This New 213-Foot Explorer Yacht Concept Can Be Configured for Work or Play
This new superyacht is something of a triple threat.
Canada-based ER Yacht Design just unveiled its latest concept vessel, a 213-foot explorer that’s mean to whisk you away on remote adventures, scientific research expeditions, and extended voyages around the globe. As such, the concept, which still retains all the hallmarks of a luxuryLuxuryA lifestyle defined by exceptional quality, craftsmanship, exclusivity, and sophistication, encompassing the finest products, services, and experiences that represent the highest standards of refinement and excellence.Go to Luxury Glossary yacht, aims to offer beyond what a traditional explorer can—and its Super-Expedition moniker certainly matches that ethos.
To help cater to its future owners’ whims, the 213-footer is designed with a removable modular system, which means the superyacht can be tailored to the adventure at hand. Pre-made units, whether it be additional guest cabins, scientific labs, storage, or other specialized modules can be added or removed via the vessel’s onboard crane; from there, the parts are simply locked into place onboard with predetermined foundations, with plug-ins for electricity and plumbing built right in. So whether you’re hoping for a trip based on watersports, exploration, or helicopter adventures, Super-Expedition aims to have options abound for all your needs in seamless, adaptable system.
Take the aft deck, for example. The concept offers just over 4,000 square feet of open space there (unusual for a yacht of this size, according to ER Yacht Design), which can be outfitted with a 33-by-26-foot infinity pool that converts into a helipad, tenders spanning up to 50 feet, and a submarine. Plus, the deck can also be home to more toys, expedition vessels, and some of those removable accommodation units. In terms of permanent deck cabins, though, the vessel has space for 10 guests across four rooms, including one VIP option, all housed with its sleek, elongated profile.
ER Yacht Design is no stranger to making striking yachts for the seas. Earlier this year, the company unveiled Logos, a vessel that’s meant to appear as though it’s moving even when it’s at anchor. That effect is achieved via its sculpted superstructure, which is done up in aerodynamic lines and shapes for that constantly in-motion look. Onboard, meanwhile, the yacht offers up a large beach club with a massive pool, a wide swim platform, and fold-down bulwarks—a space you won’t want to move from in the slightest.
