DAMEN SHIPYARD GROUP has announced that its custom-designed SeaXplorer 77 expedition yacht is on schedule for completion and delivery by 2020.
In late July, the Dutch shipbuilding giant marked a milestone in the 253ftyacht’s construction with a keel-laying ceremony at Damen Shipyards Galati – the largest of Damen’s 33 shipyards around the world – on the banks of the Danube. The owner attended the ceremony and welded the traditional coin on the keel.
Following the hull-building phase, the 77m luxury expedition yacht will move to Damen’s Vlissingen East yard for completion and delivery is scheduled for the fourth quarter of 2020.
The build is a customised design from Damen’s SeaXplorer range.
