The Blue Marlin should be referred to as the God of the sea as its robust engineering allows it to carry ginormous objects across bodies of water.
It’s a semi-submersible carrier that can lift and move multiple ships at a time. One may wonder how big oil refineries manage to get out to the middle of open water and the answer to that is the Blue Marlin. This God-like ship managed to move BP’s gigantic oil rig, Thunder Horse PDQ, and escort the USS Cole warship back home.
The Blue Marlin has 38 cabins on its ship that can accomodate up to 60 people. For more leisurely activities for the crew, there’s a workout room, a sauna and swimming pool.
