EXPV

Described as 'radical but logical' by the design duo, the 87m superyacht concept EXPV takes a fresh, yet unconventional approach away from the usual conforms of explorer yacht design.

Developed for superyacht owners wanting to explore the world in privacy, luxury and the utmost comfort, 87m EXPV presents an array of unique additions and innovative features not often seen on large yachts or explorer vessels. 

A notable example of this onboard EXPV is the distinctive ‘split’ superstructure in the owner’s private space forward, and the guest area aft, completely separating the guest and owner quarters to offer the greatest level of privacy. The team revealed that inspiration for the guest accommodation came from the layout seen onboard cruise ships, whereby the most wanted suites are facing outwards. On EXPV, there are six guest suites arranged around the stern on two deck levels, all with private terraces and beds facing out to sea: a completely new layout solution never seen before on a superyacht. 

Similarly to the private nature of the accommodation, the two deckhouses feature separate staircases and elevators, but are also connected by an incredible floating Glass Bridge and an ‘Ocean Lounge’. 

The unique ‘Ocean Lounge’ of EXPV is essentially a grand beach club. Located on the lower deck amidships, with folding, hydraulic platforms on both sides, the lounge boasts a luxurious indoor swimming pool, a large skylight, and sliding glass doors. 

The glass doesn't stop there. Guests onboard EXPV can see straight through from the stern of the yacht all the way to the bow: a remarkable yet stunning addition to the 87m’s design, showcasing its unreserved adornment in glass.

Other features onboard EXPV include an owner’s office, located behind the wheelhouse, with a private full-beam master suite on the deck below; an owner’s observation lounge with full-height windows and a private terrace overlooking the foredeck; as well as a heli-deck above the observation lounge with direct access to the owner’s apartment. 

Another unmissable feature of the new concept is the substantial mast on top of the aft deckhouse. A ‘crow’s nest’, explained to be a two-person pod, has been integrated into the structure, allowing guests to travel to the masthead for incredible views high above the deck.

As a nod to the explorer nature of the concept, large tenders, of 13.5m, are stowed on the open deck above the Ocean Lounge and under the Glass Bridge with no height restrictions.
