Boat Details

Description

BLEU DE NÎMES is a 72.25m full displacement expedition motor yacht, originally built by Clelands Shipbuilding Co in 1980 and comprehensively rebuilt between 2016 and 2020. Formerly serving as a British Royal Navy degaussing ship, she underwent a complete transformation into a luxury passenger vessel, now classified under ABS A1 Passenger Yachting Service, AMS, ACCU and previously Lloyd’s.


This exceptional ocean voyager features a steel hull and superstructure, teak decks, and twin Cummins KTA50M2 engines delivering a total of 3,360hp. With a range of 20,000nm at 12 knots, she is ideally suited for long-range exploration in absolute comfort.


Her luxurious interior, designed by Pier Vittorio Cerruti, offers accommodation for 28 guests across 13 cabins, including a full-beam owner’s suite, VIP cabins, and multiple doubles, triples, and twins. There are also 12 crew cabins accommodating 23 crew and 4 staff.


Amenities on board include a helipad (touch-and-go), two Jacuzzis, a fully equipped gym, a sauna, a massage room, a cinema, a library, and an elevator connecting six decks. The sundeck offers expansive lounging and dining areas, while the yacht is equipped with multiple tenders and an extensive range of toys and watersports equipment.


BLEU DE NÎMES also includes a crew mess, dedicated laundry facilities, and extensive galley spaces. She is offered for sale in immaculate condition, fully operational, and represents a rare opportunity for those seeking a proven world cruiser with strong charter potential.
