Are you up for an adventure? Many euro-built yacht owners and sailboat enthusiasts are now turning to expedition yachts to satisfy their need for long-distance cruising. Whether spending weeks exploring the Caribbean or cruising the countless islands of the Pacific Northwest, most expedition yacht builders focus on comfort and seaworthiness first and foremost. These are not boats that will exceed 30 knots, but rather are meant to cruise in the 8-12 knot range while burning very little fuel. Cutting-edge construction techniques like infusion with high-quality resin, have allowed these explorer boats to become lighter without losing durability. United Yacht Sales has expert brokers on staff that have sold many expedition yachts and would be happy to represent you in the purchase or sale of your next boat.

SEARCH ALL YACHTS

Expedition Yachts vary in materials just like they do in design. Do you want full displacement or semi-displacement? Would you rather have a steel, composite, or aluminum hull? And most importantly, what type of range do you require for your anticipated cruising plans? These are all questions that a professional United Yacht broker can assist you with.

Below are some of the prominent expedition yacht brands available today :

• Hampton Yachts
• Hampton Endurance Yachts
• Lurssen Yachts
• Marlow Yachts
• Nordhavn Yachts
• President Yachts

While some explorer yacht builders use steel for their hull, some believe aluminum may be thebetter choice in the case of weight reduction, higher performance speed, better fuel consumption and seaworthiness.

The expedition yacht requires lots of crew space. Expert crew members are typically needed for long-range expeditions. An excellent example - the 26 meter Octopus, is well-known as the world’s largest explorer yacht and boasts an enormous crew of 50! However most owner/operators and couples wanting to cruise tend to buy a yacht that is easily managed. Now with many yachts having joystick controls and bow thrusters, the ease of handling has improved substantially.

The expedition will be taking its owners and guests to remote and exotic destinations so a full line-up of tenders and toys is a must. Look for seaplanes, helicopters, and sportfish yachts! The whole gamut. Ulysses, the 107.4 meter line-up is beyond awesome, with six motorbikes, a landing craft, an amphibious tender in its garage, not to mention a 21-metre, 50-knot catamaran support boat that can be hoisted off the foredeck by a pair of custom-designed cranes!!!

Many boating enthusiasts feel that explorer yachts are at their best measuring in at least at 40 meters long to carry all the essentials. Cantiere Delle Marche has been highly successful in building compact expeditions. This Italian builder has manufactured these ‘minis’ in the size range of 25 meters to its 33.4 meter Narvalo, created and born to cruise with the narwhals she was named after.

Want to test if a yacht is, indeed, an expedition yacht, then just zero in on the details of her maximum cruising range which translates to the distance it can travel without making a fuel stop. The majority of the yachts 40 meters and up usually have a transatlantic cruising range of around 3,000 nautical miles, but there are some exceptional expedition builds are set up to have an even longer range. And her long distance speed ranks in between 10 to 12 knots.” Ice, the extraordinary 90 meter Lürssen yacht is a prime example being able to cruise up to 6,000 nautical miles at 15 knots and never needing to make a fuel stop!

The best shoppers will also want to consider the expeditions in questions emissions control, deep storage, and extreme maneuverability.

The mission profile for building an expedition yacht can be for any (or a combination) of the following…entire family reunion exploration, worldwide big game or fly fishing, remote dive expedition, the urge to check out unique and different cruising areas, a feeling of freedom while cruising, or several other reasons.

Since they were built to handle the roughest voyage conditions, safety and comfort of the owners, guests and crew must be the focus of the engineering and buying criteria . An expedition yacht needs possess an extremely efficient and sea-kindly hull. To meet this, the vessel should be a full displacement hull combined with excellent fuel capacity to reach at least a 4000nm range at 10 knots. Of course, the latest in high efficiency propulsion and energy systems, ensuring there are new batteries, chargers and converters, is necessary.

The entire exterior and interior of the vessel you decide on must be a piece of cake to maintain. This makes a key difference between many long range yachts and trawlers being built and one that you can call your own. Another idea when choosing the best expedition yacht is to know you can give it a new look, such as a white yacht, by replacing teak rails or decking with stainless or the latest in deck systems (i.e. Stone Decking). Since these yachts make thousands of miles a year, the up keep and standard of materials and systems is most important to help with all upkeep.

