italy from 2016 to 2020. Overseen by Studio Nattero, during her second rebuild BLEU DE NÎMES was extended by 16 metres with the addition of four new guest cabins, two tender garages, a central stairway and a super yacht lift. This second conversion took BLEU DE NÎMES From a family yacht to an ultra-luxurious explorer yacht with a stylish Pier Vittorio Cerruti interior and accommodation for up to 28 guests across her 13 staterooms.
Guest accommodation onboard includes a stunning full-beam Owner’s suite with a private study plus his & hers dressing rooms and ensuite bathrooms, two VIP cabins, six double cabins, two triple cabins and two twin cabins each with an additional Pullman berth. BLEU DE NÎMES also has two staff cabins plus accommodation for her 23-person crew on the lower decks.
BLEU DE NÎMES’ interior is more than matched by her spacious exterior which offers guests a choice of outdoor living areas plus a touch-and-go helipad for easy transfers to shore. On the upper deck, a large dining area can seat up to 36 guests for al fresco lunches while up on the sundeck an outdoor lounge area features two spa pools. Her vast beach club offers direct access to the water when swimming or using the vast collection of toys, tenders and diving equipment.
Capable of taking you to the ends of the earth and back again, BLEU DE NÎMES sets the bar for luxury explorer yachts thanks to her sophisticated design, her long-range cruising abilities and her capacity for limitless adventure. One of the leading explorer yachts on the market today, she has been delivering a premium charter experience since her relaunch on the global market in 2020.
With an impressive range of 20 000 nautical miles at 12 knots, BLEU DE NÎMES is designed to circumnavigate the globe in absolute comfort. Equipped with a superb selection of charter amenities, onboard highlights include a superyacht lift which connects all six decks, a vast salon and cinema lounge on the main deck and a fully-equipped gym and wellness area with a sauna and massage room on the bridge deck.
