About ZeXPLORER
Introducing ZeXPLORER, formerly known as “SAFIRA,” a custom-built explorer yacht that truly goes anywhere while being kind to the planet. This remarkable vessel features an ice-strengthened high-tensile steel hull, complemented by an aluminum superstructure designed by the esteemed Sparkman & Stephens. She meets ABS Ice Class standards, Maltese Cross A-1 Commercial, and MCA LY3, making her a robust choice for adventurous sea-goers.
ZeXPLORER accommodates up to 12 guests in five luxurious staterooms, plus a Captain’s cabin on the main deck and three crew cabins for seven. A fully equipped gym located aft of the bridge ensures guests can maintain their fitness while at sea. Powered by twin CAT C32 Accert main engines and equipped with Quantum Zero Speed stabilizers, she handles long passages with ease, comfort, and safety—perfectly suited for your next adventure.
Not just any yacht, ZeXPLORER is a high-specification expedition vessel. With her ice-class reinforced hull and superb engineering, she boasts impressive green credentials alongside exceptional sea handling capabilities. Her extensive range and communication systems enable her to explore the world without limits.
Refitted to bespoke standards in 2015, ZeXPLORER features a contemporary interior equipped with the latest technology and design focused on guest comfort. Eco-friendly materials like reclaimed oak and forest certified sapele, coupled with soft furnishings and custom furniture, create an inviting atmosphere. Unique stonework in guest bathrooms utilizes remnants from the owner’s prior projects, while her engines can run on 15% biodiesel. The decks, made from Esthec—an eco-friendly alternative to teak—offer better insulation and sustainability.
