THIS Is M/Y ‘Sherakhan’! The ONLY Explorer Yacht of Its Kind (Available for Charter) 

So better than the usual hideously stark designs. Classic in every way. Love the hull shape.

Absolutely Stunning Vessel, credit to the Owners and Crew, Beautiful.

Back when I was a student on the Nautical College in Den Helder (the Netherlands) I have sailed on this vessel three times. Of course this was before her conversion. Wonderful to see her back in this video.

I love conversion boats. Got character, cosy, intimate yet still luxury. I also like the older style

Magnificent! I am always stunned, however, that regardless of the size of these super yachts, they always seem to have tiny toilets. I call them "telephone toilets" (unlike the old telephone handsets). That means they are so small, one has to to move forward and aft to do each part of your personal business. For me, I always have the existing toilets taken out of a home I have purchased and an "handicapped" toilet installed. Makes for the best comfort and ease. I love the cleanliness of this yacht, especially the mechanical areas. A clean, well painted and lit engine room tells me that the yacht has a crew that is proud of her.

This is not the usual over sized modern speed boat I see around today. It is a real ship and reminds me immediately of the the Christiana. I could live with the single caterpillar engine with no worries, as many a much bigger ship have had in the past. And I would feel more comfortable and safer travelling around the world, aboard this ship than most other flash yachts I see around today. I was stuck in the Indian ocean in a monsoon once on an old 16,000 ton ship with this design hull, and these canoe hulls are designed to handle the rough weather. It does not matter how fast your boat can go, it won't help in rough seas because you have to slow down in rough seas to match the seas pace to survive. Even a 200,000 ton ships has to do that. This is a liner hull and not a cruise ship hull which has to avoid rough weather like the plague.

Beautiful!

What an incredible and beautiful Explorer. She purrs like a kitten. I am sure you and your family had a wonderful time. I know I would. 👍

Ehat a treat and what an awesome vessel. To be invited aboard, for any reason is just amazing. I'm sure they were excited to get some new people aboard, but to also,habe someone that loves yachts and especially explorer yachts. The ultimate dream. Hearing the kids in the background knowing they are tzken care of....priceless

How nice to see, my brother in law was involved in the first build (refit) back in 2006, for what I remember the old trainings vessel was filled up to her neck with asbestos that all had to go out, it was done on a shipyard in Poland before any other work could be done to her. Also nice to see some instruments I worked on in the past on the bridge, so I can say there is a little bit of me on board of this wonderful vessel!

What an incredible vessel, and what an amazing tour! This is beyond a super yacht, more like a small private cruise ship! It's perfect to celebrate a milestone event with a larger group of friends and family. I would be delighted to cruise around southwest of Turkiye & the Greek islands (one day maybe...)

That yacht is amazing 👍👍👍

Incredible yacht

This is next level. Wow

I made trips on the original Princes Margriet when I did my Engineer training to become 5th engineer 🙂

My all-time favorite motor yacht is the Taransay built by Rossinavi. I hope that someday, somebody posts a proper tour. That being said, I prefer pretty much any cutter or schooner over a motor yacht any day.

Reminds me of my days on smaller yachts sleeping aft near the engines during a night passage and you couldn't hear the engines, but you could feel them and the slightest roxk of the waves just puts you to sleep like nothing else. On bigger yachts, that's all mitigated and on longer passages, up,forward, you got some motion that wasn't so peaceful. But in the,guest areas...calm motion.

Fantastic ship….not just as an Explorer Yacht but overall. Great video…terrific job with the size and how much time you had. We saw what we needed to see to make us very jealous of your visit with your family 😊

This is probably the most beautiful ship I've ever seen. Especially all the different elements of dutch maritime design, such as that wheelhouse has clearly its inspiration of tugboat Holland, the funnels are undoubtedly connected with Bureau Wijsmuller and Smit Lloyd, somehow I also got a sense of the Holland America Line ships in its over all design. I've probably missed a few eastereggs but nonetheless an absolute brilliant vessel

Absolutely beautiful stunning, is like a small cruise ship love it

I'd have thought that that shaft would have had some sort of guard over it!

