DAMEN YACHTING STRENGTHENS XPLORER FLEET WITH SALE OF XPLORER 60
Damen Yachting is pleased to announce the sale of a new Xplorer 60 with delivery scheduled for 2028. The latest addition to the award-winning Xplorer range reflects the growing demand for explorer yachts designed to travel further, remain at sea for longer and unlock access to some of the world’s most remote destinations.
Following the delivery of the Xplorer 60 AFTER YOU in August 2025, this new project further strengthens Damen Yachting’s expanding portfolio of explorer yachts. Alongside the Custom Xplorer 62 ANAWA, the Xplorer 77 LA DATCHA and the Xplorer 58 PINK SHADOW, the sale highlights the continued evolution of the Xplorer range and its appeal to a new generation of Owners seeking purpose-driven exploration.
Commissioned by an Owner with a clear ambition to venture beyond traditional cruising grounds, the new Xplorer 60 has been conceived to support both private expeditions and scientific research in some of the planet’s most remote environments. The yacht will serve as a versatile platform capable of combining long-range adventure with meaningful exploration.
The Owner was represented throughout the transaction by TWW Yachts. Alex Heyes of TWW Yachts commented: “This is the second consecutive Xplorer acquisition on which we have represented the Owner with Damen Yachting, reflecting both the strength of the design and the growing appeal of the range. The Owner brought a clear vision for how the yacht should support his fleet and future programme. Working closely with the Owner, his representatives and Damen Yachting, we were able to align the yacht with that intended use.”
For Damen Yachting, the sale further reinforces the Xplorer series as a benchmark for Owners seeking greater capability and versatility from their yachts. Jorrit Pilaar, Commercial Executive EMEA at Damen Yachting, said: “This sale is a strong endorsement of the Xplorer 60 design and of the momentum we are seeing across the Xplorer range. Owners are increasingly looking for yachts that can take them further and support a more varied programme. For this Owner, the Xplorer 60 proved to be the right platform.”
