Meet the XO EXPLR 44

• By Yachting Staff
• December 27, 2023

XO Boats in Finland has unveiled its first adventure vessel: the XO EXPLR 44.

This is a builder that markets its designs as “crossover boats from the rough north.” XO Boats’ aluminum deep-V hulls are touted as being at the forefront of sustainability, since the melting of pre-used aluminum to create new boats requires only 5 percent of the energy used to produce the same amount of new aluminum.

XO Boats offers three lines of vessels: DFNDR, DSCVR and EXPLR. The EXPLR line includes five models that start at 28 feet length overall. In fact, all of the builder’s other models are smaller than 30 feet long. The new XO EXPLR 44 is the flagship for the brand, marking a leap in size to just shy of 44 feet length overall.

With the XO EXPLR 44, the builder says it intends to bring premium materials and naval architecture to adventure yachting. This boat can be ordered with either double 600-horsepower engines or triple 450-horsepower motors, depending on how much giddyap the owner wants to achieve. Reported top speed is more than 50 knots.

Exterior styling on the XO EXPLR 44 is aggressive, giving off a vibe similar to military-inspired expedition yachts that are capable of cruising the polar regions. The angular shapes should look formidable entering just about any harbor.

“As we have discussed with our customers and listened to their feedback, we saw that there was demand for a yacht-sized craft from XO,” Erkki Talvela, CEO of XO Boats, stated in a press release. “With this launch, we aim to meet the needs of more demanding and quality-conscious boaters who also appreciate the elegance of EXPLR 44.”

The boat has two staterooms that are equal in size, so nobody feels like they’re stuck sleeping in a kiddie cabin. The aft stateroom can be ordered with twin berths or a double, depending on the type of cruising the owner intends to do. There’s also a bunk in the pilothouse, meaning a total of six people can sleep on board.

For cruising in colder or warmer climates, the EXPLR 44 has heating and air conditioning. The roof has space for solar panels, if owners want to generate power off-grid, and there are roof racks for bicycles and other sports gear.

Is there companion seating at the helm of the EXPLR 44? Yes, there is. A skipper’s seat and a mate’s seat are side by side with full view of the helm displays.

We are thrilled with our new boat, a Nimbus W11 that was sold to us by Yachting Solutions. I cannot praise Yachting Solutions more highly.

The article analyzes the innovative-resource directions for the development of industry in the South of the Tyumen oblast (subject of the Russian Federation–the Tyumen oblast without okrugs—STO) based on the concepts of evolutionary economic geography and the theory of innovation. It is shown that the development of the South of the Tyumen oblast economy is associated with the formation of an oil industry cluster, deep processing of hydrocarbon raw materials, and the development of oil and gas resources. The development of the noted areas is largely determined by the already created innovative and industrial potential, long-term cooperation with the oil and gas regions of Western Siberia, and the prospects for the development of the oil and gas sector. The effective development of these areas requires the formation and implementation of a targeted policy of the region, focused, among other things, on the development of its own innovative companies, attracting new knowledge and competencies from other regions.

Up to the present time, it is still difficult to say that a full-fledged, competitive OIC has been created at the STO. Nevertheless, we will use this term, taking into account the general stages of the evolution of the development of clusters.

EXPLR 10 S+ IB

When others stay in port, let others bite the dust.

Smarter choices do not have to mean any compromises in other features XO boats have become famous for. XO EXPLR 10 S+ IB has what it takes to take all the elements to the extreme; this bold powerhouse comes with an inboard engine that adds both value and sense to the big picture.

Thanks to the aluminum superstructure, you can spontaneously take your XO ashore without worrying about breaking the hull, and if you suddenly feel like staying at sea overnight, there are berths for that.

XO EXPLR 10 Sport+ IB version adds a sleeping cabin instead of the open forward cockpit. The front cabin accommodates two people for a good night sleep, hence the inevitable night after a day is not an obstacle for continuing the adventure.

Inspired by Nordic environment and conditions, with its accommodation capacities and weatherproof cover, EXPLR 10 is the perfect boat for the adventurers travelling in all corners of the planet. The boat can be installed with air-conditioning and heater, and like all our boats, it also features our renowned aluminium deep-V hull. XO’s EXPLR 10 is made to exceed all your expectations, no matter the environment or challenge.
