The third SeaXplorer is also based on lines from Azure Yacht Design - known from the 62 metre "Anawa" and 77 metre "La Datcha" - and, like the flagship, relies on an open bow lounge. In keeping with the olive green paintwork, a range of means of transport are on board, enabling a wide spectrum of "missions": on land on motorbikes and in other off-road vehicles, in the air in a helicopter and on water on two tenders as well as a specially designed 11.40 metre long sailing boat.
Various amenities speak in favour of spending time on board. Below the certified helideck, balconies fold out to the side, while aft a pool with an infinity front provides an excellent view of the surroundings and the large bathing platform. On the upper deck, guests can dine and relax in the Observation Lounge or on the bridge deck Jacuzzi. In total, Design Unlimited has created interior spaces for twelve guests and 15 crew members.
Damen Yachting had already laid the keel of the steel hull, which was welded in accordance with ice-class criteria, before an owner was found. In contrast to the first two construction numbers, which were finalised in Vlissingen in the Netherlands, the 1090 gross ton SeaXplorer 58 is being built entirely at Damen's Antalya site. From there, the owner plans to set off on adventures with its 58 metres in 2022.
The owner of the 72 metre Michael Leach design has secured a building site at Damen Yachting's headquarters in Vlissingen. The steel hull is being built at Damen Schelde Naval Shipbuilding. A hybrid drive with large battery banks should enable emission-free cruising at up to eight knots and quiet nights at anchor without generator support. On the synthetic teak of the upper deck, helicopters will land between or store a nine and a 13 metre long tender as well as a car. The owner's deck and cabins for ten guests and the crew of 24 are spread over a volume of 1440 gross tonnes. The 72-metre expedition yacht is scheduled to set sail in 2024.
