To call VANGUARD a capable and proven long-range expedition yacht would be an understatement. Since her launch in 2023, she has covered over 9,000 nautical miles, reaching destinations as far north as Greenland. The accomplishments of VANGUARD are often sought after but rarely achieved to the level this compact and capable platform has demonstrated within just 20 months of her delivery.
Built with today's cutting-edge technologies to maximize efficiency and redundancy, VANGUARD's key advancements include a diesel-electric Praxis hybrid propulsion system, advanced DMS Magnus Master stabilization, ice-reinforced hull design, a commercial-grade dynamic positioning system, and a network of energy management systems to optimize efficiency. These features place her in a class of her own. VANGUARD was constructed to standards not previously seen in her size range and not only in her advanced systems, but also in her fit and finish. Her custom interior, designed by Arista Marine, and the meticulous attention to detail in her exterior finishing by Naval Yachts elevate her into a new standard that balances function and efficiency with refined aesthetics.
VANGUARD completed her summer transit to Greenland with two experienced ice pilots onboard, putting her purpose-built hull into action and exploring truly off-the-beaten-path destinations. VANGUARD will be returning to Fort Lauderdale this fall.
If expedition is your passion and you are looking to break away from traditional cruising standards, schedule a showing to see how VANGUARD has redefined what is possible in a modern expedition yacht.
