Serious Ice-Class Search & Rescue Vessel for Conversion

from Xplorer Yachts | Expedition Yacht Design, Technology & Innovation · host Paul Madden

The 221' SNAPPER was built in Canada as a Lloyds Class 1 Search & Rescue vessel for Arctic Duty. With 7,200 hp she can ram through a meter of ice. She has a cruising endurance of more than 30 days with 39 persons on board. Having been refitted for seismic research, she now features a humongous garage/hangar which has a commercial heli-deck for a Bell 212 or Sikorsky. Her fuel capacity of 222,000 gallons assures her of an unmatched global cruising range. With a 46 ft beam her hull can easily be lengthened and still maintain her stability. This is a unique Expedition Yacht conversion opportunity.More info at XplorerYachts.com
