Creators of environmentally-friendly yachts

• Sail, and discover freedom
• Explore new realms of nature
• Feel sensation & exhilaration
• Find peace of mind

For such voyages, Mitchell Yachts brings you Explorer, the two-berth micro-yacht with a revolutionary keel and environmentally-friendly construction.

A simple, small, lightweight yacht — the minimum necessary to get you where you want to go in speed and safety — opening up the adventure of independent exploration. The sea-going equivalent of a mountain bike and tent, Explorer is designed for exhilarating sailing, with ample storage space for cruising provisions, and a cabin for two.

Adventurous voyagers will find Explorer ideal for coastal cruising and short offshore passages such as crossing the Irish Sea or English Channel. Designed to be self reliant without an auxiliary engine, she points close to the wind and her sharp bow parts oncoming waves. With a cruising speed of 4 knots, she has a range of 100 miles in 24 hours, enabling her to passage safely from haven to haven around the British coastline.

Explorer’s inspiration

I was told about someone who had built a 12ft (3.66m) yacht entirely out of scraps, and was sailing around the world. I was so inspired by the story that I decided to build my own boat...
