Exploring in Luxury

Bucking common ideas about explorer vessels, this custom superyacht is designed to go anywhere in style

When we say explorer vessels, we're sure a certain image springs to mind. Perhaps it’s rugged ships, designed and built tough enough to withstand anything. Perhaps it's big and hulking, having missed out on sleek lines for sheer size. However, the latest superyacht currently being built by Rosetti Superyachts upends these notions.

The 38m EXP is an explorer vessel with an interior that looks something along the lines of a modern high-rise apartment. The Hydro Tec-designed EXP’s angular lines will cover a steel hull and aluminium superstructure. As it is a custom build for experienced owners looking to sail off into the sunset, the design has several key focuses.

“The exterior design is a reflection of the yacht’s functionality and reliability, which were the key priorities for the owners,” said Hydro Tec founder Sergio Cutolo. “Special attention has been paid to the crew area and to the hold volumes, both essential requirements for long voyages far from ports or marinas.”

The owners requested all windows and opening be made as large as possible, which serves to add to the spacious interior, designed by Burdisso Capponi Yachts & Designs, which positively oozes luxury.

The upper deck lounge includes a service pantry and shares the level with a large office and captain’s cabin. On the sundeck, meanwhile, is a large dining table, corner bar and a Jacuzzi with a waterfall feature.

In the main deck saloon, views stretch out across the sea. The area is divided into veranda style seating towards the stern and the dining area. However, the real standout here is the custom-designed wine cellar chosen by the owners because it can be used without help from the crew.

Four guest cabins, two doubles and two twin singles, are generously sized, but the master cabin obviously takes the cake, with a walkthrough bathroom with his-and-hers basins and private balcony.
