- Опубліковано 11 жов 2021
- US-built (ABS Class) conversion vessel is built on an Offshore Supply Vessel (OSV) which transforms into a long-range, ocean-proven Global Expedition Yacht. The conversion will cost roughly one-third as much as a 'white yacht', and can be converted in as little as 16 months. It is custom-designed for expedition cruising and other missions requiring all-weather operations and long at-sea endurance with reliable CAT power with Ulstein Z-Drives and DP-2 commercial-grade systems. Electric Hybrid Upgrade is available as an option.

![You'll Be SHOCKED by the Interior of this 62' STEEL EXPEDITION SHIP [Full Tour] Learning the Lines](/img/n.gif)
They do make nice boats. Glad a few are being put back in some kind of service. (Even if that means being sold and retrofitted) I was a captain with ECO on OSVs for a couple months shy of 20 years.
What fantastic quality base vessels these are, and everything fitted to them will also be top quality, and they will have been meticulously maintained.
What the Interviewee said about the layer of a tar like substance beneath the deck timbers protecting the steel, which, when removed revealed the steel to be in as new condition speaks well of this class of vessel!
Once retired from commercial work they are the smart buyers choice on which to build their dream yacht!
These OSV's make excellent vessels for the Expedition class yacht conversions.
Thank you for the walk around of this lovely vessel, which truly has the Rolls Royce of bow thrusters!
Thanks for the endorsement, Felix
If I ever hit the Lotto this is the vessel I'd look for. Screw those floating Chlorox bottle yachts. These are boats with attitude.
Agree
Yep - agreed
Been on a lot of ships and I've never seen a Caterpillar engine run the bow thruster. Now I want one of these.
Nothing like the bridge over the bow. For one wild ride in tough seas.
Remember Pacific Provider?
I worked on most of the Chouest seismic research vessel from 84 to 88 engine room and traveling to Norway to get some OSV to transform to ORV and was on the Betty Chouest when they add the first dynamic position and then worked on the brand new New Venture rolling vessel for Shell ...also for Texaco on the Edison they where Cadillac back then and always transform and modified but also many issue...
Thanks for your comments, Marc. It's great to hear directly from someone with experience that they can share.
Great video and vessel!
Do you know if the C Courageous is finished?
Would love to see the finished ship
Thank you for so many informative videos. Once the conversion is complete, what size crew would she need to operate and maintain?
Technically its the same size crew for vessel operations, but you have to add the housekeeping crew for the owners and guests.
Thanks for sharing this information! How much money and time will this save from the normal process of design/build of a yacht?
You are saving at least a year and a half if you include design, engineering, getting shipyard bids etc. And you are saving 50-70% in cost compared to a new build.
We could lash my Airstream to the deck and I'm good to go. 😃
Sounds great. I'll take two. Can you have that ready in six weeks?
You got it!
Would you think there's donor for 35-40m vessel? Commercial ship usually came bigger don't they? With the growth of this pocket explorer yacht I think this is a space we all should monitor
Absolutely. There are plenty of worthwhile 35-40 meter commercial vessels, such as patrol boats and research ships that are suitable for conversion.
How many liters/ gallons per hour at cruising speed, $2 million makes it affordable, But are they thirsty.
Love the channel, and the technical info.
Fuel Consumption: 600 litres/hour @ cruising speed
>(Note: consumption depends on cruise time, & longer non-stop cruising, the lower the consumption for example- 5 days non-stop sailing @ 380 litres/hour)
Boris that was mentioned. Is that Boris that did the deign of SuRi. Looks very similar
Yes indeed- Boris Kirilloff.
Does your company do tugboat conversions as well? They would seem to be great candidates for a refitting.
Offshore tugs can make great conversions - such as Sea Wolf and Itasca. Harbor tugs tend to be all-engine and deep draft. Not great cruisers, but plenty of character.
I wonder how much of the wiring is replaced
I have a question: what is the maximum size for these donor vessels? If a buyer wants to build an ice-class, 140+ meter yacht, would they find a donor? Bear in mind the beam should now be around the 18-20 meters.
From time to time you can find a vessel available like 100-meter Aiviq with a beam of 24.4 meters. Let me know if you need one.
The Yacht Channel thank you sir.
About 14kn/12mph at about 100gph/2,400gpd.
With standard 170,000-gallon tanks, the duration off-shore without re-supply is approximately two months?
On station for work, their consumption would be less, running DP and hotel services. Often this fuel is used for re-supplying the offshore platforms.
Does this company work with smaller vessels in the 100 to 149 ft range ? And how much would a conversion for the smaller boats cost ..specifically for electric engined boats...meaning dual 400 kw lithium banks to power the 1 to 2 kw electric engines and of course keeping those 20k gal tanks for the generators
There are some smaller research vessels and crew boats that can be converted. Pm@xploreryachts.com
👍👍🇲🇨
Colonization ships with aggriculture machines, construction machines, small mining machines...
lot's of food & fuel ...
🙃😉😊
What is the approximate total cost to purchase and retrofit an OSV?
Conversion of 220’ OSV is under $15 million, plus tenders and toys.
You guys are honestly on to something and the pricing is good.
Keep up the good work and it's good since the market is growing for explorer yachts.
how much for one of those boats as-is?
Some white yacht builders are just discovering DP like it's the second coming. Not realising PSVs and OSVs have had this for decades. Same with diesel-electric.
Amen.
Hai I am from India kochi I like to build party and sunset tour boat
If u hve enough geo hotels u hve internet mobil power station 1 to another, + ground based radar too. Attacking storms at sea will be a real thing. Collecting fresh water at sea & driven back in water bladders following storms at sea real thing to wet the desert on earth fighting storm where they r born.
If only I were Bruce Wayne
Me too. Wait. I am Bruce Wayne.
Can u share me price
Generally speaking, under $2 million for vessels pre-2000.
Existing. Of course. Non existent wouldn't be there.
So $2m for donor then 20-30m for conversion! bargain!!
$2-3m for donor. $8-10m for conversion. That is a bargain.
Very cheap compared to a new build 220’ yacht which could easily run $70m or more.
I’m sure conversions like this will be bought by Russian Oligarchs. It would be hugely expensive to operate a ship like this and only multi billionaires have that kind of money,or at least “had” that kind of money.
So what happened to the Ice class Vessel. No guys the video was jumpy, and I have seem much better quality from your channel. Not impressed.
We do the best we can with limited time aboard (in 90 degree heat). The ice-class video is in editing still and will be released soon.
Dude, get over yourself. You're seeing this video for free, aren't you?
