With twin MAN V12 engines propelling her to a top speed of 33 knots, she flies past her contemporaries without looking back. An expansive single-level main deck provides ample entertaining space with a flexible galley arrangement.

Below deck, up to eight guests are accommodated across four beautifully appointed en suite cabins. Amidships, the full beam master suite is a champion of spacial design, whilst the en suite VIP cabin, forward, boasts a large double bed and walk-in-wardrobe. Furthermore, one double and one twin cabin (convertible into a double) complete her spacious accommodation. Unmissable, the all-new Y85 is unmistakably Princess.

THE GB85. GRAND BANKS ON A GRAND SCALE!

The GB85 is not simply a bigger Grand Banks. True, at 87 feet, this exquisite, long-distance cruiser is the largest yacht we’ve ever built. But her most impressive statistics are not to be found in her dimensions, but in the best-in-class figures we’re recording for her fuel efficiency and range. That’s where you will indeed find a big difference!

Thanks to the hydrodynamics of our proprietary V-Warp technology, the Grand Banks 85 uses half the fuel of other 85 footers as she requires half the horsepower to achieve the same speeds and performance.

Owners and their guests will travel further, faster and spend more time exploring their destination and less time at the fuel dock.

Needless to say, her interiors and amenities are everything you’d expect from a name that is synonymous with luxury and elegance. Her extended length and 22ft beam allow us to offer a wide range of configurations. Hull number 1 has three massive staterooms and separate crew quarters that can be used for children or additional guests.

ROBOT ARMS, CRAFTSMAN’S HANDS

Size was not our primary concern. You could sum up our approach as, ‘Better is Bigger’ and not the other way round. Quality and efficiency have always been our guiding principles.

The GB85 is essentially a man-made boat although robotics is playing an increasingly important role in our manufacturing process. Our 8-axis robots have enabled us to build the moulds for larger and more complex parts with greater accuracy and, in 2019, we won the award for ‘Innovation in a Production Process’ at the Boat Builder Awards.

But ultimately, the craftsmanship that has traditionally defined our brand rests in human hands and in the passion for perfection that motivates our team.

FROM THE BOTTOM UP

The GB85 is built using our proprietary V-Warp technology. Our unique hull form was designed by our CEO Mark Richards in partnership with his team of naval architects and was informed by data from NASA and the US Navy. This elongated version features our characteristically fine entry that flares amidships to roll the seas away from the yacht. In Mark’s words, “With this hull form, the longer the boat, the better she’ll run!”

The science bears him out. In tow tank testing at the Australian Maritime College in Tasmania, the ’85 delivered extraordinary results. At 21 knots there was virtually no wake! To sum up Mark’s reaction, “Mate, most other vessels of this size would be towing a tidal wave!”

LIGHTER YET STRONGER

The hull employs vacuum-infused E-Glass with carbon fibre in the structural areas, cored with Corecell ® and Airex ® foam, stitched multi-axial fabric and 100% Vinylester resins. Everything else, the longitudinals, the transversals, the bulkheads, the entire deck and superstructure are formed from fully infused carbon fibre. As a result, these structures are lighter but stronger with a higher fibre-to-resin ratio and have enabled us to hit our target weight of 40.6 metric tons.

The practical value of this approach is clearly evident in the displacement figures. The GB85 has a half-load displacement of just over 126,000lbs, a remarkable achievement when you consider that rival boats of this size are routinely weighing in at over 150,000lbs!

9 Explorer Yachts Made to Cruise the World’s Most Remote Destinations

You don't need a 250-footer to reach the ends of the earth. serious explorer yachts now come in owner-operated 85-foot lengths., howard walker, howard walker's most recent stories.

• This 112-Foot Superyacht Has an Interior That’ll Make Your Manhattan Condo Jealous
• This 1967 Shelby GT500 Has Been Reimagined to Perfection. Now It’s up for Grabs.
• One of Ferrari’s Earliest Formula 1 Cars Is Now Up for Grabs

With last year seeing a record number of explorer-style yachts under construction, it’s clear a new generation of superyacht buyer is no longer content to jostle for moorings in crowded harbors of the Med or Caribbean. They want open space and adventure.

Expedition yachts have traditionally been converted freighters or supply vessels, like the 223-foot Ragnar or 250-foot Yersin. But this new generation of compact superyachts, many below 150 feet, is designed for  similar missions in smaller packages, thanks to utilitarian hull designs and expanded fuel capacities.

One in this group is designed to be self-sufficient for 30 days as it explores remote regions. Another has a top speed of 25 knots, giving it the ability to outrun storms. Several have enough rear deck space to land a helicopter.

