- The 221' SNAPPER was built in Canada as a Lloyds Class 1 Search & Rescue vessel for Arctic Duty. With 7,200 hp she can ram through a meter of ice. She has a cruising endurance of more than 30 days with 39 persons on board. Having been refitted for seismic research, she now features a humongous garage/hangar which has a commercial heli-deck for a Bell 212 or Sikorsky.
Her fuel capacity of 222,000 gallons assures her of an unmatched global cruising range. With a 46 ft beam her hull can easily be lengthened and still maintain her stability.
This is a unique Expedition Yacht conversion opportunity.

I worked for ATL when it came to Tuktoyuktuk brings back memories
Good work Paul. Maybe in touch again… client again considering an explorer vessel like Ragnar 👍
I have two of these that are serious ice class. The other one is 90m.
Paul,if you need somebody to put in a good word for that boat let me know.She's definitely a bulldog!
Thanks!
Thanks. Sound like you sailed on her.
I will be calling you
Love it
I need a go-anywhere explorer yacht that can survive accidental impact with floating ice and containers , but doesn’t have to cut through ice.
The intent is to use it to survive accidental ice-impact, and to rely on an ice-breaker escort if stuck.
2- It doesn’t have to be fast, but should survive the worst sea states that one finds around Drake’s Passage and in the North Sea.
3- At the bare minimum, I need a hangar that is 50ft long x 38ft wide x 12ft high for the Gweduck amphibious aircraft or the Airbus H-145 helicopter.
This is enough to also squeeze in the RIBs, Jet-Skis, and kayaks. One could then place a small submarine on the open deck.
I would prefer a larger 62ft long x 44ft wide x 12ft high hangar if possible, that could fit the amphibious aircraft, the helicopter, a small submarine, and all the tenders, but this is a preference not a requirement.
4- It should have a saloon with a covered area of around 800sft to 1200sft, a master suite with a covered area of 200sft to 300sft, 5 guest suites with covered areas from 150sft to 200sft, an office/media room/ICU room(multiple purpose) with a covered area of 150sft, a small sky deck, a reasonable sundeck, a small gym, a small pool(just large and deep enough, so my hands and feet neither touch the sides(6ft wide) nor the floor(3 to 4ft deep), and a length of around 14ft to 22ft), two dorms to accommodate 6 to 8 crew and expedition members, and 3 to 4 separate toilets, showers, and sinks for the crew.
The larger dimensions are the preference and the smaller ones the bare-minimal requirement.
I’m quite pleased with the proportions of the rooms on the Alucia, so those dimensions should suffice.
5- I don’t care about speed, but do care about survivability and economy, so it should cruise economically at 4 to 8 gallons/knot, whereas cruise with maximum power at 8 to 12 gallons/knot, and survive the worst possible sea-state.
6- I would prefer twin rudders, screws and engines, but don’t care if its diesel-electric or just diesel.
7- This is just to get the discussion started, so I’m open to changes to these requirements.
Do you have the fuel consumption figures for this yacht? According to my rough metric, every 500 HP adds around 2.5 gallons/knot or 25 gallons/hour at 10 knots/hour.
So, theoretically this could consume about 350 GPH or 35 gallons/knot, but the actual consumption can be as low as 80GPH or 8 gallons/knot on a leisurely cruise.
Fuel is the largest component of the operating expense of large yachts, so 350 GPH would translate into $42,000/day in fuel, but 80GPH into just $9,600/day.
The salary of captain is usually around $120K, that of the first mate is around $70K, whereas that of the crew is around $30K to 40K, so the total annual salaries hardly exceed $500K, whereas as insurance is around 7% of the yacht price. Anchorage and repair and management costs also aren't too high. Fuel is the single largest expense on a yacht.
I don't have fuel consumption. Ice-breaking requires twice the horsepower as normal ops and this vessel has 2x B&W Alpha Diesel, 12v 28/32 - V0, each 3600 HP
@@ExpeditionYachts Thanks for the numbers. Ice-breaking vessels are heavier, so consume more fuel even when not breaking ice. The fuel capacity of the vessels divided by the range can provide the average fuel consumption. Ice Class 1C and, preferably, Ice Class 2 suffice against light knocks. Serious breaking requires specialized nuclear-powered ice breakers, anyway, so higher Ice Classes add needless weight. I like the vessel, because when not breaking ice and cruising at a leisurely 10 knots, the fuel consumption could be affordable.
How much fuel does this consume? The main expense of a yacht is the fuel it consumes.
If you know the range, you just have to divide the 220,000 gallons fuel capacity by the range to figure how much it consumes per knot.
The crew salary, insurance and anchorage are all fixed costs. The fuel is the only variable cost, so one needs to know what that cost is?
Did anyone buy this yet?
Not yet.
It needs an indoor pool.
How about a splash in the ice?
Give me a few weeks. The way they are destroying the dollar $15 mill will be a bargain.
You got it.
