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 Centre, 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 aluminium superstructure. With a new 2.5-meter hull extension, CFD-optimized 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 6 guests in 3 beautifully appointed cabins. SLOW POKE offers the ambience of a chic, high-end residence—complete with bold colour palettes, cherry wood panelling, 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 onboard 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 water sports, 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.
