Custom SeaSpark Expedition Yacht Just Listed

YM is pleased to present the incredible 2012 SeaSpark Custom Expedition Yacht 'SAVANNAH' to the market.

Built by Sea Spark in New Zealand, SAVANNAH is an 82ft expedition yacht engineered for extended offshore cruising and demanding commercial operations. Her design prioritises range, functionality and onboard comfort, combining generous accommodation with the systems and equipment required for lengthy passages. Having travelled extensively, she benefits from a recent refit and a comprehensive programme of maintenance completed in October 2026.

Commercially surveyed under AMSA 1C, 2B and 2C classifications, SAVANNAH also holds Category 2 Dangerous Goods Vessel certification, allowing her to carry significant quantities of tender fuel. These credentials, alongside her substantial tank capacities and established cruising history, make her a compelling option for an owner seeking a capable offshore platform.

RECENT MAINTENANCE & UPGRADES:

SAVANNAH underwent a comprehensive haul-out in October 2026, with works covering both cosmetic presentation and key mechanical components. The hull and topsides received a professional wash and polish, finished with Collinite 885 marine wax, while Pettit Vivid antifoul and Propspeed were applied to the hull and running gear respectively.

Additional works included replacement of all four propeller shaft bearings, installation of four new anchor rollers and the issue of a new LPG gas compliance certificate. Her AMSA out-of-water periodical survey was also completed, followed by a sea trial with performance figures documented.

ENTERTAINING, RELAXING AND LIVING ONBOARD:

Access from the water is via a substantial King StarBoard swim platform, fitted with removable stainless-steel railings and leading directly into the aft cockpit. An aft-facing corner settee provides comfortable seating, while the 2m-wide hydraulic lazarette hatch opens to considerable storage capacity. An overhead lifting beam, rated to 300kg, makes handling provisions and equipment considerably easier. Direct engine room access is also available through a watertight side door.

Inside, the main saloon brings together warm Merbau, Teak and Tasmanian Oak finishes, large surrounding windows and comfortable leather seating. A dedicated dining area, air conditioning and Samsung 50-inch television complete the space. For extended time offshore, onboard connectivity is supported by Starlink, Wi-Fi and an Iridium Extreme satellite phone.

The forward-positioned galley is equipped for extended stays, featuring a 470L Fisher & Paykel French door refrigerator/freezer, Smeg gas cooktop and oven, LG microwave, Bosch dishwasher and Matador drinks fridge.

Above the main saloon, the elevated skylounge offers another place to unwind or take in the surroundings. It features a generous sofa, 65-inch Samsung television and Bose 535 Home Theatre System. Outside, the adjoining boat deck provides an oval alfresco dining table and 25 rod holders, making it equally suited to entertaining and fishing activities.

HELM & NAVIGATION:

The pilothouse is arranged for practical operation, with a dedicated helm chair, separate navigator seating and Simrad navigation electronics. Port and starboard pilothouse doors allow easy movement onto the side decks, while a separate captain's cabin is positioned immediately behind the helm.

ACCOMMODATION FOR UP TO 14:

SAVANNAH's accommodation layout comprises four guest cabins alongside separate crew quarters, providing sleeping arrangements for up to 14 people.

Two matching midship cabins each feature twin single berths, private ensuites and Samsung televisions. Further forward are two bunk cabins, complemented by an additional crew cabin with two bunks and overhead access to the bow. These forward accommodation spaces share a wet head and separate toilet.

A dedicated laundry further supports longer voyages, fitted with a Fisher & Paykel washing machine and separate dryer.

ENGINEERING, RANGE & ONBOARD SYSTEMS:

Power comes from twin Iveco FPT N67 280 engines, each producing 300hp. With an impressive 40,000L fuel capacity and 12,000L freshwater capacity, SAVANNAH is equipped to undertake substantial passages with reduced reliance on frequent refuelling and resupply.

Her generator package includes a Solé Advance 54.5kW unit installed in 2025, alongside an additional Onan 50kW generator. Twin Sharplift watermakers provide further support for extended operations away from shore-based facilities.

On deck, a custom 1,256kg davit handles tender launching and retrieval, while the expansive foredeck offers additional working room and equipment storage.

Combining considerable range, commercial survey credentials, practical accommodation and an extensive onboard equipment inventory, SAVANNAH presents an opportunity to acquire a purpose-built expedition yacht with the capability to undertake extended offshore passages and a variety of commercial operations.
