The Exploration 60 is a modern, high-performance cruising yacht designed by Berret-Racoupeau and built by Garcia Yachts (FRA) starting in 2022. As a recent model with an unknown total build count, it represents a contemporary approach to large-displacement cruising, combining substantial weight with advanced systems.

Best for:

This vessel is ideally suited for serious bluewater cruisers and offshore passagemakers who prioritize self-sufficiency and comfort over pure racing performance. Its cutter rig and substantial systems support make it well-matched for couples or small families undertaking long-range voyages.

Bluewater capability:

With a displacement of 77161.79 lb and a low capsize ratio of 1.67, the Exploration 60 exhibits strong offshore stability and seakeeping characteristics typical of heavy-displacement cruising yachts.

Comparables:

Comparable vessels include the Hallberg-Rassy 63 and the Swan 651, which share similar displacement and offshore-oriented hull forms. These boats are comparable due to their focus on heavy displacement, robust construction, and suitability for extended offshore cruising.
