Steeler Yachts proudly announces the successful maiden voyage of the Ocean Explorer 22M, marking the beginning of a new chapter for an experienced world traveler. The yacht, christened Two Bubbles, departed on her first sea trial on the North Sea, demonstrating the performance, safety, and comfort that have become the hallmarks of the Steeler brand.

Constructed with a robust steel hull and lightweight aluminium superstructure, Two Bubbles is built for serious passagemaking, including her planned transatlantic journey. With a cruising speed of ten knots and a top speed of thirteen, she delivers both range and efficiency. Her Awl Grip paint system provides enduring protection and an industry-leading gloss rate exceeding 95%, setting a superyacht standard that Steeler consistently strives for.
