Lead the pack
There is no doubt that our Xplorer design paves the way for the explorer yacht sector. In a busy marina, this is the yacht that will stand out. She's big, but that's what it takes to make a truly capable explorer -- one that can fit right into the go-to yachting hotspots, as well as the quiet bays by your favourite tropical island.
PREPARE FOR A LIFE CHANGING JOURNEY
Your adventure starts now
An Xplorer expedition is the ultimate escape from the pressures of daily life. To make the journey easy, the Xplorer’s avant-garde naval architecture ensures comfort and performance when navigating any ocean on Earth.
The full-displacement hull shape has sustained seakeeping ability in challenging conditions and is thoroughly tested by our experts. You can also operate your aircraft from your completely self-sufficient floating airfield. Your helicopter can be protected in the hangar from the elements between operations, refueled and maintained for your next flight.
Which records will you break with this new era of exploration technology?

FIND WHAT WORKS FOR YOU
Your personal configuration
Tell us what you’d like to have on board, and Enrique Tintore, our Xplorer Design Manager pictured above, and the team will come back to you with a specially tailored design. The way the Xplorer has been made allows for a high level of flexibility to suit any extreme environment or refined landscape. If a helicopter isn’t an essential for you, we’ve got many other options for that space. Need a conference room or a seventh guest cabin? Or a separate gym and a high-spec laboratory? We can make that happen.
SELECT YOUR STORAGE SOLUTION
Adapt to adventure
As one of the largest spaces on board, the helideck design isn’t as simple as it seems. Made to be multipurpose, this space can be used as a sports court for the likes of Pickleball, or an extension of the aft lounge and pool area. The flush floor hatch opens up to a secret storage space which is more than ideal for a helicopter or additional tender. The options for this below-deck space can be completely tailored to you and your needs.

The sheer bow and accentuated bow-point observation lounge are what immediately catches your eye with this alternative design by Harrison Eidsgaard. The UK-based acclaimed studio has designed some of the world’s most famous superyachts, and this rendition could be in the running for a similar accolade. With long lines and a heightened helipad, the slicker profile of this Xplorer still manages to look robust and ready for the seven seas.

Our long-term design partner Espen Øino needs no introduction. Having created this Xplorer masterpiece from his head office in Monaco’s Port Hercules, Espen has applied his famed exterior design and naval architecture expertise to bring a new shape to the Xplorer 80. The smooth edges and inverted aft bring a lighter feel to the exterior – so light she could glide across the water’s surface.

In addition to the main exterior, our design partner has fashioned a more angular design. Do you notice how the shape of the aft areas has been accentuated on each of the upper decks to give a more futuristic design? With the pool given a seemingly higher position, you can swim up close to the helicopter or your guests relaxing in the lounge nearby. Overall, the layered superstructure and the many dark accents push this Xplorer 80 into the future with a sleek, well-balanced character.
