Damen Yachting in the Netherlands has launched La Datcha, a 252-foot SeaXplorer that is expected to be delivered by the end of this summer.

La Datcha is also expected to be displayed at the first Amels and Damen Yachting Private View Event, which is scheduled for September. She will be the second delivery in the Damen Yachting SeaXplorer range.

The owner of La Datcha intends to use her for heli-skiing in Russia (she has an ice-breaking hull) and scuba diving off Papua New Guinea. The yacht has a dual helicopter setup with a primary helideck as well as a standby deck for a second helicopter. A belowdecks hangar can protect both helicopters from the elements.

Accommodations are for 12 guests. Amenities include a beach club with a sauna, steam room, massage room and gymnasium.

Some 25 crew will be on board to operate what Damen calls an “extensive collection of toys, aircraft, tenders and equipment.”

Is La Datcha available for charter? Yes. She’s expected to be in the Mediterranean this October before heading to the Indian Ocean for winter 2020-21.