Finally, the engine room is another factor of crucial importance. Ensure that proven high wear equipment is used throughout and that it is a large, well laid out engine room designed to be easy for the crew to tend to. The goal is for any engineer hired will walk in and add a smile to his face!

Follow these tips and a smile will be eternally on yours too as the proud owner of a quality expedition yacht!

There is an adage in ship-building; if something looks right then it probably is right. The new Watson 48 expedition motoryacht from New Zealand’s Pacific Motoryachts is a case in point.

Berthed at Auckland’s Viaduct Harbour, the little ship looks strangely incongruous hemmed in among the multi-million dollar super-yachts of the rich and famous. Pacing the breastwork, one can only imagine that a ship like this is built to work, that it belongs at sea.

The nuggety full-displacement cruiser is the latest in the Watson range of motoryachts – traditional trawler-style ships built to time-honoured design and exacting standards with an emphasis that, like a compass, falls on four cardinal points: Safety, strength, serviceability and range.

Designed specifically for long range cruising and ocean passages with “high-latitude” ability, the new Watson 48 meets the demands for good sea-keeping ability by adhering to the basics which include the lowest possible A/B Ratio which for the Watson 48 is 1.95 and high statical and dynamic stability. The Watson 48 meets the highest International Maritime Organization (I.M.O.) Torremolineas Conference Criteria requirements., plus the I.M.O. “Severe Wind and Rolling” criteria and possesses inherent directional stability. It also has a high standard of watertight closures.

The Watson family name has been synonymous in small ship construction for more than 50 years. Naval architects, T C Watson & Sons, were involved in the design of the first steel trawlers built in New Zealand, some of which have now clocked up more than a million miles. Over the last thirty five years designer Wally Watson has been New Zealands most prolific designer of steel craft which include vessels such as the Tauranga Harbour Tug Te Matua, the 4000BHP ocean going tug Sea Tow 25 and dozens of smaller vessels operating throughout the Pacific.

The common dominant features influencing the design of all these craft are hull forms optimised for seakeeping and fuel efficiency, structural strength, mechanical simplicity and steaming endurance.

Based in Wangarei, Pacific Motoryachts was established in 2001 to develop, build and promote the Watson range of motoryachts. The company’s first build project, a Watson 72, the second of this design, the first was  launched in 1994, has attracted considerable market interest and now led to the development of the entire Watson range. With the launch of the first Watson 48, company attention is turning to the new 54 and 65-foot pilothouse models.

Built on transverse frames, the Watson 48 has a double chine hull form manufactured from 6mm steel plate with 4mm and 5mm decks and superstructure. All steel fabrication was carried out by the Tenix shipyard at Whangarei. Tenix New Zealand was established to fabricate steel components for the ANZAC frigate building program. The company went on to successfully tender for the construction of the Royal New Zealand Navy’s new inshore patrol craft.

Peter Watson says the first W48 has been specifically built as their own boat and a means to further develop the design and template for the new Watson 54, which along with the W48 are the models Pacific Motoryachts believes will have the most impact and appeal in the demanding US-market.

“We may take the W48 to Australia and display her there. We are also discussing shipping the boat to the east coast of the United States if we can meet some key show dates.”

SHIP LIKE INTERIOR

The interior of the ship is best described as having a yacht-like finish with handcrafted Burmese teak cabinetry, solid timber floors, custom-fitted upholstery and furnishings and a practical layout, with an emphasis on” live aboard” ability.

The layout is determined largely by the vessel’s size and dimensions and differs from larger models in-so-much as the main accommodations are forward of the central engine room. The saloon and galley share the aft section. The crew accommodation is located in the foc`sle, aft of the internal collision bulkhead.     

Peter Watson says modelling shows that the location that suffers least from seaway motion is centred at a point two-thirds of the length of the ship from the bow.

“This means that the aft two-thirds is the best location and every endeavour should be made to group the most important accommodations in this location. This includes the owner’s stateroom and guest accommodation, saloon, galley and the helm station. From the W54 up we arrange the owner’s and guest accommodation in this area separated by the engine room. The forward third is reserved for extra crew accommodation.”

