New Sea Ranger MMS 55: A Bulletproof Cruiser

Spoiler alert: Keep reading only if you’re interested in bulletproof expedition-type cruising boats made to tackle rough sea conditions anywhere in the world.

The new Sea Ranger MMS 55, made by a commercial yard in northern England, isn’t meant to stay at the dock. I don’t know how many people it can hold for cocktails or a sunset cruise around the harbor.

The Sea Ranger has a sturdy steel-plate hull; it weighs almost 60 tons. It comes with the looks and the performance of a North Sea trawler, with a high bow and decks lined with scuppers.

Powered by twin 180-hp John Deere diesels, the Sea Ranger MMS 55 has a range of 1,500 nm at 8 knots. Top speed: 10 knots.

The new trawler carries a Category A offshore rating, so it should handle punishing sea conditions. It has a deep bilge keel and fin stabilizers to control roll, and bow and stern thrusters to make low-speed maneuvering easy.

The salon on the main deck opens up to the pilothouse, with doors leading to the port and starboard side decks. The galley and dinette are below, with three cabins – a double for the master and two guest cabins with bunk beds. There’s one head and shower.

The foredeck carries a six-person Zodiac with a 15-hp outboard for exploring, plus a crane for launching and a liferaft for the worst-case scenario.

The boat was made by Rob Langton, the managing director of the MMS shipyard on the Humber. It also comes in a workboat version.

Specs.: LOA: 59’1”; Beam: 17’9”; Draft: NA; Disp.: 60 tons; Fuel: 1,690 gals.; Water: 264 gals.; Power: 2×180-hp John Deere diesels. Read more:

Sea Ranger 44/8

If you haven't spent time aboard a trawler-type cruiser, you're unlikely to appreciate just how differently and effectively this kind of boat functions compared with the archetypal aft-cockpit flybridge cruiser.

If you haven’t spent time aboard a trawler-type cruiser, you’re unlikely to appreciate just how differently and effectively this kind of boat functions compared with the archetypal aft-cockpit flybridge cruiser. It’s primarily to do with movement. The twin saloon side doors and aft cabin companionway allow far more flexible and quicker progress around the boat. And because the height differences between the aft cockpit, side decks, aft deck, and flybridge are all fairly small, the movement between them is quick and very safe. Huge side decks and good bulwarks also transform safety levels – taking children and pets cruising becomes a real possibility. Practicality is a priority on the Sea Ranger, evident, for instance, in the good stowage and fiddles, and clever details like the offset davits and fender eyes. The space around the engines, their drip trays, and the hatches over their primary fillers provided a welcome surprise, as did the convenience of a wide lazarette. And being able to comfortably cope with six for dinner is a real luxury.

Given the generally fastidious attention to detail, the clutch of minor shortcomings was unexpected: the fiddly mechanism on the side- boarding gate, inadequate foredeck locker handles, and rattling doors, for instance. However, along with lowering the table, enlarging the galley worktop, and providing ladders so that kids can reach the light switches, these changes would all but complete the prototype boat’s development ­ the last 0.05% is only £200 and a few hours’ work away.

As well as safety and practicality, the other defining element of the trawler breed is the light, airy saloon, which deceives you into thinking it’s much larger. Because of the tremendous window area, sitting in the saloon in any type of weather and being able to fully appreciate the panorama outside is quite a different experience from most other boats of similar size. And so much nicer.

SEA RANGER Yacht – Extraordinaire $50M Superyacht

The SEA RANGER yacht is not the typical sleekly opulent yacht; she is a converted ocean-going ice-class tug boat that towed oil platforms and salvaged distressed tankers.

She was first built in 1973 by German shipbuilders Schichau Unterweser, with the interior styled by Heinz Rollers.

Yachting enthusiast Jack Setton later bought her. He had her converted into a luxurious yacht with a rugged exterior capable of visiting the polar ice caps just as easily as the Caribbean.

The fascinating history of the 77.7m ocean-going yacht includes time as an oceanographic research boat.

SEA RANGER yacht interior

The exterior of the SEA RANGER yacht may appear rugged and utilitarian, but the interior is entirely luxurious. The interior was originally styled by Heinz Vollers and delivered in 1973.

SEA RANGER’s conversion from an ocean-going tug boat to a yacht was in 1994 by Malta Drydock Company, which made her a comfortable and luxurious boat capable of taking trips to every corner of the globe in style.

There is accommodation for ten guests in 5 suites and 19 crew members for a luxury experience.

The low-key luxury of the yacht is stated through wide and comfortable decks that provide lots of space to lounge and dine.

There is a jacuzzi, a basketball court, swimming pools, a helicopter pad, a garage full of tenders with a 40ft cabin cruiser, a seaplane, and numerous small boats.

SEA RANGER yacht exterior

The SEA RANGER yacht was built by Schichau Unterweser at their Bremerhaven shipyard. She appears utilitarian with her rugged exterior and her aft crane. In 1994, the exterior was re-conceptualized by Kusch Yachts for a French owner.

The rugged exterior displays her past life as an ocean-going vessel ice-class tug boat with a steel hull and superstructure.

She was originally built to be a tug for towing oil platforms across the ocean and salvaging distressed tankers. Now, she is the best platform to explore every corner of the world with family.

Her black hull and large crane are a part of her ability to traverse every part of the world safely and securely, all while in the lap of low-key luxury.

SEA RANGER yacht specifications

The 77.7m yacht has a draft of 5.77m and a beam of 13.3m. She is fitted with twin Deutz engines which allow her to cruise at 13kn and reach a top speed of 18kn. She displaces 1,890 GT.

She is Lloyds registered and has a range of 31,000 nautical miles. She was fitted with Quantum stabilizers in 2004 to provide a stable and enjoyable yachting experience. She has an annual running cost of $5 million.

She was later resold to an American businessman who renamed her Lone Ranger and refitted with a wide range of tenders ready to carry families across the world.

After 15 years in service, the American businessman donated her to an oceanographic institute that used her as a marine research ship for three years.

He is worth $500 million and owns a Romanian Company called GSP( Grup Servicii Petroliere ) that provides offshore services for oil, gas, and wind energies.
