A look back at a photo shoot in La Grande Motte, right after the Multihull Boat Show: lots of people on board, kids, sunshine, maneuvers, speed, and life. The Explocat also showed its family-friendly side.

Children in the Front Seat

Kids love trampolines—we all know that—and on a boat, it’s even more fun! It’s also reassuring for parents, who can keep an eye on their children thanks to the forward cockpit and the easy access it provides. It’s also the ideal spot to watch the sea up close and fully enjoy the sailing experience. It’s the perfect place, too, for spending time together during stops along the way.

The front cockpit becomes a true living space

These images also show that an exploration boat isn't just designed to cover miles; it must also be a pleasant place for the crew to live day to day, whether at anchor or underway.

An unobstructed view of the entire boat

From the Helm station , there is an unobstructed view of the sails, the surroundings, and the crew’s movements. This vantage point allows the helmsman to keep watch while remaining at the heart of life on board.

These simple moments also serve as a reminder of what has made theExplocat 52 such a success since its launch: an aluminium exploration catamaran aluminium comfortably accommodating family, friends, or a crew while maintaining a smooth flow of movement and well-defined living spaces.

A new version  

Since this unit was launched, a new version of the Explocat has become available, featuring a new design and the option for a different Helm station configuration.

Check out the new version,Explocat 52.2.
