The 24-metre Acico motor yacht MY Ursus arrived at Balk Shipyard in 2022 for a complete rebuild, which encompasses a complete reimagining of the interior and exterior.

One of the most significant elements of the work has now been completed. The Dutch shipyard successfully affixed new bow and stern sections, extending MY Ursus by six metres and converting the vessel into a 30.36-metre pocket explorer yacht.

Balk Shipyard is collaborating with Mulder Design and the owner’s team on the rebuild of MY Ursus, with the objective of improving the vessel’s seakeeping performance and onboard living space.

Mulder Design outlined a new naval architecture, penned the exterior design and will oversee the interior design and styling with the owner’s team.
