Strait of Hormuz: Experts warn superyachts not to attempt crossing after Nord passage

Experts speaking to BOATPro have warned private yachts should not attempt to cross the Strait of Hormuz at this time, despite Nord's earlier passage on 25 April 2026. The 141.6-metre Lürssen became the first recorded superyacht to cross the Strait since a temporary ceasefire was reached on 8 April, but this is more likely to be a one-off incident than evidence of improved conditions.
