Calling all globetrotting sailors! Just a splash after the success of their 45-footer, Garcia Yachts has unveiled the Exploration 52, a luxurious beast crafted for conquering the world in comfort.
This 50-foot beauty is perfect for sharing unforgettable journeys, no matter the destination. While the 45 might be ideal for a couple’s adventure, the 52 offers ample space for family and friends to join the odyssey.
Built to Explore, Anywhere
The Garcia Exploration 52 doesn’t shy away from a challenge. With a centerboard that allows for shallow waters (perfect for island hopping!), a tough aluminum hull, and twin rudders for ultimate control, this vessel is ready for anything the seas throw its way.
The cleverly designed cockpit boasts two helm stations, perfect for keeping watch while underway. Stepping inside, you’ll be greeted by a warm, inviting interior with panoramic windows that ensure you never miss a single breathtaking moment of your journey.
Comfort is Key
Long journeys are all about enjoying the ride, and the Exploration 52 doesn’t disappoint. The spacious deck saloon offers stunning views, while the watchkeeping position allows for clear visibility while navigating. Ample storage throughout the boat keeps everything organized, and watertight companionway doors and bulkheads prioritize safety.
Since 1974 Garcia Yachts have been designing and building exceptional boats. Specialized boats, for distant cruising, in the great cold as well as in warm latitudes. Robust boats, intelligently designed, comfortable, perfectly insulated and with exceptional seakeeping qualities.

Designed for the Long Haul
Garcia isn’t new to the world of long-distance cruising, and their expertise shines through in the Exploration 52. This vessel is built to handle any weather condition, offering exceptional seaworthiness and comfort no matter the point of sail.
The design team, collaborating with renowned sailor Jimmy Cornell, has meticulously crafted a boat that prioritizes both performance and comfort. The cockpit’s ergonomics, for example, were shaped by accomplished sailor Halvard Mabyre, ensuring ease of use even in rough seas.
Luxury Awaits Below Deck
The interior is a haven of comfort and style. The panoramic view from the deck saloon remains a highlight, complemented by three luxurious double cabins. The master cabin, with its generous space, ample storage, and private bathroom, is an owner’s dream.
Below the saloon, a technical room (or optional fourth cabin) provides additional storage for essentials. The galley and saloon are designed to comfortably seat 6 to 8 guests, with plush upholstery, leather accents, and Corian countertops creating a sophisticated and inviting atmosphere.
