2015 Custom Chantiers Piriou Expedition Yacht

The 77m Piriou, Yersin, expedition vessel boasts self-sufficient cruising capabilities and engineering prowess in extreme conditions. Please enquire to schedule a viewing. 

Created to face challenging expeditions in the utmost comfort and safety, the 76.6m full custom-built expedition vessel YERSIN brings unparalleled capabilities.
Compliant with SOLAS passenger ship regulations and having completed its 10-year class survey, YERSIN is the only full diesel electric expedition vessel available for sale. 
This vessel was designed for cost-effective operations, with maintenance costs factored into her technical concept. Building such a vessel with an identical comprehensive specification today would require more than double of her value.

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.

YERSIN’s interior features a guest elevator serving all six decks, expansive living spaces and class certified furnishings. She has accommodation for up to 18 guests across eight cabins.
