Cheoy Lee Yachts is staging the global debut of its custom-built 130 Explorer superyacht at this year’s Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show (FLIBS), which will be held from October 29-November 2.
Having been delivered to her owner, the 130 Explorer recently returned from extended cruising adventures and will be available for viewing at FLIBS by appointment only. During the show, CL Yachts, Cheoy Lee’s sister brand, will showcase its CLB72 and CLB65 flybridge motoryachts.
Cheoy Lee Yachts and Nick Boksa of Boksa Marine Design will also present more information about Cheoy Lee’s Discovery Series, a line of luxury, long-range, steel-hulled explorer yachts. Boksa and Cheoy Lee Yachts have collaborated to design the range, which includes the Discovery 115, Discovery 120 and Discovery 127.
Like Cheoy Lee, Boksa has drawn on an extensive background in both commercial and leisure marine projects to design the “compact, efficient, go-anywhere explorers” whose “high-volume layouts feature the same level of styling and luxury amenities found on larger explorer yachts”.

Design highlights on the three models include the bridge-deck master suite on the Discovery 115, the spacious beach club on the Discovery 120, and the Discovery 127’s generous sundeck with a bar, grill, spa tub and multiple seating areas.
Cheoy Lee stated that it approaches the engineering and construction of its superyachts in the same way it tackles commercial projects. The design of robust systems with commercial-level equipment ensures inherent reliability, self-sufficiency and issue-free operation, even when cruising far from the beaten track.
B.Y. Lo, Executive Director of Cheoy Lee Shipyards, said: “We are proud to have the opportunity at FLIBS to introduce plans for the Discovery Series. This robust new explorer yacht line and the new Cheoy Lee 130 truly showcase the modern yacht-building capability of our family shipyard.
“Cheoy Lee has been building large yachts capable of long-range voyaging for more than 70 years, combining fine artisanship and luxury amenities with cutting-edge technology and commercial maritime practicality.
“The Discovery series draws on everything we know about building seaworthy global cruisers and hardy, reliable commercial vessels and workboats, and combines it all into an elegant, contemporary oceangoing yacht that delivers luxurious world cruising without compromise on facilities or service.”
