As the most specialist vessels on the planet, explorer or expedition yachts are incredibly complex and highly capable.
If you are considering a new explorer yacht, the build project will require careful consideration and a team of experts to ensure the yacht, its specification and the many auxiliary items required are successfully delivered.
These yachts are intended for trans-ocean, Pole-to-Pole passagemaking with superb build quality, massive specifications, and a very low environmental footprint. This might include a hybrid propulsion system to reduce emissions and improve range and efficiency.
Away from the necessities of build and equipment, an explorer can take many stylistic forms, from classic freighters to modern superyacht-infused vessels. But they must all deliver excellent deck access and practicality for tender and auxiliary craft launch and recovery as well as crew operation in all weather conditions.
Similarly, the engineering must be of the highest calibre with multiple back-ups to key systems, including items such as generators and watermakers, as well as more general spares.
Spending long periods at sea will require large tank capacities, stabilisation and the correct cabin numbers for guests and crew.
Depending on how you wish to use your explorer yacht, and in what regions of the world you will be cruising, the actual specification will differ from yacht to yacht, and this will require careful and particular attention. This should include auxiliary and support craft, with highly capable tenders a must.
