About Kingship 45M Grand Explorer

Twelve guests across six cabins is enough to bring two families together aboard the Kingship 45M Grand Explorer, and her full-displacement hull is built for the kind of unhurried, long-range cruising a group trip calls for rather than a fast weekend hop.

Build and provenance

Kingship is building her in China for delivery in 2027, a steel hull under an aluminium superstructure, drawn to explorer lines rather than dressed as one. Axis Group Yacht Design shaped the exterior and Barracuda Design finished the interiors, with Registro Italiano Navale classification covering the build.

Layout and accommodation

Six staterooms sleep 12 guests, including a full-beam Owner's Stateroom on the main deck, and nine crew keep the boat running across her four decks, room enough that a family trip does not mean everyone is on top of each other.

Performance and engineering

Twin Caterpillar engines rated at 1,350 hp apiece give the Kingship 45M Grand Explorer a 13.5-knot cruise and a 16.5-knot top speed. At 499 gross tonnes on a 44-metre hull, her full-displacement form favours range and comfort over sprint speed, and a 3,500-nautical-mile reach at cruising speed is built for distance rather than a short hop.

Where she lies and how to see her

Kingship is building the Kingship 45M Grand Explorer in China, with delivery due in 2027. Boatcrowd will show a buyer round the build and stay involved to handover; once an offer on her is accepted, survey and sea trial follow before she changes hands.

Buying Costs

Survey
A buyer normally commissions a condition survey, and a sea trial, once an offer is accepted and before the sale becomes unconditional. The cost depends on her size and on where she is lifted, and it is the buyer who appoints the surveyor.
Registration and flag
She will be registered on a flag of the buyer's choosing, which carries its own fees and its own survey and crew requirements. Where the yacht is owned through a company, the shares rather than the vessel may change hands, which changes what is payable.
VAT and import
Whether VAT is due, and where, depends on the yacht's current status, her flag, the buyer's residency and where she is delivered. Where the seller has stated her VAT status, it is shown with the asking price on her page, and it is confirmed in writing before an offer is made.
Running costs
Crew, berthing, insurance, class and annual maintenance continue from the day she is yours. A yacht that is also chartered earns against them, and we will set out what her season has actually returned before you commit.

Estimated running costs for a yacht of her size are set out on the size page: What a yacht of 40 to 50 m costs to run.
