Sailing Yacht Blue Gold

The yacht Blue Gold is the largest sailing yacht built by Benetti. She sleeps up to 12 persons in five staterooms.

In 2012 the yacht was seized by the Vanuatu government for unpaid taxes. Blue Gold was under investigation, as according to sources a significant amount of money is owed to the yacht’s crew.

Damaged and Grounded

In March 2015 Blue Gold was damaged and grounded by Cyclone Pam. She lies abandoned on the beach in Vanuatu ever since.

She is a hazard, causing damage to the reef and the environment. Locals from Moso Island have asked the Government to remove the beached Super Yacht Blue Gold, from their reef. More here.

Owner

The yacht’s owner was Joep van den Nieuwenhuyzen.

SuperYachtFan

What started as a ‘yacht spotter’ hobby, turned into a fast-growing yachting site with thousands of unique daily visitors.

In 2009 SuperYachtFan in its current format was published online and soon the focus changed from ‘yacht photos’ to ‘yacht owners’, creating the Super Yacht Owners Register. A database with more than 1,370 yacht owners.

This was an instant success as many people around the world are interested in, or curious about, these multi-million dollar yachts and their wealthy owners.

Investigative journalism

The SuperYachtFan team is active in Investigative journalism. We spend a lot of team researching and deeply investigating yacht ownership structures.

Our reporting is copied and/or used by many international media companies.

SuperYacht Site

With thousands of daily visitors and a strong growth rate, SuperYachtFan became one of the largest ‘superyacht sites’. We realize the most organic search traffic of all known yachting websites.

Social Media

We are active on social media including Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and Twitter. Somehow our accounts on Tumblr and Reddit were terminated. (We asked why but did not receive any explanations. Luckily, we can live without those ;-) )

Disclaimer

The details about yacht ownership as stated on this site and in our Yacht Owners Register are sometimes based on rumors. Often actual yacht ownership by the private individuals mentioned can not be confirmed, at least from a legal point of view.

On the other hand… where there’s smoke, there is fire ;-)
