S/Y Quest
Purpose-built for expedition sailing. A proper sea boat that has crossed oceans, threaded through ice, and anchored in lagoons where no other vessel has been. She is not a floating hotel — she is a working sailing vessel, and that is precisely the point.
The Boat
S/Y Quest is a 64-foot steel-hulled expedition sailing vessel, purpose-designed for remote ocean voyages. She combines the robustness of a true bluewater cruiser with the comfort needed for extended expeditions. Her steel hull can take whatever the ocean — or the ice — throws at her. Welds certified to Level 4 — the same standard required for icebreakers — approved by the Swedish Maritime Authority for operations in the Southern Ocean and Antarctica.
