Heritage
Founded in the Jakobstad-Pietarsaari region, in Finland, Ocean Explorer comes from a long history of luxury international boat builders coming together to form OQS – Ocean Quality Systems. The same craftsmen who built the high-performance, luxury yachts of the same region, use their skills and close attention to detail to create the Ocean Explorer catamaran.
All personnel have been working closely with the other two large yacht manufacturers in the area, Baltic Yachts Finland and Nautors Swan. This area of Finland is known for producing the best bluewater cruiser racers in the world.
Internationally acclaimed Naval Architect, German Frers, known for his beautiful and efficient designs, along with the knowledgeable Ocean Explorer team, design and build every yacht with you at the very heart of it. Creating a platform to enable you to take the next step, your next adventure. All from the comfort and safety of your expertly designed yacht, so you can sail the world without compromise.
