Our mission

Introduction by the founder RICCARDO RADICE

My whole life in the nautical sector.
My great passion for boating always motivated me to involve and convey this feeling to as many people as possible.

My mission has always been to satisfy customers by helping them to live in environments that are desired and dreamed by them, as my training as an architect taught me.
In all these years I have realised that the biggest obstacle keeping potential sea lovers away from sailing is SAFETY. That fundamental and indispensable feeling of being relaxed at all times and in all weather conditions. The nautical sector, fascinating and attractive, is little known to most people and the sea remains a dangerous place for many. This is why I have decided to put 'SAFETY' at the forefront of my new projects.Explorer 62, the first new addition to the Explorer range, is a project that has evolved over 3 intense and fruitful years of study and research.
Everything has been thought out and designed to keep the initial promise: MAXIMUM SAFETY. Like a big explorer ship, the new Explorer 62 can navigate in all seas and under any weather conditions, making its guests feel safe and comfortable, every single day of the year.

History

The logo of the new LOY Srl shipyard is the head of an elephant embellished with two aquamarines simulating its eyes.
The elephant, a symbol of power and strength but also of security and spirituality, well represents the features of these new yachts.
A powerful animal evoking the spirit of exploration, for many centuries used for fascinating journeys and great adventures, it is also incredibly recognised as the best land swimmer; some species are capable of swimming up to 50 km in the sea. The stylised head symbol in a modern design is intended to convey a unique and unmistakable impression.

"The elephant is in memory of my father. Sessa has used for years it with its trunk raised as a symbol of good luck. The helm of the new Explorers will carry this brand, and it will remind me forever of the most important man in my life"

The safety

Maximum safety on board

LIFE-SAVING BULB

The straight hull with life-saving bulb, completely watertight and insulated, has the function of breaking any objects that get in the way of the yacht's navigation such as logs, floating objects, containers and any ice formations. The bulb is made entirely of fibreglass, located in the lower front part of the boat, and is designed to protect the hull and the Volvo Penta IPS pods.

DOUBLE SYSTEMS AND DOUBLE ANCHORS

Bilge and autoclave pumps, double anchor system, two winches and two 50 kg steel anchors. With her double systems, she is the only vessel under 20 metres to have a large-ship anchorage system.
