First owner was John McCaw, Jr., an American businessman, who sold her to Russian businessman Roman Abramovich in 2002. Abramovich had her refitted to his own preferences by HDW in Kiel, Germany. This included an internal refit and the addition of a 16-foot (4.9 m) swim platform.

In June 2006, Abramovich gave Le Grand Bleu to her current owner, friend and business partner Eugene Shvidler.

Le Grand Bleu is powered by two 4,570 bhp Deutz engines.[3] Details about the interiors are scanty as Abramovich is protective of his family’s privacy and highly security-conscious, but they were designed by Terence Disdale.
