A t the 2025 Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show, Cheoy Lee Yachts will present detailed plans for its brand-new Discovery Series — a next-generation line of luxury explorer yachts — while also debuting the impressive 130 Explorer, the latest evolution in the brand’s award-winning megayacht craftsmanship.
“Cheoy Lee has been building large yachts capable of long-range voyaging for more than 70 years, combining fine artisanship and luxury amenities with cutting-edge technology and commercial maritime practicality. We are proud to have the opportunity at FLIBS to introduce plans for the Discovery Series. This robust new explorer yacht line and the new Cheoy Lee 130, truly showcase the modern yacht building capability of our family shipyard,” said Cheoy Lee Shipyards Executive Director B.Y. Lo.
The 130 Explorer recently was delivered to her owner and returned from extended cruising adventures. During the show, she will be available for viewing by appointment only. Alongside the new 130 Explorer, sister brand CL Yachts will also showcase at FLIBS its family-friendly cruisers – CLB72 and CLB65 – each designed for effortless performance and refined living.
The Discovery Series explorer yachts, designed by Nick Boksa of Boksa Marine Design in collaboration with Cheoy Lee Yachts, has evolved into an exciting new line of long-range, steel-hulled megayachts including (to date) the Discovery 115, Discovery 120 and Discovery 127. Boksa, like Cheoy Lee, draws on an extensive background in both commercial and leisure marine projects in designing these compact and exceptionally efficient, go-anywhere explorers. Their high-volume layouts feature the same level styling and luxury amenities typical of a larger explorer yacht, from the bridge deck master suite on the Discovery 115 to the spacious beach club on the Discovery 120 to the generous sundeck complete with bar, grill, spa tub and multiple seating areas on the Discovery 127.
It’s not just about style and space, however – Cheoy Lee approaches the engineering and construction of its superyachts in the same way it tackles commercial projects, and that means robust systems design and inherent reliability with commercial-level equipment to ensure self-sufficiency and issue-free operation even when cruising far from the beaten track.
“The Discovery series draws on everything we know about building seaworthy global cruisers and hardy, reliable commercial vessels and workboats, and combines it all into an elegant, contemporary ocean-going yacht that delivers luxurious world cruising without compromise on facilities or service,” said Lo.
