YACHT LISTING SEARCH

Blohm + Voss 104m

Maarten Ten Holter at Vripack Yacht & Ship calls to say that, following a sealed bid auction, his colleague Peter Naeye has closed on the sale of the 104m Blohm + Voss motor yacht.

This unique vessel was built by the Blohm + Voss Yard in Germany in 1961 and brings to mind the grace and quality of a bygone era. Her appearance and fantastic sheer lines make her eminently suitable for a yacht conversion.

She was put into dry dock in 2005 and underwent an extensive survey and a considerable amount of work has already been done on her exterior and interior. Unfortunately, confidentality clauses prevent Maarten from telling me more.
