News: Atla Yachts Reveals Explorer 150

New Brand Emerges With First Yacht Design
​

It has been recently revealed that the subcontracting builder of the hulls and superstructures for superyacht companies like Oceanco and Feadship is now branching out and endeavouring to build its own yachts. We are referring to Zwijnenburg Yachting. They in collaboration with Mannerfelt Design from Sweden are teaming up to form Atla Yachts. The first yacht revealed at the ongoing 2023 edition of the Monaco Yacht Show (MYS) is an Explorer 150 (45.2-meter).

This new vessel will be 499 GT and offer a build time of 2.5 years. It is a forward-thinking yacht design for operations with it envisioned to be run off HVO mainly. It also only requires around 350kW at cruising speeds. The interiors will be Scandinavian inspired thanks to the influence from Mannerfelt Design. The interior will provide haven for up to 12 guests in 6 cabins. Master suite is to be located on the main deck while the other 5 guest cabins are on the lower deck.

Diesel-electric propulsion is expected and with that the vessel is anticipated to have a 4,000 nautical mile range at cruising speeds. Ted Mannerfelt said: "This is a new brand we started because we wanted to show the yachting industry that we are trying to be environmentally friendly. It (the yacht) has got amazing efficiency, it needs 300 Kw driving at 9 knots". The vessel is expected to be listed for sale and be ready to delivery by 2026.
