1998 Explorer designed by Vripack and built by Vitters - Dardanella

Adventure is in Dardanella’s DNA. Unlike other expedition vessels, she was not converted from a previous life; Dardanella was purpose-built to explore. And explore she has, having since traversed some of the most remote, uncharted waters on earth. Launched by renowned shipyard Vitters in 1996 and refitted in 2018, Dardanella is more than a yacht – she’s a passport to uncharted territories. Blending go-anywhere, do-anything capability with comfortable and welcoming onboard spaces, Dardanella is as unique as she looks. Her impressive 4,000nm range, ability to access the most remote cruising-grounds and self-sufficiency provide the autonomy and peace of mind to allow you to discover the very best of what the ocean has to offer.
