Design & Construction
Designed around a displacement aluminium hull and superstructure she features a 9.11m beam and a 2.02m draft. The yacht is built over 4 decks with an internal volume of 498 GT (Gross Tonnes).
Construction started in late 2021. The yacht was designed and constructed in compliance with the Lloyds Register technical standards. Launched in January 2026 this yacht undertook sea trials over the following months.
Exterior Design
The exterior design by Humphreys Yacht Design prioritises visibility, efficiency, and usability over ornament. The hull presents a high-volume, light-displacement explorer form with a long, near-horizontal sheer line running cleanly from bow to stern. The sheer shows very little spring, reinforcing the yacht’s utilitarian, long-range intent rather than any planing-led aggression.
Forward, the bow features a moderately raked stem with a fine entry, avoiding both axe-bow geometry and an extreme plumb profile. This points to a balanced approach that favours seakeeping, reduced pitching, and practical deck use over outright wave-piercing. The forefoot appears well immersed, consistent with steady motion at displacement and fast-displacement speeds. Relatively low forward freeboard supports visibility from interior spaces without compromising deck dryness.
Amidships, the hull sides remain close to vertical, maximising internal volume before tapering subtly toward the stern. Freeboard is generous along the length, particularly forward, supporting interior headroom and operational comfort without resorting to exaggerated topsides. Hull openings are restrained and functional, with evenly spaced rectangular windows set low to serve lower-deck guest accommodation while maintaining structural continuity and avoiding decorative cut-outs.
Above the hull, the superstructure steps back in clearly defined tiers, producing a wedding-cake profile typical of serious explorers rather than coastal motor yachts. The arrangement follows a single-level deck logic that supports clear circulation and uninterrupted sightlines. Strong horizontal emphasis is reinforced by continuous dark glazing bands, which visually reduce height and improve internal visibility.
Glazing is extensive but controlled. Large, flush-set window panels wrap around the main, upper, and bridge decks, give near 360° visibility while reducing visual clutter and aiding airflow and maintenance in remote or harsh conditions. This glazing strategy directly supports the brief for improved situational awareness from both interior and exterior spaces.
The main deck aft combines seating, sunbeds, and a bar with integrated BBQ. The upper deck wraps fully around the owner’s exterior terrace, allowing uninterrupted circulation and private outdoor use. At the top of the superstructure, the bridge deck provides commanding views with wing stations on both sides, external seating, and clear sightlines for manoeuvring and watchkeeping.
The mast structure is compact and functional, with radar and communication equipment integrated into a low-profile, pyramid-style mast. This avoids unnecessary height or top weight and supports centre-of-gravity control and overall stability.
Aft, the yacht terminates in a broad, working stern designed around expedition handling rather than leisure terraces. The transom form indicates internal volume dedicated to machinery, lazarette spaces, and heavy-duty launch systems. Aft deck stowage supports tenders, rescue craft, and water toys, all deployed via purpose-designed lifting systems rather than improvised solutions.
Interior Design
Interiors by m2atelier are conceived to support long-term living rather than short-term charter use. While detailed finishes remain undisclosed, the design intent favours a restrained, contemporary approach aligned with the yacht’s explorer role.
The main deck houses the galley with adjacent cold and dry stores, alongside the main saloon and dining area, creating efficient service flow while keeping guest spaces open and light.
Accommodation
Accommodation is arranged for 10 guests across five cabins, with the owner’s suite located on the upper deck and four guest cabins on the lower deck.
The owner’s apartment includes a private lounge, office, and direct access to an exterior terrace with Jacuzzi. Guest cabins are positioned away from machinery spaces, with clear separation from crew circulation.
Crew accommodation is provided for 10 crew, supported by dedicated access routes, a forward crew area, and efficient links to the engine room via the centreline tank-deck passage.
