Damen Yachting’s SeaXplorer range not only continues to attract customers, but also continues to grow. The largest model is now the SeaXplorer 105, 345 feet (105 meters) of polar-exploration capabilities and luxury living.
The series, which counts Anawa as its first delivery, has grown due to customer requests and existing customer feedback. With a gross tonnage of 6,500, the new model features naval architecture by Damen Yachting and styling by Azure Yacht Design, like the smaller models. Further like those, the new model is fully engineered, ready for owners to personalize in arranging lounges, staterooms, and more. A total of 24 guests can stay aboard, with 28 crew and the captain, plus 12 further staff members. Since she meets Passenger Yacht Code classification, you can charter out the yacht.
Also carrying over from the existing models, the SeaXplorer 105 invites you and your guests to take in the sights from perfect perches. For instance, an observation lounge fully forward (top) has 1,324 square feet (123 square meters) of open-air space. It has a bar and multi-media area as well. Considering her 8,000-nautical-mile range at 12 knots, the alfresco lounge will let you marvel at penguins and palm trees alike. Compliance with the IMO Polar Code safety and environmental standards, plus ice-breaking capabilities, makes icy-water visits possible. So do retractable stabilizer fins, to avoid collisions with below-the-surface ice.
Additionally important, especially in Antarctica, the SeaXplorer 105 has a certified, two-helicopter helideck. Antarctica requires two of the aircraft when embarking on heliskiing or other mountain activity, and when flying far. Furthermore, two helicopters mean peace of mind when far from infrastructure. Also note that the SeaXplorer 105 can stow both craft in a below-decks hangar, plus has a fueling station.
Interestingly, when the helicopters stow below, the helideck turns into a party platform. Damen Yachting says up to 200 people can enjoy music and cocktails, for example. Alternately, use it for midnight movies, a tennis court, or half-court basketball games.
With a 56-foot (17-meter) beam, the SeaXplorer 105 caters to more creature comforts. The main deck reserves 3,229 square feet (300 square meters) for a spa, for instance. It contains a gym, a steam room, a sauna, a massage room, a beauty salon, and a pool. Amid her eight total decks, the massive megayacht further dedicates garages for tenders. They can include large limo tenders, landing craft, RIBs, and more, up to four 39-footers (12-meters) in total. Add in a submarine and/or diving center, and let the explorations begin.
