Project: Cheoy Lee 127 Discovery

Cheoy Lee present the 127 Discovery project, a 38 meter triple deck super yacht designed by Nick Boksa. Drawing on his extensive background in both commercial and leisure vessel design, Boksa gave this explorer yacht a traditional steel displacement hull with a sharp entry and spray chine. The hull has been subject to extensive computational fluid dynamics studies, ensuring its stability, sea kindliness, and efficiency. The mission statement for the 127 Discovery is to support luxurious transoceanic adventures. To that end, particular attention has been paid to optimizing the service areas on board. While the yacht can be operated with a smaller crew, there are comfortable quarters for up to eleven, including a bridge-deck captain’s cabin which is something rare for a yacht of this size. Two crew lounges give the staff ample places to refresh during a long voyage. The Cheoy Lee 127 Discovery makes the most of every space on its four decks with interiors designed by Sylvia Bolton. The bridge deck leads into the large midships lounge, one of the most fun and flexible spaces on board. It can serve as a bar, media room or game-day sky box. Open the glass doors to the aft deck to create an indoor/outdoor party space complete with al fresco table. On the main deck, the full-beam owner’s stateroom seems transported from a superyacht. An alcove desk, his-and-her bathrooms and closets, this suite has it all. The galley also is huge, featuring a walk-in refrigerator and freezer, and plenty of space for food prep. It serves a dining area and salon where guests are treated to stunning views through expansive windows. Side decks allow easy crew transit, giving owners and guests privacy when desired. The lower deck holds four spacious guest suites, served by a dedicated pantry and washer/dryer. Forward, the crew enjoys facilities like a full laundry and large lounge typically found on a much bigger yacht. There is also an engineer’s cabin and shop off the engine room, which true to Cheoy Lee form is a paragon of practicality. To aft is the beach club with its own day head makes an inviting getaway and gateway to the sea.

Project: Cheoy Lee 118 Tradition

Cheoy Lee is going into 2021 with full confidence and some interesting new projects.  One of the recent projects presented is the Overing designed new 118 Tradition.  The triple decked Cheoy Lee 118 Tradition offers a very conservative exterior calling out to some of the late nineties design.  The interior designed by Westhoff offers accommodation for ten guests in five cabins, including an owners stateroom on the main deck.  Located in the forward part of the lower deck will be the crew accommodation for six persons in three cabins, and a lobby with galley and saloon. Another crew cabin with two bunk berths is to be located aft by the beach area.  The Cheoy Lee 118 Tradition is to be powered by twin Cats 1600hp engines which will allow for top speeds up to 26 knots.

Project: Cheoy Lee 150 Explorer

Pushed by the signing of new designer Jon Overing and following the popularity of the Cheoy Lee long-range explorer yachts, a new generation redesign could further enhance the noteworthy efficiency of the displacement steel hull. A powerful single engine Caterpillar 1911hp, with a diesel propulsion engine forward as backup, combined with the large rudder and hydrodynamic bulbous hull, deliver 35% lower fuel consumption. This efficiency is strategic, giving better efficiency and an intent to add a "green" factor to its Explorer series.  While the Explorer yacht's heritage lies in Cheoy Lee's tradition of building durable, long-range commercial ships, the luxury consumer amenities of the model are unsurpassed by other such vessels in its class. The 150 Explorer can travel self-sustained for long distances without sacrificing a single creature comfort. The increased fuel capacity now enables travel from seven to nine thousand nautical miles, enabling exploration of multiple destinations in one cruise. The new 150 Explorer also has increased living space, in keeping with the design philosophies of Cheoy Lee. Utilizing the full capacity of the vessel's depth, piping and wiring are all conveniently located beneath the sole, easily accessible for maintenance, leaving more efficient use of space above for spacious cabins, salon and galley areas.  The Cheoy Lee 150 Explorer's three and a half deck layout provides for great interior volume and versatility.

Project: Cheoy Lee 111

With exceptional interior and exterior volume, the Choey Lee 111 yacht has crossover appeal for both the Express and traditional motor yacht customer. Increased fuel capacity, length and luxurious amenities will lend a motor yacht feel, complemented by a modern two deck and a half looks. The 111 adds a new dimension to the Cheoy Lee line up of yachts and super yachts and wants to tick customers who come from its Alpha range or similar European looking competing brands.  Powered by twin 1900hp Cat engines the 111 has some impressive cruise numbers at 10 knots economic speeds which give a two thousand nautical miles range. Non the less the 111 can be pushed to a max speed of 24 knots, and 21 fast cruise.

Project: Cheoy Lee 83 Serenity

Cheoy Lee presents the project for a full displacement super yacht set to launch in about a years time, the 83 Serenity. This new member of the Cheoy Lee Serenity range is a seaworthy and economical yacht which takes some roots from trawler explorer style small ships. Designed by Michael Burvenich, the 83 Serenity is available in two different forms, a more traditional canoe stern design, or a European model, this last including a Euro-transom with twin stairs from the aft deck to the swim platform. The Euro transom can also be configured with an optional passarelle. The hull is designed with flatter sections aft that enables the hull to run faster than a traditional displacement shape of the same water line length, yet still calculated to be approximately 30% more efficient at cruising speed than a similar sized semi-displacements at equivalent speeds. The interior layout will be a split level saloon offering a relaxing lounge upon entrance with a C-shaped sofa to starboard, a bar with three stools, and dining table. Further forward and up a step is the working area of the main deck where will be a separate galley, day head, and the helm station room which also features an L-shaped settee to starboard. Below accommodation is a three double stateroom in the forward section, with the owners room to mid ship. Aft are two double crew cabins both with en-suite head. Power for the Cheoy Lee 83 Serenity will be from twin 660hp Cats with an optional of an independent hybrid system by Siemens which is powered by the generators. www.cheoylee.com

Project: Cheoy Lee 59 Serenity

In 2008 Cheoy Lee launched the first yacht in the Serenity Series, a 68 footer based on the efficiencies of a true displacement hull with long range explorer yacht features. The line’s flagship will be the new Serenity 83, currently under construction. The Serenity 59, shown in the picture above, is the third model in the series, and should launch before the end of the year and the first two hulls will be delivered to Australia and Florida. Mike Burvenich designed the three stateroom yacht with a large walk in lazarette aft of the engine room. New Zealand’s High Modulus designed the composite structure, subsequently granted Germanischer Lloyd class certification. A solid, hand laid hull with double bottom tanks, resin infused decks, bulkheads and superstructure provides a tough configuration, combined with a low center of gravity and hence stability. Single and twin engine configurations will be available, both with full propeller protection. Estimated range on the standard 7500 litres fuel tanks is 2000nm at nine knots, and over 4000nm at seven knots with a single engine set up. The standard single engine package is a John Deere 330hp. Twin John Deere 236hp engines are the factory option, although other configuration powers are available.
