The New Build Yacht Redefining Sustainable Exploration:

Captain Arctic

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

A year into her creation, CAPTAIN ARCTIC has reached a defining milestone: her Ice-strengthened hull with inox-reinforced bow for safe polar navigation is complete. This achievement marks a major step toward unveiling one of the most advanced and environmentally conscious new build yachts in modern exploration.

Developed in partnership with CNOI and Goltens, CAPTAIN ARCTIC brings together cutting-edge engineering and Pelorus’ expedition expertise. Over 3,000 people have contributed to this extraordinary project, a powerful collaboration reshaping the future of low-impact maritime travel.

“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 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

Design with Purpose: Functionality and Emotion

While her engineering speaks of strength and precision, her interiors reveal warmth, beauty, and soul. Designed by Joséphine Fossey, every space onboard CAPTAIN ARCTIC blends functionality with feeling.

Expect tactile materials, soft natural light, and a sense of calm that invites connection, to the landscape, to others, and to oneself. Refined French-inspired cuisine and thoughtful, surprising moments onboard make this vessel as emotionally resonant as it is technically remarkable.

A New Era for Yacht New Builds

The progress of CAPTAIN ARCTIC’s construction marks a milestone for yacht new builds worldwide. Every decision, from her solar integration to her advanced navigation systems, reflects Pelorus’ belief that innovation and sustainability are not opposing forces but partners in creating a more responsible future for exploration.

Her final hull painting will be unveiled later this year, symbolising the completion of an extraordinary vision: a solar-powered yacht built for the bold, the curious, and the conscientious.

CAPTAIN ARCTIC is on her way. She’s happening. For the bold.
