Exterior Design
Game Changer's stern underwent a comprehensive refit in 2020, which included an extension to accommodate a new swim platform. This platform enhances the yacht's functionality, providing guests with effortless access to the water. Additionally, a heated beach club was integrated into the design, offering a comfortable retreat for guests during expeditions in colder regions, such as Antarctica.
The yacht's exterior lines are clean and modern, reflecting the practical nature of her design. Large windows punctuate the main and upper decks, ensuring that the interior spaces are flooded with natural light and that guests can enjoy panoramic views of the surrounding seascape.
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.
Interior Design
The materials chosen reflect a deep appreciation for durability and a connection to the natural environment. Rich wood paneling and polished teak flooring form the basis of the design, offering a sense of warmth and resilience.
Within the common interior spaces, guests will find a thoughtfully arranged salon equipped with state-of-the-art entertainment systems. Comfortable seating areas invite social interaction or provide a serene space for solitude and reflection. The dining area is designed for both formal and casual meals, with a focus on convenience and accessibility.
