There is a very large white yacht (Eclipse size) moored off Simpson Bay. No signal on Marine Traffic website. Transponder probably off. Anyone know anything about it?

Eclipse is a frequent visitor to the island.

It is not Eclipse. If it is Ocean Victory it is the first time in a week and a half that I have seen it.

Ok.....I will revise. According to Marine traffic (assuming it's accurate and it usually is) Eclipse and Ocean Victory were in the Bay yesterday when I checked around 1pm. They are still there.

Ocean Victory was there when we arrived on 1/12 and was still there when we left on 1/26. I checked last week and it was there. SO it has been there MOST of the month.

From my unit at SBR I can see the whole bay and it is quite obvious when ships arrive and depart AND which ones hang around

It was neither Eclipse or Ocean Victory. I could see both of those. This one did not register on screen. Still there this am. Garage door open. It is/was seaward of Ocean Victory and Eclipse. I am at LaVista Beach.

Saw Eclipse today. I don’t know what Ocean Victory looks like but from Bluesfan’s post I now think I know which one it is.

May be solved. Large white yacht now shows on Marine traffic as Eclipse. Probably Abromovitch's new yacht. Old blue hull Eclipse not here. That boat had been taking day trips. Test sails for prospective buyers?

There is no "new" Eclipse. It is the same ship and has been in the Bay on and off for a couple of months. It takes frequent short trips to ST. Barts (it's there now) and then returns in a couple/few days. Here is a pic from 2012

Right, Eclipse was never blue.

Bluesfan: Maybe you are thinking of Limitless which is a rather large (but over 200 ft. shorter the Eclipse) beast and is white over a blue bottom. Limitless has been and is docked in the lagoon side for quite some time.

Saw the Limitless return to the Logoon about 5 days ago, It had been in St Kitts for several weeks

Makes sense...it was there for both our weeks in mid-January ...it arrived on January 5th and was docked for 26 days.....Departed on Feb 1st and returned on February 10th

What was the blue yacht with the lighted portholes along the waterline? I thought that was Eclipse.

Le Grand Bleu? It has a sailboat and a powerboat on the aft deck.

Tried to post a link, but it's not working....

Yup...Le Grand Bleu is a fine beast and fits the blue /white description...but it's in Rotterdam
