Award Winning Explorer Style Yachts

Explorer yachts are purpose-built to facilitate long-range cruising and exploration, often featuring robust construction, extended fuel capacity, and advanced navigation systems to ensure endurance and safety during extended voyages.

Every year, panels of industry professionals acknowledge the ingenuity and craftsmanship displayed by exceptional vessels capable of venturing into the farthest corners of the world. While many superyachts are referred to as 'explorer yachts,' few, under scrutiny, genuinely meet the specific needs of a vessel designed to explore the oceans across all latitudes.

This award category carefully sifts through any misnomers to acknowledge only the remarkably capable true explorer yachts.
