EXPLORA 153' (46.63m) Feadship Motor Yacht Sold

Posted March 9, 2023 in Brokerage & New Build by Ashleigh King

Northrop & Johnson is delighted to announce the sale of the 153’ (46.63m) Feadship motor yacht EXPLORA by Yacht Brokers Ed Dickinson and Kevin Merrigan, acting on behalf of the seller. The yacht was last asking $14,900,000.

EXPLORA is an exceptional yacht that boasts a rich pedigree. Built in 1985, the vessel has been meticulously maintained by her devoted owner, ensuring that no expense was spared to keep her in pristine condition. In 2002, the yacht underwent a complete rebuild under Feadship’s supervision. Further refits were carried out in 2008 and 2017 at the Balk Shipyard in Holland. Annual maintenance and capital expenditures are continuously performed to maintain the yacht’s impeccable state.

Boarding the main deck aft, guests are welcomed by an alfresco dining area shaded by a canopy and furnished with seating for up to 12. A comfortable seating area with a coffee table and bar provide the perfect spot to relax and enjoy the surroundings. The main salon is accessible through double doors and is designed with an upright piano, an L-shaped sofa and two upholstered armchairs. The Hamptons beach house-style interior, designed by Pembroke & Ives, adds to the vessel’s unique appeal and creates a chic and relaxed ambiance.

Forward, the main dining salon features an impressive mahogany table set athwartships, with clever electrically controlled opaque panels and sliding doors that can provide privacy if needed. The skylounge can be accessed through a staircase from the foyer. The curved glass sliding door opens to the boat deck, where the yacht’s tenders, Jet Skis, gym equipment and water toys are stored. The sundeck is accessible via a staircase to starboard and is equipped with a Jacuzzi, seating/dining tables, a barbecue and lounge chairs.

The master stateroom is located on the main deck and features high-gloss mahogany and a white-panel ceiling that creates a welcoming ambiance. This full-beam stateroom features a king-size bed, private study, abundant storage, and an en-suite bathroom with a whirlpool tub. Five additional staterooms are located below deck, comprising two doubles, two twins and a fifth convertible cabin.

At the center of the C lies an atrium with floating stars and a lift without walls that allows seafarers to navigate decks in a novel fashion. Highlights of the living quarters include a duplex owner’s suite, a partially enclosed sea lounge that can be used at anchor or on the waves, a beach club with a sea-level dining area, and a private observation deck with an articulating crow’s nest. To top it off, C is outfitted with two infinity pools that match the hexagonal shape of the atrium and other seating areas.

C also shines on the technology front. She features a sleek hull and a fully electric propulsion system similar to sisterships Breathe and Savannah that renders her 30 percent more efficient than a typical 246-footer with dual shafts, propellers, and rudders, according to Feadship. Her streamlined underwater profile means less wake, too.

C will also be equipped with fuel cells and lithium-metal batteries that will together cover all power needs. (Feadship has also incorporated fuel cells on Project 821 .) Green methanol will be the fuel of choice due to its relatively high density and ease of use. Normal cruising speed on the fuel cells is 14 knots, while a top speed of 17 knots can be achieved by adding the battery power. In addition, two wave-actuated fins can generate enough grunt to cover one-third of the hotel load.

C will be fully unveiled at the Monaco Yacht Show next week. The yacht is just a concept at this stage, but Feadship says she is completely buildable. Perhaps the yard will land a buyer at the show.

Feadship announces 75m superyacht concept powered entirely by fuel cells

Dutch yard Feadship has announced a new, 75-metre concept known as C, with full details to be revealed at this year's Monaco Yacht Show . The superyacht has been designed by Studio de Voogt to commemorate Feadship's 75th Diamond Anniversary.

C is inspired by the design of a diamond and how its facets reflect and magnify light, which manifests in the use of glazing to "draw light deep into the yacht's interior". Her hull shape and fully electric propulsion system marks an evolution from the shipyard's concept Breathe, revealed in 2010 and the award-winning Savannah . 

This concept is predicted to be "30 per cent more efficient than a typical 75-metre yacht" with dual shafts, propellers, and rudders, according to Feadship. The yacht will also follow on from Feadship's ground-breaking Project 821 by drawing 100 per cent of her power needs from fuel cells directly running on methanol and complimented by lithium-metal batteries.

Other "innovations" on board C are the partially enclosed lower deck sea lounge, to be used at anchor or underway, a beach club with sea-level dining, a duplex owner’s suite and an articulating crow’s nest rising from a private observation deck. A pair of infinity-edge hexagonal pools match the shapes of various seating areas and the atrium. 

The new concept also follows on from an earlier concept, Pure, and the recently-delivered Ulysses with a fully digital command centre and navigation hub that includes "the latest in intelligent situational awareness technology with cameras and data fusion".

The yacht is expected to reach a top speed of 17 knots and a cruising speed of 14 knots. Additional power for the hotel load will be generated passively by two pairs of wave-actuated fins that fold out from the hull aft of the anchors.
