SAFARI EXPLORER
SAFARI EXPLORER yacht available for charter. Built in 1981 with a charter price from $325,700 for up to 36 guests in 18 suites with a crew of 16.
“If a client asks me for a yacht that simply gets it right, SAFARI EXPLORER is usually my first call. The 44.2m Freeport Shipbuilding build hits a sweet spot — big enough to feel like a private floating villa, intimate enough that the crew remembers how you take your morning coffee by day two. In Oceania especially, the itinerary options around her are exceptional — and the crew know every anchorage worth the detour.”
Accommodation
18 elegantly appointed cabins host up to 36 in serene comfort, served by a professional crew of 16.
Indicative layout based on 18 cabins / 36 guests. Final cabin configuration confirmed by the yacht's manager at enquiry.

What a yacht like SAFARI EXPLORER costs to own — not just to charter
A charter week on SAFARI EXPLORER is a fixed, all-in number. Ownership of a 44m yacht in this class is a five-year commitment — crew payroll, insurance, class and refit reserves, berthing and depreciation. Our yacht ownership vs charter vs fractional ownership study runs the real five-year cost of a €15 million yacht against the equivalent charter spend, and the most profitable yachts for owners ranking shows how much of that stack charter revenue actually recovers.
