INACE EXPEDITION YACHT
For buyers seeking a proven long-range explorer with pedigree, presence and genuine custom quality, “Impetus” represents a rare opportunity. A Top 5 International Superyacht Design Award winner, this 28.96 m luxury explorer yacht was custom built in 2005 for an exceptionally knowledgeable owner and is widely regarded as the finest 95′ Inace Explorer built to date. Conceived to a highly demanding specification, she benefits from extensive bespoke detailing across her layout, storage solutions, equipment and onboard systems.
“Impetus” offers the volume, confidence and capability normally associated with a substantially larger yacht, making her an exceptionally compelling proposition in her size range. Her Bray Yacht Design hull and bulb configuration, tank tested for efficiency and sea-kindly performance, have been proven over more than 80,000 nautical miles of cruising. Powered by Caterpillar engines, she delivers a comfortable 10-knot cruising speed and a top speed of 12 knots, giving owners the confidence to explore further in comfort and security.
Her versatile accommodation adds immediate appeal for private owners, welcoming up to 8 owners and guests in 4 staterooms when the sky lounge is configured as a VIP stateroom, supported by dedicated accommodation for 3 crew in 2 crew quarters. The expansive sky lounge significantly enhances her usability, converting effortlessly into a 4th queen VIP stateroom, private office, fitness space or home theatre. Designed by Kirschstein Design, the custom cherry interior creates a warm and sophisticated onboard environment, with arched doors, burled wood inlays and refined exotic horn detailing. The generous flybridge is a standout lifestyle feature, complete with a full-size hot tub, large gas BBQ, wet bar with U-line ice maker, refrigerator, spacious dining area and comfortable forward navigation seating.
Built for reliability, comfort and practical ownership, “Impetus” combines serious world-cruising capability with refined onboard living. Her extensive use of stainless steel, granite and other durable design elements delivers a true yacht-quality finish while helping minimise maintenance demands and non-essential upkeep. Fully equipped for extended cruising, she offers a comprehensive navigation suite, exceptional storage capacity and generous space for tenders and toys, including provision for a Mini Cooper — reinforcing her credentials as a highly capable, distinctive and ready-to-enjoy explorer yacht.
