Damen Yachting has launched the first Xplorer 60, designated as SX6001. The Dutch boatbuilder says the new 60-metre yacht is designed to support long-range exploration while maintaining high standards of comfort and autonomy.

The vessel, which was was previously known as the SeaXplorer 60, has been constructed at Damen Yachting’s shipyard in Antalya, Turkey and is currently undergoing final outfitting, which includes commissioning and sea trials. Damen says the model is designed for owners seeking capabilities beyond those of conventional superyachts.

Features of the Xplorer 60 include the crow’s nest and observation lounge, providing direct access to the exterior fore deck and offering panoramic views of remote landscapes. The yacht also features a spa area on the bridge deck aft, which includes a full-size whirlpool.
