The 77-metre converted yacht Sea Ranger has been sold, according to brokerage sources.
Originally built in 1973 by Schichau Unterweser in Germany, the vessel was delivered as a commercial ship before later being converted into a private expedition-style yacht. The conversion transformed the former working vessel into a long-range platform suited for extended global cruising.
Sea Ranger is constructed with a steel hull and steel superstructure, a characteristic that reflects its commercial origins. The yacht is widely known for its robust engineering, high endurance, and ability to operate in remote regions where conventional superyachts are less suited.
The transaction was completed with Tomaso Polli of Y.CO involved in the sale, as noted in the brokerage reporting. Further details regarding the buyer and seller have not been disclosed.
While the final sale price has not been made public, converted expedition yachts of this scale typically appeal to experienced owners prioritising autonomy, range, and operational capability over traditional luxury styling.
Over the years, Sea Ranger has built a reputation within the explorer yacht segment for its volume and durability. Converted yachts of this size remain relatively rare, contributing to continued buyer interest despite their specialised nature.
No information has been released regarding the yacht’s future plans or any potential refit following the change of ownership.