Name-brand builders such as Holland’s Damen and Italy’s Sanlorenzo and Cantiere delle Marche have been joined by a number of specialist Turkish yards, like Bering and AvA, in offering capable, adventure-ready vessels with luxury interiors.

Here are nine of the finest. Most are new, but we’ve included several recent launches, and even a decade-old classic, to show just how far this field has come.

Damen SeaXplorer 58 ‘Pink Shadow’

Nothing screams “explorer yacht” louder than the 190-foot SeaXplorer 58 Pink Shadow from Damen Yachting. This oceangoing beast was just launched from the Dutch brand’s yard in Antalya, Turkey. The heavily customized Pink Shadow (it’s painted green) has a towering, ice-crushing, vertical bow and a distinctive open forward gallery. The boat is designed to explore the most remote corners of the globe. The vessel can be completely self-sufficient for up to a month, with the ability to cruise at 11.5 knots for over 5,000 nautical miles. Need to fly in more supplies? There’s a basketball-court-sized helipad at the stern. The yacht’s huge in-hull garages can also be filled with a fleet of toys, including two multipurpose tenders, motorcycles, ATVs, and a 4×4 SUV, plus a custom 37-foot racing sailboat.

Lynx Crossover 27 ‘Avontuur’

Paint numbers on the bow and you might mistake this new 88-foot explorer from Lynx Yachts for a military vessel. There’s even space on the open aft deck for a Navy SEAL–style RIB. But the Crossover 27 is all about adventure (“Avontuur” is the Dutch word for exactly that.) Designed by Holland’s Bernd Weel with a hull shape by Diana Yacht Design, the Lynx comes with a pair of 850-horse Caterpillars that can power it to a top speed of 14 knots. At 10 knots, it has a range of over 3,000 nautical miles. This first example was commissioned for an adventure-loving Californian who had the 750-square-foot aft deck designed to carry both an Air Nautique G23 wakeboard boat and 16-foot RIB. The garage on the deck below can transport Jet Skis, paddleboards, and scuba gear.

One of the baseline requirements for legitimate explorer yachts is that they be safe and stable in rough seas. Which is why the 85-foot explorer is so impressive. With no fewer than three stabilizer systems, the Arksen can stay upright even if slammed side-on by some Perfect Storm– sized rogue wave. The all-aluminum hull is even designed to recover from a 180-degree knockdown. The Arksen’s semi-displacement hull and glass-filled superstructure come from U.K.-based Humphries Yacht Design. Twin, heavy-duty 330 hp Cummins diesels give the boat a top speed of 14 knots. At nine knots, it has an astonishing range of 7,000 nautical miles.

Sanlorenzo 500EXP ‘Para Bellum’

The 154-foot 500EXP , the newest and biggest addition to the yard’s luxury explorer yacht range, has space for a helicopter on its stern. It also features an ice-crushing full-displacement steel hull and towering bow that gives it serious expedition cred. But the 500EXP is designed to cruise to the most remote corners of the planet in comfort. The vessel has a range of more than 4,500 nautical miles at 11 knots with the twin 970-horse Cat C32s powerplants. Below decks, the generous 31-foot beam delivers copious amounts of space for 10 guests in five cabins. The latest version of the yacht, the gray-hulled Para Bellum , can now be chartered from $300,000 a week. Helicopter not included.

Alpha Yachts Alfresco 125 ‘Piccolo’

Turkey’s Alpha Custom Yachts go-anywhere 125-foot Piccolo focuses on big spaces to enjoy the great outdoors. The flybridge itself sprawls across 1,180 square feet, with features such as a plunge pool up front and uncluttered entertaining spaces at the rear. The sleek, clean lines are from Britain’s H2 Yacht Design, with the semi-displacement fiberglass hull from naval architects Laurent Giles. And unlike most explorer yachts, the boat is fast. Twin Caterpillar C32s can punch her to a top speed of 17.5 knots, though throttle back to 10 and it will cover over 2,300 nautical miles. The first in the Alfresco 125 series, Piccolo, was launched in 2020. It is now on the market for $12.5 million.

Bering B145 ‘Heeus’

The flagship of Turkey’s Bering Yachts is the 145-foot Heeus . It has a range of over 4,600 miles, which means it can run from San Francisco to Hawaii, and back, on a single tank of fuel at 12 knots. In addition to its twin main Caterpillar engines, the B145 can also be powered by electric motors and batteries. The hybrid system is designed to ease the yacht silently into more eco-sensitive anchorages and run overnight without generators. The outside decks are huge—the sundeck alone spans almost 1,000 square feet. The boat is available for weekly charter this summer for around €230,000 ($250,000).

