DESTINY - FIFTH OCEAN SHIPYARD FOR SALE

DESTINY – Fifth Ocean Yachts 24m Explorer Yacht

DESTINY is a 24-meter bespoke explorer motor yacht crafted by Fifth Ocean Yachts / Fifth Ocean Shipyard in Ukraine. Launched in 2014, she encapsulates the yard’s ethos of building stout, pragmatic, long-range vessels with an emphasis on bluewater capability, autonomy, and effortless comfort underway.

Constructed with a steel hull capped by an aluminum superstructure, DESTINY was conceived as a compact yet formidable displacement explorer yacht. Her exterior styling and naval architecture by Ginton Naval Architects deliver a purposeful, enduring silhouette with genuine oceangoing poise. Where many yachts of similar length chase speed and short-hop itineraries, DESTINY was drawn for owners who place a premium on range, safety, efficiency, and the freedom to remain at sea for extended periods.

Measuring approximately 23.9 meters / 78 feet 5 inches with a beam of about 6.65 meters / 21 feet 10 inches, she offers notable interior volume for her footprint. The generous beam, true displacement form, and thoughtful arrangement create a serene platform for private cruising, intimate family voyages, or a light charter-style program, all delivered with trawler-yacht practicality and expedition-yacht presence.

One of DESTINY’s defining qualities is her authentic explorer-yacht DNA. She is engineered for long-distance cruising, low-friction operation, and confident passagemaking. The steel structure furnishes resilience and longevity, while the aluminum superstructure trims weight aloft for improved stability and efficiency. This proven pairing—typical of serious long-range yachts—is prized by owners who value structural strength and seakeeping above trends.

Power comes from twin Caterpillar diesel engines, providing an efficient cruising profile and a top speed in the region of 11–11.5 knots. With substantial fuel reserves and economical displacement performance, she is tailored to extended itineraries where range, reliability, and operational economy matter more than outright pace, aligning perfectly with the ethos of an expedition motor yacht.

Accommodation is arranged for 7–8 guests in 4 cabins, depending on the chosen configuration. The guest spaces include a full-beam owner’s suite, a VIP stateroom, and well-proportioned additional cabins, each conceived to deliver privacy and comfort. Smart storage solutions and ensuite facilities throughout make DESTINY particularly suitable for living aboard during longer passages and seasonal cruising.

Inside, DESTINY exudes warmth and ease, blending seamanlike planning with a relaxed, residential ambiance. The main salon is an inviting hub for conversation, dining, and unwinding, while large windows usher daylight into the social areas. The interior flow supports both tranquil family use and refined entertaining, matching the expectations of a luxury displacement motor yacht.

Open-air living is equally compelling. The aft deck is ideal for alfresco meals with a view, and the upper and sun deck areas invite lounging, reading, and enjoying the breeze from sunrise to sunset. These outdoor zones suit Mediterranean-style cruising, island-to-island hops, and lingering at anchor—hallmarks of true long-range leisure.

Professional crew accommodation is incorporated, enabling the yacht to be run to proper standards. In the 24-meter category, dedicated crew quarters are a significant benefit, preserving owner and guest privacy while ensuring attentive service and safe, efficient operations on every passage.

From a brokerage standpoint, DESTINY stands out precisely because she isn’t a mass-production motor yacht. She is a custom, compact explorer with robust build quality, sensible engineering, and a distinctive, characterful spirit. For clients seeking a long-range displacement yacht, she offers an uncommon blend of manageable size, steel construction, generous comfort, and authentic cruising capability.

DESTINY is particularly appealing to an owner who wants more than a weekender. She suits the yachtsman drawn to proper travel by sea—longer legs between ports, unhurried displacement cruising, extended life aboard, and the assurance that comes with a strong, ocean-capable hull.

Set against the many faster fiberglass yachts in her length range, DESTINY promises a different style of ownership. She prioritizes substance over sheer speed: strength, autonomy, range, comfort, and safety. As such, she is a compelling option for those considering explorer yachts, compact expedition yachts, trawler-style motor yachts, or other long-range displacement vessels.

In sum, DESTINY is a distinctive 24-meter explorer yacht featuring solid Ukrainian craftsmanship, European naval architecture, and a practical layout for serious cruising. She encapsulates the Fifth Ocean Yachts vision: a robust, efficient, and comfortable bluewater cruiser for owners who aim to travel farther, stay out longer, and savor the sea with confidence.
