About CKLASS NAUTIQUE

The CKLASS NAUTIQUE is a truly unique explorer yacht with a distinguished past and world-cruising capability. Originally built and operated by the Japanese government as the fisheries training vessel LUCAS, she was engineered for long-range reliability and serious ocean duty before being expertly converted into a luxury global explorer by HYS Shipyard.

Under the acclaimed Hybrid conversion approach led by HYS Naval Architect Simon Jupe, only the finest elements of her commercial hull and primary systems were retained; everything else—from superstructure and interior to mechanical systems—was newly crafted to superyacht standards. Completed in 2015 and owned privately since launch, she received hull repaint in Viareggio in 2023/2024, ensuring immaculate condition inside and out.

Built for ambitious voyages, she boasts a 7,000+ nautical mile range, a rare private master deck with hot tub, and world-class amenities including a cinema room, gym, spa, observatory deck, and elevator. Her exploration credentials are completed by a helipad, three tenders, and an array of toys, offering the ideal balance of adventure, autonomy, and luxury living at sea.

A remarkable vessel born from professional heritage and refined through visionary custom conversion, CKLASS NAUTIQUE stands as a one-of-a-kind
