EXPLORION Yacht Description
-
Open-air cinema on flybridge:
70-inch projected screen makes easy movie nights under the stars after dinner. -
Seabob seascooter onboard:
Zip around bays and explore underwater with the premium seascooter brand guests ask for. -
Highfield 420 tender with Yamaha 60hp:
Quick, comfortable runs to beach clubs and coves, plus tow sports set-up.
Big space, smaller footprint. EXPLORION is a 54ft Aquila power catamaran built in 2023, and she genuinely feels bigger than her length suggests. She sleeps 8 guests in 4 cabins, so groups can spread out without turning the salon into a dorm.
Easy water time. A lowering platform and swim platform make getting in and out of the sea straightforward. Wet feet, no drama.
Toys that get used. The Highfield 420 tender with a 60hp Yamaha (up to six passengers) keeps hops ashore simple, and the kit list covers the whole mixed-ability crew: Seabob, SUPs, water skis for adults and children, wakeboard, a towable tube for two, snorkeling gear, and a floating mat.
Comfort built in. Full air conditioning and onboard WiFi keep the boat civilised between swims, plus TVs in all cabins and a widescreen TV in the salon for downtime. There’s also an open cinema setup on the flybridge with a 70-inch projected screen when you feel like making it a movie night.

Price Terms
Plus Expenses - add APA to the price you see
Plus Expenses arrangement includes the boat and crew only (without tip).
All additional/variable expenses such as Gas and Food are deducted from an Advance Provisioning Allowance (APA) - an additional deposit that is added on top of the charter price.
The expenses, such as provisioning, fuel, marina fees, are deducted from the APA. The APA is based on the price of the yacht and ranges from 15% (crewed sailing yachts) to 30% (motor yachts with higher fuel consumption).
For a power catamaran like EXPLORION, the expected APA is 20% to 35% of the charter price (€4,200 - €7,350), making the charter cost €25,200 to €28,350. Exact amount will be confirmed after inquiry.
You can actively control these expenses in your preference sheet (local vs. imported beverages) and by choice of itinerary (distances traveled).
The remainder of the APA is returned after charter.
