Maryann (yacht)

Maryann is a motor yacht, notable for its construction history and ownership. The vessel was originally commissioned by and built for Marcel Bich, the founder of Bic pens, in 1967. Built at the Camper & Nicholsons shipyard in Gosport, UK, it represented a significant project for the yard at the time, showcasing advanced shipbuilding techniques.

The yacht features a steel hull and aluminum superstructure. Its design prioritized both performance and comfort, with spacious interior accommodations and ample deck space for leisure activities. Details regarding its initial interior design and technical specifications are often limited in public records, though period documents and historical naval architecture publications may provide further information.

Over the years, Maryann has changed ownership several times. Its later ownership includes prominent figures, contributing to its continued recognition within the yachting community. Refits and renovations have likely occurred throughout its lifespan, updating its interior, technology, and maintaining its seaworthiness. Tracking its precise location and current status can prove difficult due to the private nature of yacht ownership, but maritime databases and specialist yachting publications often provide insights into its activities. The yacht remains a notable example of classic yacht design and construction.
