With construction of the first hull of the new model underway, the 55.7m SeaXplorer 55 is designed to accommodate adventures in a variety of terrains including both tropical and polar regions.

Breaking new ground for the Dutch brand, and indeed the world, the SeaXplorer 55 is the first purpose-built Polar Code compliant exploration yacht.

Advertising a top speed of 15 knots, the latest addition to the SeaXplorer range promotes a cruising speed of 11.5 knots which allows for a range of 5,000 nautical miles.
