If I were the designer I would extend the roof line back to a meter beyond the rear of the cockpit and extend it forward a couple of feet. This would allow more area for solar panels for a hybrid drive. The aft extension would provide a lifting point for the tender. A couple of fold down sugar scoops aft would help with loading from the tender. A couple of forward opening windows would really help with ventilation.
On their website they mention a lifting platform
I would have wanted solar panels on the top so that I could use the hotel load at night and not run the generator at night. Also for silent cruising when necessary
Range and seaworthiness are the two most important things to me and this boat seems to have them covered in spades. She also looks comfortable and I know a million pounds is not to be sneezed at but in today's world, that is an amazing price for what you get.
Black handrails will be awesome after baking in the sun all day....
myself, aft deck needs hard top extending/bimini, the bow needs hand rails across from starboard to port. and handrails need more height.
I agree with another commenter about extending the hardtop fore and aft by a few feet to give room for solar panels. I'd be willing to give up a bit of speed (if needed) for a hybrid system similar to what Silent builds. Not too sure about how much of a battery bank it could hold though and still have a decent amount of storage space for consumables. edit: I see on their website that it IS available as a hybrid or electric as well. What I didn't see were numbers for either beam or air-draft. I also like the idea of fold down sugar scoops/swim platforms.
This is the most impressive power cat I've seen!
🙌
Wow!
Beautiful boat.
Love the long range. The distance between San Diego, California, and Honolulu, Hawaii, is approximately 2,523 nautical miles. Can you get a fly bridge?
They show a rendering of her in high latitudes. Catamarans aren't really suited for them but they're great in low latitudes. The reason is the amount of surface area exposed to the weather. They are very difficult to heat simply because of their surface area radiating it away. Also there have been a lot of catamarans recently wrenching themselves apart due to leveraged stress between the Hulls. I would love to "explore" the Bahamas or Tahiti in one but Alaska? Not so much.
Not sure what I think 🤔
I like the range, the looks etc.
But the interior fit looks like it’s been a backyard build. Looks kinda tight for a 47 foot boat too.
No swim platform 🤯 or sugar scoops.
Looks like a vast amount of wasted space behind those engines. Shaft drives are often under beds etc but it does look like it has a very shallow draft which might limit that.
No davits?
No solar?
I know I sound like a negative Nancy, but I’m just confused.
Price and range are great though
Keep in mind that this is hull #1 and that an owner can opt for quite a bit of customisation etc and most of the points you raised can be addressed between the builder and an owner. Thanks for watching 🙌
No sugar scoops for longer hull line and better water access. Also I would want enough solar to carry the hotel loads, so no fuel used while at anchor and silent nights.
I want one!
I'm a Kiwi, don't know about this high and low latitude as I know of 2 cats that have done more than one trip to Antarctica and round world excursions with absolutely no dramas.
As for bang for your buck the price is bloody good.
I agree with another commenter, range and sea worthiness are extremely important. The fact she is made of aluminum means to me if I desire a thicker hull plating it can be easily done, with a recyclable material. No fly bridge is great, I live in a northern climate, and honestly have no use for one. Beautiful considering she is 47 feet… and the price makes it worth a serious look. Happy boating…
Great boat love the design, I would like to see a fly bridge as it would give so much more living space.
With it she will be not so "clear" and beautiful
@@dimav975 With it she will be so much more practical. They are actually going to start to put the fly bridge on the Archipelago 47 as customers want it. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Aside from your informative content, I commend your steady hands. Thank you so much. Your work is exceptional
Thanks for the feedback 🙌 glad you enjoyed the video 🫡
That is an amazing little off shore yauct. I live it. Great work in making this video. Well done sir. God bless
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching!
@@YachtBuoy Thanks man, and you're welcome
Looks awesome. Fridge/freezer space, dishwasher, laundry and is that TV movable? Also, what is the draft on that? How would it handle rough conditions at sea in say 3 meter or more waves? Obviously those are some heavy seas and would not be pleasant to cruise in, but anyone who has ever been out to sea knows..sometimes things just pop up.
Fabulous boat. Thanks for the tour!
Thanks for watching 🙌 glad you liked the boat 👍
Here's what I think, I want one!
🙌
This is a fantastic opportunity to own an exploration yacht at a relatively low cost price of around a £1million range and 3000 miles of travel between filling up! One to definitely look out for in the near future, a great tour John.
