One small photo. That is all we have of superyacht&nbsp;Blue Sea. We have a strong suspicion that the yacht is kept in South Korea, but we have not been able to confirm this. What we do know, is that she was built in 1982 in Japan by Mie Zosen, as a sistership to superyacht <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/427" data-legacy="true" href="#managed-by-application">Big Eagle</a>. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/172552/image/large-d61439ae28ea9617e8f4dbf7b243a260.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/172552">She was briefly for sale around 2004, but we believe she was not sold at that time and was probably withdrawn from the market.<a href="mailto:info@superyachttimes.com?subject=Info%20on%20M/Y%20Blue%20Sea">Please contact us</a> if you have any recent or historical information on Blue Sea, or if you have any recent photos of her. We will post an update as soon as we know more on the whereabouts of the vessel.
