Expedition yacht charters have traditionally been associated with a predominantly Western clientele. It is, however, interesting to find that <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1011" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Simpson Marine (Company)">Simpson Marine</a>, a superyacht brokerage, new-build and charter service company established in 1984 that specialises in the Asian market, has achieved notable success in this sector. This success highlights a shifting dynamic in the preferences and behaviours of yacht charter customers, particularly in the Asian market.An expedition yacht charter offers the charter of specialised yachts designed for long-distance, autonomous cruising in diverse marine environments, including remote and often challenging locations. The yachts, often known as explorer yachts, are built for durability and extended voyages, featuring robust hulls and advanced navigation systems that enable them to withstand rough waters. Larger and offering enhanced autonomy, they allow for extensive travel without the need for frequent resupply, allowing them to travel to more remote destinations.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/288142/image/large-e746be8f1d68aafc2188dc72b6190da9.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/288142"><a href="https://www.superyachttimes.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="">SuperYacht Times</a> writer Enrico Chhibber recently sat down with James Clayton, the Director of Sales at the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7547" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Simpson Superyachts (Company)">Simpson Superyachts</a> division, to discuss the latest trend of expedition yacht charters in the Asian market and explore how <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1011" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Simpson Marine (Company)">Simpson Marine</a> excels in facilitating this type of service for their clients.Origins of&nbsp;<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1011" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Simpson Marine (Company)">Simpson Marine</a>&nbsp;expedition yacht charter market: The conversation began by tracing the origins of the increasing demand for expedition yacht charters. Clayton, noted <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1011" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Simpson Marine (Company)">Simpson Marine</a>’s pioneering role in the yachting industry within the region, stating that: "Historically, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1011" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Simpson Marine (Company)">Simpson Marine</a> has been at the forefront, facilitating not only the sale of expedition yachts, with some being from the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/374" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Sanlorenzo (Company)">Sanlorenzo</a> Explorer range (500EXP <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/6442" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Ocean Dreamwalker III47.0m (154'2&quot;)Sanlorenzo2018">Dreamwalker III</a>), but also managing the sale of the first superyacht in Asia—the 64.8-metre <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/212" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Benetti SpA (Company)">Benetti</a> superyacht <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/607" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Ambrosia64.8m (212'7&quot;)Benetti SpA2006">Ambrosia</a>. This vessel featured advanced technology, such as diesel-electric propulsion pods, enabling it to travel thousands of miles.”Moreover, Clayton noted that over the years, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1011" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Simpson Marine (Company)">Simpson Marine</a> has facilitated the construction and delivery of approximately four expedition yachts. He also noted that this growing interest in expedition-style yachts has been mirrored by an increased demand for chartering the explorer-style vessels in the last five years.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/178726/image/large-35669913bf6a17e70198ac1bcdc548e2.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/178726">Ewa Starchuska, Vice President of Marketing at <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1011" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Simpson Marine (Company)">Simpson Marine</a>, affirmed James Clayton’s observations, stating, “Asian clients have increasingly sought out expedition charters. Although still in its early stages, this trend started to emerge around &nbsp;five years ago, it has been steadily growing.”Client composition and expedition preferences at Simpson Marine: When asked about the composition of the Asian market and its main nationalities, Clayton explained that the majority of their charter clients are Chinese, accounting for more than half. “Around a quarter are Thai, a market not to be underestimated,” he noted. He also mentioned that a significant number of clients are Singaporeans, a group with considerable wealth. Indonesians, too, are beginning to enter the market. However, Clayton affirmed the Chinese customers are the primary clientele for expedition charters at the moment.Further highlighting the exploratory preferences among Asian buyers, Starchuska shared details about a <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/374" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Sanlorenzo (Company)">Sanlorenzo</a> 500EXP Explorer superyacht &nbsp;which was delivered in La Spezia, Italy in 2019 and only recently arrived in Hong Kong this January after a remarkable five-and-a-half-year global journey. She explained: &nbsp;“The superyacht has navigated the globe, from the Caribbean to Alaska, across the South Pacific, and through Australia and New Zealand, before reaching the Philippines, Indonesia, and China. This extensive itinerary further underscores the exploratory desires of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1011" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Simpson Marine (Company)">Simpson Marine</a>’s Asian clients.