PUFFIN 42 ENTERS PAINT SHOP FOR THE FIRST TIME
The Puffin 42 has entered a new phase. While her hull will remain bare aluminium, the entire superstructure and cockpit will soon be beautifully painted.

PUFFIN 58 EXPLORER: THE YACHT THAT TAKES YOU ANYWHERE
Some yachts are made for easy sailing in calm waters. The Puffin 58 Explorer was built for something more.
With her extremely strong aluminum hull, she can safely dry out on any bottom and take on serious ice conditions, even handling unexpected collisions with floating objects. This is a yacht that does not hesitate when the journey gets challenging. Safety is in her DNA, with five bulkheads creating six watertight compartments, designed to keep her afloat even in the most extreme circumstances.
Step inside and the raised deck saloon offers a 360-degree panoramic view, whether you are seated or standing, always connected to the world outside. From this heart of the yacht, the transition to the cockpit, galley, and dodger flows naturally, creating a comfortable and seaworthy living space.
At the helm, the cockpit provides both shelter and control, featuring a fixed dodger that seamlessly connects to the deck saloon through a professional watertight door. It remains open to the cockpit for fresh air but can be fully enclosed with two doors, allowing for safe and heated steering from a protected position, an essential feature when sailing to the edges of the world.
And then there is her custom built aluminum unit, designed to support the davits, solar panels, and provide sun protection. Every element serves a purpose, reinforcing the philosophy behind the Puffin design. Practicality, safety, and seaworthiness, all wrapped in a timeless and classic look.
Every Puffin 58 Explorer is different, a reflection of her owner’s ambitions. While signature elements like the bowsprit, window shape, negative stern, and tumblehome define her unmistakable profile, each Puffin yacht is a semi custom project. Built to explore. Built to last.
The only question is, where will she take you first? 🌍

PUFFIN 42: FROM VISION TO REALITY
Exciting progress on the Puffin 42! Next week, her hull will be delivered to VMG Yachtbuilders, where she will move into the next phases of construction. A perfect moment to share a first look at what she will look like once completed.
We included one render that reflects the ‘standard’ design, while the others showcase the custom version, tailored specifically for her owner.
This Puffin 42 is equipped with a range of custom features, including a specially developed solar arch that extends over the entire cockpit, providing both power and shade. Designed to seamlessly integrate with the yacht, it doubles as a bimini, ensuring comfort without compromising aesthetics.
Yesterday, a key milestone was reached: the lead ballast was poured into the keel, marking an important step in her construction. We will show you more details of that process in another update. The hull is now in the final stage with SDH, already moved to her new spot for the next phases of construction at VMG.
Curious to see what she will look like? Swipe now!
