The Flagship Explorer
The 500EXP is a 47-meter explorer superyacht designed by Francesco Paszkowski, pairing a rugged reinforced steel hull with an adaptable, refined interior. Twin Caterpillar C32 ACERT engines carry it 4,000 nautical miles or more, while an extended aft deck and a 7.5-ton crane handle large tenders, submersibles, and even a small aircraft. A full-beam main-deck owner’s suite with a fold-down sea balcony, a waterline beach club with wellness amenities, and an upper-deck spa pool host up to 12 guests across five staterooms.
Frequently Asked Questions
The Explorer (EXP) line is built for self-sufficient expedition cruising, centered on the 47-meter 500EXP with its reinforced steel hull, sub-500 GT profile, transoceanic range, and a 7.5-ton aft crane for tenders, submarines, and even a seaplane. The Steel line spans 50 to 74 meters and reaches full megayacht scale, with made-to-measure interiors, transforming three-sided beach clubs, and advanced diesel-electric and fuel-cell propulsion. Choose the Explorer to roam far and carry everything, and the Steel line for maximum volume and customization at superyacht scale.
The 500EXP cruises approximately 4,000 nautical miles at 11 knots on a single fuel load, powered by twin Caterpillar C32 ACERT engines. This range supports transatlantic passages, extended Pacific cruising, and access to remote offshore anchorages without refueling stops. Custom hybrid-propulsion configurations can extend this further.
The signature extended aft deck pairs with a heavy-duty crane rated up to 7.5 tons. Together they launch and recover tenders up to 9 meters, jet skis, a personal submarine, or a small aircraft or helicopter, with an indoor hangar to store toys safely on passage.
Staying just below 499 gross tons keeps the yacht within a regulatory tier that eases international commercial safety and manning requirements. This lowers operating costs and crew overhead while Sanlorenzo maximizes the interior volume within that threshold.
