As the ultimate expression of modern global exploration, explorer yachts are engineered to navigate the world’s most remote destinations and harshest environments without compromising on complete luxury.
PLANET NINE flawlessly realizes the vision of an experienced owner to build the definitive explorer.
Designed by the renowned Tim Heywood, every detail across her expansive layout has been meticulously considered to deliver an unparalleled onboard experience, set against a striking and elegant profile.
INDOOR & OUTDOOR LIVING
Boasting a massive volume of 2,100 GT, the Ice-Class vessel PLANET NINE accommodates up to twelve guests and four staff across nine elegant staterooms. The layout features an entirely dedicated private Owner’s deck and a principal VIP suite on the main deck.
Engineered for limitless capability, PLANET NINE carries four custom Rupert RIBs for local exploration alongside a commercially approved helipad and a subterranean hangar. When clear, the helipad transforms into a basketball court, volleyball court, or an expansive sunbathing and event space.
An impressive crew of 20 professionals ensures seamless operations, with members specifically selected for their specialized expertise in diving, expeditions, nutrition, and wellness.
