The Ocean Explorer is coming to the United States

For the first time, the Steeler Ocean Explorer will be on display in the United States at the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show (FLIBS). From October 28 – November 1, we invite you to visit us at Face Dock to step aboard the Ocean Explorer 72 Two Bubbles and discover the Ocean Explorer range firsthand.

The Ocean Explorer combines the strength and seakeeping of a steel displacement hull with the weight advantages of an aluminum superstructure, creating a platform designed for comfortable and confident long-range cruising. The 72 on display is powered by twin MAN heavy-duty diesel engines and offers approximately 4,500 nautical miles of range at 8 knots. Two Bubbles has already proven these long-range credentials as the first Steeler yacht to cross the Atlantic on her own keel.

The Ocean Explorer range comprises the 67, 72, 85 and 88, offering different dimensions and layouts while sharing the same philosophy of long-range capability and customization. The latest delivery, the Ocean Explorer 67 Nikitoo, made its world debut at the Cannes Yachting Festival in September.

At FLIBS, our team will be available to discuss the complete Ocean Explorer range, as well as our other Steeler models, your intended cruising plans and how we can develop a yacht around your individual requirements.

For those looking to start their next adventure sooner, the Ocean Explorer 72 Two Bubbles on display is also available for sale, presenting a rare opportunity to acquire a proven Ocean Explorer without the lead time of a new build.
