It was an exciting moment on March 24, 2016. After months of hard work, explorer yacht Legend is launched at Icon Yacht in Harlingen, Holland.
The in 1973 IHC built expedition yacht was extensively refitted and renovated, transforming her into an icebreaking passengership with a 1B-Swedish/Finnish classification. She was lengthened in the stern by 3,60 metre, completely restyled by extending the superstructure and rebuilding the mast to make her sleeker and more attractive for future charter guests. More deck space as created for relaxing and enjoying the environment. Heavy cranes were added to lift all toys and tenders one can imagine. The aft deck was transformed into a fully classified helicopter deck. Above that she is fully Lloyd’s and SOLAS certified. Her darkgrey hull gives her the elegance she deserves and makes her stand out beautifully in arctic areas.