AvA Yachts Kando 110 Explorer ‘Infinity-Nine’

AvA’s Kando110 Explorer series hit the headlines last November after it emerged that the Turkish yard’s newest launch had been purchased by former San Antonio Spurs’ basketball star Tony Parker. He called the boat Infinity Nine . The 110-foot, steel-and-aluminum world-girder was designed to crisscross the Atlantic, courtesy of its 6,500 mile range and fuel-sipping 650 hp Volvo D16 diesels. Distinguished by a four-deck layout, towering topsides, and expansive hull-side glass, the Kando110 has six staterooms, including a 290-square-foot full-beam master.

CdM Flexplorer 130 ‘Aurelia’

Superyacht cranes have never been this cool. The towering A-frame heavy-lifter on the rear deck of CdM 130 Flexplorer Aurelia can lift and launch the yacht’s hefty 28-foot tender over the stern without breaking a sweat—in fact, it can hoist up to 3.5 tonnes. But even more impressive is that, when stowed, the crane disappears completely into recesses in the yacht’s teak deck. Sergio Cutolo’s Hydro Tec studio did the yacht design. The Flexplorer series lives up to its name: Yachts can be built from 127 to 154 feet. Power-wise, Aurelia , the first of the series, has twin Caterpillar C32s to give a 14-knot top speed. At 10 knots, it has a 5,000-nautical-mile range.

Canados Oceanic 143 Fast Expedition

Traditional explorer yachts tend to chug across oceans at single-digit speeds. But there are times when you need to outrun a storm or punch against a fast-flowing tide. That’s the beauty of Italian builder Canados’s new Oceanic 143 tri-deck: speed. Powered by three 2,400hp Caterpillar C32 12-cylinder turbo diesels, the boat can reach a top speed of 25 knots. With a fuel capacity of 8,320 gallons, if you ease back to an eight-knot cruise speed, range extends to over 6,000 miles. Much of this comes down to the yacht’s innovative “Dis-planing” hull (see image above). Canados gave it the unusual name because the design is a rare combination of “displacement” and “planing”—topped off by a wave-slicing, straked-bow design.

Overview Continued...

Design and Engineering

From the renowned naval architects of Norman R Wright and Sons the hull is designed to be the most efficient and most beautiful semi-displacement hull on the water. 

Building on their experience we have made extensive use of Computational Fluid Dynamics CFD software to fine tune the hull design to ensure it is absolutely the most efficient it can be and have the best possible behavioural characteristics in all sea states.

Composite engineers have designed the optimum strength/weight ratio of the structure, so we retain the traditional robust construction you would expect from Fleming – but it is achieved with less weight and is all verified by DNV.

The hull design and engineering will result in the best fuel economy and range of any semi displacement boat in the world. 

The absolute highest specification of equipment available - as standard – installed the Fleming way, with redundancy and access for maintenance in mind.

Two versions

Open air – for those who prefer the wind in their hair, the traditional style Fleming open flybridge.

Enclosed – The pilothouse is moved to the upper deck where it is fully enclosed and still fully outfitted like a Fleming pilothouse should be. Down below more space is opened up for flexible dining and entertaining.

Style 

Exterior - The lines and the look are unmistakably classic Fleming. Furthermore the exterior details have been refined and simplified to create a cleaner look with flush and hidden hardware throughout.

Interior – Various options from traditional to contemporary, but always elegant, warm, comfortable and practical. Double glazing as standard throughout keeps you warm in winter and cool in summer.

Deck Spaces

Foredeck – Hydraulic and electric Maxwell windlasses, Ultra anchors and s/s chain. Huge storage lockers for all shapes and sizes of gear. Fold away seating alcove.

Flybridge deck – Everything you need for cruising, entertaining and relaxing as well as space for a 17 foot tender that can be launched on either port or stbd sides via the 2000lb crane.

Aft deck – Raised and sheltered seating and dining for 10 with amenities you need and sheltered gul-wing door access to engine room and crew’s quarters below.

Cockpit – Easy access, ample storage for all the dive gear and fishing equipment you may need. Warping winches to help take the load off

Swim platform – expansive enough for all uses and hydraulic lowering option makes it easy for additional tender or PWC storage and launching. 

Easy boarding – Multiple side boarding gates make accessibility from fixed or floating docks easy and safe for all.

