This is amazing, it’s like the ultimate Bond villain yacht 🛥

Now Ragnar's interior is done the way I like. Natural woods and leather accents. This reminds me of some of the old ski lodges in the Pacific Northwest that I've seen. Man cave maybe, more like a bygone era Gentleman's hunting lodge. Nothing buffed and polished to a mirror finish like on so many other yachts (No Gold and Silver gilding).

Easily the coolest yacht ever made. If the owner ever reads this, invite me please

WOW...Breathtakingly different. All credit to the designers, shipyard and owner for their fabulous work, vision and foresight.

An amazing floating man cave! I love how the designers kept the "working horse" character intact and combined that with a style what is very luxurious but not glamourous. this ship is actually a ship someone could live on ( i would) and go everywhere. definitely my #1 on my top 10 superyachts

Best yacht ever toured on KZfaq to date. Period. I was in love already but then lost it again in the last three minutes with the gym, spa, and sea toys. I agree with another poster - so many yachts are just deck after deck of sofas, wet bars, tanning beds, loungers, tables, chairs, and then more sofas. Then more lounge space, chairs, and sofas. Completely useless. This one is a gem. The rest of the yachts can float off into the sunset/scrapyard now.

If I had the income to afford any type of yacht, I would 100% buy an explorer yacht. Their value proposition for luxury and genuine sea-worthy exploration is unparalleled

Just speechless, no words can capture what Icon has done. Truly unique!

That one is in a class of it's own. Amazing layout. Holy crap that's a nice ship.

Immediately one of the most iconic yachts ever made.... GORGEOUS!!!!!

Wow! "Truly a tribute to its designers and its workers!" Amazing icon.

Whoever designed this, has a sense for style. This looks great

What an epic video. Really nicely done David. Would love the opportunity to visit her 1 day.

dawn I love this yacht is so different, so out of box, so row, so beautiful, so strong, so elegant, so unic, so much more then others is a icon

I would say... MASTER PIECE. Never seen a yatch more exquisitely furnished and oriented than this... pure extravagance with the most delighfull taste! Weel done for the owner!

So great to see it finished! - I really have enjoyed watching the updates. Thank you!

Well designed for sure. I would literally use this vessel as my primary residence.

Fantastic video David! You manage to explain the ship and its unique features so well in such a short time. Even if I find the interior a bit too conservative, Ragnar remains one of the most fascinating yachts in the world.

Absolutely love the finished ship!The detail and functionality is unreal.One of my favorite yachts of all time.

I always struck by the professionalism of this gentleman's presentations ,knowledgeable ,understated, none of nonsense so often associated with such videos, pleasure to watch and yes the yacht is a masterpiece.

agnar is an ICON and you are an icon too Dave!! What a vessel......She's amazingly remarcable!!

I've always had a passion for working vessels, especially supply vessels and AHTS vessels. I've had the pleasure of being employed by a team designing such vessels in addition to icebreakers but I've never seen yachts as much more than floating hotels for the ultra rich. This yacht is positively magnificent. The beautiful polar rated hull shape, the cool, clean, dark exterior, and the brass and mahogany interior that harkens back to the golden age of exploration. It's perfect, now I just need enough cash to buy one.

I've been waiting for this video since may 15th last year! FINALLY! She (or he?) looks absolutely amazing. I can't believe how much stuff they managed to put into that ship. I've seen a lot of awesome yachts on this channel, but this tops them all!

Hands down the best conversion I ever saw. Best interior design by far and all these over a supply vessel. Kudos Icon!

Simply stunning. All involved in her design, fabrication and style deserve the pride they no doubt feel.

The best interior design and the most luxurious yacht I have ever seen. The man cave, spa, and toys make it to the top of my wish list.

What an amazing yacht! This really is a pinnacle of practical luxury. We need more, thinking outside the box, yachts like this. As always, fantastic video!

I really enjoyed seeing the series of videos following the construction of this yacht--an unusual looking but very cool yacht that's really become one of my favorites. Thank you!

