ISY 131 Explora

A wide glazing line and a purposeful bow set the tone before a single spec is read. Inace Yachts is building that profile into the ISY 131 Explora, a 40-metre monohull explorer due for delivery in 2027. She is still in build in Brazil, so what a buyer inspects today is a hull taking shape rather than years of use.

Build and provenance

Her hull is steel and her superstructure aluminium, and exterior design comes from Fernando de Almeida: a strong bow, long glazing and a multi-deck arrangement drawn for regular use. She is being built to ABS class, and her decks are teak. At 131 feet, her footprint stays compact while she carries in long-range capability.

Layout and accommodation

Ten guests sleep in five cabins, and a crew of six run the yacht. The owner's cabin sits full beam on the main deck with its own private office, giving the principal suite both space and separation from the guest cabins below. Wide glazing brings light into the main salon, and outside, an open sun deck pool and al fresco dining spread across three decks give the yacht room to live outdoors as well as in.

Performance and engineering

Her displacement hull is built for efficient, steady cruising rather than sprinting, and a commercial and naval construction background underpins the engineering. She carries a dedicated dive-support station for owners who want to dive from the boat. Ten knots is both her cruising speed and her top speed, a single efficient pace suited to an explorer built for long passages rather than a quick run.

Where she lies and how to see her

ISY 131 Explora is being built at her builder's yard in Brazil, with delivery still ahead in 2027. Boatcrowd arranges viewings there as construction progresses and keeps buyers updated on her build. Once a purchase agreement is reached, we coordinate her survey and sea trial at delivery, and see the purchase through to handover.
