Superyacht Guide Awards are editorial ratings based on available information and review criteria.
Blue is one of the most significant recent additions to the global giga-yacht fleet. Delivered by Lürssen in 2022, she measures 160.6 metres and has a gross tonnage of about 14,785 GT.
Publicly reported details identify Terence Disdale as both exterior and interior designer, with Lürssen responsible for naval architecture. BOAT International lists accommodation for up to 48 guests and around 80 crew, placing Blue among the most substantial privately owned motor yachts in service.
Blue is important as a modern Lürssen reference yacht, combining very large scale with contemporary engineering, diesel-electric propulsion reporting and the refined, discreet design language associated with the largest private yachts.

Sources, assumptions and methodology
Indicative SYG estimate. Value basis: Length-and-age model using length. Central annual OPEX uses the established 14% of estimated yacht value fallback, adjusted for yacht age where available. Low and high cases reflect utilisation, condition, crewing, fuel, berthing and maintenance uncertainty. Capital reserve is shown separately from routine OPEX. Figures must be replaced or upgraded when reported accounts, invoices, court records or other yacht-specific evidence is available.
Calculation version: SYG-FI-1.0 · Last reviewed: 25 July 2026
Financial figures may include reported expenditure, source-derived calculations and indicative estimates. Estimated figures are not audited accounts, quotations or financial advice.

How to read this history:
Superyacht Guide estimates,
brokerage asking prices and
documented transaction values are
stored as separate record types.
The first baseline record marks the
beginning of permanent Superyacht
Guide value-history tracking; the
absence of an earlier record does
not mean the yacht had no earlier
market value or sale history.
