Kuipers Shipyard Holland - Blue Pearl

Built in steel by Kuipers Woudsend in 2000 after a design and naval architecture by Dick Boon of Vripack Yachting International. Her most recent refit was in 2016. The yacht was the last yacht built by the senior Mr. Kuipers prior to his retirement.

This outstanding explorer yacht has cruised all around the world on her twin 300Hp Caterpillar 3406C diesel engines. The voyages ranged from Venezuela to Newfoundland on the east coast, two Panama Canal transits and from the Galapagos to Alaska in the Pacific, as well as Florida, Atlantic Ocean, West Med, Greek Islands and Turkey. With a cruising speed of 10 knots and a maximum speed of 12 knots, she has a cruising range of 4000-8000 nautical miles.

Her interior teak by John Munford can accommodate up to 6 guests in 3 cabins, consisting of an owner’s cabin, one double guest cabin and one twin guest cabin, all with en-suite bathrooms. For the crew, there are 4 berths in 2 cabins with en-suite bathroom and a separate crew mess.

The spacious saloon is enhanced with large well-placed windows, it is very pleasant and keeps guests in touch with the outside. The dining room, configured as part of the main saloon, offers room for 6 guests at the circular compass rose design table built from four different woods.

The yacht offers a spacious area, which is covered by the boat deck and climate-controlled. Up the stairs is the sundeck, featuring a large custom built-in Jacuzzi style spa and sun pads.
