EXPLORER expedition, adventure and world travel
The Explorer 54 is a strong all aluminum sailboat for expedition, charter, adventure and life aboard. The pilot house concept brings protection from the sea and the sun for the crew with panoramic views at 360 ° from the watch station and galley.
While primarily designed for exploration and far away travels the Explorer made no compromise on sailing performance. The modern and powerful hull from the naval architecture office of Bernard Nivelt allows for high daily mileage on ocean passages.
The NACA profile swinging center board opens endless possibilities of exploration in poorly chartered waters as well as beaching the boat. The ballast has been placed in a “bustle” below the hull which lends a particularly low center of gravity for a center boarder.
"Stout aluminum construction assembled from CNC panels will make for a very strong boat. While production boats try to be everything to everyone, this boat does not. The Explorer 54 is simply a well-designed offshore sailing yacht.

The global authority in superyachting
Dutch shipyard Leapher Yachts has unveiled a new 49.2-metre explorer yacht model known as the NAVIX50.
The model builds on its predecessor, the NAVIX60, offering a more compact "yet equally capable platform". The shipyard has collaborated with British studio AB Yacht Design on the model, which is characterised by geometric glazing and deck overhangs, a high bow and a sheltered foredeck.
"The NAVIX50 embodies our philosophy of creating vessels that excel in any environment," said Yiannis Andriotis , CEO of Leapher Yachts. "From the Drake Passage to the coast of St. Tropez, this yacht redefines what's possible in the sub-500GT category."
Accommodation is across six cabins, with options for a seventh cabin or an expanded skylounge. The main deck cabin can also be converted into a gym, wellness area, or used as an extension of the owner's cabin.
Leisure highlights include the aft deck, arranged with a 5.5-metre heated pool with a contra-flow system, a sunbathing area and two wet bars. The model is also capable of housing an 8.6-metre and 4.5-metre tender and is designed with a wheelchair-accessible lift.
The NAVIX50 would be equipped with Tier III emission controls, biodegradable antifouling and an optional Ice Class certification. Full specifications are yet to be released but it is projected to reach an impressive range of 5,500 nautical miles at 10 knots.
This follows a construction update on the shipyard's 60.5-metre explorer Horizon . Delivery is scheduled for September 2025 when she plans on making her international debut at the Monaco Yacht Show .

Leapher Yachts have unveiled the luxury 49.2m (161’4″) explorer yacht NAVIX50 , a groundbreaking yacht which blends unparalleled performance, luxurious comfort, and environmental responsibility. The project is the result of a collaboration between Leapher in The Netherlands and the design firm of Aristotelis Betsis – AB Yacht Design & Naval Architecture .
Explorer yacht NAVIX50
Superyacht NAVIX50 is a more compact evolution of NAVIX 60, the shipyard previous design, and is characterised by robust construction, exceptional range and innovative design, providing a superior adventure experience while maintaining luxury and performance.
“The NAVIX50 embodies our philosophy of creating vessels that excel in any environment,” said Yiannis, CEO of Leapher Yachts. “From the Drake Passage to the coast of St. Tropez, this yacht redefines what’s possible in the sub-500GT category. It offers unparalleled versatility and luxury while maintaining an attractive value proposition for seasoned owners.”
Superyacht NAVIX50
The elongated main deck aft gives the yacht the recognisable explorer profile and includes a luxurious heated 5.5m x 2.7 pool with contra-flow system. The water’s edge oasis also boasts folding sides, a sunbathing area and direct access to the sea with two wet bars. On the sun deck there is a jacuzzi forward surrounded by sun pads, sheltered dining amidships and aft sunbeds.
Water’s edge aft deck
Luxury living includes six spacious guest cabins, with options for a seventh cabin or expanded sky lounge. The main deck’s guest cabin space can be customized into a gym, wellness area, or extended master suite. The owner’s stateroom includes a super king-size bed and ample wardrobe space, with an option for aft facing on the upper deck. Fully accessibility throughout with a wheelchair-accessible lift, the design ensures seamless movement throughout, enhancing privacy by minimizing friction between guests and crew.
Interior of NAVIX50
The steel hull with Ice Class certification and aluminium superstructure are accompanied by innovative engineering which ensures efficient and reliable performance with fast docking and ample storage for 8.6-meter and 4.5-meter tenders. Power comes from Tier III compliant engines which deliver a top speed of 14.5 knots and a range of 5,500 nautical miles at 10 knots.
“The NAVIX50 is more than just a yacht; it’s a floating villa designed for those who see the world as their playground,” said Aristotelis Betsis, Owner of AB Yacht Design. “Leapher Yachts has a philosophy on how life at sea should be, making the yacht a central piece of their lives.”
Owner’s suite NAVIX50
The design team’s philosophy was to combine the durability and technology of commercial and military maritime systems with the luxury experienced on a superyacht. The result is a yacht comfortable both exploring extreme environments or anchoring off the coast of St. Tropez. She redefines what is possible in the 500GT explorer yacht market, setting new standards for adventure and elegance.
