A 50-metre custom explorer yacht, designed by Humphreys Yacht Design, is currently under construction at JFA Yachts in France.
Now, exterior visuals have been revealed, with the yacht scheduled for launch later this year.
To reduce weight and improve stability, the hull and lower superstructure use aluminium, while the upper superstructure is composite.
Importantly, Humphreys Yacht Design collaborated with A2B Marine Projects and the owner to deliver a global, high-endurance explorer yacht.
Designed for self-sufficiency, the vessel prioritises comfort, efficiency, and safety for long-distance, off-grid cruising.
Meanwhile, HYD handled naval architecture and styling, with interior design by renowned studio m2atelier.
Additionally, the yacht features a refined fast-displacement hull and hybrid propulsion for efficient, stable performance in varying conditions.
Specifically, a 9.25m tender will launch via a dedicated C-davit, while other cranes handle rescue gear and water toys.
For better views, large windows and single-level decks offer 360-degree visibility and strong connection to the sea.
On the upper deck, the Owner’s Suite includes a private lounge, office, outdoor lounge, and Jacuzzi.
Below, four guest cabins bring guest capacity to ten, supported by ten crew in separate service quarters.
Uniquely, a central tank deck passage allows crew to reach the engine room discreetly from forward crew spaces.
Elsewhere, the galley, dining area, and saloon sit on the main deck, along with a bar, BBQ, and day head.
Environmentally, the yacht uses a hybrid propulsion system and optimised hull design to reduce impact at sea.
Technically, twin MTU 12V 2000 M72 engines power the drive, paired with ZF gearboxes and Danfoss electric motors.
In addition, solar panels and high-capacity batteries allow silent, emissions-free operation while anchored or cruising slowly.
At full boost, the yacht reaches 20 knots; however, cruising speeds range comfortably between 12 and 16 knots.
Notably, at 12 knots, the yacht can travel over 5,000 nautical miles without refuelling.
