Explorer Project Northland

Launched in 2017, 32m/103ft superyacht NORTHLAND (ex.PROJECT 105) was built by Burger Boat Company with interiors and exteriors by Miami-based Luiz de Basto Design. The full displacement steel hull and aluminium superstructure are designed to the owner’s custom requirements, with an emphasis on fishing in remote areas away from marinas designed to service superyachts.

The upper deck is the location of the Master suite, which also has two walk-in wardrobes and an en-suite bathroom. A hallway connects the Master suite to the helm station, where there is a small lounge area to act as a tranquil spot away from the main group. On the main deck aft, there is a large alfresco dining area along the stern, plus two sun loungers and a smaller table for quiet drinks and games. The bow is spacious enough to store up to two tenders, with a crane to lower them into and retrieve them from the water.

A pair of CAT C18 ACRET, 475 BHP engines allow luxury yacht NORTHLAND to reach a cruising speed of 12 knots and a maximum speed of 12.4 knots. At 9.5 knots, she is capable of a range of 4,000 nautical miles. A shallow draft of 2.3m/7ft allows her to enter sheltered anchorages and approach closer to secluded beaches.
