Spotted - Mega Yacht Le Grand Bleu

Spotting mega yachts is not exactly something I do on a regular basis but this one is hard to pass up! I was strolling along San Juan's harbor a couple days ago when I stumbled across this massive yacht. I mean, at 370 feet, the Le Grand Bleu seems ready for anything the sea can throw at her. Two 3,600-hp Wärtsilä engines can push this 5500 gross tons yacht to a cruising speed of 15 knots. Le Grand Bleu even includes a 74-foot sailboat and a 67-foot speedboat stored on her aft deck. A crew of 35 helps her stay in tip top shape for it's lucky owner and 19 guests. I think Jacques Cousteau would have enjoyed owning one of these...
