On board with Mike Potter, owner of 58m Superyacht Seawolf

Superyacht owner Mike Potter had made his fortune by the age of 51 – and that’s when the fun really started, with sailing, diving, vintage planes and family getting his full attention. Cécile Gauert catches up with the high-flying Canadian...

Mike Potter is trim and fit at 74 and as comfortable in a flight suit as in a wetsuit. The owner of 58.8 metre explorer Seawolf is an honorary colonel in the Royal Canadian Air Force and displays a very Canadian modesty about his accomplishments.

When I ask him about his background, he paints a quick portrait. “I was in the software business. I was very fortunate that it did well and I was comfortable bringing in professional management. It was a fair size by the time I did, so that allowed me to retire in the sense that I didn’t have to go to the office every day.”

Business articles tell the story differently. Potter forged a reputation as a trailblazer in the tech world, which earned him a lifetime achievement award from the Ottawa business community in 2016. He studied mathematics and physics, earned a master’s degree at the University of British Columbia and served with the Royal Canadian Navy.

He joined Quasar Systems in 1972 when he was 28. Two years later, he bought the company and renamed it Cognos. He took it public in 1986, following the success of the PowerHouse programming language that earned the company international renown. The largest computer software company in Canada, it employed 1,100 people worldwide by the early 1990s, and in 1995 Potter stepped aside. In 2007, IBM acquired what was now a major developer of business intelligence software for $4.9 billion.

He had been all in from the day he started and then, at 51, as the company was thriving, he decided to step aside, a move he was comfortable to make but which surprised some. He recalls telling a journalist who asked why he’d left such a successful company: “What’s the alternative? Is it better to step down when things are not going well?” He had decided it was time for him to do other things, explore his passions for sailing and flying and to raise a family. He did not retire exactly, but he had a lot more time to pursue personal interests, and a well-run family office allowed him to roam far and wide – “actually they encourage it”, he says.

An avid pilot since his early twenties, he started acquiring a collection of vintage aeroplanes in 2000 and in 2003 formed a non-profit organisation called Vintage Wings of Canada, which showcases restored aircraft at air shows and in a small museum.

“It’s an aspect of my life that has received a bit of attention in the community,” he says. “I have a collection of antique airplanes, mainly Second World War fighters, many flown by Canadians. We have British and American airplanes: Spitfire, Hurricane, Mustang, Kittyhawk, Corsair, and some even more rare examples from the 1930s and 1940s, plus a carbon-fibre aerobatic airplane and a 1950s era Canadian bush plane.” He has flown everything from gliders to a Dassault Falcon 200.

“I find sailors and pilots are often people who have the same interests,” he says. And he does love sailing. “I really grew up on the water. I was born in England, actually. My family moved to Canada when I was seven but I still remember living in a town called Southend right on the Thames Estuary. We bounced around with my family when we came to Canada, but we settled in Victoria on Vancouver Island. I grew up there and started sailing, and then I joined the Navy and went through military college.”

In the 1990s, he had a semi-custom 13 metre sailboat built in Bristol, Rhode Island. He took it from Cape Cod across the North Atlantic to Ireland and Scotland , south to the Canaries, back across the Atlantic to the Caribbean , and finally north again, completing the North Atlantic circle in Cape Cod in 1995. Friends joined him on each leg, making every trip a fondly remembered experience.

Eventually, he tapped naval architect Bill Langan, a yacht designer with Sparkman & Stephens , to create a custom 29 metre sailing yacht, which they built at Vitters . He kept that yacht for 10 years, sailing with his family throughout Europe, in the Mediterranean, the Baltic and around the UK, and in North America on both coasts as far north as Alaska .

Having a chance to spend time with his three growing daughters and exploring the world is what got the sailor into a motor yacht. He bought Seawolf , a converted ocean-going tug with its original 1956 engines, in 2008.

“What motivated me to do it really was my kids, who were four, nine and 11 at the time. I wanted several things that I wasn’t getting in a small sailboat. I wanted a little more space, so the kids could bring their friends, and I wanted to have the ability to carry equipment – toys, they call them. I wanted to carry things that could allow us to have activities aside from sailing. And I wanted the ability to go anywhere in the world. I wanted to discover the planet; not go just to the Caribbean and the Med.”

