Inside the New Kingship Marine KS88 Explorer Yacht

Kingship Marine KS88 explorer yacht

🌊 Redefining Long-Range Exploration

Kingship Marine has officially unveiled the KS88, a 27-meter explorer yacht currently under construction for a 2027 debut. Designed for owners who demand both endurance and agility, this vessel bridges the gap between massive expedition ships and manageable, owner-operated yachts.

⚙️ Engineering and Performance Specs

The KS88 utilizes a robust steel hull paired with an aluminum superstructure, totaling 199 GT. By keeping the gross tonnage under the 200 GT threshold, the vessel offers significant interior volume while avoiding the more stringent regulatory burdens often associated with larger yachts.

Powered by twin Caterpillar C18 engines (1200 hp each), the yacht reaches a top speed of 13 knots. The interior layout is optimized to accommodate 8 guests and a professional crew of 4, ensuring comfort during extended ocean crossings.
