The market for this type of yacht has literally exploded in recent years. The younger generation of UHNWIs is obviously bored and looking for new horizons of experience. Who can blame them? We in the BOOTE EXCLUSIV editorial team are also big fans of efficient designs and hull lines that blend perfectly with striking explorer styling.
For this reason, we are presenting three very different explorer formats in this issue. The flagship of the following 188 pages is called "Planet Nine" and is probably one of the most radical yachts we have ever presented. The 73-metre Admiral can cover more than 10,000 nautical miles on one tank of fuel! And always on board: at least one helicopter! The owner loves his powerful flying tenders. The owner of the Outer Reef 880 "Argo" knows best that you don't necessarily need 73 metres for spectacular yachting adventures. He travelled 17,533 nautical miles to Patagonia and circumnavigated Cape Horn with his 27-metre yacht. With the Numarine 32XP "Marla", on the other hand, we present an almost 33-metre-long explorer with a loft interior, which sails for an attractive euro price.
Igor Lobanov has been one of the most sought-after yacht designers in the world since the delivery of the 110 metre long Oceanco flagship "Jubilee". We met the charismatic Russian, who began his career with motor yacht "A", for an in-depth interview.
Have fun with this issue!