Interior Layout options

Accommodation A - 3 cabin layout

Accommodation B - 4 cabin layout

Crews quarters A – Twin cabins and crew galley

Crews quarters B – Single cabin and crew galley

The Ultimate Cruising Yacht

Along with their team of naval architects and engineers, Fleming has been hard at work for the last 3 years creating a completely new design, the Fleming 85. The aim for this new model was simply to build the finest ocean going pilothouse motor-yacht in every respect. Maintaining the classic Fleming look, this new model is available in two distinct versions– an open flybridge, and a new enclosed flybridge design. With the enclosed flybridge option, the pilothouse is moved to the enclosed upper deck, giving more space below for flexible galley layouts. With true ocean crossing range, superb hull fuel efficiency, and speeds of up to 25 knots– this is the ultimate cruising yacht.

Please note: with hull 85-001 still being built, the images provided are high quality 3D renders of the Fleming 85. More accurate details and pictures to come soon.

Pershing yachts

The carbon fibre revolution. The umpteenth leap forward in Pershing style, each and every component designed to amaze, starting with the construction material. Lightweight, fast, hyper-performing, with the most spacious, welcoming spaces and a new propulsion system, the Pershing 8X is the dream and masterpiece of the “X Generation”.

The sophisticated naturalness of the carbon fibre boosts Pershing's sporty design and its most iconic elements such as the stunning side wings and the aerodynamic profile of the sun deck. The ingenious and scenic integration of the stairway leading to the sport flybridge lets an aesthetic signature evolve into a functional element, thus leaving more space in the cockpit.

The twin engines ensure speeds of 45 knots in the standard version and up to 48 knots in the optional configuration. Pershing 8X is equipped with the groundbreaking system that integrates propulsion control with the manoeuvring, navigation and monitoring systems, which is accessible to the pilot via large natural carbon panels and 24" touchscreen monitors.

The unrivalled combination of quality and innovation creates spaces which are exceptional in terms of both aesthetics and functionality. With dual side access, the main deck ensures intimacy and privacy. The helm station is a masterpiece of design, technology and sportiness. The innovative Music Hull system allows music to be listened to underwater, with high audio quality.

Viking Sport Cruisers 85 Motor Yacht

• By George Sass, Jr.
• Updated: September 14, 2009

Enough time has passed that I feel comfortable mentioning an overall boatbuilding blunder that transpired during the go-go days of the old economy-you know, the period that vanished with a puff about a year ago. During this crazy time, I sensed something wicked was brewing when our editorial office received weekly press releases announcing the birth of yet another boatbuilder or perhaps a new model. Many of these designs never made it to launch day, while others, unfortunately, did.

In my opinion, we experienced a shallow period in boatbuilding. There was a rush to bring product to market in order to meet a superficial demand. Thus, features such as the number of flatscreen televisions, MP3 plugs, exotic counter materials, and the type of leather on the sofa outweighed priorities such as hull design, cruising comfort, performance, and quality construction. Some in the industry lost sight of the real joy and importance of going to sea on a good, comfortable, honest boat.

Well, those days are nothing but a memory. A new trend is once again blazing the trail, clawing past all the static of the past: real boats, built for real boaters, by real boatbuilders. And that’s exactly what I met head-on while running the new Viking Sport Cruisers 85 Motor Yacht on the south cost of England. This peppy little ship was designed to cruise in comfort and safety-pure and simple.

A major reason for the success of the 85, and the entire Sport Cruisers line for that matter, is the collaboration between U.K.-based Princess Yachts and New Jersey’s Viking Yachts. Each Viking Sport Cruiser that I’ve tested since 2000 reveals a smart blend of practicality, sound engineering, and timeless style. “Our guys use their boats,” said James Noble, Viking Sport Cruisers’ marketing director. Princess offers the engineering, construction, and design expertise, and incorporates Viking’s formidable building experience, strong dealer network, and knowledge of how its customers go boating. It’s a tough formula to beat.

During our test, Noble made it clear that the new 85 is not simply an evolution of the now discontinued 84. Instead, it is actually a “smaller” SC 95. I ran the 84 in 2001 and at the time was impressed by the interior volume and layout. Yet, to Noble’s point, the 85 is vastly different. For example, the deckhouse of the 84 curved inward. Yes, it was a nice design element, but the treatment compromised some interior volume in the salon and galley areas. On the other hand, the most noticeable feature when walking through the double-sliding doors of the 85 is the expansive space. Part of this can be attributed to the salon layout and use of free-form furniture. Our test boat featured a sofa with two armchairs, opposite a large-screen television. Forward is a dining table with seating for eight and lockers to house the factory-supplied dishware. It’s refreshing to see a dining table that can actually accommodate the same number of diners that the yacht can berth. The entire salon and dining area is bathed in cascading natural light from thoughtfully placed side windows that also allow you to see the world passing by as you relax on the sofa. These details do not happen by accident.

