The latest launch from Blohm + Voss, which carries the project name Graceful, was set to undergo sea trials and be delivered to her owner at the end of December. Over the past 18 months, the 269-foot (82-meter) vessel, designed by H2 Yacht Design, was fitted out by Blohm + Voss in cooperation with the owner and Dörries Maritime Services. Among her unique and complex equipment and design characteristics is a 49-by-10-foot indoor pool, which can be converted to a dance floor. In addition to a separate owner’s area with a duplex suite and direct access to the sea via a folding balcony, the yacht has two VIP and three guest suites for a further 10 guests, as well as 24 crew.
