Additionally, a heated beach club was integrated into the design, offering a comfortable retreat for guests during expeditions in colder regions, such as Antarctica.

On deck, guests will find ample space for relaxation and observation. The inclusion of a 12m Intrepid and an 8m custom-built Landing Craft among her tenders emphasizes Game Changer's focus on exploration and wildlife documentation. These tenders are easily deployed, allowing guests to venture beyond the confines of the yacht and engage with the environment around them.

The presence of a three-person custom-built C-Researcher submarine and a six-person custom Airbus helicopter expands the exploration capabilities of Game Changer. These high-tech accessories enable guests to delve into the depths of the ocean or soar high above the sea, providing unique perspectives on some of the planet's most remote locations.

Game Changer's design is a direct reflection of her intended use as a sturdy and capable expedition yacht, equipped with the necessary features to provide guests with safe and comfortable adventures in a wide range of environments.
