Considered by many to be one of the finest expedition yachts ever built, the 64 metre Turmoil is now for sale through Camper & Nicholsons International with Michael Rafferty offering her at an asking price of US$50,000,000.
With her ice-strenghtened hull and 6500 mile range,Turmoil was built by Royal Denship in 2006 to travel great distances to any part of the world.
The owner who commissioned the yacht had a great deal of boating experience. He spent 10 years traveling in his first expedition yacht, the 46 m Palmer Johnson of the same name. Before that he owned a series of beautiful ocean cruising sail boats.
With this experience he built this the last boat before he died and she has proven to be one of the most exceptional yachts of her class. One feature that many people can appreciate is her capacity for carrying three large tenders including one of 10 metres plus and two more of 8 metres. This makes for great exploring when you reach remote locations and it is a feature very few large yachts share.
Stepping inside Turmoil, guests are greated by her stunning American Cherry woodwork which flows throughout the boat, rivalling some of the finest yachts built. There is a complete owner’s deck under the pilothouse which is similar to a good sized apartment and includes two staterooms, a beautiful observation lounge facing forward and a private outside aft deck.
Turmoil has a total of eight staterooms and can accommodate 16 guests and 14 crew. She also has a large helicopter deck. To truly appreciate the features of this expedition yacht, as well as her stunning interior, Michael Rafferty strongly recommends a visit.
He says “This yacht has just completed a refit at Rybovich Shipyard including extensive paintwork and she is once again ready to cruise.
She currently located in Florida but is as you might expect, not for sale or charter to US Residents while in US waters.
