ith an extensive sailing background, at the age of 26, Jan bought his first boat and sailed in Europe. Close friends of his were getting married and showed great interest on hosting their party on his boat. The event was very successful and a new turn in Jan’s career had been born. Venturing as a pioneer in his country; holding events and celebrations onboard his boat. In the successful years to come he expanded his ship-imperium up to seven party-ships.

Awesome Features:
  • Established in 1998
  • Worldwide sailing experience and availability
  • Fleet of four self-rebuilt, fully equipped and crewed superyachts
  • Custom made experience

Jan developed the idea of a luxurious, well equipped expedition yacht, able to visit the cold and still undiscovered regions of the world in style like Antarctica, Greenland, the North-West Passage and Alaska, and naturally all warmer destinations. The main goal was to create a product that combines luxury, safety and adventure.

Jan bought the former Russian ice breaker Giant and within 3 years, converted her into the first ice breaking superyacht. The Legend is a 77,4 meter expedition yacht that features both luxury and adventure, for groups of up to 28 guests
