A personal vision.
An explorer’s spirit.

How do you give an explorer yacht a softer, more personal expression—and still preserve her sense of purpose?

That question shaped the ER 46. Originally commissioned by a lady client, the project invited ER Yacht Design to explore flowing curves and elegant proportions within the confident presence of a 46.6-metre explorer.

Her vision gave the studio a starting point. The task was to give it a distinctive silhouette.

Five deck levels.
One coherent profile.

Five deck levels. A private owner’s retreat above. A beach club close to the sea. Bringing this ambitious arrangement into a balanced profile became one of the project’s defining challenges.

Long ribbons of dark glazing, extended deck lines and sweeping transitions between hull and superstructure create visual continuity, bringing grace to her substantial proportions.

The intention was for the eye to follow the whole yacht, from bow to stern, and discover the details along the way.

Strong presence.
A personal expression.

For us, the appeal of the ER 46 lies in that balance: the purposeful stance of an explorer, softened by curves that give her an individual character.

She is a yacht designed to catch your attention across an anchorage—and hold it as you come closer.

Imagine a day aboard

With a beam of 9.5 metres, the proposed layout makes room for both quiet moments and time together.

At the uppermost level, the Owner’s Deck combines a private suite and sitting area with outdoor spaces and elevated sea views—a place to enjoy the morning before the rest of the yacht comes to life.

Below, the Wheelhouse Deck pairs the forward pilothouse with an intimate sky lounge opening onto an aft terrace.

The Main Deck is designed for gathering, with a welcoming salon connected to sheltered outdoor living and dining, alongside a separate interior dining room and galley.

It is easy to imagine lunch stretching into the afternoon here, with friends around the table and the anchorage beyond.

Five guest cabins occupy the Lower Deck, with crew accommodation forward. Aft, a proposed beach club, spa and gym bring relaxation closer to the water. Machinery and service facilities occupy the Bottom Deck.

Each level serves a different part of life aboard, while contributing to the exterior form.

A softer side to exploration

Inside, the proposed interior echoes the exterior’s flowing lines through softly sculpted furniture, warm pearl tones, pale timber and tactile fabrics.

Muted sage and delicate rose accents add a subtle feminine touch to spaces envisioned for quiet mornings, leisurely afternoons and evenings shared with friends.

The intention is simple: somewhere you can settle in, feel at ease and enjoy being aboard.

Conceived with a steel hull and an aluminium/composite superstructure, the ER 46 has a proposed displacement of approximately 475 tonnes and a target gross tonnage of 499 GT.
