Nowhere You Can't Go
The Garcia Exploration 45 is the first model in the aluminum hull range, and was designed in collaboration with the famous yachtsman Jimmy Cornell, in anticipation of transiting the Northwest Passage. An aluminum hulled centerboarder, the Garcia Exploration 45 features twin rudders, a protected cockpit, pilothouse with 270-degree views, thermal insulation, watertight door, and much more. This model, radical in its approach and design, laid the foundations for the Exploration range and presents a new benchmark for blue water cruising yachts.
The Exploration 45 is a versatile, safe yacht that is capable of taking you anywhere, to the most remote places on the planet, from high latitudes to tropical zones. Safe, autonomous, comfortable at sea, comfortable at anchor, and easy to maneuver, this is the ideal model for a couple or family wishing to explore the world on and off the beaten track.
