Charter Guide

Explorer Yachts for Sale

Purpose-built for world-cruising and comfortably travelling long distances through rough seas, explorer yachts are an adventurer’s ideal vessel.

With huge fuel tanks, low fuel consumption, and ample volume for storage of tenders, toys, provisions, and adventure equipment, explorer yachts are designed to cruise to some of the world’s most remote locations in the lap of luxury. For those that wish to avoid tourist hotspots and discover the secluded beauty of the world’s most far-reaching destinations , they are simply the perfect expedition yacht.

WHAT ARE THE DEFINING FEATURES OF AN EXPLORER YACHT?

The exact features defining an explorer yacht for sale will differ depending on its intended use. Whilst some are designed to comfortably cruise anywhere on Earth, some explorer yachts are designed with a specific purpose in mind. From cruising through the icy waters of Antarctica to discovering the uninhabited islands of French Polynesia , there are some features that all explorer yachts for sale have in common.

1 Seaworthiness

From rough seas and high winds to ice fields and extreme heat, explorer yachts are designed to keep guests comfortable through the most severe weather conditions. Their robust hull (usually full displacement to cut through the water) puts explorer yachts in a better position to cruise through what can sometimes be considered treacherous waters, all whilst limiting the roll of the boat to ensure maximum comfort and safety for guests on board.

2 Designed For Distance

Explorer yachts are not your average superyacht. With superior navigation autonomy, and generous fuel tank capacity, long range expedition yachts can generally travel 5,000 nautical miles or more before needing to dock for fuel - that’s the equivalent of 9,260 km or the distance between Los Angeles and Tokyo!

These yachts are also made with durable, hard-wearing materials to limit the wear and tear you would expect from harsh weather conditions. As a result, explorer yachts can require regular maintenance and servicing to ensure they can withstand the longer voyages.

3 Ample Internal Space

Needing to carry enough equipment and supplies for extended periods of cruising, explorer yachts are built with generous internal storage space for guests and crew. This often includes spare parts and provisions for the journey, alongside basic maintenance, and travel supplies.

Living accommodation will also be finished to the highest superyacht standards. Designed with the occupant’s experience as the focus, expect expansive rooms and decks, incredible views, and all the amenities you’ll desire, from Jacuzzis and saunas to state-of-the-art gyms and cinemas.

Many expedition yachts will also have storage space for a personal submarine and/or helicopter, offering those on board the opportunity to explore the remote destinations they visit from every angle.

4 Sufficient Speed

Whilst the average cruising speed of an explorer yacht sits at around 10 knots, you also need to know that these yachts can move faster if needed to avoid a storm or make up time in a tight itinerary. Modern explorer yachts are now pushing the boundaries of what’s previously been possible in the realm of speed, allowing some to reach around 14 knots when needed thanks to fast displacement hull designs and higher horsepower.

5 Steel Hull

Strength, stability, and sturdiness are all critical features of a modern explorer yacht. With a steel hull, these yachts can withstand rough waters as well as the impact of additional debris that may be encountered whilst cruising. They are also easier to repair should they be damaged, as remote ports may not have access to industry-leading yacht service and repair facilities.

Top 4 Explorer yachts for sale

If it’s adventure, luxury, and exploration in the utmost comfort that you seek, then look no further. An expedition yacht offers all the decadence, relaxation and indulgence you expect from a superyacht, combined with high performance, stability, and stamina for once-in-a-lifetime adventures.

Ready to take the plunge? Here is a selection of some of the top explorer yachts for sale currently on the market at Ocean Independence:

Arksen 65 first look: Brand new British explorer yacht

• Top stories

The Arksen 65 is an impressive new explorer motor yacht from the British builder that offer 3,700nm range from its 9,200 litre. fuel tank

British yard Arksen has released more details of its new 65ft explorer yacht. Like its bigger sister, the tri-deck Arksen 85, the first of which was launched earlier this year, the smaller two-deck 65 is designed for low-impact, self-sufficient adventures. The aluminium low displacement hull from Humphreys Yacht Design is built for ultra-efficient long-range cruising in all climates.

At the heart of the yacht is an open-plan saloon with aft galley and lounge forward to make the most of the views through the panoramic wraparound glazing. Then there’s a choice of two or three cabins on the lower deck – a forward ensuite owners’ cabin, an ensuite twin or double aft of the central engineroom, and a smaller space between them that can be specified as a third ensuite double, an owners’ study, workshop, laundry or lower galley to free up space in the saloon.

A big plus of the all-aluminium construction is the ability to offer semi-customised interiors without the constraints of the fixed bulkheads that moulded GRP hulls require. It’s also a more sustainable material that contains up to 70% recycled metal and can easily be recycled again.

Conventional diesel and parallel diesel/ electric hybrid propulsion packages are available. The proposed engines are heavy duty John Deere diesels delivering a modest 160hp at 2,300rpm on straight shafts for maximum reliability, refinement and a top speed of 12 knots.

The range from its 9,200 litres of fuel is predicted to be around 3,700nm at 9 knots or as much as 5,000nm at 8 knots. The hybrid variant uses the same engines but will also have a zero-emissions mode for environmentally sensitive areas and silent running at anchor.

Recommended videos for you

The raised-helm position aft can be either partially or fully enclosed beneath its hardtop.

Twin freshwater tanks fore and aft can be used to trim the yacht under way with fin and/ or gyro stabilisers taking care of roll. Twin skegs also allow the yacht to dry out without damaging the sterngear. A tender of up to 3.4m (11ft) can be carried on or above the bathing platform and launched using an aft deck crane.

An Arksen 65 should take about 18 months to build. Prices start from £3.2 million, excluding taxes, with a typical spec nearer £4 million.
