Explorer 62 Motor Yacht For Sale
The theme that characterizes the new Explorer 62 is its innovative layout, designed to improve life on board for its guests.
The key feature that strongly identifies it is the choice of the forward driving position, as in an explorer super yacht. The bow is the wettest and windiest place on the moving boat and also most prone to oscillation caused by wave motion.
As a result, having the helm station located in a more forward position makes navigation easier and safer.
This choice allowed us to offer a spacious cockpit, with an area covered by the fly which is furnished with a large dining table and an open area that can be fully customized, with sofas and accessories which can be moved and arranged as desired.
DOUBLE SYSTEMS AND DOUBLE ANCHORS
Bilge and autoclave pumps, double anchor system, two winches and two 50 kg steel anchors. With her double systems, she is the only vessel under 20 meters to have a large-ship anchorage system.
FLY ACCESS
Explorer has a flybridge access ladder in the starboard area. Spacious steps provide a comfortable and safe passage between the main deck and the flybridge, without compromising the view when maneuvering.
VISIBILITY
The main steering station is in a forward position towards the bow, the windscreen is made from a single piece of glass with a 180-degree view, to maximise the helmsman's visibility. Two additional helm stations are located on the flybridge and aft.
LATERAL RESTRAINTS
Gunwales from bow to stern, higher than most yachts, to ensure lateral safety as in a large ship.
STRUCTURAL TANKS
Certified structural fuel and fresh water tanks which are tested to improve hull stability and strength. (2800 Lt fuel, 1000 Lt water)
​
FULL STABILITY SYSTEM
The boat is equipped with a unique stability system, through 24 V electrical operation, consisting of carbon fins and flaps which are governed by a specially designed software. The software is constantly learning and evolving, collecting information and navigation data in order to constantly improve the management during the journey. For maximum stability even when stationary, the American Seakeeper stabilizer can be additionally installed.
DEDICATED APPLICATION
The yacht is equipped with a specific, custom-designed application with comprehensive graphics and explanations, which can easily be installed on handhelds and tablets. Designed and produced by Centrostile design.
BOAT MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE
• Domotics system for boat management with dedicated software.
• Management of all lights divided by bridges
• Management of all bilge pumps
• Management of air conditioning system divided for the 6 fancoils

SAFETY FIRST
For many years I have had the good fortune to sail and test new boat models, organising road shows and events, experiencing the sea not only in summer but all year round and on all continents. By visiting many ports and meeting many shipowners I always gathered information from different markets and different cultures. What emerges is that they all seek the same thing: maximum comfort. Space, functionality, comfort. Boats are like houses, but the environment in which they have to navigate, like brackish water, is aggressive and constantly changing. This made the challenge of building the Explorer Yacht even more exciting.

[@desertr4062]

I too, was wondering where you went. Glad you're back. I bought a Formula 310SS and watched all your Formula reviews, some of them numerous times.

[@captstevetests]

Thank you so much. I really appreciate you.

[@easybigun7825]

Love that you still do this.. keep up the great work

[@captstevetests]

Thank you. And thanks for watching.

[@mikelyon5595]

Life in the sun makes the flybridge a nonstarter. It is a good-looking ship!

[@captstevetests]

Plenty of shade available for this fair skinned Irish boy.

[@loua1765]

Hi Captain Steve!!! This is truly a Good Morning. I missed watching your reviews. So glad you are back doing this. I have learned so much watching you. Thank you and I am looking forward to watching more. Take care Jersey Lou

[@captstevetests]

Thank you so much for the kind words. And thank you for watching. I appreciate you.

[@KMT15]

I can’t stand watching boattest videos anymore. Have been wondering where you’ve been. Glad you’re back and on your own! I have a suggestion; can you do longer videos in addition to the test/ features videos? Those are nice for a quick review but for those who are really potentially interested in boats, it would be nice to see more of a bow to stern showing all drawers, storage, systems, rigging, etc

[@captstevetests]

Sure. I’ll work on that. I’ve got a full features review of the Leopard 40 that’s really detailed. Coming soon.

[@lgriestra]

Great video.

[@captstevetests]

Thank. And thanks for watching.

[@robertlangley1664]

Great too see you back captain Steve best wishes from the UK

[@captstevetests]

Thank you Robert. I appreciate you and thank you for watching.

[@wadeharrison5404]

Interesting boat, luv the seaworthiness and looks, less thrilled with some hardware placement. Thanks for the review!

[@captstevetests]

Thanks for watching. the features review is still in edit and coming soon. Appreciate you being here.

[@johnschieffelin3226]

Interesting boat. Angular, upright looks, dark grey color imparts a slightly military look. Crew quarters look utterly inhumane! Engine space not bad but dinghy space really impedes access to parts of the engines. But overall some positive aspects for sure.

[@captstevetests]

I found the dinghy garage only impedes the heavier maintenance items. The daily heck’s are all within reach. The crew spaces are typically very spartan. So no surprise there. Fact is, this is more of an owner/operator yacht so unlikely that this will be used at all, maybe for the teens.

[@clide427]

I'm glad to have you back. I had to watch Subpar reviews.... try and get on one of the lifeproof boats out of the northeast.... I'm looking to get one and value your opinion

[@captstevetests]

Thanks for the kind words. I appreciate you. I’ll reach out to lifeproof and see if we can work something out.

[@wtpauley]

I FOUND YOU!! Instantly Sub'd

[@captstevetests]

THANK YOU!!!

[@TheOriginalItchyman]

I was hoping you'd do this yacht

[@captstevetests]

Features review coming soon. Thanks for watching.

[@TR-ro2rt]

hi Capt . Love your videos:) are you just doing your own thing now ?

[@captstevetests]

I am. I left Boattest to join another company but the owners heart attack shut that down. So just me now. Thanks for watching. Really appreciate you.

[@TR-ro2rt]

@@captstevetests ahh sorry to hear that. but happy to see you still do test :) followed you for years

[@ashleykerlin]

A good review thank you. But are you going to show the inside?

[@captstevetests]

Absolutely Ashley. That video is currently in edit. Thank you so much for watching.

[@jeffv.1743]

Good to see you're back, sub'd. Now regarding this boat; not sure why it's called an explorer, more like explorer "style". The range is miserable. I would take a similar size Northaven over this any day.

[@captstevetests]

More like a coastal explorer. She’s got the stones to handle crap weather. But you’re right. Certainly not trans-oceanic. Thanks for watching and being a subscriber. Really appreciate you.

[@karatejoe5049]

Hey Steve you need to promote your channel buddy. That split rail at the bow sure likes a bad choice of form over function.

[@captstevetests]

Thanks for the tip. You’re right.
