TWW Yachts has sold Damen Yachting’s second Xplorer 60 within a year of selling the first.
Damen Yachting has announced the sale of the second Xplorer 60, which is scheduled for delivery in 2028 and marks the company’s third sale in a year with TWW Yachts. Featuring naval architecture by Damen Yachting, exteriors by Azure and interiors by H2 Yacht Design, the 197ft Xplorer 60 has 1,160GT of interior volume and includes accommodation for 12 guests and 16 crew plus captain.
Last year, TWW Yachts also sold the first Xplorer 60 (After You) and a Yacht Support 53 (Emotional), which were both built at Damen Yachting’s shipyard in Antalya, Turkey, and delivered simultaneously to the same owner in the summer. Both yachts were exhibited at last September’s Monaco Yacht Show by Damen Yachting and TWW Yachts.
The second Xplorer 60 has been sold to an owner with a strong ambition to explore beyond conventional cruising grounds. The yacht will support a programme that brings together private adventure and the opportunity to facilitate scientific research in some of the world’s most remote regions.
“This is the second consecutive Xplorer acquisition on which we have represented the owner with Damen Yachting, reflecting both the strength of the design and the growing appeal of the range,” stated Alex Heyes of TWW Yachts.
“The owner brought a clear vision for how the yacht should support his fleet and future programme. Working closely with the owner, his representatives and Damen Yachting, we were able to align the yacht with that intended use.”
As well as the Xplorer 60, Damen Yachting’s fleet of Xplorer yachts also includes the Custom Xplorer 62 Anawa, Xplorer 77 La Datcha and the Xplorer 58 Pink Shadow, with all models designed for owners seeking the capability to go further, stay longer and explore more remote regions.
Jorrit Pilaar, Damen Yachting’s Commercial Executive EMEA, added: “This recent sale is a strong endorsement of the Xplorer 60 design and of the momentum we are seeing across the Xplorer range. Owners are increasingly looking for yachts that can take them further and support a more varied programme. For this owner, the Xplorer 60 proved to be the right platform.”
