BLEU DE NIMES Yacht Charter

Start with the headline anomaly: BLEU DE NIMES is a 72m ex–Royal Navy vessel that now runs as a full‑scale private hotel at sea for up to 28 guests. Think passenger‑ship capacity, explorer‑yacht range (around 20,000 nm) and a 2020 rebuild that turned a steel workhorse into a long‑range charter platform with toys, spa and cinema bolted on.

Six decks, elevator, no stair‑climbing heroics required. An internal lift connects every level, from beach‑club swim platform to a vast sun deck loaded with two Jacuzzis and open lounging space big enough for a real group, not just a photo shoot. Inside, the layout is built for complex parties: 13 cabins (including a full‑beam Owner’s suite with private study and his & hers dressing rooms) give you rare flexibility for multigenerational families, corporate groups or event charters without the usual “who gets the good cabin” debate.

Reason to book it instead of something smaller and shinier: this is a genuine expedition‑grade platform with hotel‑style capacity, not a delicate toy. You get a gym, sauna, massage room, full movie theatre, beach club and serious storage for weeks offshore, backed by a 23‑strong crew and space to bring up to four extra staff if needed. Translation: run a big charter, stay out a long time, and still have enough square metres per person to avoid your in‑laws at will.

Toy box, not token gesture. Five tenders (including two 10.3m customs), three big waverunners, a jetski, Laser sailing dinghy, kayaks, paddleboards, towables and full scuba setup with compressor mean the “what do we do today?” problem solves itself. If your brief is: large group, long range, real toys, real privacy, no gimmicks – BLEU DE NIMES is the one you scroll to, not past.
