Blohm+Voss are renowned for their unusual and daring superyachts, with the 74.5-metre motor yacht Zeus ranking highly on this list. The German-built superyacht Zeus was delivered in 1991 and undoubtedly remains one of the superyacht fleet icons.

Zeus is unquestionably one of the most distinctive superyachts ever built, and most certainly is the centre of attention at every port she visits.

The stylish windows were made by Flachglas in Germany and remain an iconic feature on the yacht, thirty years after they were installed.
