“You may not yet be contemplating a voyage through the Northwest Passage, but it is still reassuring to know that you and your family have the opportunity to have one of the toughest hulls in the world underneath you.”
Heartening words from Simon Billington, the Managing Director of Private Yacht Groupthe European Agents for Cape Scott Yachts, who have just revealed their latest design; a 42m (137ft) go-anywhere explorer yacht.
With accommodation for 12 guests and a crew of up to 6, the hull specification across the entire range has also been increased to Lloyd’s Ice Class 1C, making Cape Scott the only luxury yacht builder to offer Ice Class hulls as standard.

The company is based in Canada and Hong Kong, with vessel construction taking place in Da Nang, Vietnam inside one of the world’s most advanced shipyards.
