Step aboard a true offshore performer - the Clipper Explorer 50 Pilot House - where timeless design meets rugged capability. Now exclusively available through Spectrum Marine, this 2016 model is a standout in the market, freshly detailed and ready for her next chapter.
Designed by acclaimed Australian naval architect Mark Williamson, the Explorer 50 is purpose-built for serious cruising. With her semi-displacement hull and twin Cummins QSB 6.7 480hp diesels, she's as comfortable passage-making at 8 knots as she is sprinting to 18 knots when the conditions call for it.
The pilothouse design gives commanding visibility and protection underway, while the warm teak interior, two generous cabins and twin bathrooms offer space and comfort for extended stays onboard. Whether you're navigating to the Whitsundays, crossing to the Kimberley, or hosting family weekends on the Broadwater - this vessel delivers with confidence and style.
Fresh from annual maintenance, she comes with:
- Twin Cummins QSB 6.7 480hp diesel engines with 700 hours
- Two generous cabins, with an addition convertible bed in the saloon (Sleeping 6)
- Hydraulic Swim Platform
- Wesmar digital Hydraulic stabilisers & 220 kgf Vetus Bow thruster
- Fresh antifoul and Prop speed
- Full professional detailing
- High-spec systems throughout
- Owner open to trade-ins - rare flexibility!
This is a serious cruiser that ticks all the boxes - long-range capability, luxury finishes, and recent servicing taken care of. She's available for immediate delivery. Now located at Coomera, Gold Coast - inspections are highly recommended. For further details or to arrange a private viewing, contact Peter at Spectrum Marine on
