VANGUARD is a 2023 Naval Yachts XPM 78 expedition platform engineered for extended self-sufficient long-range cruising. Built with a focus on efficiency and system redundancy, she has already logged over 9,000 nautical miles since launch, including her most recent transit that took VANGUARD as far north as Greenland.
Propulsion is delivered through a diesel-electric Praxis hybrid system, integrated with energy management software to control fuel consumption and optimize power distribution. At cruising speed, VANGUARD has an impressive fuel burn of 3.5L/ nautical mile that delivers a transoceanic range in excess of 7,000 nautical miles. For station keeping and precision control, she is equipped with a commercial-grade dynamic positioning system. The hull is ice-reinforced and stabilization is provided by a DMS Magnus Master system, enhancing ride quality in offshore conditions.
VANGUARD’s interior layout, designed and outfitted by Arista Marine, follows a functional open-plan design with direct sightlines from helm to aft salon. The main deck includes a galley positioned port aft with U-shaped configuration, featuring dark gloss cabinetry. The salon comprises an L-shaped settee, convertible dining/coffee table, and freestanding seating.
Accommodations support up to eight guests, with six in three en-suite staterooms and an optional convertible salon berth for two additional. The full-beam owner’s stateroom features a centered king berth, integrated settee, and an en-suite with glass-enclosed shower. VIP cabin includes a centerline double with sofa. The third guest stateroom offers fixed twin bunks and sofa seating.
