First look: Viator Explorer 54 DS and 42 DS

The new Viator Explorer 54 DS and 42 DS are both aluminium-hulled, practical high latitude cruisers with hybrid propulsion
Instead of a pilot house, these rugged semi-custom lift keel aluminium yachts have a full deck saloon, along with a number of interesting features including hybrid propulsion. The prototype Viator Explorer 42 DS, designed by Berckemeyer Yacht Design, has been afloat for around 18 months, while the Viator Explorer 54 DS, designed by iYacht in Hamburg, is a new model scheduled to launch in July 2023.
Both offer a practical take on what it involves to create a yacht suitable for high latitudes, yet are also designed to be comfortable in the tropics. The low cockpit sole is intended to help provide a greater sense of security at sea and protection from the elements. A long extension of the aft end of the deck saloon roof creates excellent shelter in the forward part of the cockpit in inclement conditions. A downside, however, is that there’s no accommodation under the cockpit – only machinery space and stowage.
For go-anywhere cruising, there’s hull plating in way of the keel and bow areas of 12mm, with 6mm used for the rest of the hull below the waterline on the 54DS. Topsides are 5mm thick and the deck and coachroof 4mm. Yet, despite the go-anywhere nature of these designs, they are not intended to be slow vessels. Carbon spars with rod rigging are standard, while a 28° spreader angle allows a square-top mainsail to be carried without running backstays.
Both designs are set up for key sail handling to be carried out from the cockpit, via self tailing winches on a pedestal ahead of the helm stations. Built-in spools for the stern anchor rode and a 100m shoreline are fitted in the bench seats at the transom.
A fully watertight door seals the pilothouse from the cockpit when conditions dictate. On the smaller boat this area is only two steps down from the cockpit and has a big galley to starboard, plus saloon seating and table to port. A key feature is the big navigation and watch-keeping station at the forward end of the saloon, while sleeping accommodation is in two Pullman-style bunks in the passageway ahead of the galley, plus an owner’s cabin forward.
The 54 has the two cabins ahead of the main bulkhead, with a spacious en-suite double in the bow and a smaller Pullman-style cabin to port of the passageway leading forward. A large forepeak area is given over to more stowage and an optional workshop area. There is also another double cabin aft below the cockpit.
The hybrid concept means range under power can be as great as that for a diesel powered yacht, yet the battery bank can be a modest size. This arrangement also gives the advantages of the instant torque of electric motors when manoeuvring, and of generating power for both domestic systems and propulsion while sailing.
This boat is powered by twin 10kW Bellmarine motors, although later models will have 15kW units. A 10kW diesel generator provides power to keep motoring during extended calm weather.

Artwork afloat in an unlikely medium
Now for some contrast. For me, yacht design has always been an art and a science. You pick a target for the objective elements like boat speed and handling characteristics. Maybe you throw in some objective comfort requirements too. With those items objectified and defined you have some room left over to decide on how you are going to wrap that package aesthetically. Do you want a traditional look like Chuck’s daysailer? Do you want an eclectic look like Steve’s motorsailer? Or do you want to push the boat towards the very modern, “I bet you haven’t seen this before” look?
The designer of the LA28, Martin Menzner, of Berckemeyer Yacht Design decided on a look that would challenge your appreciation of yacht aesthetics. It’s a new look that moves forward from a lot of modern, high-performance sport boats and takes it to a new level of art. He carefully avoided the “in your face” approach and instead gave us a boat that while almost “normal” looking is visually stunning. It looks new and it looks right. It also takes full advantage of all wood construction techniques.
The first thing that strikes me as I look at the hull is the heavily radiused deck edge. I’m not even sure I’d call it the sheer line. The radius appears to increase as you go aft. If you use the inboard intersection of the radius with the deck camber as the sheer you get a reverse sheerline. The bow has reverse rake to it as is pretty common today. There is just a bit of overhang aft. The D/L is 74 and the L/B is 3.4. Draft with the carbon lifting keel down is 5 feet 9 inches. The beam is moderately distributed and not exaggerated aft. There is no chine but in this case I think that is a function of the cold-molded build style they have chosen, eliminating hard joints in the structure. While there is no hard chine to the hull the turn of the bilge forward is very tight resulting in an almost chine-like shape forward. The sections aft are very arc-like.