Yep, build in 1966 in the Netherlands as a marine instruction vessel. If it ain't Dutch, it ain't much!

The production value is getting so much better John...well done. I've been a fan of Sherakhan since she had a blue hull!

Nice!❤️👍It’s great that you were able to have your family along. What an awesome experience it must have been. Especially for children with a caring crew. Well deserved! You do a fantastic job!

The engine almost sounds like a greyhound bus (minus the screaming bus passengers). Love the colours and decorations. The number of passengers is perfect too. For someone who would love to live on his own personal yacht by himself but at the same time with some other people, this would be perfect. Though the Joey Room (owner's cabin) would not be that big unless its the crew's tv lounge as well as my cabin.

Beautiful Yacht! 👌🏻 And great video 👍🏻❤️😃

Wow, I was getting bored of all the newer super yacht tours on other channels as they start to blend together after awhile of seeing the same yacht types and manufacturers. The main shape is pretty standard on them and exterior/interior finishes start to look or feel the same. But this boat is stunning! All the same luxury, but with a different and amazing layout. Great tour.

If that's not a James Bond 007 Yacht I don't know what is!❤❤❤

Wow that ship has class without ostentation.

Yes!! A really good video! This is how it should be! And a very nice yacht at that!! What a spectacular yacht!

Style, Style and Style just BEAUTIFUL, who did the interior design ?

Stunning! thanks again John for another great video ⚓

Love it . . Id own it . .

The WOW factor❗️

thats a good one.

Good NZ morning John. Just had a quiet laugh to myself about the gym. If they really are coming down this way to Antarctica, even during our southern summer, they'll be dealing with the Roaring 40s, Furious 50s and Screaming 60's. They don't go away. Guests will get all the Gym work they need without trying. Speaking from experience. Even with the stabilisers working overtime. There's a huge difference between cruising the Med, and getting chucked around down here. Nice vessel though. However I still like "Just B." Thank you for the presentation. Quality editing mate. Until next time, take care.

Lovely motor yacht so much more character than a modern. Great tour. Thanks

What a tour! Thanks! Engine room is outstanding

Start my trip from Trieste, Italy. Visit the many islands of Croatia on the jet skis. Onward to Tivat and Kotor, Montenegro. How about a stop in Durres, Albania, before heading to Athen, Greece. Time to head back. Stopping in Puglia and Sorrento, Italy before arriving back in Trieste, Italy 🇮🇹. Don't get me started on Patagonia and Hobart.

Superb tour, John! Many thanks!

WOW👍

that is awesome

That is awesome and I enjoy your videos

Beautiful, it has a feel of the turn of century yacht. It feels like guests in more formal attire should be moving about, and a Belgian gentleman by the name of Hercule. 😊 peace

Croatia and/or the Adriatic..... Yeah!

i don't even have the money to even be-able to step on broad

Superbe navire

😍

I want one

Ya what we would like to see on board yachts like that..... Can we even say that here? You know, being a navy guy and 1 thing I know aout navy guys - they are the same as army guys!

Nooossa q belo exlplorador, enorme e com bastante luxo p este tipo de iate. Tenho algo que me diz q ele devia ter 2 motores, mesmo sabendo q o q ele tem é o inquebravel Caterpillar, e ja esta fazendo no proximo ano 2025, 20 anos de uso, com certeza com todas a revisões feitas a contento e rigor p segurança de todos q nele desfrutam de belissimas viagens e explorações. Parabeeeens.

👍👌

10 gallons per mile isn't quite what I'd call efficient, even for a yacht of this size.

Crew area? Forgot how many crew it holds.

Preferred the original, taller , superstructure.

The master suite has only 1 Eames chair? In an awful floral pattern, to each his own. An original Eames chair and ottoman in black leather is worth over 7K. Extremely comfortable and well worth the... price

I’m not sure I would want to go to the Antarctic in a single engine ship.

Pendennis conversion?

Must cost a fortune to run though 🤔

For sale? 😊

Selling your channel to advertisement now.

I loved every square inch of this yacht. I hope to own one exactly like this one day soon. But I sure wouldn't charter her if she were mine, nor allow any children onboard.
