This 2021 Futuna 50 Grand Voyage is a purpose-built aluminium explorer yacht from Futuna Yachts, a builder known among offshore sailors for solid, go-anywhere construction. At 15.8m with a 4.62m beam, she carries the stability and load capacity that long-range cruising couples and families need for serious passage-making. The three-cabin layout splits owners, guests and crew comfortably, suiting both extended liveaboard stints and Pacific charter work.
She's currently based in Tahiti, which puts her right at the doorstep of French Polynesia's atolls and islands, or at the starting line for a wider Pacific run or circumnavigation. Futuna built its name on aluminium construction: tougher against impact, resistant to corrosion and lighter than steel, without giving up the strength needed for high-latitude or remote cruising. At three years old, she still has the benefit of modern deck hardware, systems and rigging, without the depreciation hit of buying new.
For anyone after a capable expedition yacht with French design roots, an aluminium hull that asks little in upkeep, and a ready-made Pacific base, the Explorer 50 Grand Voyage is on the market at EUR $650,000.
