JURA II

Hall Russell's 1963 design philosophy centered on creating vessels capable of sustained exploration in challenging northern waters, and JURA II exemplifies this heritage across Scotland's dramatic archipelagos and Norway's fjord systems. At 36.58 meters, her robust construction and thoughtful proportioning make her ideally suited for extended passages through the Hebrides' shifting weather patterns or multi-week expeditions along the Norwegian coast, where her seven-person crew orchestrates seamless transitions between remote anchorages and cultural discoveries in historic fishing villages. Loro Piana's interior treatments create an atmosphere of understated refinement that complements rather than competes with the raw beauty visible through her generous windows. Ten guests find themselves drawn to the main saloon's warmth after bracing deck walks among sea stacks and whale sightings, while Douglas Creighead's naval architecture ensures steady progress through the swells that define these waters. Each evening brings the satisfaction of having covered serious ground, whether threading through the Sound of Mull or approaching the otherworldly formations of the Lofoten Islands.
