Our yard has gone to great lengths to ensure the best possible sailing and seakeeping qualities for this design, including a distinctive round-bilged hull. Our Explorer yachts are designed and built to withstand the toughest environments, and boast an extensive fuel capacity that enables them to easily make long ocean passages.

INTERIOR PLEASURES
Heading into the interior, everything about this new Explorer revolves around ensuring that the owners and their guests will be able to enjoy the constantly changing views outside in the ideal ambience. The main deck has a luxurious master suite forward with a roomy ensuite bathroom and his & her closets. The area amidships is occupied by a raised pilothouse with three pilot seats, making this a great place for people to join the captain as the yacht progresses around the world.
THE PULSING HEART
Following on from the 25-metre Dutch Falcon and the 37-metre Santa Maria T, this third yacht in our Explorer range is a 28-metre yacht with a raised pilothouse. Built entirely in strong, lightweight aluminium and sporting a fast displacement hull, her twin MAN V12 1650 hp engines give a top speed of 21 knots. At the same time, a VEEM VG145 zero-speed gyroscopic stabiliser system and two 32 kW Northern Lights generators ensure onboard comfort at all times for owners and guests.