The galley also offered a pleasant departure from many European designs. For the most part, European galleys tend to resemble the butler’s pantry of other boats, particularly American ones. The galley on the 85 is not immense, but it is larger than some of its competitors’ and very functional, thanks to a full range of appliances. Our test boat featured an optional configuration that kept the area open to the pilothouse. Standing at the counter, the cook can easily serve anyone seated at the small dinette in the lower helm area. There was plenty of counter space for serious meal preparation and enough stowage to provision for an extended cruise. A side door will allow service crew to come and go without disturbing guests.

Are there bigger galleys in some other similar-sized U.S.-built boats? You bet, but often those are at the expense of a functional lower helm station. That’s not the case on the 85. Every Viking Sport Cruiser I’ve tested has featured an exceptionally designed helm area. On the 85, all gauges are placed directly in the line of sight, as is the full electronics array. The single-lever throttle and gear controls are placed perfectly within reach, providing a natural orientation along with an extremely comfortable, form-fitting, helm seat. You could use the dinette to port to spread out a chart and cruising guides while planning your next destination.

Walking through the lower deck, I was reminded yet again that the 85 shares more of a family pedigree with the 95 than the 84. The primary difference is the result of placing the crew quarters abaft the engineroom on the 85. (They were in the forepeak of the 84 with access from a bow hatch.) This provides a true four-stateroom, fourhead layout. The master stateroom expands across the entire beam and rivals many 100-footers. There are four large ports on each side, providing a light, airy feel. I especially like the dinette for two on the starboard side. It provides a perfect perch to wake up with a morning cup of coffee and the paper, or to spread out with a laptop and bang out some work after your morning swim.

Forward, the starboard stateroom has a walkaround berth, two opening ports, and two hanging lockers. You can also specify two berths side by side in this cabin. The port cabin on our test boat featured two twin berths. Both staterooms are en suite. Forward is a huge VIP stateroom, with a walk-in locker, plenty of stowage, and a vanity.

By moving the crew quarters abaft the engineroom, the designers were able to create first-class crew accommodations, unlike a lot of European boats in this size range. Features include a separate crew mess with a refrigerator, plus a dinette, and two good-sized staterooms.

Engineroom access is through the crew area. (Soft patches are incorporated in the salon sole above in case an engine needs to be removed.) I found the space on the old 84 tight, but serviceable. On the 85, there is more than enough room to get around the 1,825-horsepower Caterpillar C32A diesels. Wiring runs were neat, coded, and labeled. It was obvious that thought was given to making both routine service checks and major service items easy. Like Noble said, his buyers use their boats. And this area would represent a home run to that clientele.

The thoughtful details continued on deck, with attention to small items-like placing the water fills aft, accessed from the swim platform. Anyone who has dragged a dirty hose across a deck will appreciate this thoughtful feature. Forward, there is a large deck locker, and a clever seating area with a sunpad, settee, and table. A dual windlass system will address a variety of anchoring and mooring needs.

Viking Sport Cruisers offers a flying bridge option that is constructed and outfitted in New Jersey by its subsidiary. The bridge on our test boat was set up for cruising and entertaining alike. There is plenty of seating for relaxing guests, and features include a Jacuzzi, large bar, ice maker, grill, and another well-thought-out helm station.

One of the things I’ve come to expect about a Viking Sport Cruiser is that she’s not just another pretty face-and the 85 is certainly no exception. With the C32A diesels, she achieves a cruising speed of between 26 and 28 knots, depending on how the boat is outfitted. Expect stabilizers to take a little over a knot of speed away. The top end is again between 30 and 32 knots. (Our test boat was lightly equipped, with no gear, tender, or stabilizers.) It stands to reason that a company such as Viking Yachts, known for fast, tough convertibles, would ensure its builder partner would be of similar pedigree. In a gradual three- to four-foot swell, the 85 rose on plane with no protest, settling in on about a five-degree running angle. She has the response of a boat about half her size.

The Viking Sport Cruisers 85 Motor Yacht is proof positive that if a builder finds its niche, success will follow. When it goes above and beyond that to ensure it’s building boats for serious yachtsmen to take cruising, not to just hang out on at a marina, then success is almost guaranteed. After all, we’re finding our that the good old days weren’t always as good as they seemed.
