Seaxplorer モーターヨット

Her hull is Ice-Class steel, built for waters a standard cruising yacht could not enter, and above it sits an aluminium superstructure to keep her weight in check. Azure Naval Architects and H2 Yacht Design worked on her, and Damen is building her as one of its SeaXplorer 60 series, due for delivery in 2028.

Build and provenance

Seaxplorer is a monohull explorer yacht built to Damen's SeaXplorer 60 design, with an Ice-Class steel hull below the waterline and an aluminium superstructure above it. Designed by Azure Naval Architects and H2 Yacht Design. Delivery is due in 2028.

Layout and accommodation

Twelve guests will sleep across six cabins, including an owner's suite, while a crew of seventeen live and work in their own quarters, a ratio built for round-the-clock expedition service rather than a light weekend crew. Her interiors run across three decks.

Performance and engineering

She cruises at 12 knots and reaches 14.5 knots flat out: speeds set for efficient, long passages rather than a fast crossing. A helideck certified for a four-tonne aircraft and twin tender bays for her tenders and jet skis mean she can support an expedition without returning to port for stores.

On deck and at anchor

A dedicated expedition store keeps dive gear and toys organised, and a swim platform opens her to the water at anchor. A gym keeps exercise part of the daily routine at sea.

Where she lies and how to see her

Seaxplorer is being built in the Netherlands and is offered for sale ahead of her 2028 delivery. Boatcrowd arranges viewings at the yard during her build and will be there for her sea trial once she is complete; survey follows any accepted offer, as with any yacht.
