Custom Explorer Yacht 48M

Disclaimer

Built by De Donge Shipyards in the Netherlands to commercial-grade standards. Steel hull 10 mm, steel superstructure 8 mm.

Bureau Veritas standards.

Commercial vessel engineered for reliability, accessibility, and structural durability, unmatched quality.

Systems designed for maintenance at sea. Redundancy where it matters.

Long range voyaging. 7,000+ nautical miles range at 10 knots cruising speed, 79,000 liters total fuel capacity across two integrated hull tanks.

Designed to cross oceans.

She is currently under comprehensive refit (2025-2026) in Portugal, ready for any inspections. The right moment when the next owner can decide any modifications based on the final purpose. The refit project can be customized and tailored. Systems can be specified and layout can be adjusted.

This is not a finished project - it's a great opportunity to shape a vessel to precise requirements.

Under full paint. New pictures will be available end of March. Two primer coatings will be finalized within March 2026 on the full hull. Full interiors are stripped out.

N.B. Visuals represent the intended final configuration - the design direction and atmosphere upon completion. Fully customizable.

Being an Explorer Yacht, all crucial systems are built on very high level of redundancy and robust, "Bureau Veritas-grade" standards, defining a true and capable Explorer vessel, allowing her to operate efficiently for extended periods.This "safety-by-design" approach ensures that the failure of a single component—such as an engine, generator, or steering gear—does not render the vessel helpless.

All technical documentation is available upon request.

The technical layout/GA has been elaborated in January 2026.
