Italian shipyard Rossinavi, in collaboration with designer Ken Freivokh, has unveiled the design for the 48-metre expedition yacht Argo. The yacht in Fast displacement type hull will be built completely in aluminium. She will have an interior volume of less than 500 BRT.
Two custom built cranes are provided on board the Explorer, which can carry up to four tenders or a submarine or any type of amphibious landing craft on her generous stern deck.
Explorer’s layout provides guest staterooms for 12 people. The owner has an entire deck with a full-beam master suite, terrace and study area, as well as a double cabin that can be used as a VIP suite, master suite or nanny suite.
Crew and guest paths cross as little as possible; thus there is a separate staircase for the crew that connects the storerooms to the bridge deck.
A pair of Rollce-Royce engines with rudderpropellers provide good maneuverability, while gyroscopic stabilizers ensure smooth sailing. Argo has a maximum cruising range of 5,000 miles.
