Doggersbank expands explorer yacht series with 27m and 32m models

Dutch yard Doggersbank has unveiled two additions to its explorer series at the Cannes Yachting Festival: the 90 Offshore, which measures 27.3 metres and the series’ flagship, the 32-metre 105 Offshore. Northrop&Johnson  has been appointed the exclusive European agent for the range.

Exterior design is by Vripack, who revived the brand earlier this year with the 23.5 metre 77 Offshore. The new models are characterised by sharpened fashion plates, larger glazing and an inclined bow for a more muscular design than their predecessors.

Key features of both models include ample outdoor living spaces, an eight-person Jacuzzi on the upper deck and increased storage capacity, including flexible loose storage boxes and space for a tender on the aft deck. Both models accommodate eight guests, while the 105 Offshore has a full-beam owner’s suite and expanded quarters for five crew.

“We saw a need to launch larger models that can better accommodate modern-day technologies and give more usable space to guests and crew,” said Joost Mertens, sales director at Doggersbank.

He continued: “Patrick Coote of Northrop & Johnson, with whom we enjoy a long-term and collaborative relationship, saw a niche in the market for capable, custom and well-designed explorers underpinned by naval architectural expertise, and pushed us to build upon our existing designs and develop a model that serves that need.”

The two yachts also offer hybrid propulsion options and larger battery banks for “silent cruising”.
