The motor yacht houses four staterooms situated on her lower deck, while her owner’s suite can be found on her main deck, each stateroom is equipped with an opulent ensuite. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/299492/image/large-2057dd27fb48d1d2fe970b789a119145.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/299492"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/299489/image/large-4c55fd0b925249cb8b9f7fa1f1d8efa9.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/299489">The explorer yacht Project Fox is fittingly named after Falmouth born scientist Robert Were Fox the Younger, who encouraged polar exploration in the 19th century through his development of an improved form of compass. Displaying a strong exterior and extensive 103.5-square-metre main deck aft, Project Fox has been designed with world cruising in mind and boasts a large carrying capacity for a yacht of her size. A wide variety of equipment, including watertoys, two 7.5-metre tenders, submersibles and more can be stored on the yacht’s aft deck.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/299500/image/large-c7f7df0cc903e3518168155ef041fc43.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/299500"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/299498/image/large-5bcfda10472b1e0b09444bd0b86a1413.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/299498">Notable features include the use of Tesumo as a teak-substitute across Project Fox’s exterior decks. This teak alternative is a fast-growing and sustainable wood, boasting the same positive properties as teak, including durability and stability, without the environmental footprint. The use of Tesumo decking across her entire exterior is a stand-out-feature onboard Project Fox given her size.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/299488/image/large-2d738a982a79adedde3ae304afadf408.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/299488"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/299501/image/large-3f8760c5b9c4678d922c256e7a0628e2.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/299501">Read:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.superyachttimes.com/yacht-news/pendennis-project-fox-construction-update" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="">A new era of exploration: At Pendennis with the 35m Project Fox</a>The current focus is on the final stages of the interior installation, Project Fox is due to display a bright and contemporary aesthetic, reminiscent of a coastal villa. The interior has been designed to be flexible and practical, consisting of an upper deck sky lounge, featuring a luxurious wine cellar in the lobby. The sky lounge will provide seamless access to the 46-square-metre upper deck aft, complete with a formal alfresco dining area and barbecue.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/220717/image/large-f799c97d07d211a4a2b0ff37a67c1f26.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/220717"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/220716/image/large-9241984bc2b13d9359387d90605d6629.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/220716"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/220711/image/large-db9772b2016ec81da3b5507c6d50cdbf.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/220711">The large main saloon situated on the main deck will similarly lead into a cosy lounge area.

Pendennis yacht Project Fox nears completion

The 34.9-metre Pendennis explorer yacht Project Fox is nearing completion, with an expected delivery of spring this year.

Construction update: 35m Pendennis explorer yacht Project Fox nears completion

Strong headway has been made with the construction of the 34.9-metre explorer yacht Project Fox at <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/209" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Pendennis Shipyard Ltd (Company)">Pendennis</a> and she’s on course to meet her delivery date of 2023.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/220718/image/large-158509db47bdb762e5a7a4bc4aff6355.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/220718"> Project Fox seeks to be a trailblazer in the explorer yacht segment. She offers an interior and exterior design by <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/6663" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Q London (Company)">Q London</a> laid onto a hull by <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Diana Yacht Design B.V. (Company)">Diana Yacht Design</a>, a 3,600 nautical mile range, 295 GT of interior volume and accommodation for up to eight guests. James Ratcliffe, Managing Partner of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/6663" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Q London (Company)">Q London</a>, explained that he stuck to a clean, minimalist interior design that’s flexible and easy to customise, to keep her appeal high for a wide range of potential clients. In lieu of traditional teak, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/6663" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Q London (Company)">Q London</a> opted for the more sustainable substitute, designed by Tesumo.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/220717/image/large-f799c97d07d211a4a2b0ff37a67c1f26.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/220717"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/220715/image/large-6b30f54aa3d456d4505380ee7e090ed1.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/220715">But what makes Project Fox truly unique is that her design pivots on her 103.5 square-metre main deck aft, which boasts heaps of space for tenders, toys and all the paraphernalia necessary for adventure. When deployed, the spacious main deck is versatile and can cater to an all manner of needs. Even at just 34.9-metres, Project Fox&nbsp;is self-sufficient, meaning an owner won’t need a trailing shadow or support vessel for their excursions. &nbsp;<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/220710/image/large-cc89bd7e28b1d194d05fbefa6ae9c00e.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/220710"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/220713/image/large-54153d4e5d1e3d1d3eb0b81b8abc34ce.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/220713">“Experience is the new currency. So a yacht that can deliver an experience that others can’t is becoming an increasingly relevant topic,” Sherwood added. “Project Fox proves that you don’t have to spend an 80-metre budget to have a yacht that will take you to interesting places anymore.” Even at 34.9-metres then, Project Fox is expected to rival the likes of the 76.9-metre motor yacht <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/6668" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="La Datcha76.9m (252'4&quot;)Damen Yachting2020">La Datcha</a> by <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1821" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Damen Yachting (Company)">Damen Yachtin</a>g and <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4539" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Ulstein Verft AS (Company)">Ulstein Verft AS</a>’ 88.51-metre <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/6031" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Olivia O88.51m (290'5&quot;)Ulstein Verft AS2020">Olivia O</a>.Read:&nbsp;<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Article/53850" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="In-build 35m Pendennis superyacht Project Fox offered for sale (2021-10-07 13:15:00 +0200)">In-build 35m Pendennis superyacht Project Fox offered for sale<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/220696/image/large-ea50e65d80c851c51891d57cd60f2afd.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/220696"></a>For the team at <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/159" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Burgess (Company)">Burgess</a> and <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/209" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Pendennis Shipyard Ltd (Company)">Pendennis</a>, the understanding that the ability to go anywhere takes a top priority for owners today.

Pendennis' Project Fox construction update

Strong headway has been made with the construction of the 35m explorer yacht Project Fox at Pendennis.
