Every yacht is engineered and designed in-house, with the ambition to shape a new standard of marine experience — one defined by clarity, confidence and control.

Our mission

Introduction by the founder RICCARDO RADICE

 

My whole life in the nautical sector.
My great passion for boating always motivated me to involve and convey this feeling to as many people as possible.
My mission has always been to satisfy customers by helping them to live in environments that are desired and dreamed by them, as my training as an architect taught me. In all these years I have realised that the biggest obstacle keeping potential sea lovers away from sailing is SAFETY. That fundamental and indispensable feeling of being relaxed at all times and in all weather conditions. The nautical sector, fascinating and attractive, is little known to most people and the sea remains a dangerous place for many. This is why I have decided to put 'SAFETY' at the forefront of my new projects.Explorer 62, the first new addition to the Explorer range, is a project that has evolved over 3 intense and fruitful years of study and research.
Everything has been thought out and designed to keep the initial promise: MAXIMUM SAFETY. Like a big explorer ship, the new Explorer 62 can navigate in all seas and under any weather conditions, making its guests feel safe and comfortable, every single day of the year.

History

The logo of the new LOY Srl shipyard is the head of an elephant embellished with two aquamarines simulating its eyes.
The elephant, a symbol of power and strength but also of security and spirituality, well represents the features of these new yachts.
A powerful animal evoking the spirit of exploration, for many centuries used for fascinating journeys and great adventures, it is also incredibly recognised as the best land swimmer; some species are capable of swimming up to 50 km in the sea. The stylised head symbol in a modern design is intended to convey a unique and unmistakable impression.

 

"The elephant is in memory of my father. Sessa has used for years it with its trunk raised as a symbol of good luck. The helm of the new Explorers will carry this brand, and it will remind me forever of the most important man in my life"

Engineering for confidence at sea 

Every Explorer yacht is the result of a precise architectural mindset: solid geometry, structural integrity and real-world readiness. Navigation is not a scenario — it is an environment. And for that, each component of the yacht has been designed to deliver consistency, predictability and control across all sea states. From reinforced hull construction to redundant anchoring systems, nothing has been left to chance. What you feel on board is not just reassurance. It’s certainty.

 

SYSTEMS THAT SUPPORT THE EXPERIENCE

 

What makes a yacht feel reliable is not what you see, but what works consistently beneath the surface. From seamless anchoring maneuvers to fluid onboard operations, Explorer integrates dual systems and discreet engineering solutions that allow you to enjoy every moment with confidence, without interruption, without question.

 

Built with clarity of purpose. Experienced through quiet precision.
