Y.CO is the seller of the Atla Yachts Explorer 150. The 45 metre long project comes from the drawing boards of the Swedish studios Mannerfelt Design, Kramer Marine Engineering (construction) and Koncept (interior). Thanks to the semi-custom principle, the 150 can be built from "green" steel and aluminium within two and a half years at Zwijnenburg Yachting in the Netherlands.
The 499 gross tonne Explorer would come with diesel-electric engines, a maximum speed of twelve knots, a cruising speed of nine knots and a range of 4000 nautical miles. Buyers have the option of propulsion via methanol or fuel cells, and a hybrid option is also possible, with space for solar cells on the roof of the sun deck and for a battery pack in the hull.
The amenities include an XL aft deck with pool and a saloon that visually extends upwards thanks to the centrally positioned, open staircase. Six suites are planned, including the master on the main deck. A seven-metre tender plus two jet skis can be stowed under the pool for excursions. Various crane options can also hoist four-wheel drive vehicles onto the deck.
