Custom


SOUL EXPLORER was purchased in 2019 and extensivly refurbished over the following 12 months.
SOUL EXPLORER delivers a superb combination of quality craftsmanship,
comfort, and a flair for adventure into one exciting 55-footer. Designed with the adventurous
owner in mind. With an attractive 9,000-litre fuel capacity, SOUL EXPLORER is a yacht that will
inspire you to explore more widely, cruise new waters, and discover Australia and beyond like
never before.

As a family we sold our home and business to live-aboard and explore aboard, SOUL EXPLORER.
We refurbished without sacrificing any creature comforts.
The layout of SOUL EXPLORER has been created to ensure that she is nothing short of an on-water
sanctuary - at true home away from home. Stepping aboard, her aft deck is spacious and
versatile, making it well-suited to a broad range of water sports and activities. Inside, the layout is
open-plan and awash with natural light - tastefully finished and encompassing a well-appointed
galley, lounge, and dining area. Overnight accommodations cater for up to nine, with four cabins
including a midship master suite with ensuite, two single cabins forward, an aft cabin with double and two
singles, plus an additional bed in the wheelhouse and second toilet and shower mid deck.

Mechanically sound, at the heart of this robust custom-build is her ever-reliable Gardner 6LXB
engine that was meticulously rebuilt in 2019. For those unfamiliar with Gardner, their engines are
renowned for longevity and efficiency with most of the components involved being all cast or
fabricated in-house to standards of utmost quality. Highly sought-after features such as
raise/lower swim platform with tender chocks, a foredeck davit, and an extended flybridge deck
with outdoor entertaining space, enhance her appeal, adding to her functionality and onboard
experience wherever you choose to travel to.

Bringing together cruising capability, a relaxed approach to time onboard, and the ability to take
on a multitude of cruising grounds in absolute confidence, SOUL EXPLORER's true magic lies in the
unforgettable experiences that she has enabled. Our ventures have been far and wide
with her from Thursday Island to The Kimberley's, Darwin to the Gold Coast. Immersing ourselves,
in the incredible ever changing Australian landscape, walking through caves of rock
art, meeting locals as well as other travelling boaties, securing diving tickets at Magnetic Island,
fishing in the 'top end', visiting pearl farms, and witnessing turtle hatchings and whale migrations
along the Queensland coast.... SOUL EXPLORER invites her new owners to invest in the
opportunity of a lifetime, to forge lasting memories, and experience personal growth unlike any
other.
