history
Alain Colas had this four- master built in 1976 under the name Club Mediterranée for the one-handed transatlantic race that has taken place every four years since 1960 , in which he took second place. The Phocea already reached over 30 knots under sail and made the Atlantic crossing in just over eight days. In 1986 the Phocea was converted into a private yacht for the French businessman Bernard Tapie .
The Lebanese multimillionaire Mouna Ayoub bought the yacht in 1997 in a poor condition for around 5 million euros and had it converted into a luxury yacht in 1999 at the Lürssen shipyard in Bremen (refit). The Phocea can be chartered for around 220,000 euros per week.
