Xplorer 77 LA DATCHA named Charter Yacht of the Year 2026

Xplorer 77 LA DATCHA has been named overall Charter Yacht of the Year 2026 at the Blue Ocean Club Yacht Awards, following her win in the Best Charter Yacht 70m+ category. Selected from 25 finalists across five size categories, LA DATCHA received the highest distinction of the 2026 awards. Congratulations to the entire LA DATCHA team on this well-deserved recognition.

Why LA DATCHA Stood Out

Blue Ocean Club highlighted LA DATCHA’s breadth of destination and activity options, her purpose-built expedition systems and the way her observation, wellness, social and operational spaces work together.

The recognition reflects what sits at the heart of the Xplorer concept: genuine expedition capability combined with guest comfort, privacy and service. LA DATCHA’s helicopter facilities, three-person submersible, dive systems and cold-climate capability open up an exceptional range of destinations and activities, while her Spa, observation spaces, Beach Club and six-suite layout provide a high level of comfort for 12 guests.

Delivered by Damen Yachting in 2020, the 77-metre Xplorer is designed to operate in both polar regions and tropical waters. Ice Class and IMO Polar Code compliant, she is equipped to take guests to some of the world’s most remote destinations.
