Unique interior design
For the first Xplorer 60’s luxury interiors, we asked H2 Design to create a brand new custom concept. H2 has developed custom concepts for our Amels clients, while the Xplorer 60 represents our first explorer yacht collaboration.
“The interiors apply a crisp design language with a rich, bold palette and a use of warm wood. It’s comfortable, even casual. We wanted it to feel luxurious, without being heavy.”
Jonny Horsfield - Director H2 Design
About H2 Design
Director Jonny Horsfield established H2 Design in London in 1994. Since then the studio has developed an inviable reputation with a portfolio of more than 50 daring luxury yacht designs and large explorers delivered.
Upper Deck Lounge and Dining
Stepping inside on Upper Deck, the 60 square-metre Lounge and Dining (645 sq ft) is a haven of soft comfort, artwork and detailed finishes. H2’s layout is comfortable, even cosy, while keeping a bit of formality and design pedigree. Rounded forms and organic shapes bring a cosy balance to the masculine exteriors. With exceptionally high comfort and low noise and vibrations, the only reminder that you are on a highly capable expedition platform is the stunning view outside.
Warm woods, textured fabrics and satin matt finishes add to H2’s welcoming atmosphere–an oasis of comfort and style anywhere in theworld. Reflective metal surfaces play withdimensions and perception.

The full-beam Owners Suite on Main Deck is expressive and personal with luxurious fabrics, decorative leather and warm woods. The curved headboard provides a grand entrance that playfully draws you around the space – an effect amplified in the soft oval ceiling dome. Portside is a private lounge and starboard an office – while mirrors slide open to reveal the walkthrough dressing and bathroom.

and Bathrooms

The full-beam Owners Bathroom features a glass rainshower between twin vanities.
Guest Rooms & Bath Rooms
Each of the five Guest Suites on Main Deck is approx. 20 square metres (215 sq ft) - each with a different configuration and individual character. Rippled leather and soft curves create a soothing atmosphere and retain that connectivity to the ocean that is prominent throughout the yacht's Design.
H2’s designs for each Guest Suite share a peaceful atmosphere created with indirect lighting and a balanced material palette of rippled leather, white lacquer and warm woods.
Seen here (left) in the twin Guest Suite, the large Main Deck windows bring the outside in. H2 created a fluid and clean wave in the desk shape to add elegance without distracting from the view.
Private Collections
On Main Deck the corridor is floating canvas for artworks and sculptural elements. Carefully created leather wraps the wall to ceiling, where offset lighting creates an asymmetrical focus on the gallery wall. Vertical recesses beautifully illuminate your private collections. H2's interior concept for the Xplorer 60 features photography by Annelies Damen and curated art pieces.
"I love to see how clients create inspiring and evocative spaces on their yachts, drawing from experiences from travel, architecture and art to influence their design choices."
