|Motor Yacht
AFTER YOU is a 60.2-metre explorer yacht from Damen Yachting’s Xplorer 60 series, developed for long-range cruising in both temperate and polar regions. Combining a robust steel hull with an aluminium superstructure, she brings together expedition capability, contemporary design and the comfort expected of a modern large yacht.
Exterior design is by Azure Yacht Design & Naval Architecture, with interiors by H2 Yacht Design and naval architecture by Damen Yachting. Her purposeful profile reflects her explorer credentials, while large exterior decks and a certified helideck support remote cruising and expedition use.
Accommodation is arranged for up to 12 guests in six suites, complemented by generous crew accommodation for professional operation. The interior focuses on comfort during extended voyages, with spacious saloons, multiple dining areas and wellness facilities including a sauna and steam room.
AFTER YOU is powered by a hybrid diesel-electric propulsion system built around twin MTU main engines. She has a reported maximum speed of approximately 14.5 knots, cruises at around 11.5 knots, and offers a range of about 5,000 nautical miles, giving her strong transoceanic capability.
Her explorer specification includes an Ice Class hull, IMO Polar Code-compliant engineering and up to approximately 30 days of operational autonomy. This allows her to support extended itineraries far from conventional yachting infrastructure while maintaining a high level of comfort and onboard independence.
Overall, AFTER YOU is a highly capable contemporary expedition yacht, combining Damen’s commercial engineering heritage with sophisticated design, hybrid propulsion and the range and resilience required for serious worldwide cruising.