You can choose from two cockpit configurations. You can go with long bench seats forward in the cockpit or just a big, open cockpit with the only seating being on the side deck. To my eye the bench seat cockpit looks to be the more practical. The cabintrunk is beautifully contoured and simple in shape. There is volume below for settee berths and a mini-galley, but I don’t think anyone would consider this a serious cruising boat. That was never the intention. But you never know. You might get a wild hair.
The LA28 is being built in Germany by LA Yacht and is the build product of some out-of-work wooden boatbuilders who decided to combine talents and form a yard. Four LA28s have been delivered to date and now the yard is looking to expand and get started on a 35-foot model. I wish them the very best of luck.
LOA 27’11”; LWL 26’3”; Beam 8’3”; Draft 5’9”; Displ. 3,306 lbs.; Ballast 1,200 lbs.; Sail area 398 sq. ft.; SA/D 28.69; D/L 74; L/B 3.4; Auxiliary 2.4kw electric (optional); Water 13 gal.

Pure 42 DS : New aluminium deck saloon yacht
Fridtjof Gunkel
· 16.02.2024
The boat is visually in line with the successful Berckemeyer designs such as the deck saloon yacht BM 53. The modern lines with deep chines, negative stem and fixed bowsprit are characterised by a large, quite veritable, but visually harmonious deckhouse. Further features of the deck saloon yacht are the twin rudders, the protected propeller and above all the lifting keel, which enables a variable draught from 1.20 metres suitable for shallow water to a high-performance 3.00 metres. The lifting keel with T-bomb is infinitely adjustable and makes it easier to fall dry. A retractable bow thruster is standard and an additional thruster in the stern is optional. The cutter rig with staysail and genoa is available in aluminium or made of carbon with a rod rig. Protected behind the deckhouse, the cockpit offers a fixed dodger and walkaround geometry, which also improves the ergonomics at the winches. The drums on the wheel, where the halyards and outhauls converge in the centre alongside the sheets, can be operated easily and effectively as the user stands directly in front of them.
Deck saloon yacht with panoramic view and crew contact
The inner and outer areas are visually connected: The seated person in the cockpit is on a visual axis with a standing and also a seated person in the saloon. The helmsman is slightly elevated in order to have a clear view of the deckhouse. The deck saloon with integrated galley provides an almost unrestricted all-round view. There are two cabins and a wet room in the hull. The bow of the deck saloon yacht has a sailing load. To starboard next to the keel box is another living area that can be freely arranged. Additional berths, a sofa or a boat office are conceivable here. The hull of the Pure 42 DS is being built at Jachtbouw Folmer in Holland and will be extended and completed by the newly founded Pure Yachts on the Kiel Fjord. Further Berckemeyer designs are to be built there in the future.

Interior Fitting: Berckemeyer BM49 Pilot House
- May 2nd, 2020
- Sailing Yacht
We are some lucky people in Germany as our lockdown is not as strict as the ones imposed by our neighbouring states like France or Spain. It is still allowed to meet other people – by keeping distance and be aware of other hygienic precautions. So as the first warmer days of this year´s spring appeared and temperatures climbed up, I grabbed the phone and called Matthias Schernikau who – in my world – is one of the luckiest guys I know. Why is that? Well, he owns a Berckemeyer sailing yacht, of course.
When I arrived on his company´s compound, parking my car, a big wide smile appeared on my face: There she was, showing through the windows. The unmistakable mat shine of an aluminium hull. So big that the huge window was filled. Matthias, owner of a company that manufactures special purpose elevators near Hamburg, opened the backdoor and greeted me: Standing there an overall, bearing witness of the loads of work connected to this boat. After all, Matthias works on this yacht for the third year now.
Stepping up the Workforce
“It is tougher than I thought”, he confesses and smiles: The hull of his Berckemeyer BM49 had been built by Yachtwerft Benjamins in the German North Sea-town of Emden in 2018. As Matthias is a skilled metalworker and his own company has all tools and machines at his disposal needed to complete the work, Matthias decided to having the raw hull transported to this place, finishing the boat under his supervision. “Well, I honestly underestimated the amount of work. So I hired a boat builder.” This is when Jörn put out his head of the pilot house and greeted me: “Hi!”, he said and smiled.