Hi David. Ragnar is absolutely fantastic. The conversion from commercial vessel to a rugged, arctic, bold gentlemans club with light refreshing stylish staterooms. Enough toys and tenders to rival any explorer yacht on the planet. Ive folowed the Ragnar series, Icon have created a masterpiece. Awesome video David, thanks.

This is by far the most exciting yacht that you have featured on this channel. The owner deserves to be congratulated for his vision in creating such a distinctive looking yacht.

What a transformation! Enjoyed the build from beginning to the end. Well done to both you and icon.

Need more! This 10 minute video is such a tease, this is my kinda M/Y. I'm all about exploration, and too think this bad boy can travel to both poles is just amazing!

What a work of art and function! It's been a dream of mine to explore the Arctic. This is the perfect vessel to do it in style. Such a privilege to be invited aboard and permitted to host a 'tour', lucky bloke! Thanx for sharing, Dave.

This is absolutely amazing! My new dream yacht! The adventures this boat will see...👾

Awesome and looks eminently useable. Well done to all involved in her design and build. Long may she sail the seas

That's the most beautiful yacht you have ever done. Thanks David.

Love this! I often see those Offshore Service Vessels and think: That would make a brilliant exploring vessel. Nice to see I wasn't the only one! Brilliant execution on this.

It was a pleasure making the name sign... good luck with all the exploring!

Wow! What a ship! Thank you for this video. This is one of the ships I’ve wanted to see the finished product ever since I heard it was being built. It definitely did not disappoint. The interior spaces were amazing. The interior design was amazing with the use of finishes onboard. Kudos to Icon and the owner for the build. It is sure to rack up some awards. David, any chance you can get on board and do a video of the other explorer class ship, OceanXplorer In my first posting, I failed to commend the craftsman who worked on this ship- without their work this ship would not be so amazing.

Congratulations Dave: excellent videos that show us how Ragnar come to life as a kind of his own yatch

That was you fastest 10 minute video to date. What an absolute treasure that ship is.

Wow really impressive explorer yacht

I remember when you first talked about this Yacht. I always thought it was going to stay a concept. It’s amazing!

Ragnar is the future of yachting by experiencing the recycling of a old hull. There are always new yachts on the market but what about the old ones? Well, Icon has the solution!

Great video! A gorgeous ship for someone wanting to explore the world rather than exploring women. Respect 👍

Insane! Very well meeting modern exterior to classic interior. The toys are also insane, Big Bo, is what a 200k + amphibian off-road vehicle crazy 👏

Style and substance in one magnificent package. It's beautiful and clearly proves that with enough imagination, determination, cooperation, craftsmanship and money you really can turn a sow's ear into a silk purse. Bravo!

I could self isolate on this :)

It was in Malta a few weeks ago. Right down the road from where I live. Cool!

Fantastic, I think this is just about perfect... the yacht I see when I sleep. Amazing video as per usual, thank you very much. Take care and stay safe. 👍👍👍🛥🛳🏴‍☠️🚤⛴☠🚢⛵⚓😎

It's always a pleasure watching your videos David. Thank a ton..

I would have liked to see the engine room.

5:50 i wish i had that deck hands energy

I have been waiting and lamenting this video since your first Ragnar video. Waiting, because I love the concept of an ice class explorer yacht, lamenting because now that Ragnar is being delivered this may be that last we see of him. Thank you.

Wow! What a beautiful yacht, now there is something you could easily live aboard and travel the world with. Truly wonderful. Thanks for sharing. :)

such a badass name...perfectly fits the vessel

Exquisitely beautiful exploration yacht... Perhaps we can see inside the Ulatein "Olivia-O" & Damen "SeaXplorer".

Awesome ship. Purposely built for a mission. One of the nicest big yachts I've enjoyed in awhile.

Such a beautiful and classy expedition yacht. Inside and out this yacht is amazing.

Who needs a house this would be perfect to live aboard forever

Extremely impressive - just like every super-yacht, but somehow very odd and weird.

That is far and away the most beautiful and well engineered vessel, explorer or otherwise, that I believe I have ever seen. Suits my sensibilities completely. If only…maybe in another life. 👍

Now this is a gorgeous yacht! This is exactly how a superyacht should look!

When the zombie apocalypse hits I'm stealing this! Oh yeah! What a beauty!

