Yacht Yersin Hits Brokerage Market for New Adventurous Owners

In many respects, the yacht Yersin is ahead of her time. Conceived about a decade ago and seeing delivery in 2015, she embodies the exploration spirit. She can circumnavigate the globe with just one re-fuel and has a lower environmental impact than new launches do. Not only can scientists come aboard to conduct crucial research, but they also can education all onboard in a dedicated classroom. These highlights just scratch the surface of what new owners can expect upon buying the yacht Yersin, since she’s available for sale.

It’s the first time she’s available, too, since delivery. Adventure, science, and education drove the creation at Pirou shipyard in France. In fact, the selection of Pirou, specializing in oceanographic and naval ships, is your first hint at her specialized purpose. The engineering behind the 255-footer (77.6-meter) lets her cruise in extreme climates. Specifically, she’s for handling conditions ranging from -4 degrees (-20 degrees C) to 120 degrees (50 degrees C). She also meets Polar Code, Ice Class, and Cleanship notations under Bureau Veritas. Cleanship is especially rare among megayachts. It signifies that she complies with several sustainability goals, such as ship recycling, pollution prevention, and emissions. For example, her bilge water and waste-water treatments reportedly result in 60 percent cleaner water than international standards require. Filters on her Caterpillar gensets (part of a diesel-electric propulsion system) further reportedly reduce nitrous oxide and sulfur oxide emissions 99.8 percent.

The 2,198-gross-ton yacht Yersin additionally has a blend of exploration-supporting and relaxation-supporting areas. A research lab and a classroom/conference room deliver in spades, as does an impressive library. So, too, do the pool deck, cinema, and staterooms. A VIP suite is up on the bridge deck, while six guest staterooms (including two triples) sit below decks. The master suite occupies a dedicated owners’ deck. Wake up to wonderful views fully forward, enjoy coffee from recessed balconies, and plan your day in the study/office.
