EXPLORER YACHT EXO The Power of Pure Purpose
A
rchitect and designer Richard Liebowitz refers to his lifetime of yachting, with several thousand hours of sea time, to inform his design decisions. Understanding the rigours of ocean journeys, and the structures which must withstand them, are the foundation of his draughtsmanship.

The power of pure purpose means rationalising each aspect of the

vessel, from concept to detail. Proportions, function, and attitude: There are no elements “just for show”. From the wave breaking bow chine to the stern anchor, purpose and enduring beauty are merged as one. Per tradition, proper yachts built to last 100 years.

Either way, strength, security and peace-of-mind are integral to this contemporary concept.
The layout is optimised to offer balanced accommodation, comprehensive amenities, and perhaps foremost, an efficient and practical service arrangement. In short, it’s an effective operation that really works, for guests and crew. Contemporary, functional, exuding strong attitude and timeless proportions. Not immediately visible are the circulation paths for guests and crew. Significant planning effort is devoted to refining this facet. Other elements include advanced direct-bond glazing for ease-of-maintenance and avant-garde bearing, state-of-the-art shade devices,
