EXPLORER YACHT

Go further.
Stay longer.

We bring offshore engineering experience to a private yacht, combining comfort with the strength and reliability needed beyond the usual cruising grounds.

Working with owners and yards, we make sure the engineering lives up to the looks.

Designed for: · Long-range, remote destinations and time away from busy marinas. Range, stores and expedition equipment are planned around the journey, with ice capability where needed.

 

North Sea roots.

Drawing on Norway’s shipbuilding heritage, we design explorer yachts with the strength and seaworthiness to venture further. Good looks should come with serious capability.

Offshore experience behind every yacht.

Our experience comes from designing working vessels for demanding seas. We bring that same engineering discipline to yachting to ensure reliability and unrivaled seakeeping.

Robustness for demanding journeys.

A vessel suited to sustained use at sea helps owners explore beyond established cruising grounds with less dependence on support.

Engineering for sustained service.

Structural design, machinery access and maintainable systems draw on HAV Design’s offshore vessel experience. Tank capacities, stores and service spaces are assessed against the intended operation.

Go further.
Go safely.

Remote destinations demand more than range. Safety must travel with you, especially when help is far away.

Explorer confidence.

We bring Norwegian offshore experience to yacht safety. Stability, fire protection and backup systems are part of the design from day one. Redundancy is not a luxury when help is far away.
