2025 Bee Explorer | 116ft

Displacement Architecture and Design

The 2025 Bee Explorer combines a full-displacement steel hull with an aluminum superstructure and remains under 300 GT. ART Shipyard built the yacht in Turkey, while Sergio Cutolo’s Hydrotec created the exterior design.

The exterior composition carries through to a generous sun deck, a bridge-deck salon, and an expansive upper-deck aft area. Michele Dragoni’s interior design uses light brushed-oak flooring and white lacquered ceilings to create a bright, open character throughout the interior.

Decks Connected to the Water

The bridge-deck salon flows into the upper-deck aft space, extending the yacht’s social areas across the upper level. The main salon opens onto the aft deck, where a Jacuzzi forms the focal point of the outdoor arrangement.

Med steps lead from the aft deck to a large fixed bathing platform, creating a direct connection between the main-deck exterior and the water.

Main-Deck Accommodation

The main deck contains a full-beam owner’s stateroom and four guest staterooms, forming a five-cabin accommodation arrangement. Three crew cabins support the onboard service layout.

The 2025 Bee Explorer measures 116.21 feet overall, with a 25.26-foot beam and a minimum draft of 7.55 feet.

Machinery and Passage Speed

Twin Caterpillar C18 ACERT engines, rated at 715 hp each, provide 1,430 hp of installed power. The yacht has a cruising speed of 11.5 knots and a maximum speed of 13 knots.

The tank arrangement includes a 11,095.23-gallon fuel tank and a 1,902.04-gallon water tank.
