The ultimate explorer yacht, DOROTHEA III is built for traveling the world's oceans and has successfully cruised over 170,000 miles in the past 8 years. She has undergone 3 major refits over the past 10 years.

Her most recent refit, in the Spring/Summer of 2021, included complete exterior painting, generator replacement, engine overhauls, as well extensive maintenance to ships systems.
The hull is constructed in steel with 20-millimeter steel at the keel, 12 millimeters going out from the keel and turning into 8 millimeters all the way to the bullworks. The superstructure is FRP with carbon fiber stiffening in high-stress areas.
