Le Grand Bleu is one of the largest private yachts in the world at 370 feet (114 metres) in length. It was built at the Bremer Vulkan yard in Bremen, and was launched in 2000.
It was previously owned by John McCaw Jr., an American businessman who sold her to Russian businessman Roman Abramovich in 2002.
In June 2006, Abramovich "gave" Le Grand Bleu to friend Eugene Shvidler. Mr. Shvidler maintains ownership of Le Grand Bleu.
