THE YACHT
Built in 1958, KINFISH had her most recent refit and upgrade in 2017 which converted her from a Norwegian sea rescue vessel into an expedition passenger ship.
At 121ft with an ice-class hull, she offers maneuverability and robustness. As a consequence, she’s often employed by leading scientists to conduct research expeditions.
Sleeping 12 across six comfortable cabins, KINFISH delivers 360-degree views from all deck levels. Throughout the vessel, guests will find comfortable relaxation and lounge spaces.
THE EXPERIENCE
Functional, informal, and comfortable, KINFISH is the ideal vessel for those seeking to immerse themselves in a genuine, research-style expedition.
The vessel offers fantastic visibility from all decks, perfect for arctic landscape and wildlife photography. Add a research element to your KINFISH charter and you’ll be briefed through onboard presentations about the research you’re assisting with.
KINFISH also carries a survey station fitted with sonars and ROW. On top of that, the vessel’s state-of-the-art bridge equipment allows guests to see 3D images of the seabed while cruising.
