About HANSE EXPLORER
Description
HANSE EXPLORER is one of few yachts on the charter market that can be considered a true expedition yacht.
View all yachts for charter
Purpose built in 2006 with German precision, HANSE EXPLORER's steel hull has the highest commercial Ice Class rating (Finnish Ice Class A1/Germanischer Lloyd Ice Class E3) and her powerful engine allows her to break through dense sea ice with ease. Expeditions in recent years have taken her south of the Antarctic Circle, into the High Arctic and to many other exotic destinations in between. With state of the art navigation equipment, an 8,000nm cruising range, the capacity to produce 20 tons of fresh water on board every day and an extraordinary level of seaworthiness, HANSE EXPLORER is entirely self sufficient for long range exploration.
The interior offers light, functional and relaxed furnishings that feature beautiful woodwork and an intelligent layout for maximising space. The master cabin is situated on the upper deck, consisting of a double en suite and a large adjoining private lounge or study. The remaining six guest cabins on the main deck are practically identical, apart from subtle differences in colour scheme. A total of 12 guests are accommodated.
The experienced crew are outstanding and love taking guests for an adventure of a lifetime! For this, they have both the expertise and the knowledge.
