175-Foot Fast Crew Vessel — Fast Explorer Yacht Conversion
175 ft (≈ 53 m) · Fast Crew / Supply Vessel · 20+ kn · Grant Maughan Design
A long, lean fast-crew hull — the length for owner and guest volume, the shape for speed, and a huge aft deck for everything else.
Cover ground others cannot — outrun weather, hop between cruising grounds in a day, and still cross oceans on a comfortable passage.
A long teak aft deck with a HydraLift crane — tenders, a dive boat, a sportfisher and toys, launched and recovered with ease.
A fully-drawn fast-explorer conversion by Grant Maughan — owner decks, beach club and a clean, purposeful profile.
A fast, long-legged crew hull re-imagined as an explorer yacht — speed, deck space and range in a strikingly clean package.
Standard capability is built into the hull today; optional systems are engineered in during conversion.
Grant Maughan's conversion re-imagines the fast crew hull as a clean, fast explorer yacht — owner and guest decks forward, a vast teak toy deck aft, and a beach club at the transom, all at 20+ knots.
The hull, machinery and speed are proven. The conversion re-imagines everything above them for owner-standard fast cruising. In outline, the scope includes:
Grant Maughan's fast-explorer conversion study — profile, the long teak toy deck with tenders and crane, and the beach-club transom.
Conversion renderings — Grant Maughan Design. Indicative concept; final arrangement to owner specification.
