MY Vava II is the 97-metre superyacht commissioned by the Swiss-Italian entrepreneur Ernesto Bertarelli. Built by Devonport Yachts at Plymouth, England, the hull was built by sister shipyard Appledore Shipbuilders then taken to Devonport for the accommodation section to be lifted to ship and then launched in 2009. When constructed she was claimed to be the largest British-built superyacht. She was the last yacht built by Devonport Yachts following its acquisition by Pendennis Shipyard.