Jörn is a skilled boat builder and works almost full time and almost every day on the boat. His task is the internal fitting: A huge work. I know by myself what it means to take accurate measurements and what an elaborate task it is to even make a simple panel fit just fine: Jörn is the one who is in charge of implementing Matthias´ ideas. Standing in the wide cockpit of the yacht, I recollect how the boat looked like when I saw it the last time and what had changed since.
“We sanded the hull to a finished state for almost a complete year”, Mattias said. As one of my own first jobs after starting to work in the boating business was the polishing of a 46 feet-hull, I can imagine what sanding a complete hull would mean. The Berckemeyer looks awesome: Antifouling is applied, hull windows are mounted, traveler for the main sheet, all blocks and rails for the sheet leads are fitted – from the outside she looks pretty ready. “But come inside, it´s a huge difference from last time …”, Matthias invites.
A true Highlight: The Pilot House
Aluminium yachts are “serious” sailboats – people buying these yachts mostly want to sail “anywhere”, away from the well-worn paths of the Coconut-route or the annual ARC. Matthias is no different: The high latitudes, the far North, even icy is what he is dreaming of – and what he is building this boat for. “You will need a pilot house”, he says and I absolutely agree. Last time I saw the boat the hull was one huge empty room – now, with the energetic help and surplus workforce of Jörn, that has changed dramatically. And it has changed for the good.
The pilot house features two huge settees. They are not long enough to stretch out and have a nap, but judging from a short seating-trial they provide enough space to have a relaxed seat when it´s raining or stormy outside. You will have a 360 degree view from here. Great! “I will have all electronic equipment installed up here”, says Matthias. His Berckemeyer will be steered by a huge tiller and an evenly strong auto pilot. “There will be a control panel for the auto pilot here as well.” Matthias shows the positions of the screens and switches. The boat will be commandeered from the pilot house completely: “Downstairs is just living and relaxing – sailing is up here.” I understand that there is no dedicated navigation area nor a chart table in this boat: An accommodation to modern sailing.
As I stepped down the staircase to the saloon and looked back, I realized that the seatings up in the pilot house are actually the ceilings of the aft cabins below. “This boat will have the same layout as my previous one”, Matthias explains. Now that all bulkheads and most of the rough fittings are already in place, imagining this yacht being finished is far easier. I know his previous boat very well: I sailed an almost perfect one-week on his AMAROK, a 40-feet custom-built Judel/Vrolijk aluminium performance-cruiser . This yacht was a 2-cabin boat, drop keel with a longitudinal galley. Same for this: But much bigger of course.
Accurately rough: Interior Fittings
Matthias stands in the saloon. One single floodlight reasonably illuminates the scene: “It´s a pretty simple but straightforward layout. You´ll have the galley right here on the starboard side, the saloon with a large dining table and U-settee on the port side.” Matthias shows me around. “Port side we´ll have a cabin, vis-à-vis a workshop with spare parts and stuff.” There´s a huge bathroom right in the middle of the boat to port side and the forward owner´s cabin.
Touching the roughly assembled interior parts, I ask how exactly they build it: One thing is for sure, it´s not plywood nor real wood. “We use a foam called Airex. I can cut it here in my company with our high-precision plotter.” From both sides the foam is covered with a some layers of 600 grams/square metres GRP-mattresses and everything is baked in a huge oven so that the foam hardens. And it´s as solid as stone, I can tell!
„I chose this material in the first place because it´s much easier to work with, much lighter in the end on the boat and working with it does not produce dust nor dirt in any way.” As I visit them on the yacht, all raw fittings are already in place. The next step of work had begun in the pilot house: “Jörn now leveling and smoothing out the Airex-surface with filler to create an even surface. When this is hardened and sanded, we will give it a nice white paintjob. That´s all.”
For the rails and corners Matthias will fit custom made parts of massive Oak. “That will be the only wooden parts on this boat. I don´t want too much wooden parts here, but when it´s timber, I want it to look awesome and significant.” I can imagine how much lighter and friendlier the boat will be looking when it´s finished: White lacquered surfaces and wooden accessories. Nice.
A huge two Cabin Yacht
The Berckemeyer is huge. 49 feet is quite a punch. On boats of this lengths other brands fit four or five cabins. Berths for 10 or even 12 people are quite normal on boats this size. Not so on this yacht: Like myself, Matthias loves the quietness at sea which makes him minimize the crew of the boats he sails on: Two cabins is more than enough for his new boat. I visit the aft cabin.
