STAMFORD - A floating art and antiques emporium is docked in the city’s South End while a crew prepares for its first show in Greenwich next week.

Dealers from New York, London, Paris, Munich and elsewhere around the world are setting up shop on the SeaFair Grand Luxe in coming days to prepare for its maiden voyage.

The custom-built 228-foot mega-yacht is at Brewer Yacht Haven Marina through Sunday, when it will move to Greenwich for the first port of a four-stop fall tour. The boat will dock behind the Delamar Greenwich Harbor Hotel.

The world’s first luxury megayacht, the SeaFair’s 228-foot Grand Luxe, stopped in Charleston over the weekend during its maiden voyage. The ship will return to Charleston Harbor next year for a charity benefit for the Gibbes Museum of Art.

The nation’s fourth largest yacht made a brief stop at the Charleston City Marina this weekend, but don’t worry — SeaFair’s 228-foot Grand Luxe will return in April in hopes of raising hundreds of thousands of dollars for a local museum.
The luxurious mega-yacht is a floating fine art fair that is making its maiden voyage from Miami to Greenwich, Ct. Once in Connecticut, the yacht will fill 28 galleries with fine art from around the world.
