Two Bubbles: 2024 Steeler Ocean Explorer 72
Plenty of yachts are called explorers. Two Bubbles has earned the name. She is the first Steeler ever to cross the Atlantic on her own keel, and she was built for exactly that kind of blue-water passage. Decades of offshore experience shaped every decision aboard, from a round-bilge steel hull to fully redundant systems. The result is a yacht that is capable, comfortable, and ready for true long-range cruising.
Aboard, she feels open and livable for weeks at a time. An owner-operator layout sleeps seven guests in three staterooms, and a full-beam flybridge gives you a second helm and a crane-launched tender for exploring ashore. Below the waterline, twin MAN commercial diesels and an integrated double-bottom fuel system deliver a range most yachts her size can't match.

Build Your Steeler: Meet the Team at FLIBS
Every Steeler is engineered and built around its owner. Some owners want a steel-hulled explorer for high-latitude cruising. Others want an aluminum performance yacht built for Mediterranean afternoons. Steeler works with both metals, choosing the right hull, superstructure, propulsion, and engineering package for how each yacht will be used.
HMY's Steeler team will be on hand to talk through custom builds, from first sketches and general arrangements to the details that make a yacht yours.
Whether you're ready to commission a new build, are considering an in-market Steeler, or just want to understand what metal construction can offer, we invite you to visit HMY Yacht Sales at the 2026 Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show.
