Abramovich's old yacht in Douglas Bay

by isleofman.com 2nd August 2009

One of the world's largest private yachts is in Douglas Bay today.

"Le Grand Bleu" was famously once owned by Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich, the owner of Chelsea Football Club.

He had it between 2002 and 2006, before selling it to fellow Russian oligarch Eugene Shvidler, who's a friend and business partner of Abramovich.

The 114 metre vessel has a 74-foot sailboat and a 67-foot speedboat stored on her aft deck and also makes room for a helicopter.
