2008 Custom Explorer Yacht 48M

This 48-metre explorer yacht was built in 2008 from steel by De Donge shipyards. Originally designed as a professional long-range expedition vessel, she combines robust commercial-grade engineering with accommodation for private use. The hull is protected by impressed current cathodic protection.

Twin DEUTZ TBD 616-V16 diesel engines deliver 2,160 horsepower, with a cruising speed of 12 knots and maximum speed of 15 knots. The engines show only 150 running hours. A new 100 kW generator and a new stand-alone hydraulic steering system have been installed.

The yacht accommodates up to 12 guests with 9 crew berths across 11 cabins and 12 heads. Her design allows for multiple roles—private yacht, charter vessel, support boat, or expedition platform—depending on the owner's needs.

A comprehensive refit is scheduled for 2025–2026 to Bureau Veritas standards. The yacht is available for full customization to suit the new owner's intended use.
