Ocean Xplorer®
Long-range, global expedition and
yacht support vessels
Commercial vessels must navigate in all seas, in all weather conditions, year-round.
They require proven systems with onboard redundancies in order to stay at sea and complete their mission.
The most capable Expedition Yachts and Yacht Support Vessels are based on commercial hulls built by commercial shipyards.
If your MISSION requires a rugged global expedition yacht, or a versatile multi-mission support vessel, then Xplorer Yachts will spec out the right vessel to meet your needs - either as a conversion or as a new-build.
