SLOW POKE Motor yacht for sale

Originally launched in 2000, the iconic 27.5m (90.2ft) Doggersbank explorer has been completely reimagined as SLOW POKE, a boutique superyacht that artfully blends timeless design with bold, contemporary character. Following an extensive multi-million dollar refit completed in 2021 by Safe Harbor Lauderdale Marine Center, SLOW POKE now stands as a one-of-a-kind pocket explorer built for adventure, comfort, and effortless elegance.

Designed by Vripack and constructed by Kuipers, SLOW POKE boasts a proven all-steel hull and aluminum superstructure. With a new 2.5-meter hull extension, CFD-optimised bulbous bow, and enhanced naval architecture, this refit delivers +2 knots of cruising speed and 10% improved fuel efficiency – making long-range voyages smoother and more sustainable.

Inside, SLOW POKE has accommodation for six guests in three beautifully appointed cabins. SLOW POKE offers the ambience of a chic, high-end residence – complete with bold colour palettes, cherry wood paneling, and luxurious retro finishes. From the glossy blues of the guest cabins to the Porsche-inspired tones in the master suite, every detail has been meticulously curated for a calming yet captivating on board experience.

The enlarged aft swim platform – with hydraulic steps, heated outdoor shower, and tender landing – provides direct and seamless access to the water. Whether you're launching watersports, enjoying a morning coffee on the aft deck, or soaking in the views from the flybridge, SLOW POKE delivers the ultimate indoor-outdoor lifestyle for serious explorers.

SLOW POKE offers the serenity and soul of a much larger vessel, with the intimacy and manoeuvrability of a true pocket explorer. Her current owner, a passionate yachtsman and pilot, calls her the perfect three-night escape – a seaworthy, soul-soothing retreat that's always ready to cruise.

SLOW POKE is powered by twin Caterpillar 3406C DI-TA engines boasting 300HP each allowing her to cruise at 10 knots and achieve a maximum speed of 12 knots.