While the W48 does not allow for an aft owners stateroom the internal volume is impressive with generous headroom throughout and an easy flow from the saloon to the bridge or two double staterooms. There are various layout options available, in the first boat the cabins are a mirror image of each other, each with a domestic-size double berth with drawers under, large hanging locker and private tiled ensuite with full-size domestic shower, vanity and toilet. Large opening ports provide natural light and ventilation and the use of brass fittings lend a measure of tradition and charm.

The focal point of the W48, however, is the bridge. This again is a ship-like affair and could almost be described as minimalist by today’s modern-yacht standards. While beautifully finished in teak, the bridge has been spared many non-essential navigation aids and big-screen electronics. The wheel is set off-centre with a centre-mounted single compass. Flush mounted instruments include a Furuno Nav-Net system giving radar, sounder and chart plotting capabilities. Communications gear is by Icom and include a 150-watt HF SSB and commercial-grade VHF radio. A TQM electronic autopilot complete with its own secondary back-up system takes care of helming duties.

The bridge layout reflects Pacific Motoryachts belief that people naturally gravitate to the bridge when steaming. To that end a comfortable saloon has been built on the port side of the bridge with a day bunk behind. Opposite to starboard and facing aft is a full size chart table. Visibility is unrestricted with windows facing forward and aft. Port and starboard aluminium doors give easy access to the walk-around Portuguese teak deck, bridge deck and huge twin-gypsy Lofrans anchor windless on the foredeck. 

Back below, the engine room is accessed from the starboard side of the central companionway looking aft. It is steep climb down in to the bowels of the ship but it is a climb worth making. Completely lined in acoustic sound-proofing and as clean as whistle, the engine room is ship-like in proportion, layout and functionality. Daunting to the uninitiated, Peter Watson believes three-hours tuition would be enough to give would-be owners a basic understanding of the vessel’s systems. Simplicity is a function of good design and every effort has been made to ensure the running gear is rugged, practical and totally reliable. Every major on-board system has a back-up to comply with the Class Society Rules, and provide redundancy which is expected in today’s cruising yacht. In the case of piping systems for example, these are all fabricated in metal including the fuel system, the purpose being to protect the integrity of the longitudinal subdivision of the ship, protect fire zones and protect all thru-hull sea fittings.

 “All essential services in our vessels are provided with not only two means of locomotion but also two independent sources of power. These include bilge and fire pumps, fuel transfer pumps and steering gear apparatus. We believe that for complete safety an ocean going motor yacht should also have at least two sources of high-tension power, two complete sets of anchors and cable deployed for immediate use and be equipped with navigation lights that comply in full with the International Collision Regulations”.

Powered by a single 185 horsepower six-cylinder turbo-charged Perkins marine diesel swinging a 40inch four-blade propeller on a 2.5” shaft the W48 has a cruise speed of 8.6 knots at 1800 rpm giving a range of approx. 3300 nautical miles – or 21 litres per hour. This, says Watson, allows for a 10 per cent “arrival” reserve and a further 10 per cent reserve for bad weather. Push the throttle all the way forward to 2100 rpm and the ship will steam along at 9.4 knots and consume about 35 litres per hour.

Back up to the main engine is provided by the Perkin’s 60 horsepower diesel generator. This is equipped with its own shaft and propeller – a procedure referred to as wing propulsion or “get-home”. The smaller engine will propel the ship at 5.8 knots at 2500 rpm.

With a loaded draft of 6’6” and a displacement of 45 tonnes, the W48 is a big boat by any measure but its draft and weight are two of its biggest assets when it comes to handling the yacht in confined spaces.

The W48 is less affected by windage when manoeuvring, “unlike planing hulls and, to a lesser extent semi-displacment hulls. The boat is fitted as standard with a 12 horsepower bow-thruster and hydraulic stabilisers are an option.”

The Watson 48 had its first public outing at the recent on-the-water boatshow at Auckland’s Viaduct Harbour and attracted genuine interest. With a price of NZ $1.5m to $1.6m depending on equipment specification, the vessel is competitive in the growing trawler-style market.

“If people compare apples with apples then I think our prices are very favourable. We believe our well built steel construction with its structural integrity and inherent design quality will appeal to those seeking a genuine open-ocean cruising boat.”

