The superyacht builder has unveiled designs for the GX38 Voyager, an ice-class aluminium explorer yacht designed by Marco Casali.
GX Superyachts has released designs for the GX38 Voyager, an explorer yacht project. The concept for the 38m hybrid motoryacht was designed at the specific request of a client, and marks the brand’s move towards creating eco-friendly yachts that can also undertake adventurous, long-distance voyages.
Vladimir Zinchenko, founder of GX Superyachts, said: “GX Superyachts is delighted to have unveiled the GX38 Voyager, which is the fruit of months of work with a very motivated client. It extends our unique commitment to responsible yachting into the adventure sector for the first time, with a yacht equally capable of heading to high latitudes or remote areas – all in exceptional comfort.”
The exterior and interiors have been penned by Marco Casali, who has also designed the GX42, which is due for delivery in summer 2026, and the GX34 hybrid yacht.
Casali explained that the designs for the GX38 Voyager began “from the assumption that guests would want to spend extended periods on board to reach remote cruising grounds”. Key features include generous tankage, food storage and lots of space for belongings ranging from clothing to water toys.
The GX38 Voyager will feature an ice-class aluminium hull available with either a ‘traditional’ shape with an 8.2m beam or an ‘ultra-wide’ 9m beam. The hull shape is designed to provide greater interior volume towards the bow and a lengthened aft deck, which features fold-out sides and can carry water toys.
The yacht will be powered by a hybrid propulsion system that reduces carbon emissions by 30 per cent compared to conventual diesel engines, while still being able to achieve a top speed of 16 knots and a globetrotting cruising range of 10,000nm at six knots in hybrid navigation mode.
A flexible interior will offer five or six en-suite cabins, with the owner’s suite and private deck situated on the main deck, while there will also be accommodation for up to seven crew.
Owners will be able to completely customise the interior, with optional features including an eagle’s nest for optimum views, an enclosed sundeck saloon for 360-degree vistas even in extreme weather conditions, a cosy foredeck lounge with a firepit, and a spacious aft deck with room for a jacuzzi and adventure toys such as submersibles and land vehicles.
