Superyacht design studio Rodriguez Design has revealed a 63 metre explorer superyacht concept equipped with ample storage for global cruising and a helipad.
Named Yuma, the concept stretches over five decks and is constructed with a steel hull and aluminium superstructure.
Speaking about the concept, designer Josh Rodriguez said: “She is conceived as an all-round explorer yacht with self-sufficient space to traverse the world, without the aid of a shadow yacht or chase boat.”
The design includes a certified helipad for an Airbus ACH-130 or touch-and-go spot for a larger Airbus ACH-145. Forward are two three-metre cranes which can deploy vessels of up to 14 metres in length and other toys such as submersibles.
At Yuma’s stern is an 80sqm beach club with a foldable sea balcony alongside a tender garage and seating area. On the main deck aft a spa pool with a glass bottom illuminates the beach club below. Forwards is the main saloon, accessible via sliding glass doors which create an “open feel” to the concept’s main interior.
Accommodation is for up to 12 guests in five staterooms, comprising of a large owner’s suite with private balconies forward of the main saloon, two full-beam VIP suites and two double staterooms located on the lower deck.
The concept is designed with long-range cruising in mind and has a range of 4,500 nautical miles at 11 knots with power coming from twin MTU diesel engines. She is also armed with a 6.5 metre Castoldi tender and a RIB rescue tender for further exploration.
