LATITUDE emerges from her latest 11-month, €3.2 M refit as a rare opportunity in the expedition-yacht market: a proven 147.5' explorer with a fresh 15-year class survey, a fully renewed technical platform, and a layout designed for luxury, comfort, and fun in all environments. Her recent overhaul went far beyond routine maintenance—engine and generator work, new shafts, complete sea-valve and tank renewal, LED conversion, rebuilt windlasses with new chain, and a host of electrical and structural upgrades—giving the next owner the confidence of a vessel reset for global cruising.
Beyond her mechanical pedigree, LATITUDE offers a guest experience that rivals yachts far larger. The sundeck is a signature space, featuring a new jacuzzi and multiple lounging areas. Inside, the sky lounge serves as a true second salon, supported by a forward master suite with its own private movie room and four beautifully appointed guest cabins. The transformation of the aft lower deck into a dedicated aquatic sports center and mini beach club—with integrated Nitrox dive system, gear stowage, and a full-beam deployable swim platform—elevates LATITUDE well beyond other yachts. The result is a mechanically refreshed, elegantly appointed vessel, ready for serious adventure or relaxed family cruising with equal poise.

LATITUDE’s sun deck is the kind of space that makes larger yachts jealous. It’s an elevated, open-plan environment engineered for serious entertaining, yet every zone retains a sense of intimacy. At the center sits a large sunpad that transforms into an al fresco dining area anchored by a bespoke “Explorer’s Table,” a hand-crafted piece featuring global hemispheres with LATITUDE’s historic routes inlaid alongside the paths of other legendary explorers such as Cook, Shackleton, and Lewis & Clark.
Lighting throughout is understated by design: enough illumination for excellent visibility yet carefully tuned so it never intrudes on the night sky. The lighting design, custom-created by James Russ of New Zealand, is exclusive to LATITUDE and elevates the entire experience.
All the way forward, the jacuzzi commands a spectacular vantage point and is flanked by two private seating niches—perfect hideaways that stay connected to the energy of the deck without being exposed.
The bar is topped with solid varnished teak and fully equipped with a fridge, sink, dumbwaiter, and generous storage. A substantial counter aft of the bar serves beautifully for buffet service and could easily accommodate a permanent grill. Further aft, the custom 4 m RHIB rescue tender sits on its cradle; its crane can cleverly double as a buffet table when stowed.
Multiple seating and sunning areas fill out the deck, making it equally suited to large gatherings, intimate cocktails, or movie nights beneath the stars on the projection screen. Storage is abundant, built seamlessly into the seating and bulwarks. The deck also lends itself to enhancements—surfboard or kayak racks outboard forward of the life rafts, or even custom boards mounted as sculptural pieces inside the arch over the mid-deck seating. The entire area can be shaded with Sunbrella awnings when needed.

One of LATITUDE’s great strengths is the number of intimate spaces built into her design. The foredeck, just ahead of the pilothouse, is a prime example. Twin kidney-shaped teak tables sit semi-embraced by generous teak bench seating—an ideal perch for breakfast at anchor, lunch in a tropical lagoon, or quiet whale-watching with an unobstructed forward view.
Ahead of this lounge area sit the crane and jet skis, flanked by two additional built-in benches. To preserve maximum deck space, the anchor windlass is housed inside the bosun’s locker, accessed through a large deck hatch. It’s a clever big-boat solution, more commonly seen on yachts twice LATITUDE’s size, that keeps the foredeck clean, open, and available for toys.
The bosun’s locker itself is substantial, giving the deck crew real working volume for lines, fenders, and general stores. True to LATITUDE’s design ethos, storage is integrated everywhere: beneath every bench are properly sized lockers, with power and deck-wash points cleanly concealed to keep the deck tidy and functional.

• Jet skis, kayaks, and other fun toys
• Access to bosun’s locker
• Dolphin watching off the bow
The pilothouse is accessible from three points: port and starboard exterior doors, plus an interior companionway. Those exterior doors showcase one of LATITUDE’s most thoughtful design details. On most yachts, watertight doors have visible “dogs”—the manual handles that secure the seal. On LATITUDE, the dogs are fully integrated inside the door itself and engage simply by lifting the handle. It’s a rare, elegant solution found throughout the boat that maintains the interior’s clean aesthetic while still delivering a proper watertight closure.
Now, to the pilothouse proper. LATITUDE features a true Portuguese-bridge design, complete with a teak-topped exterior bench just below the forward windows. It is a comfortable perch and doubles as discreet storage, concealing well-placed water and power points. Forward of the pilothouse sit two massive lockers dedicated to engine spares, filters, and critical parts. This is an important feature for a vessel built for extended passages far from support.
Dual wing stations offer excellent visibility for docking, with an ergonomic layout that makes close quarters handling straightforward.
Inside, the pilothouse is designed for navigation and guest engagement. Polished teak floors and a generous seating arrangement in rich brown leather create a warm, elevated environment. Two tables provide a perfect spot for an owner or guest to stay in the action, enjoy a meal, or take in the view from arguably the best seat aboard.
Storage for charts and publications is abundant, and the navigation suite is extensive, with a 42-inch chart display, well-considered redundancy across the electronics, a full GMDSS outfit, and three ECDIS systems. A partial equipment list follows:
• ECDIS
• Transas
• Time Zero
• Simrad
• Radars
• Furuno
• X-Band

Just off the bridge is the \captain’s cabin—a compact but beautifully considered command suite. The queen berth is intentionally elevated, allowing clear sightlines out the window so the captain can read the weather or check the horizon the moment he wakes. That raised platform also creates deep, well-organized storage below. The cabin is warm and efficient, with an ensuite head, full-height hanging lockers, and a built-in entertainment system. It’s a practical refuge designed for long passages, early watch calls, and the quiet rhythm of life just steps from the helm.

At the top of the curved staircase from the main deck—an architectural feature in its own right—you arrive at the bridge deck foyer. The staircase walls are wrapped in rich, dark leather, with a handrail that blends stainless steel and leather for a tactile, contemporary feel. True to LATITUDE’s design ethos, the interior team transformed what could have been a simple passageway into a highlight of the deck. The polished stone flooring uses two contrasting stones framed with stainless inlays, and the surrounding paneling is finished in exotic woods that warm the space.
This central hub connects the pilothouse, the video-editing room, the stewardess pantry, the sky lounge, and a day head—proving once again that on LATITUDE, even transitional spaces are treated with the same attention to beauty, utility, and craftsmanship as the primary guest areas.

• Access to below deck

The video-editing room is the technical nerve center of LATITUDE and the place where the film The Highest LATITUDE was created.
Two large monitors sit above a dedicated work desk, with storage on both sides for drones, cameras, lenses, and all the supporting gear needed for serious filmmaking. Beyond its editorial role, the space also houses the yacht’s communications backbone, serving as the central hub for satellite internet, satcom systems, onboard AV entertainment, and satellite television. It’s a compact but highly capable production suite designed for real storytelling at sea.
