JFA Yachts are excited to announce that their expedition yacht Zeepaard has received the Voyager’s Award 2014 at the World Superyacht Awards. The prestigious award for Zeepaard yacht was handed over during the ceremony, which took place in Amsterdam on May 3.
Motor yacht Zeepaard, designed by Vripack, has been delivered in 2003 by JFA Yachts as Axantha I. This explorer vessel really did an amazing trip! She realised a full world tour following the Equator and going West. The yacht spent 3 years and 3 months sailing from Nice to Nice, visited 39 countries, sailed 50,000 miles.
The owner of superyacht Zeepaard, along with his family and friends, encountered incredible experiences everywhere they went, even in the rather more adventurous ‘pirate zones’, for which they were well prepared. This was a notable voyage of exactly the type for which expedition yachts were designed, and the award’s judges considered it most worthy of a Neptune award.
Frédéric JAOUEN, the CEO of JFA Yachts, was present at the award ceremony and congratulated to the Owner of Zeepaard yacht.
JFA Yachts is proud to have built the Zeepaard superyacht but moreover they are proud to have contributed to realising owner’s dreams.
