With the help of crowdfunding site Crowdcube, Archipelago Expedition Yachts has exceeded its funding goals. In just 20 days, from the start to the end on 22 March, 174 discerning investors raised a whopping £236,996, achieving 157% of the fundraising target, far exceeding the original £150,000 fundraising plan.
This valuable funding will be a booster for Archipelago to make a big splash in the European and US markets. Not only that, but the company also announced the exciting news that Pacific Northwest-based Oaksmith Yachts has officially become its first dealer in the U.S. market, laying a solid foundation for Archipelago's expansion in the U.S.

It is worth mentioning that during the financing process, Archipelago actively conveyed to investors its strong belief in sustainable development. They set out to achieve carbon neutrality by 2040, a commitment that is reflected not only in the use of all their hybrid yachts, but also in the innovative methanol-powered Archipelago zero.63 project. This forward-looking environmental strategy undoubtedly paints a blueprint for a clean and green future for the maritime industry.
Stephen Weatherley, founder of Archipelago, couldn't hide his excitement and said: "I am incredibly gratefully grateful to have felt the enthusiastic support and interest we have received from far and wide during this funding round. Thank you to all the investors who have trusted us and supported us. It is with your support that we can move forward with confidence and deliver on our commitment to create a cleaner and better tomorrow for the maritime industry with our sustainable vessels. ”

Made from "low-impact" aluminum, each boat in the Archipelago collection was designed from the outset to be a hybrid catamaran capable of sailing at sea, which the company describes as "a sea fortress designed to challenge the boundaries of capability while offering a luxurious living experience". With the availability of funds and the continuous expansion of the market, Archipelago is bound to usher in an even more brilliant future.
