Superyacht Bleu de Nime last Refit
She was originally built as a conventional naval vessel by Clelands Shipbuilding Company in 1980.
After a first refit in 1997, the second reconstruction of the former warship began in 2016 and lasted 4 years. Bleu de Nimes saw a 16 meter extension added to the middle of the ship, lengthening the ship to 72.23 meters.
The style, design and classic exterior lines of Le Bleu de Nîmes were preserved, while original interior designer Pier Vittorio Cerruti was called back to ensure that the new interiors respected his traditional aesthetic.
The end result is a beautiful interior clad in wood paneling and flooring, complemented by cream-colored furniture for a soothing, colonial feel.
Equipped with a wide range of luxurious amenities including a sauna, massage room, gym and Jacuzzis, guests can access any of the 6 decks via the onboard elevator.
Bleu de Nîmes is also equipped with a bar and plenty of lounge chairs, as well as a helipad on the upper deck, for arriving in style.
Bleu de Nimes a boat lover story
The owner of Bleu de Nimes is a long-time boater. From a very young age he claims to have the “travel virus” and spends most of his time sailing in the Indian and Pacific Oceans.
In most refits, you’ve probably heard stories of rusty steel and hidden damage. Bleu de Nimes is the exception, her hull and superstructure were in fantastic condition. In fact, the superyacht was built with the best quality steel in the world.
Many owners embark on renovations for the sake of a new project, but for this owner, Bleu de Nimes was not just a passing passion project. For him, it was a love affair that lasted 20 years, resulting in two major rebuilds with its share of challenges. His latest rebuild was completed transforming the ship into a luxury superyacht capable of offering opulence in the most remote corners of the world.
