Another Feadship yacht was seen at Malta , this time the 46.63 metres motor yacht EXPLORA of which was spotted berthed at the former Medserv Base now called Manoel Island Marina.
She was built in 1985 and launched as the ENTERPRISE IV, SEA KINGDOM for few months but was renamed SEA AMENITY, again for few months of which was renamed again as CHARISMA of which she was totally rebuilt in 2002 in consultation with Feadship to maintain the integrity of the brand and has been very well maintained and upgraded by her dedicated captain and owner. Improvements include the addition of a sun deck spa pool, new carpets and furnishings, and zero speed stabilisers.
During September 2016 she was sold and renamed EXPLORA. With a beam of 8.23 m and a draft of 2.67 m, she has a steel hull and aluminium superstructure. This adds up to a gross tonnage of 419 tons.