A broker brought to his attention a converted tug named Dolce Far Niente . Potter had started to think about trading his sailing yacht for a more modern explorer yacht, but when he saw the tug, as he says, “I fell in love with it”. It was more boat than he was intending to build, but he envisioned all that he could do with that deck space and range. The boat was built to go in any kind of weather, but it was more than a tough boat. It had a lovely aura of a bygone age .

The first time the tug caught the attention of the yachting world at large was at the 2002 Monaco Yacht Show, midway through a conversion carried out at Astilleros de Mallorca by a previous owner. The tug, built in the Netherlands and launched in 1957 as Clyde for L Smit & Co, was known for several feats of strength, including simultaneously towing two aircraft carriers and pulling supertankers through typhoons. But beyond that, it was a very good-looking boat, even before the conversion that brought it closer to yacht standards.

“She’s beautiful,” says Potter. “Although she was originally built in the 1950s as a commercial boat, I think the naval architect at the time made some effort to build a ship with beautiful lines. Then the conversion was done by somebody who was sensitive to that and kept those beautiful lines, so I liked that,” he says. “And it has a huge boat deck for storage. I put an 8.5 metre sailboat [a classic Herreshoff replica] on it and an 8.8 metre tender, which we use a lot for diving, plus I have a rowboat with a sliding seat, several kayaks and paddleboards, jet skis and most of all we have a massive amount of diving gear. We have a Nitrox system, we have a hyperbaric barometric chamber for emergencies, which I hope we never have to use, and enough equipment to put a dozen people of any size or skill level in the water at the same time.”

He still dives frequently and it’s a passion he now shares with his children. “I think that Seawolf has really made them divers more than sailors, but that’s OK. They like the water. That’s the most important thing,” he says.

Potter and the crew have a real bond with the boat and enjoy its history. The big six-cylinder Smit-MAN engines painted green chug steadily, watched over by an attentive engineer and are a sight to behold. The steady sound they make as the boat moves from anchorage to anchorage at night is as soothing as a lullaby.

The past is alive in the beautifully updated interior. A historically accurate model of Clyde is on board to remind all who sail in her of the ship’s past. It was a gift to Potter from his partner, Diane Cramphin, a designer who worked in secret with Seawolf ’s first officer to find it. She surprised him with it, and he loves to look at all its accurate details.

In August 2013, Potter helped organise an encounter in the Netherlands with the tug’s sistership Elbe . Like Seawolf , she’s had many lives, serving for a time as a support ship for Greenpeace, and now she’s a floating museum. The encounter took place in the boats’ original port of Maassluis, near Rotterdam, and the event attracted a crowd of enthusiasts and former Smit employees and their families. “We were surrounded by thousands of local people, many of whom went back a couple of generations, who were building and operating these tugs in the 1950s,” Potter says. In the crowd, tears in his eyes, was the son of the boat’s original designer, JCA Hoogenbosch.

This is very meaningful to Potter, who makes sure the boat is in tip-top shape. “Eventually this boat will have a new life with another family,” he says.

Having the boat has “given me a fantastic lifestyle being around family and friends. They say I am an active owner. I’ve done typically 80 days a year. I will probably do more than 100 days this year, but I’d live on it if I could.”

He doesn’t because he still has obligations shoreside and this allows Seawolf occasionally to be available for charter . The knowledgeable crew includes a marine biologist. Recently, Seawolf has cruised the Pacific from French Polynesia , to Fiji , Bali and the Philippines.

In spite of his attachment to Seawolf , with his children growing up and becoming independent, he thought he might have fewer opportunities to spend time with them, so a few months ago he put the boat on the market. However, shortly after we discussed his plans to get back into sailing, he took another trip aboard Seawolf to the Solomon Islands . During the voyage, he decided to withdraw it from sale. He told his broker he was simply having too much fun. “ Seawolf allows us to do so many different activities and keep hyperactive on every trip on board,” he says.“I love this boat."

Seawolf by name, Seawolf by nature

Tech maverick, mike potter, has listed his inimitable 58.8m explorer yacht for sale with fraser….

