Exterior Features
The stern of the Explorer 62 features a unique tender garage door that swings out and up on pantograph hinges, providing unobstructed access to the garage without overhead obstacles. This clever design accommodates a Williams 345 tender and various water toys. The aft section, referred to as the beach club, offers ample deck space for relaxation, with a focus on unobstructed views and easy access to the water.
Interior Layout
The main deck includes a dining area with a freestanding table designed to maximize views from all seating positions. The adjacent wet bar features a multi-purpose glass sink that can serve as a champagne bucket, a live bait well, or a traditional sink. The saloon area can be fully enclosed with sliding glass doors, offering flexibility between an open or closed space. The interior boasts low-level sofas and a high-low television for entertainment.
Galley and Helm
The forward galley, positioned next to the helm station, promotes a sociable environment. It includes all essential appliances, and the unique centerpiece features pressure stones in the induction hob. The helm station offers full control with two Raymarine displays and an additional touchscreen for ship systems, providing seamless operation of the yacht. The helm's vertical wrap-around windscreen ensures unobstructed visibility.
Accommodations
The lower deck houses the full-beam owner’s cabin, complete with a king-sized bed, extensive storage, and an ensuite bathroom featuring luxurious marble finishes. The VIP cabin forward offers a spacious layout with ample storage and an ensuite bathroom. The twin guest cabin, with thick, comfortable mattresses, also has ensuite access to the day head. An additional small cabin under the stairs provides extra sleeping space, ideal for a child or an additional crew member.
Flybridge and Engineering
The flybridge includes sunbeds, a large seating area, and a wet bar with a hinged cover that doubles as a bar top. The helm station on the flybridge can be folded down to enhance the view.
