New Ponant motor yacht completes sea trials
Expedition cruise line Ponant’s new upcoming expedition motor yacht PASPALEY PEARL recently completed sea trials off Fremantle in Western Australia.
That represents another key milestone completed for the vessel which is part of a new joint venture.
The JV is with PASPALEY pearling company for the boutique expedition motor yacht, which will launch with a cruise in the islands of Eastern Indonesia in January 2025.
Captain David Marionneau, Ponant’s Director of Marine Operations Asia Pacific, said: “We took PASPALEY PEARL through all her required operational and safety manoeuvres. The sea trials were a resounding success.”
“PASPALEY PEARL, originally launched late 2021, is due to undergo a multi-million-dollar refit and will emerge with refreshed livery, newly designed interiors and expansive open decks.”
The ship has capacity for 30 guests and 21 crew, including four expedition guides.
