At first glance, the Edmiston Vard 1-08 Kilkea yacht looks like a supply vessel, but it's only after exploring the luxurious exploration ship that the true character is revealed. Designed by Bannenberg & Rowell, the Edmiston Vard 1-08 Kilkea yacht is intended to provide a lavish experience for those onboard.
Accommodations for up to 36 passengers and crew along with the capacity to stay at sea for up to 30 days before needing to be refueled make the yacht ready for open water.
Outfitted with a helicopter hangar and capable of reaching speeds of up to 15.4-knots, the Edmiston Vard 1-08 Kilkea is a supply vessel-like ship that's designed for recreational cruising.
Construction of the Edmiston Vard 1-08 Kilkea has commenced with the $62-million ship being completed later this year.
