Vanguard is a design from Artnautica Naval architects. She is capable, brutally rugged, well-equipped motor yacht for short-handed operation. Long range, low draft, stable, with fully redundant commercial equipment specification for exploring places unreachable with standard production yacht designs. Built to CE Class A and UK MCA Category (0), these yachts will capably take you anywhere or that your insurance will cover!
As of 2023, 14 motor yachts designed by the Artnautics brand are sailing or under construction to LRC and XPM specifications. These exploration yachts have been delivered from the Netherlands, Turkey, and New Zealand shipyards.
The LRC range is a passagemaker. Its rugged simplicity, low fuel consumption, extended range allied with commercial specifications, ample redundancy, and low draft allow for exploring those small summer islands and inlets. Sleek and clean internal designs complement the overall usability. LRC designs are built by best-in-class builders in the Netherlands and New Zealand.
Vanguard is the true explorer yacht of the portfolio. Arguably the strongest and most capable build specification of any expedition trawler you can buy on the market today. Massive construction and specification are remarkable, and it is one of the best explorer yacht designs classified to MCA Category (0). These designs can take you anywhere your curiosity or insurance will consider.
After an extensive design process, the XPM-78 motorboat was unveiled in 2016, showcasing its distinctive and innovative features. Two yachts have been delivered, each with different design options.
The XPM-85 extreme range boat emerges as a natural progression of the XPM-78 yacht, offering the owner an array of enhanced layout choices with 3 and 4-cabin options, including crew facilities, making her suitable for chartering.
The LRC-58 yacht is a forward-thinking passagemaker highlighting its distinct design and fuel efficiency. Its unique hull design features a sleek profile, maximizing waterline length while maintaining an efficient interior volume.
The LRC-65 and XPM-65 bridge the gap between the LRC-58 and the XPM-78. Available in two versions, the LRC-65 has the attributes of long-range, economic construction, rugged simplicity, and short-handed operation.
Thinking of having your own explorer yacht built? We'd be happy to help with thoughts from design, what works, what not, contracts through to a choice of yards, inspections and certification..