Only a minority of yacht owners can honestly hold their hands up and say that they have journeyed as far as the eye can see on their boat. But then again, how many owners have a boat capable of towing two aircraft carriers – in tandem – from Boston to Japan during its former life as an ocean salvage tug?

You can’t really question M/Y Seawolf’s seaworthiness after hearing of such a feat – and you would bet your bottom dollar that this is beyond the capability of nearly every superyacht dubbed an ‘explorer’ on the marketplace.

But, now comes a rare opportunity for the increasingly explorer-centric demographic of buyers to purchase Seawolf , with the owner having recently listed her for sale with Jody O’Brien of Fraser and John DeCaro of All Ocean Yachts for a very realistic $13,959,000. The 58.8m vessel, originally built at Scheepswerf Smit in the Netherlands in 1957, was converted into a luxury superyacht at Astilleros de Palma in Mallorca from 1998 to 2004.

“It shifted the emphasis from going from A to B, to being at A and being at B.”

The current owner, Mike Potter, who is founder and former CEO of the publicly-traded Cognos – the largest software company in Canada that was sold to IBM in 2007 for $4.9 billion – came across Seawolf ten years ago when O’Brien made the introduction. Potter had owned a 96ft. custom-built Vitters sailing yacht, but was in pursuit of something altogether more ambitious to deliver the ultimate travelling experience for his three kids.

“When my broker, Jody, showed me Seawolf , I just fell in love – it was a ‘puppy-dog sale’, I just had to have it,” Potter explains, in an exclusive conversation with SuperyachtNews. “I wanted a boat with a brilliant array of activities – above the water, in the water and under the water, so this boat was perfect.” 

Before long, Potter’s yachting lifestyle had completely altered its course. “I had a crewed yacht before, but it was always very hands-on for me when we were sailing.” His astute observation of the transition to large motoryacht ownership was that “it shifted the emphasis from going from A to B, to being at A and being at B”.

Potter and his family have spent between 80 and 100 days on board each year for the last decade, and have quite literally seen the world on board. Central America, Indonesia, New Zealand, Australia, the Black Sea, the Baltic Sea, St Petersburg, Indonesia, the Tuamotus islands and the Mamanuca islands are among the extraordinary array of destinations they have visited, as well as the more traditional cruising destinations of the Mediterranean and the Caribbean.

"I want to be as proud when I walk down to the engine room to speak to the engineers, as I am when I have a gin and tonic with friends on the deck."

And despite this inspiring logbook, O’Brien tells me that over the course of Potter’s ownership, he has actually improved the condition of the yacht. Potter later tells me that he actually owns and runs a vintage aircraft restoration shop for a hobby. With a fleet of mostly Warbirds, but also a Spitfire, a Hurricane, a Corsair, a Mustang and other planes to his name, he has considerable know-how when it comes to the preservation of some of the finer forms of transport.  

“For me, yacht maintenance is not run by a cost-accountant – it’s run by me saying, ‘I want to be proud of this boat’. And I want to be as proud when I walk down to the engine room to speak to the engineers, as I am when I have a gin and tonic with friends on the deck,” Potter adds.

“I’ve bought a number of airplanes over the years and the mistakes I’ve made were always because I never quite understood how to care for it properly. The same applies to boats,” he concludes. Potter’s advice to owners and buyers? Do your research. If you’re buying a yacht, find out who the owner was, why they owned it, what they did with the boat and how they took care of it.

This year, The Superyacht Intelligence Agency will be producing the market's first brokerage annual report. If you would like to know what will be in the report, and how you can get involved, please contact: [email protected]

The full interview with Mike Potter about his experience owning Seawolf will be published in The Superyacht Report, issue 185. To subscribe, please see the information below.

SEAWOLF - tHE REBORN TUGBOAT WORTH $9,900,000

THE FAMOUS, AND MOST LUXURIOUS TUGBOAT ON THE WATER 

This 193-foot (59m) expedition yacht is 63 years old!  Built in 1957 she has a spectacular history to go with her timeless charm.   Built in the Netherlands by J & K Smits Scheepswerven, she had a hardworking global career ahead of her and was named Clyde. 

