The perfect boat is a myth. It just doesn’t exist. Every boat design starts off with a vision of the purpose for the boat and how the boat will be used; its Mission.
Our backgrounds at XPlora Yachts® come from decades of boating in larger, luxurious boats, often requiring multiple crew – and expensive and scarce moorage. These larger boats cannot be transported over land practically.
Over time, our kids grew up, we got used to boating in the same waters, and we became more aware about burning hundreds of gallons of fuel every few hours and paying thousands of dollars for moorage every month. While at the same time, our bodies began to remind us that boating gets to be more challenging as our bodies age….
Today, we yearn for a yacht that is smaller, easier, simpler – that we can operate easily or on our own. Something that can get us closer to the water and nature, capable of accessing shallow anchorages – but unlike most small boats – with comfort and luxury, in cozy overnight accommodations. And to fit our vision, our ideal yacht should be designed to be stored on land, to be transportable over land by trailer and over sea by simple cargo freight – all the time “taking care of itself” and communicating with its owners via the Internet.
Stability, Seaworthiness and Accessibility
XPlora Yachts are designed for continuous operations in 3m+ seas. While there are many better things to be doing than battling heavy seas, XPlora Yachts are built to withstand rough water with ease, minimizing porpoising with a unique bow designed to soften vertical pitching in heavy seas.
Style, Performance and Efficiency
XPlora Yachts combine European styling with a high performance hull design that redefines the typical boat fuel-efficiency paradigm – from gallons-per-mile, to miles-per-gallon. Depending of load, owners can expect exceptional fuel economy and a range exceeding 1000nm.
Luxury and Comfort
Few boats are constructed with such strength, seaworthiness, style, performance and efficiency. XPlora Yachts combine these attributes with luxury and comfort features found on mega yachts.
Convenience via Technology
Sophisticated boats can be complicated to operate. We created PICASO®, a proprietary control automation platform based on industry-leading technologies certified by the world’s leading standards bodies including DNV, Lloyds and American Bureau of Shipping. PICASO uses artificial intelligence to simplify and automate the care and operation of XPlora Yachts.
