Custom designed by Vripack and completed in 2023 to the specifications of a seasoned yachtsman, SCINTILLA MARIS was conceived as the ideal go-anywhere platform for serious cruising and exploration, combining seakeeping, comfort, quality, and technical sophistication in a highly distinctive package.

SCINTILLA MARIS is a newly constructed explorer yacht with a recycled hull built by the Damen yard and enhanced by state-of-the-art electric propulsion, navigation equipment, and vessel management systems – ensuring she stands apart in her sector with genuine long-range capability and a strong emphasis on efficiency, quiet operation, and environmental flexibility. Her hybrid system allows for fully electric operation, supporting unrestricted use in regions with carbon emission bans, while Dynamic Positioning enables the yacht to remain stationary without anchoring – a valuable feature for sensitive coral areas, deep fjords, and wildlife observation.

Her interior is open, bright, and contemporary, designed to maximize daylight and strengthen the connection between guests and the surrounding environment. The large master suite is positioned midships on the lower deck and features a dramatic 1.5m skylight and generous 2.4m ceiling height, while the configuration of five guest cabins offers flexibility to suit a variety of owner and guest requirements.

On the main deck, a full-beam country kitchen style galley creates a more informal and social setting, while large glass doors connect the lounge directly to a centrally located beach club with shaded lounge areas, bar, galley, and water-level boarding platforms.

Further enhancing her appeal, SCINTILLA MARIS offers exceptional exterior spaces including ambient deck heating and a six-person observation platform elevated 15 metres above the waterline.

The purpose of SCINTILLA MARIS is beyond having fun and has been elevated to serving as a meaningful platform for accessing the inaccessible, while actively engaging in exploration, science, and adventure.
