The New Build Yacht Redefining Sustainable Exploration:

Captain Arctic

A Visionary New Build Yacht for a New Era of Yachting and Environmental Sustainability

CAPTAIN ARCTIC is a groundbreaking new build yacht created for a new era of sustainable, low-impact exploration. Developed in partnership with CNOI and Goltens, this next-generation explorer yacht combines Ice-Class engineering, hybrid-electric propulsion, and integrated solar technology to set a new benchmark for modern yacht new builds.

Her recently completed ice-strengthened hull, reinforced with an inox bow for safe polar navigation, marks a major milestone in the construction of one of the most innovative and environmentally conscious new build yachts on the water today.

“We’re not just delivering a vessel; we’re helping shape the future of low-impact maritime exploration.”

Solar Panel Yacht Innovation: Powering Exploration Responsibly

Her solar panel yacht technology, combined with hybrid-electric propulsion and advanced battery storage, enables cleaner cruising through remote, fragile environments such as Greenland and the Arctic, setting a new benchmark for responsible yachting.

As a solar-powered new build yacht, CAPTAIN ARCTIC proves that exploration and environmental stewardship can coexist, setting a new course for the future of sustainable superyachting.

Sustainable engineering features include

  • Solar panels integrated into the superstructure, supporting hybrid-electric propulsion
  • Five aluminium sails maximising energy efficiency
  • Electric engines and battery park enabling silent, zero-emission cruising
  • Onboard waste treatment systems for minimal environmental impact
  • Ice-strengthened hull with inox-reinforced bow for safe polar navigation
  • Ice-class certification for year-round Arctic operations

Interior Design Crafted for Life on a Modern Explorer Yacht

While CAPTAIN ARCTIC’s engineering delivers power and precision, her interiors, designed by Joséphine Fossey, bring warmth, harmony and a quiet sense of luxury. Every space onboard this new build explorer yacht blends functionality with emotion, using tactile materials, soft natural light and a calm atmosphere that encourages connection with the surrounding landscapes.

Refined French-inspired cuisine and thoughtful, surprising touches throughout the yacht elevate the guest experience, reinforcing her position as a new build yacht created with both purpose and soul.

A New Era for Yacht New Builds

The ongoing construction of CAPTAIN ARCTIC represents a major milestone for yacht new builds, especially those focused on sustainable expedition capability. Every technical and design decision, from solar integration to Ice-Class navigation systems, reinforces Pelorus’ belief that innovation and environmental responsibility must go hand in hand in the next generation of new build yachts.
Her final hull painting will be unveiled later this year, marking the near-completion of a solar-powered, hybrid-electric new build yacht created for bold, responsible exploration.

CAPTAIN ARCTIC is approaching completion, a pioneering new build yacht designed for explorers who value both adventure and environmental responsibility.

FAQs About This New Build Yacht

CAPTAIN ARCTIC has been designed from the outset as a sustainable new build yacht, integrating solar power, hybrid-electric propulsion, an extensive battery park, onboard waste treatment systems and an Ice-Class hull. Every engineering choice reduces environmental impact, enabling low-emission cruising in fragile regions such as Greenland and Svalbard.

The yacht combines integrated solar panels, hybrid-electric propulsion, advanced battery storage, aluminium sails for energy optimisation, and an Ice-strengthened hull reinforced with an inox bow. These innovations make CAPTAIN ARCTIC one of the most advanced new build explorer yachts in the market.

CAPTAIN ARCTIC is being developed in partnership with CNOI and Goltens, bringing together cutting-edge engineering and Pelorus’ expertise in expedition-led design to create a next-generation sustainable new build yacht.

Integrated solar panels generate renewable energy that supports the hybrid-electric propulsion system and charges the yacht’s battery park. This enables silent, zero-emission cruising, reducing reliance on traditional fuel and minimising environmental impact.

Unlike conventional yacht new builds, CAPTAIN ARCTIC prioritises sustainability, energy efficiency and expedition capability over traditional luxury-first design. Her hybrid systems, solar integration, Ice-Class features and low-impact engineering set a new precedent for responsible superyacht construction.