Glad you enjoyed it 🙌 thanks for watching 👍
Fantastic yacht! A few observations that I'm sure can be remedied easily. First of all, it needs solar! That roof is ideal for a large system. Secondly, it needs a BBQ station somewhere on the back. It also needs a washer/dryer combination if you're going on an excursion. The shower needs a door. Other than that, I think it's a winner. No doubt it can be customized to fit any owner's desires.
When I think explorer yacht I think toys.i don't know where your supposed to store your tender. Personally I want a PWC. While a low air draft is nice those nav lights are really low and aren't going to be visible from any distance in rough seas.
7000 thousand miles is fantastic range better than most trawlers lol 😆
🙌🫡
This one is an absolute beauty. And there aren't many recreational power cats with this kind of range. Reasonable people can disagree, but I don't think
any yacht with less than 4000 nm range could legitimately be called an explorer. 7000 nm puts a boat in the global explorer range, that can truly take
one anywhere! And I'm generally partial to cats; you get the benefits of inherent stability along with loads more space to play with. I was expecting
the price to be a LOT more than $1.25 million. 😉
The first few hulls are being offered at a special price - once the first couple of boats have been sold the price will undoubtedly go up
@@YachtBuoy Thanks for the info; I'm
not surprised at that.
I love the size I'd live on board.
EPIC!!
🙌
Some comments:
- there’s a door at the port side of the cockpit: what is behind it?
- there’s a lack of sea interaction and I don’t see where the dinghy will be stored: a high low platform would be welcomed
- the salon internal distribution could be improved, maybe using the area occupied by the forward facing siting besides the captain chair. A high low table for dining would be useful, as a large fridge/freezer combo, essential to any long range explorer
- I’d prefer to have the cockpit fully covered and “encloseable”
I understand that the project is not completely finished, but I don’t see a family of 4 spending a full month on board as it is.
Other than that it seems that the overall quality is superb.
Wonderful 😊
If I was to make an explorer yacht,I would make sure I had all the redundancies in store, and being a global explorer, incinerator toilets,regen engines,and solar, would be one of the first requirements, plus an overly strengthened hull.
I am totally looking forward to your charter upon her maiden voyage! Only a few things I'd request for personal choices ie a steel hull, traditional porthole windows, a curved aft, cruise liner paint job for the British look, but other than that the ideas from just looking at this perfect bachelor pad explorer is just amazing! Stunning vessel and awesome video as always 🙂
Thanks 🙌 glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for the comment 🙌
alot of boat for the money! not sure where i would put a tender thou ☝
I thought I wanted a cat but since I’ve seen a video of a guy that got creamed by a 20/30 ft wave out of nowhere at 3am in the middle of a ocean it broke the main deck he jumped in the ocean during that storm and used lines to hold the hauls together till the coast guard could pick them up the next afternoon. So needless to say I’ve changed my mind about a cat for crossing oceans
Do you have the link for the video?
@@YachtBuoy no I will look and see if I can remember where I saw it
That was not good CAT! it was patched together
Any luck finding that video link?
Thanks
Too bad the salon doesn't open all the way up to the deck with sliding doors.
Wow 👌 perfect
She is a beautiful boat - amazing value for money too 🙌 thanks for watching 👍
I'm not kidding. This Yacht is so sold.
She's a very cool boat, John!! I love her lines, Stem to Stern there are no bad angles to her. I can see some serious fishing off the cockpit, might be an idea to have a couple of folding fishing chairs somewhere close to hand. Is there a lazarette in line with the engine compartment? Also, how is she fitted for fridge and freezer space for long travels, and I have to say I Love that she has a proper range for an explorer catamaran!! My apologies for being gone the past few days, I was out setting up our Wall tent, scouting for Moose and Elk and setting up tree stands and trail cameras for this years archery season and later for rifles. I see you've been a busy lad, which is great it gives me something to watch this weekend. Cheers, my friend!! - Dave
7000nm at 7knots for this 14.5m Exploration Catamaran .....that's impressive
.....imagine if this yacht also decked with Sail & equipped with Seabob to submerged & motor trail to explore the remote land
*that should have been 3,000 NM not 7,000 NM.
