Bayou arriving in Fort Lauderdale, Florida

Seen here arriving in Port Everglades in Fort Lauderdale, Florida is the 1979-built superyacht Bayou. The vessel measures 37.89 metres in length and was constructed at American shipyard Breaux Bay Craft. The yacht underwent an extensive refit 20 years after her launch in 1999 where several cosmetic changes were made to the interior and exterior, but she retains largely the same image as when she was launched as MV Framar in the state of Louisiana over 35 years ago. Bayou has her own dedicated website where you can learn more about her colourful history <a href="http://mvframar.tripod.com/" target="_blank">here</a>.
