Yono Explorer is a heavily upgraded 1982 Velmare Vagabond 47, now located in Labuan Bajo, Indonesia, the gateway to Komodo National Park and some of the world's finest cruising grounds. Unlike many classic bluewater yachts of similar vintage, this Velmare Vagabond 47 has benefited from substantial investment between 2021 and 2024, including a rebuilt diesel engine, new gearbox, lithium battery bank, solar charging system, watermaker, new sails, and extensive cosmetic improvements.
Actively cruised throughout Thailand, Bali, and Eastern Indonesia, this Velmare Vagabond 47 has already proven her capability as a comfortable and dependable long-range cruising yacht. Featuring a secure centre cockpit, protected pilot house, spacious liveaboard accommodation, and fresh antifouling scheduled for June 2026, she offers a rare opportunity to acquire a genuinely offshore-ready Velmare Vagabond 47 without the significant refit costs often associated with classic cruising yachts.
