Key features include an aft expedition centre, which is capable of storing multiple tenders and toys and has a 12 metre slipway. Helicopter capable, the 55 SeaXplorer boasts a certified helideck.

Accommodation on board is for a total of 12 guests in six cabins and 18 crew. The H2 Yacht Design-penned 1090GT interior has a “contemporary and warm elegance”, proving that “exploration and luxury can go hand in hand”, according to the builder.
