The Big Blue

Le Grand Bleu is dominating the port at the moment. Bought by Roman Abramovich, she was 'given' to Eugene Shvidler, a 'colleague' of his. There is more on Wikipedia.

At 104 m (341 ft), she comes complete with helipad of course. The yacht on her port quarter is 74ft in length while speedboat on her starboard is only 65ft which seems rather small.

A little bird tells me that inside there is a massive aquarium. A prize for the best explanation as to why you might need an aquarium inside a yacht when you have the sea, full of fish, on the oustide.
