Henry Ward Design and BMT Nigel Gee want to test the limits of what is technically feasible with "Time".

And perhaps also the tastes of future owners? In any case, the 66-metre Explorer has an 18-metre-long lodge that is integrated into the yacht's superstructure but can also be detached. This should enable excursions to areas that are not accessible to the Explorer. The British designers have designed an owner's cabin and a guest cabin as well as an open galley with a dining area into the lodge.

If additional provisions need to be flown in, the lodge crew can use a drone, which is also designed to transport owners and guests. Those who stay on board the "mother ship" can use a huge, sheltered pool surrounded by a 190 square metre beach club once the lodge has undocked. Adrenalin junkies will get their money's worth on the mast, where a free-climbing wall has been installed. "Time" will have a pod drive and an engine output of around 3000 kW; the range at a cruising speed of twelve knots is expected to be around 5000 nautical miles.

"Time": The Explorer has a self-sufficient 18-metre lodge. A drone transports guests.