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/311984/image/large-8664763a4e8e5691123eb1c4eca4b92d.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/311984">Clayton then pointed out that he had booked a long charter for Chinese clients in Svalbard, Norway—a beautiful, semi-autonomous group of islands under Norwegian jurisdiction. He described it as a place where guests can see polar bears and have incredible experiences. Clayton then added that this is just one of many examples of charters they have booked in such exotic locations.Popular cruising destinations: As the conversation progressed, Clayton expanded on the popular cruising destinations among his clientele. “During the Northern European summer, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1011" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Simpson Marine (Company)">Simpson Marine</a>'s clients frequently visit the Arctic regions. Many expedition yacht charters head north, with key destinations including the Arctic Ocean, the Norwegian coastline, Iceland, and Greenland.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/311997/image/large-a0186b8770aabdcaa74f2e8707da0d12.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/311997">In the summer months of June, July, and August, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1011" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Simpson Marine (Company)">Simpson Marine</a>’s clients enjoy itineraries that feature the stunning northern parts of Norway, such as Lofoten, renowned for its breathtaking scenery. For those in the Americas during this period, Alaska is a favoured destination. Transitioning to spring, Clayton highlights the unique opportunities for heli-skiing off the coast of Greenland, particularly in April. These expeditions necessitate yachts equipped with helicopter landing capabilities, crucial not only for the sport but also for ensuring safety and addressing medical emergencies.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/311983/image/large-25b46e69da7296ab9e002fb324eee9ae.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/311983">As European winter sets in, those seeking a winter adventure turn their sights toward Antarctica, where it is summer. The optimal time to visit is during the Southern Hemisphere’s summer months of December, January, and February. Additionally, Patagonia offers exceptional heli-skiing opportunities in October or March, appealing to adventurers during South America's spring and autumn. Beyond these cold-weather activities, Clayton notes fantastic opportunities for diving in the South Pacific, including French Polynesia, and the Indian Ocean destinations like Mauritius and Seychelles, ideal for those eager to engage in underwater expeditions during diving-centric weeks.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/178724/image/large-dfe261686fb51fadf9eed11621e4c051.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/178724">When asked as to why the Asian charter clients are drawn to expedition yacht charters, Clayton attributed this to a distinct approach to adventure. He further commented that: “Unlike typical European charter clients who might prefer the social scenes of beach clubs, tennis, and upscale restaurants, Asian clients seek more remote and adventurous experiences. They are not interested in the conventional beach holiday that can be enjoyed without a yacht. Instead, they are drawn to charters that allow them to explore off-the-beaten-track destinations that are accessible only by yacht, where the vessel's self-sufficiency becomes essential.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/311998/image/large-8281415a52a995634c7073373bd12081.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/311998">During the ongoing conversation, Clayton further elaborated explaining how expedition yachts are particularly suited to these needs because they are equipped with the necessary amenities for extended, remote voyages. This includes ample cold storage, medical facilities, and the capability for emergency evacuations. Additionally, the range of these yachts is a crucial factor. Unlike a standard yacht that might travel around the Mediterranean with a range of 1,000-2,000 nautical miles, expedition yachts can have a range of 5,000-7,000 miles, enabling them to reach remote islands in the South Pacific and return without needing to refuel.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/311985/image/large-3647d2e88ebf04f45d7000af5bea255f.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/311985">Clayton further commented that planning these trips requires meticulous attention to detail. Everything needed for the duration of the journey must be onboard from the outset, as there won't be opportunities to resupply at a local store. This level of planning makes the charters highly organised and tailored to the specific needs of their clients.” It's a growing market, especially popular among Asians who appreciate the unique blend of luxury and adventure that these charters provide,” affirmed Clayton.
