She was a beautiful looking vessel before the conversion,and I am pleased that they kept the traditional lines of a graceful ship,without the obvious swimming platform aft.she is a joy to look at and keep an old retired seaman like me happy..a very well put together video.cheers Roly🇬🇧.
Hi l am a old Dutch sailor working in the Offshore for 40 years world wide my latest jobs where as a towmaster and l know this vessels when they where on station outside Hook of Holland and to have this vessel as a private yacht is a dream no new build super yacht can compete with this beauty l will sail on hear all the way I will sail with her
That is sooo cool that they where able to turn a retired vessel into such an amazing exploration yacht!! And I just love the hull design on the bow and the stern.
Happen to see her tied up in San Diego fall of 2020. Very unique spent an hour just staring at the total design. What a dream to cruise the world on a yacht like this.
Thank You for a great video, images, and narration. I think this is the way to go for serious / practical / experienced owners. Find the sturdiest / most seaworthy hull, and get a realistic assessment of the cost and process of converting same to your specifications, and ongoing operation.
Just subscribed but have watched many of your videos. Some of the ships are super but this one is a real keeper. Truly exceptional. Would have been even better to see the interior!
For me it’s like it’s like night and day and I know that some will call it industrial in her looks but for me she’s yes got a slightly industrial look but she has a classic look too. 👍🙏
ooooh Johnno, you're back with us from your slip into temptation, good boy. Yet another beauty that's going on the list, (interior not withstanding). As you know, one of the first things i look out for on an explorer/expedition yacht is the size of the tender and their storage. I don't see the point of travelling to the far flung parts with only a 4 seat condom with 20hp strapped to the back. This baby has 2 of a sensible size with one stored port side, love it. As me bruvver Oliver is always saying, more please.
When I was a young boy I wanted to sail around the world That's the life for me Living on the sea Spirit of a sailor Circumnavigates the globe The lust of a pioneer Will acknowledge no frontier
Hell will freeze over before I ever get a chance to buy a ship like that. If I do get wealthy enough, I would like to own one and use it as is. Go through all systems and make sure everything is up to par and do some serious serious boating.
G'day Y/B. As a recent subber from Nz to your channel, I'm impressed with your presentations. I can't help thinking of the saying, "what's in a name? " Just B....yourself, happy, etc. Love the look of it. Good work. Take care mate and atb from down here in Nz.
G'day! Thanks for subscribing and thanks for the feedback - I really appreciate it. Re the name of this incredible expedition yacht, I think that you are spot on.
I think each one of this class has been converted now, except for Markab which has been used for the last 7 or so years as an armoury boat in the Red Sea for a maritime security agency that specialises in supplying anti piracy crews for the hotspots around there. She’s now back on dry land in the Emirates, asking about €1.5m - start a GoFundMe 😉
Great Vid , thanks a lot 👍👍👍 . Really a dream Yacht , perfect job in all things . Can't imagen how to do this better , unbelievable how the design this old ship in a great pearl of the sea ! How many dollars or euros for this stunning job ? Think we both must work a bit more to collect the cash in our wallet for such swimming dream !
looks ice class B. A bit slow.. 17knts would be preferable wit a 12knt cruise, but that would require substantial re-engineering. Still would like a crane of 5T+ and helipad.
Even if the owner can genuinely afford to buy the boat. Cruise around for three years then sell it. How can you put a price on experience. Because at the end, about all we have left are memories.
Absolutely stunning yacht

Glad you enjoyed the video, shipmate, and thanks for the comment ⚓️🌊
Superbly put 👍🏼
Love the classic lines and the canoe stern. Beauty.

I will sail with her
Absolutely beautiful!!! Her lines are so sensual and so at home in the sea. My type of vessel indeed.
🙌
Absolutely stunning!
Very well done, by someone who had avery clear vision of what was possible.
I love anything overbuilt.
Any thing worth doing is worth over doing. America 101.
That’s beautiful
This could be my dream boat!
Great choice!
This is very close to my ideal. 40 year mariner, 26 yrs as master. This is a ship, one of the few, I'd be proud to be seen aboard.
JB should be for “Just Beautiful” Thank you for bringing this expedition yacht to your channel. ✅
Glad you enjoyed the video 🙌 thanks for your kind words 👍
Is it for sale

I would have done the same re the staring lol
That is a beautiful looking yacht
She certainly is
Very Nicely done
Thanks for watching 🙌
The yacht's name is 'STEEL' and one of the most versatile yachts I have ever seen!
Agree!!!!❤
But steel was made by liberwitz??
Great looking yacht.
I think so too!
Very beautiful she is
🙌

Thank you very much!
Beautiful, the grey color doesn't do her justice though.
Great find! What a vessel! Thanks for posting
Thanks for watching 🙌 glad you enjoyed the video 👍

Living on the sea
Spirit of a sailor

...but she is not a leaky boat .. : )
Bottom line, how much does this thing cost?

Sad we can't see inside
I would love to do some filming on this boat
Please give a review differences on: Explorer yacht vs Expedition yacht
Great idea - thanks for the suggestion.

What??? No interior footage?
looks like you could turn anything into a Yacht from Ferry, tugboats, fishing boats, and freighter boats.
How can you not show the rooms?
It is a private yacht and, alas, there are no photos/images of her interior.
I think each one of this class has been converted now, except for Markab which has been used for the last 7 or so years as an armoury boat in the Red Sea for a maritime security agency that specialises in supplying anti piracy crews for the hotspots around there.

Unless you strip these old boats of all equipment and engines don't see as viable. But if it is maybe could turn out nicr
Please tell me "Just B" does NOT belong to Justin Bieber!
😂
Even if the owner can genuinely afford to buy the boat. Cruise around for three years then sell it. How can you put a price on experience.
