The first everSanlorenzo superyachtfitted with a helicopter landing pad was recently put to the test as the 47-metre _Ocean Dreamwalker III_ received her first visit from a helicopter. The500EXPhas become the flagship ofSanlorenzo’s Explorer line of superyachts, building on the success of the smaller 42-metre460EXPmodel which was first launched in 2015.
The500EXPcame about as a special request from the yacht’s owner who was looking for a vessel to cruise the Pacific Ocean with where helicopter capabilities on a yacht can go a long way considering the vast distances between destinations. Sanlorenzo went back to the drawing board and customised the existing460EXPplatform by extending the aft deck by five metres while retaining the overall stylish explorer look of the vessel.
Following the launch of _Ocean Dreamwalker III_ in May this year, Sanlorenzo announced that another four units of this flagship explorer yacht are under construction including a special Ice Class version which is being built for a Dutch client.
_Ocean Dreamwalker III_ will be on display at this year’s Monaco Yacht Show in September.
