The new and remarkable vessel redefines luxury exploring, offering versatility for all boating enthusiasts. The vessel can travel up to 5000-7000nm, depending on tank selection. It has a maximum range of 5000-7000nm.
“The Archipelago 80 represents ultimate versatility in a sub-24m owner-operator platform, and the embodiment of our commitment to delivering exceptional experiences on the water,” said Dr. Stephen Weatherley, Founder of Archipelago. “The vessel was designed for a visionary owner who shares our passion for pushing the boundaries of boating. I am very excited to see this project come to life and welcome the customer onboard for some unforgettable journeys at sea.”
The Archipelago 80 is a vessel that maintains the core Archipelago values: safety, simplicity and speed. It also features a shallow draft. This critical element, which has a 1 meter draft, allows the vessel’s operation in shallow water up to 1 meter deep. It is designed to go anywhere and do anything. Standard features include diesel-electric propulsion with solar panels of 20kW. Owners have the option to choose from a variety of propulsion options, including waterjets or variable pitch propellers.
The Archipelago 80 features a large, open-plan interior with a day galley and bar, giving guests panoramic views as they relax or dine onboard. In addition to a main galley with a combination laundry or workspace accessible either from the living areas or cockpit, the wheelhouse also serves as a flexible living space.

With precision and attention, Archipelago Yachts offers a range of high-quality finishes for the interior that can be tailored to individual requirements.
A hot tub can be integrated into the vessel’s structure. It also has the option to deploy a kite paravane, which reduces fuel consumption. A Portuguese bridge provides additional security, while the boat’s significant roof area accommodates solar panels or extra storage facilitated by the knuckle boom crane.
With a maximum range of 5000-7000nm, this vessel is unmatched for adventure and exploration. The top deck can be fitted with a high capacity helipad to allow owners to travel between sea and land in style.
