Perhaps the most exclusive superyacht genre, the modernday global explorer is designed and constructed to operate in the most remote destinations and withstand the harshest of environments, all the while delivering complete luxury. They are the ultimate expression of yachting status. PLANET NINE is the realisation of an experienced yacht owner’s ambition to create the complete explorer. Designed by the renowned Tim Heywood, every inch of this superb yacht has been carefully considered to deliver the best possible on-board experience for guests, while her handsome, navalinspired style sets the right tone wherever you sail.
With a massive 2,100 GT of volume, PLANET NINE is Ice Class and can accommodate up to twelve guests and three occasional workers in eight elegant cabins, including a separate owner’s deck and a main-deck VIP suite.
A large beach club and sundeck are the perfect places to experience the outside world, whether exploring quiet sandy bays or arctic regions you will always have the best view and vantage point.
The specification reflects PLANET NINE’s near-limitless capabilities, including four custom-built RIBs for local exploration and a helipad and hangar for her custom helicopter (details to follow). The helipad can be turned into a basketball or volley ball court, or into a vast sunbathing or party area. The crew is just as impressive. Many of the 20-strong were chosen for their specialist skills in areas such as diving, trekking, nutrition, and fitness.
