PROJECT FOX -
A TRAILBLAZER IN EXPLORER YACHTS
PROJECT FOX is a 35m expedition superyacht designed to take adventurous owners off the beaten path .
Currently in build at the renowned Pendennis shipyard in Falmouth , UK , PROJECT FOX is a 34.9m ( 114.3ft ) explorer yacht with an interior designed by Q London . Her steel hull and aluminium superstructure are constructed to RINA commercial classification and she is scheduled for delivery in spring 2023 . She represents a rare opportunity to jump congested build queues considerably on a yacht that celebrates the very best of British design and engineering .
PROJECT FOX is aptly named after one of Falmouth ’ s most famous sons : Robert Were Fox the Younger . He was a 19thcentury scientist who enabled exploration by inventing a compass that measured magnetic dip at sea in high latitudes , a compass that ultimately guided the expedition that discovered the South Pole . The associations between Fox , Falmouth and exploration are ones that resonate strongly in one of the very few genuine explorer yachts of this size .
Her striking exterior design is muscular and practical , almost military , in appearance , and her beach-house style interiors are bright and modern with an emphasis on comfort , versatility and safety . Key to her design is the 103.5sqm ( 1,114sqft ) main deck aft , which enables her to carry a huge range of equipment , from watertoys and two 7.5m ( 24.6ft ) tenders to amphibious vehicles and submersibles , launched by two 2.5T SWL deck cranes - carrying capacity usually unheard of in a yacht of this size .
With the toys launched , the main deck aft has endless possibilities for relaxation and entertainment . The space includes a DJ station , open-air dining and bar with optional shade from awnings . A glasswalled family room or media sky lounge , with a wine cellar in the lobby , opens onto a 46sqm ( 495sqft ) terrace with BBQ and open-air dining , as well as walkaround sidedecks that lead to lounge seating forward of the bridge .
The yacht welcomes eight guests in four suites . She has two owner ’ s suites , both full beam and en suite . One is forward on the main deck and the second is aft on the lower deck , where there are also two twin guest suites .
Twin Caterpillar C18 ACERT engines give her a top speed of 15 knots , a cruising speed of 12 knots and a maximum range of 3,600nm . CMC Marine stabilisers ensure guest comfort underway and at anchor .
