Explorer 130
2027
Fully Operational
Commercial-grade backbone, superyacht finish and ocean-crossing stamina define the Ocean King Explorer 130. Built in Chioggia, Italy, on a steel hull with aluminum superstructure, the 10.20 m beam and 3.30 m draft support a full-displacement platform of approximately 728 tons at full load. CE (A) classification complements the brand’s 35+ years of heavy-steel know-how to deliver a safe, quiet and immensely capable blue-water traveler.
Twin CAT C32 ACERT V12 diesels rated at 970 kW (1,320 hp) each drive direct shaft lines with five-blade NiBrAl props via Reintjes WAF 484 gearboxes and Vulkan ProFlex couplings for low vibration. Expect ~14 kn max, 12 kn cruise and a long-leg 10 kn economical speed unlocking ~16,800 nm of range. Massive tankage - ~194,000 L fuel and ~21,000 L freshwater plus segregated grey/black, lube and bilge storage - underwrites seriously remote itineraries.
Owners configure six en-suite staterooms for twelve guests, with panoramic salon and dining spaces bathed in natural light. Five crew cabins for nine support professional service and watch-keeping on long passages. The galley is specified for restaurant-grade output, equally suited to private family life or charter hospitality.
Expansive decks provide shaded lounges, sun terraces and a beach-style swim platform. Storage for up to an 8.5 m tender and adventure gear - from RIBs to paddleboards - turns remote anchorages into playgrounds. Robust cranes, fairleads and working-deck ergonomics reflect the builder’s commercial heritage.
With full-displacement geometry, bow bulb and advanced insulation, the Explorer 130 emphasizes low noise and minimal vibration. Stabilization, thoughtful machinery rafts and acoustic treatments maintain a calm interior at sea and at anchor, preserving luxury-yacht refinement throughout the voyage.
The navigation package integrates autopilot, radar, GPS, AIS, sonar and modern chart plotting, with communications designed for constant connectivity. Security, surveillance and alarm systems are embedded, and the vessel is engineered for orderly crew workflows and watch routines on extended legs.
With delivery targeted approximately 28 months from contract, buyers collaborate on interior mood, layout refinements and finishes. The specification emphasizes maintainability - commercial-grade systems where it counts, luxury surfaces where it delights - to minimize downtime and simplify ownership. Sea trials, class documentation and flag support are handled with the yard’s established processes.
For owners prioritizing self-sufficiency, safety and genuine go-anywhere credentials without compromising comfort, the Ocean King Explorer 130 stands out. It is equally persuasive as a private family platform or as the backbone of a premium expedition charter program.
