From discounted private island hire to invitations to unique events, Pelorus is offering ‘experiential benefits’ to holders of limited-edition superyacht NFTs. Rose Dykins reports
Private expedition company Pelorus has announced it will offer a series of exclusive travel experiences for holders of Superyacht NFTs – which have been created by yacht builder Oceanco and superyacht designer Timur Bozca.
Pelorus says it wants to continue positioning itself as a pioneering travel company that pushes boundaries, which has led to it exploring the NFT (non-fungible tokens) arena, and their potential in the superyacht industry. As a result, Pelorus has committed to launching a collection of “experiential benefits” available exclusively to Oceanco’s verified NFT holders.
The first superyacht builder to tap into the NFT commerce world, Oceanco designed its virtual tokens in collaboration by Timur Bozca of Bozca Limitless Design – whom it has previously partnered with to design its Esquel concept yacht.

Superyacht NFTs says on its website: ” Come aboard through these unique digital vessels anchored on the Casper blockchain.
“Our roadmap activations enhance your ownership with a load of money-can’t-buy benefits, experienced both virtually and in real life. Do you like invitations to exclusive parties on superyachts and limited airdrops of insanely cool supertoys to make your NFT even rarer? We like pushing boundaries and aren’t afraid to do things differently and have fun.”
The new NFT “utilities” from Pelorus include discounted rates on its yacht charter, private island hire or accommodation bookings; free planning meetings with Pelorus co-founders Geordie Mackay-Lewis and Jimmy Carroll; multi-year long-term planning; access to a number of scientific research…
