REV Ocean

VARD 194.90 m 2019 Norway Available for Charter

REV Ocean is a large research expedition vessel and expedition yacht project built by VARD. The vessel is intended to support ocean science, environmental research and mission work, while also including superyacht-level guest accommodation. Public source data records the vessel at approximately 194.9 metres in length, with accommodation for scientists, guests and crew, laboratory and mission spaces, long-range capability and final outfitting scheduled before operational readiness. The yacht should be treated as under final outfitting rather than as a fully delivered private yacht.

How to read this history: Superyacht Guide estimates, brokerage asking prices and documented transaction values are stored as separate record types. The first baseline record marks the beginning of permanent Superyacht Guide value-history tracking; the absence of an earlier record does not mean the yacht had no earlier market value or sale history.
