Large, well designed and laid out engine room and massive lazarette area aft. Excellent condition and very capable/proven explorer yacht
INTERIOR WALKTHROUGH:
ZEXPLORER is a high volume 133’/40.5m vessel that has had a complete interior refit in 2022. Boarding on the starboard side, the initial impression is that of pedigree and impeccable maintenance. All deck areas are covered in 15mm Bolidt composite decking with teak coloured substrate and white caulking that was installed in 2022 and looks and feels like teak while being much easier to maintain. The Awlgrip “Donegal Green” topsides and “Signal White” superstructure are striking and refined as well being in superb condition with repeated annual ceramic coatings.
The interior décor was completely redesigned in 2020-2022 by Christina Norris and the result is an invitingly comfortable quality interior ambiance. On the main and lower decks, the décor employs rich mahogany wood panels and furniture with white headliners and light coloured rich wool carpeting over black oak floors. The large tempered storm proof windows flood light into the saloon, dining area and lower accommodations. All overhead lighting is LED. All electronics and AV controlled by a central Crestron system. Noise levels throughout the yacht under way are extremely quiet resulting for vibration and sound dampening efforts by Soundown.
On the lower deck accommodations, the wall treatments are light grey silk fabric and mahogany cabinetry with beautiful custom marble heads individually unique to each stateroom. Each stateroom has large portlights allowing plenty of light in and views out. The interior has at least 7 foot / 2.1m headroom throughout the yacht. All stairs are wide and designed with an easy rise and run ratio for easy access throughout the yacht.
AFT DECK:
The aft deck area was redesigned in 2022 to include a large teak dining table and “U” shaped seating area for 12 guests. There are built in floating, teak topped, cupboards to either side of the main saloon doors for dinner service forward. Glass wing doors on either side for weather protection. On port side there are wide steps down to the expansive swim/ stern platform. This area is 25 x 11 feet overall and an excellent launching area for dive expeditions and /or toy deployment. A central hydraulic deployable swim step allows easy access into and out of the water. A watertight door accesses the large stern garage/ lazarette area which was extended during the refit and contains the sea bobs, bicycles, SCUBA bottle and dive gear. 1 of 2 engine room access points is through the lazarette.
MAIN SALOON:
Large outward opening saloon doors latch open creating a 57” opening into the bright and comfortable main saloon. An inviting ambiance created by twin large fabric white “L” shaped couches on either side with maple/oak coffee tables and mahogany side furnishings. Large Samsung TV mounted aft swivels out for viewing. Superb views out through large side and aft windows.
DINING AREA:
Forward of the dining area separated by wait high mahogany credenzas is a large marble dining table with 12 leather chairs. Mahogany serving credenzas on either side store all service items or allow countertop buffet service. Service access to the Galley area on port side and guest access through large mahogany panel door on starboard.
GALLEY:
A large commercial quality galley is divided into the chef’s area amidships and service area separated by an island countertop. A Subzero refrigerator and Freezer with 2 additional drawers each. Additional Fridge/Freezer capacity on the lower deck. Ideal design layout for crew access to side deck door through to crew mess and crew accommodations.

A Central king size bed with mahogany wood base with drawers, Leather headrest, 2 mahogany bedside tables. Large desk with ample drawers to starboard and 2-person fabric couch on port side facing large format Samsung TV.

Outboard of the bathroom are 2 cedars lined walkin wardrobes on either side with ample hanging and drawer space.
The four (4) guest staterooms:

The port side forward stateroom can be converted to a queen berth while the starboard forward stateroom has a third pullman type additional berth. Each stateroom has a large closet and ample drawers all finished in rich mahogany as well as individually designed marble heads with large showers. The central guest stateroom lobby door forward allows crew service access to the guest staterooms.
CREW ACCOMODATIONS:
From the lower accommodation deck forward, a central passageway accesses a large “pantry” storage room through a watertight door. Built-in stainless cold storage fridge and freeze boxes, 3 compressor units, 1 Glass hopper bottle crusher and 4 large pantry storage lockers. Kaleidoscope AV servers and Crestron system is stored with Cisco connections.

A new Boning system to monitor all ships functions has been installed here with monitors in various essential positions through the yacht. All systems, monitors and controls are new from the 2022 refit. The visibility from the wheelhouse is exceptional through reverse countered pilothouse windows. Wing stations controls either side are new from 2022 and offer exceptional visibility.

One of the most distinguishing features of the yacht is the massive tender deck capable of carrying 2 x 26’ recent tenders supported by a 12,000 LB central hydraulic Knuckle crane cable of launching tenders on either side. High bulwarks and secure tiedowns for the tenders. There is additional space for Personal watercraft etc. A forward bosun’s locker door accesses a very deep foredeck storage area. The yacht is equipped with properly sized and maintained anchoring gear and the entire forward area of the yacht is freshly painted and in superb condition. There is a full canvas tent that covers the entire foredeck from the pilothouse to the forward master making the foredeck a vast entertainment area, with tenders removed.
BROKER’S Comments:
ZeXPLORER is a uniquely US designed and built explorer yacht that is very well maintained and updated. During recent inspection after arrival on delivery into Ft.

She has successfully completed 28,000 NM since the completion of the mechanical refit to her drive systems completed in 2022. During a brief sea trial experience offshore Ft. Lauderdale inlet on September 8th, we measured the following Decibel levels running in a seaway at 1250 RPM doing roughly 10 knots:

Captains 2020-2022 Refit Discussion & Description
Boksa Marine Design was engaged to design all the changes required to the hull, drive line and machinery foundations, as well as conducting the stability work with ABS. Derecktor Shipyard was chosen as the primary yard and all work was performed under their supervision. Extensive electrical modifications were handled by Firefly Engineering. All metal modifications were done by American Marine Repair.
The crew were present for the entire refit. The captain monitored all work and compliance, the Chief Engineer monitored and tested all works and systems alongside the contractors and ABS surveyors while the Chief Mate maintained the day-to-day improvements with the rest of the crew. Boksa Marine visited weekly to monitor and survey all works and would provide us with written updates and make hands on changes as required.
As with all refits many items were suggested for improvements, these were brought to the attention of the owner who went above and beyond all expectations and approved most items to make the boat correct and ready for the planned round world expiation. Now after 28,000 trouble free miles at Sea, ZeXplorer and its refit can be declared a success in all aspects.
