Commercial 1960

Introducing the BEAUPORT, a stunning 169-foot classic expedition yacht that combines ice-class steel construction with the ability to accommodate 10 guests in luxurious cabins. This commercially registered vessel is a rare find, offering an ocean-going platform with a proven track record and significant recent investments. Originally built in Quebec for the Canadian Coast Guard, BEAUPORT was engineered to excel in icy conditions, setting her apart as a serious long-range yacht rather than a mere conversion. Reimagined as an explorer yacht in the early 1990s and continuously upgraded, she expertly merges commercial-grade durability with comfortable, yacht-style living spaces. Her robust steel hull and superstructure, complemented by reinforced framing and round-bilge displacement, provide exceptional seakeeping and stability. With fin stabilizers and an impressive fuel capacity, BEAUPORT is optimized for economical transoceanic cruising, ensuring operational efficiency and versatility for a vessel of her size. The deck space of BEAUPORT is remarkable, delivering the volume and lift capacity typically found in much larger expedition vessels while maintaining efficient operating costs. The foredeck features twin 2,000 lb Navy anchors and substantial ground tackle to enhance her commercial-grade capabilities. Equipped with an 8-ton telescopic hydraulic crane, she can effortlessly handle serious expedition logistics, heavy equipment, and tender operations. The upper boat deck offers extensive operational space, historically supporting helicopter operations, with two independent knuckle cranes on either side of the funnel for accommodating tenders up to 25 feet long. Currently, she carries a 29-foot Blackfin fishing boat and a 22-foot Boston Whaler Dauntless center console. However, her adaptability is her true strength, allowing her to accommodate: - Up to 22 guests in 10 cabins - 12 crew members in 6 cabins, though she operates comfortably with a crew of 9 - Two tenders up to 40 feet on the foredeck - Two additional tenders up to 25 feet on either side of the funnel - Space for inflatables, dinghies, or personal watercraft - A designated helicopter landing area - A vast cargo hold for transporting quad bikes, motorcycles, ATVs, expedition provisions, and specialized gear. This versatility makes BEAUPORT an ideal multi-role platform for luxury expedition cruising, commercial charters, scientific research, adventure tourism, or private global exploration. Inside, BEAUPORT offers an impressive layout with spacious accommodations for up to 22 guests in 10 staterooms, including an opulent owner's suite with a king berth, walk-in closet, and Jacuzzi tub, all with private deck access. Guest areas are thoughtfully designed on the main and lower decks, ensuring privacy and efficient service flow, featuring a formal dining salon for 12, a spacious main deck lounge, skylounge, and covered alfresco dining areas for social gatherings. Recent refurbishments in 2023 have enhanced the interior's appeal. Powered by twin 640HP Fairbanks Morse opposed-piston diesel engines, BEAUPORT ensures reliable propulsion with exceptional fuel efficiency. These durable engines are complemented by a substantial inventory of spare parts, with factory support readily available. Electrical power is generated by twin 120 kW John Deere generators, ensuring consistent onboard energy. A separate auxiliary generator supports hydraulic systems, while an emergency generator adds redundancy. Registered for commercial use and compliant with MARPOL regulations, BEAUPORT is a versatile revenue-generating platform ideal for high-end adventure charters, scientific research, expedition tourism, and private global cruising. With 683 GT of internal volume, she competes with modern explorer yachts at a fraction of the cost of a new build. Held within a Panamanian foundation structure, BEAUPORT offers an attractive option for international ownership with potential tax efficiencies, making her a top choice for discerning buyers.
