Explorer yachts and passagemakers for owners who go further than a production boat was ever meant to go. Range, seakeeping and self-sufficiency first, then everything else.
The voyage defines the vessel: distances between fuel, sea areas, climate, crew size and how long the owner wants to stay away. From that we decide hull type, speed, tankage, energy and the systems needed to live aboard.
For the same mission we drew a 20 m monohull passagemaker and a 19 m solar-electric catamaran, and let the numbers decide. Below 11 knots one hull wins; above 12 the two converge. We show both answers to clients before they choose.
Solar, batteries and an efficient main engine can be combined so the yacht runs silently at anchor and crosses oceans on one tank. Design targets are stated as targets until tank tests or sea trials confirm them.
Solar expedition catamaran · 19 m
A 19-metre platform that treats the sun as a second fuel tank: two knife-slender hulls, an ocean-rated diesel heart and a silent electric drive. Built to slip over the horizon and stay gone until its owner decides otherwise.
Expedition passagemaker · 20 m monohull
The ocean-crossing yacht reduced to pure physics: one slender hull, one engine built to run day and night for decades, an ocean in a single tank. Designed so that two people can take it anywhere, with no crew.
It depends on hull, speed and tankage. Our 20 m passagemaker concept targets about 4,100 nm at 8 knots.
Yes. Our 19 m concept combines 24 kWp of solar with 300 kWh of storage and a diesel engine for ocean range.
It can be designed for it. Our passagemaker concept is laid out so that two people can take it anywhere.
