Damen has launched the world’s first purpose-built, Polar Code compliant range of expedition yachts, the SeaXplorers.
The 65 to 100-metre SeaXplorer range debuted this week at the Monaco Yacht Show. Under the responsibility of Product Director Mark Vermeulen, a dedicated Damen SeaXplorer team has developed three designs, while the Damen Group yacht builder Amels is responsible for sales and marketing.

The SeaXplorer is safe and comfortable in any sea thanks to Damen’s patented Sea Axe hull design. In addition, the yacht’s Polar Class double-acting hull breaks through the ice. The three models in the range can reach the most remote destinations and enjoy up to forty days of full luxury service for all guests without port call.
The SeaXplorer carries tenders (including a dive support tender), expedition equipment, toys, submersibles, dive equipment (including recompression chamber) and up to two helicopters.
To create the SeaXplorer, Damen received design input from partner Eyos Expeditions and the exterior lines were created by Azure Yacht Design and Naval Architecture.
