Developed in partnership with Innovation Yachts, the 72-foot expedition yacht for the journey will be upcycled using innovative, low-impact, fully recyclable materials, eschewing traditional synthetic fibres like fibreglass.

Coupled with the latest in electric propulsion technology and powered entirely by natural elements – sun, sea and wind – this yacht is designed to navigate the Arctic with zero fossil fuel use, offering an expedition with an unprecedented minimal environmental footprint.

Expedition Zero CEO, Andrew Cowen said: “The marine industry’s response to our launch has been phenomenal, affirming our belief that it’s possible to combine high-adventure sailing with low environmental impact.

“There’s no better proving ground for our first yacht than the fabled Northwest Passage, a pristine environment that demands respect and minimal impact from those who traverse it – this is adventure sailing at its most responsible and innovative.”

The call to adventure is now issued to those who dream of navigating the Arctic’s challenging waters, with Expedition Zero seeking skilled sailors and intrepid explorers for its limited six crew spots available. Comprehensive training and specialist gear, included in the expedition, ensure all participants are well-prepared for this ultimate test of sailing prowess.

Expedition Zero’s initiative also extends beyond the voyage itself. Through its unique Northwest Passage membership club, the organisation offers enthusiasts the chance to be part of this groundbreaking journey. Members gain exclusive insight into the yacht’s design and construction phases, participate in sea trials, and are offered significant discounts on future Wavysail adventures.
