The third hull, which has just entered the outfitting stage and is to be delivered in the spring of 2025, is similar to Maverick in many ways. However, this time the owner chose a really unusual interior design option. Instead of Francesco Paszkowski and Margherita Casprini who worked on the Maverick, the interior space has been entrusted to Winch Design.

For the third Flexplorer 146 the British studio has created a super eco-friendly interior featuring natural colours and “green” materials like reclaimed seashell composite, eggshell finishes, palm leather, Foresso, recycled fishing nets, woven grass and Thames wood. There will also be a “living green wall” made of preserved moss.

The standout feature of Cantiere delle Marche Flexplorer range is a forward-set superstructure, which allows for a large and spacious open aft deck, where one can store tenders, water toys and other equipment that might be useful on a long cruise.

The third Flexplorer 146 is equipped with two Caterpillar C32 Acert engines, which can deliver a top speed of 14 knots, and provide a range of 6500 nautical miles at 10 knots. This particular yacht will also have a selective catalytic reduction, which is compliant with the IMO Tier III standards and allows her to navigate in marine protected areas and sanctuaries like the Galapagos Islands.
