Drettmann Yachts reveals 50m explorer yacht concept at event in Mallorca

26 April 2024 • Written by Dea Jusufi

German broker and shipyard Drettmann Yachts has revealed a 49.9-metre explorer yacht concept known as Project B50.

Project B50 was "launched" during an event held at the shipyard's office in Puerto Portals, Mallorca.

Designed to be an Ice Class explorer, Project B50's key specs include a 9.3-metre beam, a gross tonnage of 499GT and 2.6-metre draft.

Accommodation is for up to 12 guests and nine crew. The upper deck is dedicated to the owner and has a cabin with 270-degree views, a skylight, a separate dressing room and a his and hers bathroom with bathtub. Privately accessed, the bow area is arranged with sofa seating and a dip pool. There is a skylounge and a bar found aft, as well as al fresco dining accessible through sliding glass doors.

A six-metre swimming freshwater swimming pool is found on the main deck, which can be covered and converted into a touch-and-go helipad or tender storage. Two lounges are found aft, partially shaded by the deck above, while a formal dining area and the main saloon can be found inside. 

Other leisure spaces include the lower deck steam bath and gym with drop-down balcony, the outdoor cinema – which would be installed with windbreakers – and a glass-fronted crows nest that provides lofty views.

A side garage can store a 6.2-metre tender and a Jetski.

Project B50 would be powered by an integrated VETH L-Drive for a maximum speed of 14 knots and a range of 4,500 nautical miles at 10 knots.
