Meet UNDRA

A 2023 Dutch built 50-foot aluminum explorer yacht, designed for long voyages and sustainable living.

In Swedish, 'undra' means to wonder, to be in awe. For us, this is the vessel that transforms curiosity into experiences.

UNDRA

(noun) Pronunciation: ˈuːndrɑː/ (OON-drah) Etymology: From Swedish undra, meaning "to wonder" or "to be curious about"

Built for the Edges of the Earth

If Captain Nemo were to trade his Victorian submarine for a modern pocket explorer, it's easy to imagine him choosing something like UNDRA.

A vessel built for range and reliability over unnecessary luxury. Where the Nautilus vanished beneath empires, UNDRA slips quietly between them. Compact yet capable, she favors endurance over excess and curiosity over conquest. Her bare aluminum hull can meet polar ice, and her systems run entirely off-grid, yet her warm interior makes the sea feel like home.

We can go where roads, marinas, and expectations end, letting UNDRA carry us into the margins where the world still feels vast and wild.

Born for the Harsh and the Beautiful

7mm Thick-gauge Aluminum Hull: Strong enough to nudge through icy waters and shrug off floating debris.
Transatlantic Range: A 340hp engine with over 3,000+ nautical miles on a single tank. We are capable of crossing oceans without a fuel dock in sight.
Efficient & Fast: With a 19,5t lightship V-shaped fast displacement hull means she balances fuel economy with the ability to cover ground when the need arises (like that storm coming up from behind).
Self-Sufficient Power: 1600 Watts/24v of solar and two 24v wind generators let us anchor out indefinitely.
Surprisingly Compact: Inside, she is a 50ft vessel that feels like a 60 footer with 3 queen size cabins, 3 heads and galley fit for a chef. She is warm, quiet and bright, the perfect refuge after a long day of exploring. And yes, THERE IS A DISHWASHER. #TeamJason
Go-Anywhere Draft: At just 1.2 meters (that's less than our sailing catamarans!), we can explore shallow anchorages and remote coastlines others can't reach.
All-Weather Pilothouse: 360° views, 2 captains chairs, and heated comfort for watchkeeping through storm or snow. Plus, two additional helm stations outside.
Inland Waterway Ready - Going inland is no problem with a folding mast! Our air draft is 7,20m (mast up) and 3,40m (mast down).
Sustainably Built - Environmental Friendly Cork, hand laid Scandinavian oak, Ice Going Ecospeed bottom (no chemicals being leached into the water)

But UNDRA Isn't Perfect, Yet.

We have a few upgrades we want to make. We think about impact based on how we actually live. Since 90% of cruising life happens at anchor, that’s where efficiency matters most. So that is what we will focus on first.

Stabilization: We need to keep her steady when the seas get unruly both at anchor and while underway. From fins to gyros, we've got some investigating to do.
Lithium Powered: Batteries are the heart of any world cruising yacht. It's what powers everything from our radar for spotting storms to our navigation gear and satellite communications. Right now UNDRA has a large AGM house batter bank. Which is ok but not optimal.
Kite Power: The vessel was designed for and reinforced for a kite. Now we need to find the right one.
Hybrid Comfort, Extended Range: Right now she has solar, wind generators, a high output alternator and an efficient diesel engine. Ideally, we want to pair all of that with an electric motor for even greater autonomy.

The Mission Ahead

This marks the beginning of our next great adventure, exploring the world from the arctic to the Antarctic and everything in between. Documenting life in extreme latitudes, and sharing stories from the most remote corners of the planet.

As always, we’re inviting you aboard for the journey, the challenges and the transformation of this vessel as we prepare her for the wild.
