A True Explorer Yacht: 35m PROJECT FOX Nears Completion
Nearing the final stages of her construction, Pendennis Shipyard's PROJECT FOX has emerged gleaming from her paint programme and deck fit-out. The 35m yacht represents not only an exciting project for the yard, but for the superyacht industry as a whole, as she is set apart by her excellent exploration features that have not been compromised by her smaller size.
PROJECT FOX is a 35m expedition vessel currently in build at Pendennis Shipyard. She features interior and exterior styling from Q London, naval architecture by Diana Yacht Design, and interior contracting by Mican. Her interiors are inspired by beach-house living, with bright and modern design features, whilst her overall style remains sleek and sophisticated.
In keeping with the current trend of yachts built for exploration as opposed to traditional cruising, PROJECT FOX enables adventure opportunities due to being outfitted to the highest standards. With a 103.5 sqm main deck aft, she is able to carry a huge range of equipment lending themselves to exploration, allowing those on board to make the most out of the sea.
Her Owner commented: ‘PROJECT FOX’s ethos isn’t too dissimilar to other exploration vessels, but her size is. Smaller yachts aren’t expected to carry big tenders and other toys, and she does.’
PROJECT FOX is able to accommodate up to ten guests across five staterooms, of which the forward master cabin features large windows, enabling panoramic views and an abundance of natural light. Her social areas are informal and in lieu of teak, whilst her decks have been laid with the more sustainable Tesumo, showing her design to be forward-thinking in terms of sustainability as well as functionality.
Ian Sherwood, Sales Broker at Burgess, commented: ‘PROJECT FOX will be an enormous success. I honestly believe she will inspire others to build yachts of this size, which have great functionality and can explore our oceans and coastlines.’
PROJECT FOX is due to be launched in 2024, encapsulating the essence of modern exploration vessel design.
"Project Fox will be an enormous success. I honestly believe she will inspire others to build yachts of this size, which have great functionality and can explore our oceans and coastlines."
