EYOS Expeditions completed a historic season in the Northwest Passage this summer with five vessels sailing the historic High Arctic sea route. Three of these set out to complete the full ocean-to-ocean passage and all were successful. EYOS is the first company to manage three vessels completing the entire Passage in a single season.
The SeaXplorer range was introduced in 2015, a crossover innovation created by a top team of experts including the SeaXplorer design team, the Damen Research Laboratory, Azure Yacht Design and EYOS Expeditions. Carlo Torre of Monaco Yacht Temptation created the interior design.
EYOS contributed hundreds of criteria during the design phase, contributing its hard-won expertise based on over a thousand expeditions. As such, expedition capability and functionality is a core part of the yacht’s DNA, making the vessel a true globally capable expedition yacht unlike any other.
The vessel has expedition facilities for 30 days of autonomy, a fully certified helideck and helicopter hangar, plus two large tender garages and a dive store. The power generation consists of a Siemens BlueDrive system with three variable speed generator sets and DC bus. In combination with electrical propulsion motors and a battery pack, the yacht has an economical and environmentally friendly configuration.
Outfitting of the SeaXplorer took place at the Vlissingen East yard, located just a few kilometres from the Vlissingen City yard where AMELS yachts are completed.
The second in the line, a 77 meter SeaXplorer, will be delivered next year.
