About Vanguard
A range of 7,000 nautical miles is enough to cross an ocean without stopping for fuel, and that figure sits at the heart of Vanguard's design. Naval Yachts completed her in 2023 as an XPM expedition platform, 24 metres long and built for distance rather than dockside display. She carries an ice-reinforced hull and a diesel-electric powertrain, choices suited to serious open-water passages rather than short coastal hops.
Build and provenance
Vanguard is a Naval Yachts XPM, delivered in 2023 with a displacement monohull built from aluminium. Bureau Veritas classes her, and her design pairs the builder's own exterior with an interior from Arista Marine. The ice-reinforced hull and the classification behind her point to a structure built with commercial-grade margins in mind, a useful trait on a long passage rather than a weekend out.
Layout and accommodation
Six guests sleep across three cabins, looked after by a crew of two who run her hands-on, in keeping with an expedition yacht meant to manage for long stretches without outside support. A full-beam master suite gives the owner the width of the hull. Arista Marine designed the interior as one open run from the helm to the aft salon, with a port-side aft galley in dark gloss cabinetry, an L-shaped settee, a convertible dining table, and a forward helm fitted with twin high-back seats and a wide multi-display dash.
Performance and engineering
Two 160 hp John Deere engines drive a diesel-electric hybrid system that manages power distribution and fuel burn automatically, giving her a 9-knot cruise and an 11-knot top speed. For holding position off an anchorage or a dive site she carries a commercial-grade dynamic positioning system, and a Magnus-effect stabiliser adds ride quality offshore. The brief behind Vanguard favours range and control over outright pace.
On deck and at anchor
On deck, she carries a swimming platform and a crane.

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 24 to 30 m costs to run.