The Airex-made lie down area of this cabin will suit more than enough two people, it´s great for just one. There is huge headroom and sufficient space for getting dressed in front of the berths. “Two 1.000 litre-tanks for ballast water on the walls”, Matthias explains – although his drop keel cruiser had more than enough lead-ballast, he will be able to step up a notch when sailing upwind. Nice. Passing the galley on my way forward to the starboard side and the keel-housing to port, I notice a large coffin-like structure made of Airex.
“It´s new. We came up with the idea of fitting this pilot berth just weeks ago”, he explains. Right in front of the entrance to the large bathroom (which by the way is cleverly positioned right over the keel, the pivot of the boat and thus the most stable and calm spot of the boat when sailing), another crew member could find some protection here and snug into this berth. “If not occupied, it´s the perfect spot for stowing your luggage.” Then I enter the forward cabin – owner´s area.
Again, pretty straightforward and simple: There´s the retractable bow thruster and loads of storwage – covered by the Airex-made lie down area of the forward berth. It will be a huge sleeping area for sure. To the left a small settee to sit down and getting dressed/undressed, vis-à-vis a locker for clothing. Two small hull windows won´t add too much of natural light in here: “It´s more a design feature and looks good from the outside”, Matthias smiles.
Rigged for the extreme
I do look at the isolation. Aluminium boats can go anywhere and I am sure that this particular yacht will do so. Anyone having sailed in late autumn or even in winter knows that temperatures can and will get pretty low. A heating system of some sort is not just a luxurious add-on but a must-have. The moisture of the air and wet clothing will quickly make living and working aboard very unpleasant.
5 to 10 centimetres of Amaflex-insulation from the floorboards all the way up to the ceiling will keep temperatures up inside and make for some sound-dampening as well. This black foam reminds me of the same material they use to insulate Garcia or Allures yachts in Cherbourg. “This boat will receive a powerful marine Diesel-heater”, Matthias tells me: “I think this will do. When I realized I need more, I can have a reflex oven or something like this installed, no problem.”
I love the style of this boat: The modern design by Martin Menzner with these sleek, flat and sexy lines of the boat itself paired with the pleasantly unagitated interior design, no frills without ruffle – plain and practical solutions. Like AMAROK this new boat will be a showcase of “true” sailing with a focus on simplicity, practicality and sailing qualities.
Plans for finishing
Matthias takes a deep breath and turns his eyes, looking to Jörn standing next to him – both smile when I ask how long the works will go on until the boat will be ready to hit water: “Well, probably not this year …”, says Matthias. Jörn nods: “Surely not this year.” Although the big machinery like engine and auxiliary has been installed already, there is still so much to do. Thinking back to my own experiences in yacht refit …
The BM49 has had a pretty important day last summer when she was pulled out to open air and her huge carbon-mast had been stepped. It was a dress rehearsal to fit the standing rigging and see if everything was right. For this occasion Matthias had already painted the pilot house in fiery red-orange – the only painted part of the boat. “I am thinking of adding a sort of Cork-tree flooring in the cockpit but that will be practically all.
Apart from that, the outside of the boat seems pretty finished already: The large tiller is still missing, as well as the two auto pilot control panels to either side of the coamings. But the beautiful and huge 62 Anderson winches have already been installed as well as the whole blocks and fittings needed to work the running rigging. I think there is a chance to see the boat in the water by end of next year. I ask Matthias. He looks to Jörn. Both smile: “I´m getting a beer – anyone in as well?”, he asks instead.
I leave the Berckemeyer after two hours of roaming her internals and admiring her nice lines. It´s great to see so much progress and even greater to see the quality of the work: Clearly, the precision of the parts Jörn and Matthias cut out and install is far superior to what I have done on my own boat , no clearance at all, everything looks like a pro has done it. I am sure the yacht will be an eyecatcher.
As I am already leaving, I spot the large carbon mast by Axxon hanging from the ceiling of the production hall. Matthias has clearly solely invested in high quality equipment: Sure, the budget for this boat must be a huge sum in the end, which reminds me of my conversation with Martin Menzner on my idea on fitting an aluminium hull by myself , but in the end, he will get not just a nice looking boat, but a true dream yacht capable of going everywhere at any time. I envy him so much – and I am happy for him being able to fulfill his dream this way. Let´s have an eye on this boat, I will come back in a few months. Maybe the first cabin will be finished by then to get an impression of the ship as a whole.
