Blue Sky
2013
This is Blue Sky
Launched in a colourful ceremony that combined Chinese and Dutch maritime cultures (lion dancers included), the 44.65-metre Blue Sky was the first superyacht to be built by a Western shipyard for a mainland China client. In addition to her unique helicopter deck for a yacht of this length, she must also be one of the first superyachts to have two separate areas for Chinese pastimes: a sky deck lounge with dedicated karaoke space and a Mah-jong room found aft of the wheelhouse with a state-of-the-art table that automatically shuffles the tiles and deals the dice.
