The sky being the limit encouraged Vripack to design a unique 138’ New Generation Explorer Yacht for a repeat client which will be launched Summer 2011. Interesting to know is that this sturdy and trendy displacement yacht is kept below 500GRT even though she has an impressive five decks.

The full beam Master cabin, with man height panoramic windows, and bathroom are located on the main deck of the Vripack New Explorer Yacht, whilst 8 guests are accommodated in four cabins on the upper deck. As the Owner, Vripack and the builder, Cizgi Shipyard, are not are not shy to push boundaries, this yacht’s construction combines three different materials, being a steel hull, an aluminium superstructure and a composite wheelhouse and navigation mast. This combination saves weight and keeps her in perfect balance as she is taller then many similar built yachts and also more comfortable. Besides the Naval Architecture, Vripack paid a lot of attention to various exterior details during the design phase creating a robust Explorer with the elegance of a Super Yacht.
This twin engine vessel is under construction at CIZGI Shipyard in Turkey under ABS supervision in compliance with the MCA’s LY2 code and will feature an interior by Art Line.
