DESTINY — Fifth Ocean Yachts 24m Explorer Yacht

Built by Fifth Ocean Yachts in Ukraine and delivered in 2014, DESTINY is a custom 24-meter explorer yacht designed for owners who value long-range capability, efficiency, and seaworthy performance over speed. With a steel hull, aluminum superstructure, and naval architecture by Ginton Naval Architects, she delivers the strength and reliability expected of a true displacement explorer.

Measuring 78'5" (23.9m) with a generous 21'10" beam, DESTINY offers exceptional interior volume and stability for her size. Powered by twin Caterpillar diesel engines, she cruises efficiently at displacement speeds with a top speed of approximately 11.5 knots, making her ideal for extended cruising and passagemaking.

Accommodations include up to 8 guests in 4 comfortable cabins, highlighted by a full-beam master suite, along with dedicated crew quarters for professional operation. The warm, inviting interior features large windows, a spacious main salon, and practical living spaces designed for extended stays aboard.

Outdoor living is equally impressive, with an aft deck perfect for alfresco dining, multiple upper-deck seating areas, and generous spaces to relax while underway or at anchor.

Her steel construction, economical operation, and practical layout make her an excellent choice for owners seeking a capable long-range cruiser with distinctive character. Whether cruising the Mediterranean, island hopping, or embarking on extended adventures, DESTINY offers a comfortable and confident platform built to travel farther.
