The Explorer 50 is a strong all aluminum sailboat for expedition, charter, adventure and life aboard built by FUTUNA YACHTS. The pilot house concept brings protection from the sea and the sun for the crew with panoramic views at 360 ° from the watch station and galley. While primarily designed for exploration and far away travels the Explorer made no compromise on sailing performance. The modern and powerful hull from the naval architecture office of Bernard Nivelt allows for high daily mileage on ocean passages.
