71m Royal Denship superyacht Force Blue rejoins market under new JCA

The 70.6-metre Royal Denship motor yacht Force Blue has rejoined the brokerage market under a new joint central agency with Fraser and Royal Yacht International. 

Force Blue first hit the water in 2002 as the 63.3-metre Big Roi, a trawler-style expedition yacht, yet since her launch has been refitted to varying degrees of superyacht excellence. 

Her most recent refit, completed in 2022, was carried out at Lusben and sought to maintain her explorer characteristics but tone down her workboat looks. H2 Yacht Design was responsible for her exterior redesign, while Italian architect Michele Bonan conceived her interior - now host to a sophisticated, classic theme adorned in rich materials such as mahogany and Carrara marble. 

Much of the refit work in 2022 centred around a seven-metre stern extension to allow for a large wrap-around swim platform while simultaneously increasing the main deck. As a result, her now 1,325GT interior volume is packed with large lounge and dining areas, as well as a host of amenities and plenty of accommodation. 

Thanks to the extension, guests arriving are now greeted by an expansive cream-toned main saloon, nearby to a separate formal dining room that can also double as a conference space. For more relaxed entertaining, above, Force Blue features the ultimate skylounge, with a huge U-shaped sofa surrounding a fireplace and large television. Here, this is also a mini bar and two smaller tables for light snacks or coffee. 

Accommodation-wise, there are six cabins for 12 guests on board. The master suite is located on the upper deck with a king-sized bed, walk-in wardrobes and a spa-inspired bathroom with a walk-in shower and bathtub. 

This deck is, in fact, dedicated to the owner to ensure complete privacy, while the remaining cabins (including a full-beam VIP suite) are situated on the lower deck. An elevator serves all decks, while there are further quarters for 19 crew.

When it comes to amenities, Force Blue has plenty. For wellness, she has two gyms – one indoor on the lower deck and one open-air on the sundeck – plus a spa centre complete with steam bath, chromotherapy shower, Caracalla hydrotherapy bath, Nuvola mud bath, "squeezing leg machine", steam room and hair-cum-nail saloon.

For those seeking further relaxation, there is also a cinema room on the lower deck.

Capable of suiting every interest, Force Blue's bridge deck alone is a spectacle. Equipped with a professional DJ booth and state-of-the-art disco lighting, the space can transform into a private nightclub at sea. A large bar, BBQ and a dining area complete the space here. 

Large toys and tenders are stored in the bow, plus she currently carries an 8.8-metre Pascoe tender, a 9.5-metre NorthStar tender and an 8.5-metre Bat tender. A spacious swim platform also provides easy access from tenders and to the water for making the most of her large toy box. 

Power comes from a pair of Caterpillar engines delivering a range of 8,000 nautical miles at 14 knots and 11,400 nautical miles at 10 knots. She is RINA classed and MCA compliant with a strong charter record.

Force Blue is asking €24,800,000 with VAT paid.
