YERSIN is a 76.6m (251.25ft) ICE CLASS EXPLORER Luxury Motor Yacht launched in 2015 by renowned French shipyard PRIOU.

Created to face challenging expeditions in the utmost comfort and safety, the 76.6m full custom-built expedition vessel YERSIN built by Piriou brings unparalleled capabilities.

YERSIN is a full custom-built vessel, designed with world-class exploration and self-sufficient features under experienced project management. She is tailored to appeal to owners with a passion for adventure.

Compliant with SOLAS passenger ship regulations and currently completing her 10-year class survey, YERSIN ensures the highest standards of safety and operational integrity. This vessel was designed for cost-effective operations, with maintenance costs factored into her technical concept.

YERSIN is the only full diesel electric expedition vessel available for sale. Building such a vessel with an identical comprehensive specification today would require more than double of her value.

Exterior Design & Engineering

YERSIN yacht is unlike any other. Commissioned by an experienced yacht owner & designed by PJ Kubis, YERSIN’s dark hull demonstrates a distinctive aesthetic, complementing her robust exterior design engineered to navigate through extreme conditions.

This vessel’s defining characteristics lie in her ability to venture into remote and unspoiled environments in waters from -20°C to +50°C. Equipped with a dynamic positioning technology, she adheres to a protocol of no anchoring to prevent seabed damage. Her underwater hull coating with silicon “non-biocide” antifouling enables access to maritime protected regions. With her azipods enhancing manoeuvrability, YERSIN is well-equipped to navigate diverse waterways, from open seas to inland lakes and rivers.

YERSIN’s Schottel diesel electric propulsion system provides economical fuel consumption with an autonomy of 12,000 nm, and is paired with a 99.8% exhaust filtration system. Onboard she has advanced water treatment and recycling solutions with an oversized dry and cold food storage and garbage treatment facility allowing for extended self-sufficient cruising. YERSIN’s autonomy is also obtained by an extensive spare parts stock and a fully equipped engineering department allowing to carry on most maintenance and repairs onboard.
