Who Makes The Best Expedition Yachts?

Since 2007, Bering Yachts has been producing explorer yachts, while Arksen Yachts builds expedition yachts designed for adventure worldwide. Cantiere Delle Marche Yachts, an award-winning Italian shipyard, builds both semi-custom and custom expedition yachts. Name-brand builders like Hollands Damen, Italy’s Sanlorenzo, and Cantiere delle Marche have joined specialist Turkish yards like Bering and AvA in offering capable, ice-class hulls, massive sterns, and conversions.

The best explorer yachts available for charter include Octopus, Tranquility, and Planet Nine. The 2022 trend has seen an increasing trend for pocket-sized explorers and expedition-ready support vessels, alongside more traditional explorer yachts. The best way to explore remote bucket-list destinations on Earth is by Expedition Yachts, which can be found in Antarctica, Alaska, Greenland, Galapagos, Vanuatu, and Papua New Guinea.

The best ice explorer is the Damen SeaXplorer 105, the largest model in the SeaXplorer range, with exterior design by Azimut Yachts. Manufacturers of expedition yachts and trawlers include Absolute Yachts, Admiral, Azimut Yachts, Baglietto, and Beneteau Yachts.

The Xplorer 80 is the design that has it all, bringing extensive capability, unrivalled autonomy, and luxury space and lifestyle to the yachts. Intrepid adventurers can choose from the boldest explorer yacht concepts, such as the Lontano APEX Project, Axis ONE 50 Rex Miami Triexplorer Seven Seas, and the world’s most famous explorer yachts.
