Plan B hits the market

One of the most capable and unique exploration yachts has re-entered the brokerage market with christie yachts….

Plan B , a unique explorer yacht with a rich history, is now available for sale. Originally built as a survey vessel for the Royal Australian Navy and known as HMAS Flinders , Plan B  has since been transformed into a highly capable exploration vessel. 

Boasting a range of over 6,000 nautical miles,  Plan B  has a long history of exploring some of the world's most pristine locations, including the Arctic Circle, Patagonia, New Zealand, Galapagos Islands, Easter Islands and Myanmar. Its ability to carry and operate a helicopter as large as an Airbus 145, along with an impressive array of tenders and toys, makes it an ideal vessel for adventure-seeking owners.

With 746gt of volume for a 50-metre vessel, Plan B  provides ample space for guest accommodations, entertainment and dining. Equipped with Quantum Zero Speed Stabilization and a steel displacement hull with a 3.1-metre draft,  Plan B is a stable, capable, and comfortable vessel both underway and at anchor.

Following a significant yard period in 2018/19, during which new generators were installed, Plan B remains in class with Lloyd’s Register.

Will Christie, CEO of Christie Yachts , comments: “It is exciting to be representing Plan B  for the first time she has been for sale. She is unique in so many ways. We know that in an increasingly busy world, more and more people are looking to escape and explore the many remaining unspoiled areas of our beautiful planet that can still only be reached by sea.  Plan B is the perfect, proven, capable platform for a new owner seeking adventure while living in true comfort.”

NOTE to U.S. Customs & Border Protection

NOTE TO U.S. CUSTOMS & BORDER PROTECTION

Due to the international and fluid nature of the yachting business and the fact there is no global central industry listing service to which all charter yachts subscribe it is impossible to ascertain a truly up-to-date view of the market. We are a news and information service and not always informed when yachts leave the charter market, or when they are recently sold and renamed it is not clear if they are still for charter. Whilst we use our best endeavors to maintain accurate information, the existence of a listing on this website should in no way supersede official documentation supplied by representatives of a yacht.
