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".
