Humphreys yacht design unveils 50m Explorer Yacht at JFA Yachts
Humphreys Yacht Design (HYD) has unveiled exterior renderings of a new 50m explorer yacht, now nearing completion at JFA Yachts in France and set to launch later this year. Built with an aluminium hull and lower superstructure and a composite upper structure for weight efficiency, the yacht is designed for global cruising and extended autonomy in remote regions.
Developed in collaboration with A2B Marine Projects, the yacht features a fast-displacement hull, hybrid propulsion, gyro and fin stabilisers, and capacity for a 9.25m tender plus various toys via three cranes. The vessel includes a private Owner’s Suite on the upper deck with lounge, office, and Jacuzzi; four guest cabins on the lower deck; and quarters for 10 crew.
HYD handled both naval architecture and exterior styling, while m2atelier designed the interiors. Key features include large glass panels, single-level decks for 360° views, and efficient service-guest separation via a centreline tank deck corridor.
Powered by MTU engines, Danfoss electric motors, and solar-backed batteries, the yacht achieves 20 knots in hybrid boost and a 5,000nm range at 12 knots. This technically advanced vessel reflects HYD’s rigorous design approach and JFA’s aluminium-composite expertise.
