Outer Reef Yachts is proud to announce the successful completion of the all-new 780 Adventure, a 24-meter steel-hulled explorer yacht, meticulously built at the Outer Reef Netherlands shipyard. The yacht's recent launch was marked by a private celebration, honoring this significant milestone.

Built to CE Category "A" standards for unrestricted ocean navigation, and with optional MCA SCV Code compliance, the 780 Adventure embodies the fusion of robust engineering and elegant design. Her fast displacement steel hull and superstructure ensure exceptional durability, while a refined interior layout supports long-range cruising in comfort.

Powered by twin Cummins QSB 6.7 engines (2 x 425 hp), she reaches a top speed of 12.4 knots, cruises efficiently at 11.4 knots, and delivers an impressive range of up to 3,000 nautical miles at 7 knots. With a fuel capacity of 15,000 liters and Sidepower Vector Fins stabilizers, she offers superior performance and sea handling. Optional upgraded engines can take her to a maximum of 18 knots and 12 knots cruising speeds.

At 140 gross tons, with a beam of 6.75 meters and a draft of 1.90 meters, the 780 Adventure offers generous accommodations, including flexible guest and crew layouts: two VIP cabins, two twin guest staterooms, and crew quarters with two double cabins.

Outdoor living is equally well-considered, with a large swim platform, expansive sunbathing zones, and a forward lounge featuring a wet bar and Omega-shaped sofa. A 1000kg capacity crane positioned forward enables seamless deployment of tenders and water toys, with ample storage in the lower deck lazarette.

The 780 Adventure marks a new generation of explorer yachts, combining steel construction and long-range capabilities with lifestyle-focused design and customizability. She will soon set off on her maiden voyage and is scheduled to arrive in the South of France within the next month or so, where she will be also available for private retail inspections.
