The largest of Damen's SeaXplorers, 77M LA DATCHA was launched in Vlissingen July 7th 2020. Proud to have led the project management of this ground-breaking new build, Fraser was there to experience the moment. “The largest purpose designed and built 77m SeaXplorer has just been launched by Amels. It was impressive to see her lines on the water - she has her own pedigree,” said Alexander Pizano, Fraser Naval Architect & Project Manager. “Just one year ago, her outfitting stage started. It is hard to believe what Amels, the owners team, Fraser and all subcontractors achieved in this extremely tight schedule and from the early project start.” Offering adventure without limits, LA DATCHA features an ice-classed hull and is Polar Code compliant, designed to cruise the world’s wildest natural regions with no sacrifice to the levels of luxury on board. With 5 extraordinary decks, she can accommodate 12 guests in 6 staterooms. SPECIAL FEATURES: 1. The yacht’s observation lounge is nine metres above sea level for sweeping views of remote destinations 2. Guests can explore beneath the surface thanks to the dive center and 500 m sub 3. The yacht’s 12 staterooms include two Master suites and a VIP 4. A glass elevator allows easy access between all four decks With delivery due in September 2020, LA DATCHA is now open for charter bookings on any part of her three-year world cruise. Full itineraries are available for all legs: follow the link for more details on LA DATCHA launch https://www.fraseryachts.com/en/second-of-two-seaxplorer-yachts-project-managed-by-fraser-technical-launch/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=referral

DOCK & GO The revolutionary Dock & Go system, a technology developed by BENETEAU, simplifies yacht maneuvers when sailing on engines. Whatever the wind and current conditions, or the harbor configuration, you can control the movement of your boat in a limited space with the kind of accuracy you have never achieved before. Now present on all 50 to 55-feet Oceanis sailing yachts, this high-tech innovation combines engine assistance and a bow thruster synchronized with a sail drive pod rotating to 360°. At once intuitive, safe and fun, this on-board intelligence means you can move the boat in a limited space and dock in the most difficult harbor slips. Read more: https://www.beneteau.com/us/page-innovation/dock-go -- About BENETEAU -- The first BENETEAU boats sailed from the shipyards of Croix-de-Vie over 135 years ago. Since that time, the BENETEAU brand has been synonymous with quality and innovation to all those who have taken to the water – first by the fishermen who made their livelihood from the sea and then by the legions of recreational boaters around the globe. Over the years, our commitment to innovating and embracing ideas, no matter how unconventional, has been at the forefront of who we are in order to bring you the best boat possible. BENETEAU was one of the first boatbuilders many years ago to use computer-aided design (CAD) as well as lighter, stronger composite building materials. We’ve also been at the cutting edge of using greener materials and processes to do our part in protecting the incredible world which we explore. However, all this innovation doesn’t mean we’ve turned our back on tradition. One thing we’ve discovered in over a century of boatbuilding is that new-world innovations work best with old-school craftsmanship. This combination has resulted in some of the most iconic sailboats and powerboats in the world – supremely seaworthy yachts renowned for their sense of style, luxury, and comfort along with their creative use of space and new technologies. -- Philosophy -- We’re a lot like you. We love the water in all its forms – the ocean, bays, lakes, and rivers. And we love sharing the boating lifestyle with our family and friends. This love manifests itself in every BENETEAU built in any one of our many manufacturing facilities worldwide. Every BENETEAU sailboat and powerboat on the water reflects the best efforts of the finest architects, designers, and craftsmen along with the highest quality materials and the latest innovations. When you purchase a BENETEAU, you become a valued member of our BENETEAU family. For this reason, our after-sale service is second to none as evidenced by the multitude of National Marine Manufacturers CSI Awards for Excellence in Customer Service. At the core of this outstanding service is our exceptional dealer network. Every one of our authorized BENETEAU dealers will be there for you – from choosing the right yacht to the handover and beyond. Your dealer will be your able guide when it comes to maintaining your boat properly and will help you maximize the return on your investment when it comes time to step up to another BENETEAU – and it usually does! We wouldn’t have it any other way.