@@YachtBuoy you said 7000nm at 11:54
That's what I mean - I should of said 3,000 NM not 7,000 NM. Sorry for the confusion.
@@stradivarioushardhiantz5179 Yeah, and he just corrected it to 3000nm......mistakes happen, get over it!!!
Wow very good nice. I'm a big fan of you＋👍🔔
Thanks 🙌 I appreciate the support 👍
What's with the Captain's seat? solar panels? Yes I see a very well lite cabin but what about night time ? A bit too bright for the bridge to operate. Overall a tight looking boat. Maybe raise the bridge a couple of steps up with shades around it down low to block the cabin light and give you windows all around when standing at the helm. Nice lines.
Lekker man lekker 🇿🇦
🙌
knot a boat for me, more negatives than positives,
Doesn’t really feel like an explorer yacht, the helm station doesn’t look like there is much redundancy (only one MFD?), low guard rails, no solar, no tender location. Would of course like on own it, but is it CE cat A, I’d rather cross oceans in a Bering 65!
grésñkiñ68 hybesd shot down bjàter
Any idea how much fuel she'll hold for that 3000 NM range?
No specs info on their website and googling didn't help :(
Definitely send them an email - they will get back to pretty quickly
I would add solar panels on roof
Hmmm No sugar scoops
Settings > Speed > 1.25, you're welcome...
Lots and lots to like. Nice and low due to no flybridge, trampolines, great helm, bla k rails, great engine capability, yummy....
tender ? lift ? etc !?!?!
Can she be Hybrid Electric Diesel explorer yachts, with 2 or upto 4 mini vertical axis wind 1 kilowatt turbines and solar electric 8 to 12 kilowatts panels too?
Recharging onboard battery energy 20 to 30 Kilowatts packs, which provide both onboard electric powered, plus electric powered to a pair of electric motors, which drive a pair Auxiliary ducted directional propellers.
Which can silently power the yacht at 4 to 6 knots, for upto 6 to 8 hours on one charge?
Or these ducted directional propellers, can actually act as Hydro-Electric turbine generation system too, to recharge the onboard battery energy pack too?
With a pair smaller Volvo Diesel Engine Generator, either driving a pair of shaft ducted propellers.
With a top speed of 18 knots short range of 2,400 nm, or crusing speed of 9 knots and long range 4,800 nm too?
Also will there be larger versions, maybe 67 foot long or 87 foot long explorer yachts, maybe with ice rated hulls too?
Hi, I have spoken to the MD of Archipelago and he said they can build all of this as required. Feel free to send them an email: info@archipelago-yachts.co.uk
OMG this video skipped the review of the starboard hull too!!! What is happening?! WTF are they hiding in the starboard hull!!!
interested!
I’ve got a sea trial video coming soon hopefully!
✊️🤝👍
No dinghy??
The entire roof should be covered in solar.
What happens when it flips over ? I never get answers to that lol
The sort of sea state that would flip this boat over would be the sort of sea state I wouldn’t even go out in an RNLI All-Weather Lifeboat lol
Not so much will happen. Panic, death, sea creature consumption. That's it.
It is self sinking! 😎😇🦄
I don't know if it's because I was an apple developer, so I know how overpriced and restrictive an iPad is, but quite literally seeing a permanently mounted iPad on the helm position feels REALLY cheap.
Why don't any of these Catamaran makers make wider hulls? Makes no sense.
Lagoon do that ( but are very slow boats) but the main reason is " wetted hull surface or drag". The wider you have, the higher the horse power needed to push it through the water which means more fuel needed or less distance you can go with a set amount of fuel. That's why really fast Cats have skinny hulls to slice through the water with min drag. Check out a Gunboat 66' or the Outremer 45 sail boats. They are very fast because the hulls are not very wide at all.
👏🍻
🙌
Nope
very much do not like this design
Nope. Don’t like it. Sharp edges everywhere. No need for a trampoline on this type of cat. No sturdy platform for the tender, could be a small crane for example to hoist it out. The guard rails all along the hulls should have been welded solid aluminium alloy tube. Having owned an aluminium alloy monohull, I know blisters will show up under the paint. Does not matter how well it’s done. Aluminium boats should not be painted. Access to engines should be from inside the boat if it’s an expedition class yacht. View from console is really bad. The whole helmsstation is really badly designed tbh. This designer seem pretty clue less on the real conditions out there.
