The 29-metre CNB sailing yacht Grand Bleu Vintage has been sold in-house with Charles Ehrardt of Camper & Nicholsons representing both buyer and seller.
Built in France by CNB Yachts in 2003, the aluminium vessel has been under the same ownership since 2005 and joined the market earlier this year following a refit and maintenance period in 2019 and again in 2021. The refit saw the installation of a new main engine and two generators and was kitted out with a new sail wardrobe. Her exterior design and naval architecture are courtesy of Philippe Briand.
Grand Bleu Vintage accommodates up to eight guests across four cabins, with further complement for four crew. The master suite spans the yacht’s full seven-metre beam and all guest cabins are ensuite, comprising two doubles and a twin.
Interiors are designed by Vripack, with refined materials such as maple, mahogany and suede-like Alcantara contributing to the sailing yacht’s classic feel. The main saloon offers protected and unimpeded 180-degree views thanks to its mirrored windows.
On deck, the centre cockpit features an al fresco dining area, complete with a built-in fridge, a dining table to port and shade provided by a foldable Bimini or canopy. The transom drops down to double as a swim platform for direct and easy access to the sea, while a dedicated garage with a hydraulic crane is capable of stowing and launching a 3.7-metre tender. An alternative lounge space with sunpads is offered on the coach roof and aft of the twin helm station.
Grand Bleu Vintage boasts a trans-oceanic ability and can reach top speeds of 11 knots under a Cummins 410hp engine with the assistance of bow thrusters for manoeuvring in port.
Grand Bleu Vintage was asking €2,300,000.
