New APSA Member: StellarPM
Luxury Yacht Construction and Renewal. Designed for Comfort. Engineered for Excellence. Built to Last.
Streamlining engineering, manufacturing, production, data, and information into perfect seamless yacht building and renewing – that’s the StellarPM way. StellarPM has been building, refitting and rebuilding yachts for over 20 years.
We know quality yacht building like few others. “It has been our dream to offer really safe and substantial explorer yachts to the market for some time now,” says Chris Holmes, StellarPM’s founder and principal. The company is taking its first steps in this direction with its StellarEXP superyacht models.
The StellarEXP 32 and StellarEXP 37 power catamarans provide the space and systems’ redundancy for prolonged time away from shore. StellarPM is a two-decade-old company based in Fort Lauderdale and with offices overseas. The team has overseen several refits and new builds, plus has managed shipyards. It’s behind the StellarCat series of catamarans, too. The new StellarEXP series provides buyers with all-metal yachts, further with different configurations and power packages depending on desires.
For instance, the StellarEXP 32 is a 105-foot (32-meter) trideck with a beam of 38 feet (11.6 meters). Her anticipated 3,400-nautical-mile range is approximately equivalent to a transatlantic crossing. The steel hull and aluminum superstructure meet the materials expectations of many cruisers who yearn to visit far-flung areas, too. Choose between an extended, strengthened upper deck, especially for tender stowage, or a shorter upper deck and main-deck tender stowage. The upper-deck configuration frees room below for an infinity pool (above). Construction will take place at StellarPM’s shipyard in Vietnam, with naval architecture by Ginton Naval Architects.
Ginton Naval Architects is behind the StellarEXP 37, too, a 131-footer (37-meter). Her beam is 41 feet (12.58 meters). Just like her smaller sister, she offers tender stowage on the upper deck or main deck. Since she’s longer, though, you can fit a tender up to 41 feet (12.5 meters) onboard.
Interiors for the StellarEXP series are for you to tailor to your liking. Both yachts can include up to five staterooms for you and your guests, along with three crew cabins. StellarPM’s own furniture factory will contribute to the interiors. Additionally, both models’ hulls will meet Lloyd’s Register construction standards, with full class compliance available as well.
Interestingly, StellarPM is offering both power cat models in all-aluminum versions with higher-horsepower engines. In these cases, you get higher top speeds and cruising speeds, though you do also sacrifice some range. Specifically, both the StellarEXP 32and StellarEXP 37 can have twin 1,800-Caterpillars. Max end should be 22 knots, while best range should be 2,400 nautical miles.
Regardless of model version, StellarPM says delivery is 20 months from contract signing.
