Motor yacht La Datcha is the largest in the SeaXplorer range, she spans six decks and has a range that compares favourably against any explorer yacht for sale - being able to stay on sea for 40 days without a need to return to port. She celebrated her official launch over the weekend at Damen’s Amels yard based in Vlissingen.
Her large range is due to enhanced fuel tanks and state-of-the-art garbage management systems. She has enough storage space for 40 days’ worth of provisions and is built with an ice-breaking IMO Polar Code compliant hull, that gives her the ability to cruise both the Arctic and Antarctic.
The owner has a lot of energy and ideas that went into the design of La Datcha. This yacht is the largest and most capable SeaXplorer so far, custom-built to the owner’s requirements. There is no other yacht like it in the world. We’re very proud to be building her and can’t wait to see La Datcha exploring the world

Motor yacht La Datcha was commissioned by an owner who wanted a vessel with heli-skiing, surfing and scuba diving capabilities and has one of the most extensive ranges of expeditionary equipment you will find on any yacht for sale.
She can house lots and lots of tenders including two helicopters, both of which can be stored in the below-deck hangar, carries her own submersible, fully-equipped diving centre with a decompression chamber and two snow scooters or four Waverunners.
This new SeaXplorer 77 has a steel hull and aluminium superstructure, the striking gloss chestnut hull colour makes motor yacht La Datcha immediately recognisable. Exterior design came courtesy of Azure Yacht Design & Naval Architecture, who worked with Damen Yachting’s internal team.
Inside six en-suite staterooms that sleep 12 guests are characterised by subtle hues of wood and stones. There are two master cabins and two VIP suites, with the owner’s cabin and VIP suites sitting alongside an expansive observation lounge and outdoor deck. There is also accommodation for a crew of up to 25 including pilots and expedition staff.
Detailed renderings of the SeaXplorer 77 were first presented at the Monaco Yacht Show in 2018 and outfitting began in August 2019. She is expected to be delivered in September this year.
The 2,560GT ‘La Datcha’ follows the first SeaExplorer 65, which was launched in July 2019.
