ISY 115 Explora

Twelve knots is a deliberate choice on the Isy 115 Explora, not a limitation: Inace Yachts is building her as a steel-hulled explorer rather than a fast flybridge cruiser, due for delivery in 2027. At 35 metres and 350 gross tonnes, she is built for distance rather than a quick run between anchorages.

Build and provenance

Her hull is steel and her superstructure aluminium, a combination chosen for strength at the waterline with less weight carried higher up. Inace Yachts, based in Brazil, has her under construction now for delivery in 2027, which means a buyer is commissioning a newbuild rather than inheriting a previous owner's choices.

Layout and accommodation

Ten guests sleep across five cabins, with six crew aboard to look after them, a crew large enough to run watches on a longer passage rather than just serve at anchor. On an explorer built for time away from port, that spare capacity is what keeps a long trip comfortable.

Performance and engineering

She cruises and tops out at 12 knots, a fixed, modest pace that says everything about her purpose: this is a boat built to cover distance efficiently rather than arrive quickly, with a steel hull suited to open water rather than sheltered coastal runs. A buyer choosing her is choosing range and sea-keeping over speed.

Where she lies and how to see her

The Isy 115 Explora is under construction in Brazil, with delivery due in 2027. Boatcrowd arranges viewings at the yard and attends them, and once an offer on a newbuild like this is accepted, the survey and sea trial that follow happen against the build schedule rather than a boat already in the water.