Only a fully fledged “Bond Villian” could ever own this......Ive been expecting you Mr Bond.... 🙄

Spectacular like Ragnar himself , Ragnar will make an impact. I hope to see it one day. Well done to the owner. What a vision.

Would have loved to see the crew spaces and kitchen too! But that cigar/sky lounge, WOW!

Another one bites the dust... Sanctioned

Row, row, row your boat...

Pretty cool yacht. When I first saw it I thought of a Support Yacht, but after seeing the walk around it is a beauty to behold. Thanks for the video. Great work.

Greatly anticipating this video and boom delivered. Exactly what I want.

Is this the one currently stuck in Narvik?

This looks like what I would imagine yachts will look like 30 years from now. Now they just need to make it fly 😂

I have been waiting with anticipation for your review of "Ragnar" since you first viewed it at Icon's shipyard, along with several build updates, To turn a once working ship into something so stunning is remarkable to say the least, Well done to all involved at Icon and RWD for producing such a luxury yacht to cruise the world in. And thank you David for sharing your excellent review of such a world beating Yacht…delivered as always impeccably….. Super yachts around the world have just had a wakeup call..

Eighteen months already. It goes so fast. If Ragnar is not the most beautiful boat, it is among the most beautiful. The line, the designe, everything is perfect. David and his team are also responsible for this wonderful video for a beautiful boat. I didn't expect to see a yacht of this quality when I saw the video 18 months ago.

This will be the Benchmark for years.

Question for you David. How on earth does your videographer decide what parts of the boat to shoot? There must have been so many choices on this one. Kudos to him for the way this is made. These videos truly are the gold standard of yacht videos on KZfaq. They inspire my own editing and videography techniques on a daily basis. Cheers!

I never thought much of super yachts, but this would definitely suit me. Thanks for the update.

one of the best videos ever made by uncle David...

'Big Bo' is just the name they painted on the ATV, it is a Sherp.

5:50 Broom getting a serious workout

This is by far and away the most amazingly beautiful, insanely kitted out and sumptuously luxurious explorer I have ever seen! This is the absolute pinnacle of yatching for me! Who ever the owner is really knows how to do it right! Hats off to Ragnar, I doubt anything will be able to top this in my books! Man what an absolute beauty! I can only imagine what it must feel like to be the owner of the gem on hand over day, just walking arounf your new floating palace with a well earned smug smile, patting your self on the back and just saying "Well (name) ........we did it, well done indeed, now let go have some fun" What a feeling. Wow, some people really do have incredible lives. And clearly, sometimes, money does buy class!

Love the use of two tone dark woods and antique brass fittings for the millwork. I especially love some of the furniture covered in dark leathers and antique brass. Very pastoral, intellectually stimulating interiors

Its nice to see a yacht interior that reflects the man who bought it, and not their wife.

Exactly why would you want to be anywhere else but on this Yacht,and when life is over I can be buried at sea ?.

Ragnar is more than just an icon. She is definitely one of the classic greats! What a time to be alive to witness this.!

May be my favorite ship ever. It's simply amazing!

I've heard the owner of this outstanding yacht is Ragnar Danneskjöld

Well this didn't go all too well 🤣

What an amazing vessel ... and very well done video about said vessel.

MARVELOUS !!! This is an awesome video and an awesome yacht

To the owner: please let Aquaholic do a tour!

That mans club looks like the perfect place to get the lads together after dinner, break out the scotch and cigars and hatch a nefarious plot for world domination.

Great yacht & a very clever ending to the video 😀👍🏼.

Owner: I love nature - the calmness, the solidarity, fresh air.... Also Owner: but I need to bring everything I can put gasoline into with me. 🙈

Calling Ragnar a “she” just doesn’t feel right. It’s an old classic male name in Sweden, Norway and Iceland.

This explorer yacht looks like it can be over 100 m longer! Design play a big part in how we perceive this beauty! Great video 👌🏿

Wow, looks like a suply boat that sails in the north sea! This is truly amazing!!

owned by oligarch...

Aquaholic should have a look at this and then we’d be sparred the continuous clichés.
