RMK Marine has been awarded the construction of a 65m/213ft luxury expedition yacht ‘ER65’, designed by Ivan Erdevicki of Vancouver-based studio ER Yacht Design.
E/Y ER65 will be built to polar and Lloyd’s ice-class requirements and will be one of a select few vessels to have the Polar Code B – Ice Class PC 6 classification. State-of-the-art technology and luxuries on board ensure that all guests have a safe and comfortable journey.
ER yacht Design will also complete the interiors, which will be timelessly classic while maintaining a plain and clean appearance. Amongst her amenities, there will be a library, gym, sauna, massage room, beach club and medical room, while elsewhere on board there is a deepwater submarine that will be stored within a watertight compartment, a helipad with a refuelling station and the latest generation of hybrid propulsion.
The accommodation is designed to sleep up to 12 guests across 6 en-suite cabins: 1 Master suite and 5 further guest cabins. There is also accommodation for the expert crew of 20.
RMK Marine has a wealth of experience in constructing ice-class vessels to polar standards, and its commercial venture includes models over 150m/492ft. Once completed, motor yacht ER65 will become the flagship for the shipyard luxury yachting line.
The keel for explorer yacht ER65 will be laid in Q3 of 2022 and her completion is expected for summer 2025.
