MORE
Fun, adventure and exploration. Three words that go hand in hand with our range of luxury SeaXplorer yachts which take the superyachting experience and capability to another level. Three words put into practice over the last few weeks as the Damen Yachting team, our brokers and even our Clients all experienced what it means to Xplore more!
Regional Reach
It was during the Gulf Superyacht Summit 2022 in Dubai, when Damen Yachting was first asked the question of how to bring more superyachts to the Gulf. A challenge that inspired the team to look at what experiences the Gulf region has to offer and how the yachting solutions within the company’s portfolio could really offer superyacht Owners something different. It wasn’t long before SeaXplorer was on the table.
Adventure Potential
SeaXplorer soon became not only the answer but also the inspiration to putting these different types of experiences into action. The day before the Dubai Boat Show kicked off, Damen yachting put its first ever Xplore Desert Adventure into play. An event inspired by the contrasts of the city of Dubai itself and how the SeaXplorer allows the Owner to bring all the toys while exploring the region.
For this first Desert Edition, the focus was on our community of brokers in the area or attending the boat show. After a warm welcome by Managing Director Rose Damen and Sales Manager Jorrit Pilaar, our SeaXplorer Design Manager Enrique Tintore presented the group of attendees with an insight into the evolution of the SeaXplorer range. An informative and educative interactive discussion that centred around the opportunities the SeaXplorer creates to discover both water and land adventure.
Desert Action
Actions speak louder than words so this was an event that put theories of fun and adventure in the desert to the test. The next few hours were spent with an ‘Xplore’ of the desert dunes on the outskirts of Dubai. Guests put their off-road driving skills and nerves to the test with an ATV safari through the desert sands. As the guests raced through the dunes, everyone experienced the adrenalin packed race of an off-the-beaten-track adventure. Lunch in the desert, and an opportunity for guests to try their hand (or legs!) at sand boarding, provided the perfect backdrop to further discuss the future of luxury travel, superyacht ownership and how a SeaXplorer is the perfect yacht to take you there to Xplore!
Ready for Adventure
Whilst the team and brokers put adventure theories to the test, the latest SeaXplorer was getting ready to embark upon hers! The SeaXplorer 58 was successfully launched and went on to complete a series of sea trials ahead of her delivery in the next few weeks. When delivered, PINK SHADOW will be the third SeaXplorer out on the waters. With her Ice Class hull for safe operations in polar waters and customised configuration, the SeaXplorer 58 has been built and designed to meet the adventurous Owner’s globe-trotting lifestyle with family and friends to explore polar and tropical regions alike.
