The expedition superyacht Pioneer arriving in St John’s Harbour
Seen here cruising through the Narrows into St John’s Harbour in Newfoundland, Canada over the past weekend is the refitted 46.2-metre motor yacht Pioneer. Known before as Dione Sky, the yacht changed hands in 2015 and shortly after completed a refit at Balk Shipyard in the Netherlands that saw her looking as good as new. She was built as Turmoil in 1996 by Palmer Johnson to a design by Vripack, who also developed her naval architecture.