Known for her endurance and strength she became the most hardworking, world-famous ocean-going tug the world had seen. One of her most well-known nautical feats was from Boston to Japan in 1968, where she simultaneously towed 2 United States Navy aircraft carriers. She also pulled tankers through typhoons. 

Seawolf has lived many lives. From 1998 to 2004, she was converted into a superyacht in Mallorca by the luxury yacht designer Astilleros de Palma. Seawolf has also been known as Dolce Far Niente, and had further upgrades and refits in 2008, 2010, 2013 and 2016. The latest refit included a main engine rebuild, plus a complete repaint. 

With an ice strengthened steelhull, a superior stabilization system and steel structure, the handywork of DBR Huisman, Seawolf is a versatile explorer that is ready to cruise the world again. However, this time she sails away with an unsurpassed luxury and elegance, creating the most comfortable and sophisticated experience for those on board.  

With a master suite and a VIP stateroom, plus 2x double cabins, 2x twin cabins and 1x pullman bed, she accommodates up to 13 guests. Seawolf has 14 crew members, one of which is a certified diving instructor also a marine biologist.  

Her impressive amenities include an expansive jacuzzi deck, outdoor bar, gym, study, on-board WiFi, air-con, plus sumptuous and stylish furnishings. She also holds an 8.5m Herreshoff sailing yacht tender along with several other toys. 

Seawolf has a 782-gross tonnage, a max speed of 15 knots and a cruising speed of 12 knots, where she can achieve a range of approx 12,000 nautical miles, courtesy of her 220,000 ltr fuel tanks and twin 1,500hp six-cylinder engines.  

We captured a glimpse of the magnificent adventure superyacht moored at Sentosa Cove, Singapore, in April of 2019. Due to her being the largest yacht in the marina that weekend, she was positioned across two pontoons as there simply wasn’t a large enough berth for her superstructure. 

The owner of Seawolf is 74-year-old sailing, diving and vintage plane enthusiast, Mike Potter from Canada. Potter is an honorary colonel of the Royal Canadian Navy after serving in the Air Force. At the age of 51 he made his fortune in the tech world after stepping aside of his thriving business which he had bought at the age of 28. Potter spends around 80 days a year on Seawolf with his family where they enjoy diving all over the world. 

When Potter isn’t on board, Seawolf can be available for charter. Previous rates were from $195,000 per week (+expenses).  Last year he did put Seawolf up for sale, with an asking price of $9,900,000, but later removed it from the market after having too much fun on board during a voyage to the Soloman Islands.

Luxury yacht Ferretti 530 was very keen to undertake in collaboration once again with AYT – Advanced Yacht Technology, Ferretti Group Engineering Division and Studio Zuccon International Project . The compact dimensions, 16 meters long and almost 5 meters wide, allow the 530 yacht to deliver grand Italian luxury and cruising immersed in such comfort until now unheard of in a yacht of this size.

Ferretti 530 yacht boasts three revolutionary innovations: the full beam master cabin with chaise longue and two large open view windows that make it a real suite at sea level bathed in light, tones and the natural essences of teak. Moving the galley from the center to the aft section creates a unique open space that includes the saloon, galley, cocktail bar and the dining area, the cockpit area continues thanks to the tilting window. The roll bar free sky lounge and the spoiler allow the 530 a sporty appearance combined with elegantly formal lines.

Ferretti 530 Yacht - Interior

Riva , the iconic Ferretti Group brand, presented a new model at the historical Lake d’Iseo shipyards in July 2011. Featuring elegance and ease of transportation as its distinctive characteristics, Iseo superyacht tender , a 27 foot runabout, is destined to become a must-have for those who love cruising on both lakes and the sea, and, most importantly, design enthusiasts. It is also perfect for anyone wishing to enhance their yacht with an exclusive tender that will never go unnoticed.

Riva Iseo superyacht tender

Due to its ease of manoeuvrability and size, Iseo yacht tender is also ideal as a tender for large yachts. Innovative and elegant, it can also guarantee comfort in bad weather conditions. Besides the electrohydraulic bimini top, it was also designed with a waterproof, automobile-style soft top which protects those on board against water and the wind during cruising.
