For diving expeditions, a submarine is of course also a must, which will be parked in a high-tech hangar on the latest Damen Explorer. The Dutch yacht builders are also realising a floating heliport on which two helicopters can land to give the owner the greatest possible flexibility on arrival and departure.
Two helicopters travel permanently on board so that a backup flight tender can be accessed in the event of a heli-skiing emergency.
The voluminous 75.15 metre displacement vessel (2500 gross tonnes) can accommodate up to twelve guests and a crew and expedition team of 25.
Delivery of the SeaXplorer is planned for 2020.
