Damen Group has revealed plans for a ground-breaking new superyacht that promises to be one of the first to navigate far-reaching corners of the planet.

As part of the compliance, Damen’s yachts will feature its patented Sea Axe bow and hull, able to cut through nearly three feet of first-year sea ice—even while traveling astern. Aiding navigation will be an enclosed crow’s nest with panoramic views, perched more than 65 feet above the water.

A Polar Class 6 certification will allow the yachts to operate in the Arctic and Antarctic during the summer and fall months. The largest yacht in the SeaXplorer line will be able to accommodate up to 30 guests throughout four decks. Amenities include an observation lounge at the bow, a skylounge on the bridge deck, an upper-deck main saloon, and numerous lavish cabins.
