Ice Explorer 40M

A shallow draught and a purposeful profile put design at the centre of this yacht's brief. Cantieri Navali di Termoli is building Ice Explorer 40M for delivery in 2029, a 40-metre explorer conceived by Seri Design for owners who want distance without giving up comfort.

Build and provenance

Ice Explorer 40M is being built to RINA Ice Class 1D standards under Registro Italiano Navale classification, a monohull motor yacht with a steel hull built for demanding waters. Seri Design drew both her exterior and interior, and at 40 metres and 390 gross tonnes she carries more volume than her length alone would suggest.

Layout and accommodation

Ten guests sleep across five cabins, looked after by a crew of seven. The volume that 390 gross tonnes brings to a 40-metre hull leaves scope to configure social areas and guest spaces more generously than her length alone would imply.

Performance and engineering

Two Baudouin engines rated at 1500 hp apiece give her a cruising speed of 12 knots and a top speed of 14 knots, figures suited to long, steady passages rather than short sprints. Her range runs to 3,000 nautical miles, enough to reach distant cruising grounds without a fuel stop along the way.

Where she lies and how to see her

Cantieri Navali di Termoli is completing her build in Italy, and a yard visit is the way to see her before delivery. Boatcrowd arranges that viewing and is there with you for it; once you accept an offer, we bring in the surveyor and set up the sea trial ahead of handover.
