«Icebreaker» Tinkov

Oleg Tinkov's superyacht, which is not afraid of Antarctic ice

And Oleg Tinkov looked at the explorer like this. In 2016, the banker returned from another trip to Kamchatka, and in his hands accidentally got a catalogue of the shipyard Damen, which together with «Rosneft» is developing ships to supply ice-resistant oil and gas platforms. By the way, at that time the SeaExplorer prototype was still 75 meters long - it grew later.
The six-deck ice class expedition vessel is equipped with hangars for two helicopters, garages for two snowmobiles and four jet skis at once. The SeaExplorer 77 has so much to offer for a reason - not much of an unexpected event. Plus we note a diving center with a decompression chamber and a submarine. In turn, the increased fuel tanks allow the yacht to stay in autonomous navigation for up to 40 days.
The harsh climate that the SeaExplorer 77 will constantly face will not prevent 12 guests from staying on board comfortably.
You lie in one of the hot tubs with heated water - including one on deck - and there are penguins and white bears walking on the ice floe somewhere nearby. Or...
...or you're in a warm viewing room and watching the animals of the North from there, the good news is that the walls are transparent. The polar sun does not seem to be so «useless!»
Obviously, SeaExplorer 77 is an expensive pleasure. €100 million is the minimum that Oleg Tinkov parted with while purchasing it. However, the boat can be more than paid off. How? Look. The businessman has La Datcha project: he rents his houses and yachts to all those who have enough money for it. For a week you can get a superyacht icebreaker for €690,000. And demand is there. Bill Gates, according to Tinkov, has already wondered if «La Dacha» can be rented at once for three weeks.
While the ship is still under construction. It is planned that SeaExplorer 77 will be publicly displayed at a boat show in Monaco next year.

«La Dacha» is a big luck.

Yachting comes in many forms. Oleg Tinkov, who is included in the Forbes ranking of the 200 richest people in Russia - 2019, is firmly convinced of this. The SeaExplorer 77 icebreaker boat, which is being built by Dutch Damen, will help him to sail to places inaccessible to others.