EXPEDITION YACHTS FOR SALE

These are the bluewater, transoceanic passagemakers that can be found circling the globe safely, efficiently, and comfortably. Typically full displacement vessels large enough to carry thousands of gallons of fuel and water, these vessels can cruise at speeds up to 10 knots in most seaways and remain untethered to shoreside facilities for months at a time. They are rugged and supremely capable. The best of this breed come from the commercial and military worlds. Inspect the size and quality of the gear on an expedition yacht and that will be obvious.

These are not production boats, and no two yachts are the same. Each is a custom or semi-custom yacht tailored to the desires and cruising plans of its owners.

Most of these yachts have a single diesel engine in an engine room that is central to the design of the boat, with outstanding access to machinery and systems. Multiple generators supply electrical and hydraulic power as needed, much like a small ship. 

The engineering that goes into expedition yachts eliminates single points of failure in all systems, and redundancy is factored into all critical areas. Self-sufficiency is also a key element of the design spiral of an expedition yacht. Unlike most other categories of cruising yachts, the living space elements of the best yachts in this category, such as galley and staterooms, are secondary to the engine room where supreme reliability and accessibility of the machinery and systems is first and foremost.

As a result, most expedition yachts use commercial grade, hydraulic systems for windlass, bow and stern thrusters, stabilizers, and tender cranes for the ultimate performance. All gear is oversized and capable of operating in extreme conditions.

If a trawler is considered an SUV vehicle, think of an expedition yachts as an Earth Roamer, a crossover between a luxury yacht and research vessel. In fact, some expedition yachts do conduct research when they go on a long cruise to remote areas or during a circumnavigation, on marine life, health of reef ecosystems, and the impacts of climate change.

The layout includes a fully outfitted pilothouse like a ship’s bridge, offering the safest place to operate the vessel at sea. The latest and best in communications and navigation electronics are located in the pilothouse, including Class A AIS transponders, satellite phone, and commercial radars. Everything, in fact, that allows the owners to safely remain at sea, or meander through island chains, with enough provisions, fuel, and water to travel non-stop halfway or more around the world.

The expedition yacht is fully insulated to operate in both tropical and extreme latitudes, where it can remain for months. Larger yachts will have a captain and crew, but with today’s technology and systems, owner-operated yachts are found up to 85 feet or so. All expedition yachts are stabilized for comfort at sea.

Builders use steel, aluminum, or fiberglass to build these yachts, and all are classified for open ocean, and many rated for ice, for high latitude exploration.

Luxury accommodations are typically two or three staterooms for owner operated vessels, or more, depending on size, as larger yachts will have crew quarters. Living spaces are well appointed for full-time living aboard with all appliances, entertainment systems, and comforts of home. The galley is most often nicer than one would expect in a luxury townhouse.

These boats can cruise exotic places with little or no outside support, so are equipped with dive compressors and all the water toys and other equipment to explore reefs, uninhabited islands, as well as enjoy the most luxurious European marinas in the Mediterranean. Wreck diving in Truk Lagoon, watching glaciers in Alaska and Greenland, and following in Shackleton’s footsteps are all within the mission statement of the expedition yacht. 

Some of the larger yachts in this category carry multiple tenders and the largest expedition yachts may also carry large express boats and even a helicopter for scouting ahead for anchorages or crew transfer. 

For adventure that is hard to replicate elsewhere on this planet, while providing the ultimate in luxury living, expedition yachts represent the highest level of comfort, capability, and self-sufficiency.

Expedition Yachts For Sale

Expedition yachts would be a great solution for explorers and travelers taking on long and extensive voyages. Such yachts are equipped with all the living essentials. Inside you will find several cabins (bedrooms), a kitchen, storage, full size pilot cabin. Of course, there is plenty of room above the deck, where additional cabins can be located along with the entrance to under-the-deck living quarters.

Expedition yachts are usually equipped with high performance powerful motors, have an enlarged fuel tank and additional fuel storage space. Such yachts can easily accommodate a couple of crew members as well as a full crew of explorers and voyagers. These yachts are intended for really long cruises and expeditions across the seas and oceans.

Along with the high level of comfort, expedition yachts are capable of cruising at high speeds as well. Sails are very common on these yachts for the purpose of fuel economy.

Owning an expedition yacht means owning a fully functional motor vessel that can take you anywhere. When choosing which expedition yacht to buy, things like comfort shouldn’t be your only concern. It is also very important to look into the technical side of the potential yacht. And by no means should you be looking to save any money in the process!
