Steeler Yachts delivers its largest yacht yet: the Ocean Explorer 85

Designed for true blue water cruising, the Ocean Explorer 85 features a robust steel displacement hull with an aluminum superstructure. The spacious flybridge includes sliding windows, allowing owners to enjoy either a fully covered or open cabrio experience, adaptable to different climates. Inside, the yacht offers a bright main saloon with panoramic windows, a fully equipped galley, a generous full-beam owner’s suite, multiple guest cabins and dedicated crew quarters, giving everyone on board the freedom to travel the world in complete comfort.

The owner of the Ocean Explorer 85 shares:
“My entire private and professional life revolves around ships, boats, sailing and living on the water. With the Steeler Ocean Explorer 85, I have been able to realize my dream: a yacht that is as close to perfect as possible. Perfect for making long trips, living on the water, laughing and celebrating life. I would like to thank Steeler for the excellent cooperation during the build. Every wish I had during the construction phase was made reality, and the yacht was delivered exactly on the date agreed in our contract. You couldn’t deliver a yacht more perfectly for an owner who loves every detail.”

The delivery was celebrated in Lemmer with the owner and Steeler’s team.
