GX Superyachts has revealed an innovative 38m responsible expedition superyacht dubbed the GX38 Voyager at this year’s Monaco Yacht Show (24-27 September). Coming hot on the heels of the young brand’s debut 42m, already in build, and its GX34 hybrid yacht, the new model marks a shift towards adventure yachting in severe weather conditions. It has been developed at the specific request of a committed client.
Market-leading hybrid efficiency
In line with GX Superyachts’ philosophy of responsible yachting, the GX38 Voyager aims at extreme efficiency with enhancing comfort on board. To that end, the powertrain will use GX’s proprietary hybrid propulsion system, dovetailing extensive solar panels, diesel generators and electric motors to reduce carbon emissions by as much as 30 per cent compared to conventional diesel power.
With optional Azimuth pod drives and a class approved ice strengthened hull, unprecedented on an aluminium hull, the GX38 Voyager is conceived from the start to venture far off the beaten track. It can manage speeds up to 16 knots if necessary, but in hybrid navigation mode the range at 6 knots is a staggering 10,000 nautical miles. It means that the yacht is capable of truly globetrotting performance.
