Dauntless Yachts is delighted to announce that its first 75-foot motor yacht D75 Explorer is scheduled for launch this November. Successfully sold, the D75 Explorer yacht is currently under construction in Istanbul, Turkey.
DAUNTLESS’ the Explorers’ EXPLORER is a line of new expedition vessels developed for adventurous spirits desiring to explore remote, exotic locations in comfort and safety, with minimal shore support. The 75-foot luxury yacht D75 is built like a small ship with all the accoutrements of a luxurious megayacht, including a timeless look and a flowing, distinctive style.
Naval Architect, Jon Overing, of Overing Yacht Designs, created the outstanding D75 Explorer yacht with seaworthiness, safety and outstanding fuel economy required for long passages with minimal operating costs.
Available in both 75 and 85-foot versions, DAUNTLESS is based upon Overing’s proprietary fast-displacement hull form, noted for its superior seakeeping qualities, increased speeds and fuel efficiency.
The D75 yacht`s seagoing hull exceeds one mile to the gallon economy resulting in a cruising range of over 4,000 nautical miles with standard 4,000 gallon tankage.
The triple-deck arrangement and additional hull depth inherent in the fast-displacement hull design, facilitates a full four stateroom ensuite configuration, plus separate ensuite crew quarters aft. The centrally located full-beam master stateroom features luxurious his and hers bathrooms.
A dayhead is conveniently located aft of the wheelhouse. A full height lower level is incorporated beneath the guest staterooms, which includes a commercial laundry facility, three additional deep freeze units, as well as extensive dry goods storage and storage for auxiliary machinery and spare parts, enabling the D75 yacht to cruise for extended periods in remote locales without need for reprovisioning.
DAUNTLESS models are constructed entirely infused vinylester resin. The SCRIMP process is used throughout with a solid laminate hull, with foam cored superstructure, decks, stringers and bulkheads. The result is an exceptionally strong, low maintenance vessel, resistant to blistering and delamination.
Common to military and high-end commercial vessels, DAUNTLESS yachts are equipped with 70/30 copper nickel stand pipe sea chests and monel inverted cone strainers, rather than standard through-hulls, sea valve and basket-style strainers. All equipment is commercial grade and top quality with extensive use of 316L stainless steel, many components being polished to a mirror finish.
All vital – and some non-vital – systems have full redundancy in the event of failure. This allows uninterrupted operation until repairs can be effected, essential for any vessel embarking on extended cruising. Convenient walk-down stairs with generous 6’4” headroom within the laundry and forward machinery spaces provide easy access and maintenance from the interior.
The exceptionally luxurious JC Espinosa designed interior of the D75 Explorer yacht in traditional raised panel oak creates a handsome, flowing space with impeccable attention to every detail. True megayacht quality finishing exceeds that of vessels commonly found in this market niche.
Nowhere is the sense of quiet luxury blended with informality more apparent than in the expansive galley, which is open to the wheelhouse. Within arm’s reach of the galley is a plush elevated settee creating a comfortable extensive space for casual entertaining while underway or at anchor, ideal for owner-operators who do not want to be isolated in the galley.
DAUNTLESS D75 yacht is a serious off-shore explorer with megayacht features in just 75-foot length, striking a perfect balance in today’s world climate, combining tremendous fuel efficiency, low operating costs and requirement for minimal crew.
