An interesting 60 metre expedition super yacht concept has been created by Derecktor and Vripack. Noted U.S. superyacht builder Derecktor Shipyards is pleased to present a ground breaking new yacht project designed by the world-renowned Vripack studio of The Netherlands.
The Vripack 60M Expedition Motor Yacht is a highly efficient, steel and- aluminium vessel combining extreme seaworthiness and an outstanding range of 8,000 nautical miles at 12.5 knots with a high volume, custom interior.
“This project is ideal for Derecktor Shipyards with their experience in constructing both high-quality custom superyachts and large commercial vessels. They are uniquely set up to build this no-nonsense, go-anywhere boat,” said Vripack Sales Director Marnix J. Hoekstra.
The 60m explorer yacht’s hull enhanced scantlings will enable her to operate in arctic conditions. “She’s not Ice Class, but she’ll definitely be capable of nudging ice out of her path,” he added.
The Vripack 60M Expedition MY is designed for unrestricted, long-term transoceanic voyaging with the owner and guests on board.
Designed with seven levels of living space, including a private owner’s deck, the Vripack 60M will accommodate up to 14 guests served by a crew of 14 to 16 persons.
The actual number of staterooms and the interior design are up to the owner’s discretion, however. “With a yacht of this volume, we can make any vision a reality,” Hoekstra said.
Vripack’s naval architects gave her a round-bilge displacement hull with a flared bow, transom stern and straight, even keel for optimal sea-keeping, speed and fuel efficiency.
