The new 60-metre (197ft) Explorer yacht by Virgin Concept Yachts was designed with ocean-going explorer layout, which combines amenities of a luxury yacht with the requirements needed for vessels undertaking global voyages and extended self-sufficient operations in remote areas, while reducing their ecological footprint by as much as possible.

The yacht was designed by Edwin Vandermark and boasts timeless, modern design with powerful, yet elegant lines, turning heads wherever she might appear. There is a spacious tender garage aboard, accommodating tenders, a mini submarine and a variety of water toys, such as jet skis and sailing dinghies.

The aft deck boasts vast relaxation areas for sunbathing as well as the popular spa pool. The stern converts into a large open ‘beach club’, offering various sport and recreational opportunities for guests on board.

At the bow, the high foredeck typical of large expedition yachts is not only functional, but also aesthetically pleasing. The near-vertical shape of the bow is to benefit from a longer water line as well as of a considerably enlarged living area – and it is one of the most striking layout attributes of the 60m design.
