Could This SuperYacht Take The Title Of Ultimate Long-Range Explorer Yacht?

if you are a big fan of explorer and expedition yachts then i think that i have found a vessel that you are really going to love this true little ship is the ocean king explorer 130. [Music] the ocean king 130 is built by italian yard cantieri navali chiajoa she has a steel full displacement hull as well as a steel superstructure as you can probably tell there aren't many places this explorer will not be able to get to she is built like an ocean going tank she has a length overall of 40.26 meters with a beam of 10.2 meters at half load she has a draft of 3.3 meters and she is just under 500 gross tons and a displacement at full load is 728 tons we will take a look inside her in just a minute but first i want to take a few moments to show you the fantastic lines of this beautiful vessel i've always loved the commercial looking high-end luxury explorer yachts and the 130 certainly ticks all of my nautical boxes make sure you stay tuned because later on in the video we'll take a look at the bridge and engine room of this beautiful vessel in my opinion cnc has produced the sort of ocean-going explorer that will surely appeal to anyone who wants to explore our oceans at any time of the year her high about can take on the sort of conditions that even hardened seafarers would probably try to avoid it must be great to look at reports of bad weather safe in the knowledge that as long as you enjoy the ride then the hull beneath you is up for the challenge i love the symmetry of this super structure when compared to the hull and look at that bridge those huge windows give an unrivaled view of the boats surroundings the fluorescent orange dayglow paint helps the crew and other vessels spot the boat during poor visibility conditions such as when motoring through banks of fog the ocean king 130 is powered by twin caterpillar c32 engines they give this exploris a maximum speed of 14 knots with a cruising speed of 12 knots and if you are happy to drop the speed by 3 knots and motor along at 9 knots then the ocean king 130 has a range of 22 600 nautical miles putting her in the category of ultra long range explorers she has a fuel tank capacity of 194 000 liters with a fresh water tank capacity of 21 000 liters when you look at the hull of the 130 it is hard to imagine any sea conditions that this explorer yacht would not be able to cope with but let us not forget that what we are looking at here is a luxury yacht and the ocean king 130 does not disappoint when it comes to ensuring that her lucky owner and guests can sit back and enjoy those once in a lifetime sites [Music] [Music] safety is also another important feature of this super yacht look at how wide her side decks are and how higher gunnels are note also the handrail that wraps around the superstructure and look at how much thought has gone into one of the most dangerous areas aboard any vessel the focus on the deck we have a non-slip coating with an open and clutter free work area for the crew [Music] when we come to the internal areas of this exploration then as you would expect within an italian shipyard the eye is not disappointed the areas are large yet inviting there is plenty of space inside this little ship where you can wind down and relax between ports of coal [Music] the galley also has all of the hallmarks of a bespoke and high-end explorer yacht and with those windows the chef aboard this super exploration won't have to worry about not getting access to any natural light as they work the cabins aboard the ocean king explorer 130 are also very impressive they have a modern and timeless look and creates a warm and welcoming environment you could no doubt spend weeks at sea aboard this boat without feeling as though the bulkheads are closing in on you and check out these ensuites they are reminiscent of a five-star luxury spa [Music] [Music] and now we come to one of my favorite parts of any vessel the bridge the windows on the bridge of the 130 are huge with a port and starboard wing station this enables you to get an excellent view aft especially when you are coming alongside or heading out to sea having just left a busy marina or harbour at the helm position we have four large screens forward of the ship's wheel with a large charts table to both port and starboard [Music] of course as you would expect with a vessel like the ocean king 130 the engine room would not look out of place on a vessel twice her size all of the main machinery and vital equipment can be easily accessed which is vital when operating in remote parts of the world as well as her twin cats this vessel boasts two 116 kilowatt generators plus one 65 kilowatt generator i am incredibly impressed by the ocean king 130 not only can this explorer yachts take you to far-off destinations but she can also take you and your guests through sea conditions which as much as you try to avoid them are inevitable when long-range cruising but
