DESTINY — Fifth Ocean Yachts 24m Explorer Yacht
DESTINY is a 24-meter custom explorer motor yacht built by Fifth Ocean Yachts / Fifth Ocean Shipyard in Ukraine. Delivered in 2014, she represents the shipyard’s philosophy of building strong, practical and long-range yachts with a focus on seaworthiness, autonomy and comfortable cruising.
Built with a steel hull and aluminum superstructure, DESTINY was designed as a compact but capable displacement explorer yacht. Her exterior design and naval architecture were developed by Ginton Naval Architects, giving the yacht a purposeful, robust and timeless profile. Unlike many yachts in this size range that are primarily focused on speed and short coastal cruising, DESTINY was created for owners who value range, safety, efficiency and the ability to spend extended time on board.
At approximately 23.9 meters / 78 feet 5 inches in length, with a beam of around 6.65 meters / 21 feet 10 inches, DESTINY offers impressive interior volume for her size. Her wide beam, displacement hull form and practical layout create a comfortable platform for private cruising, family use or charter-style operation.
One of the key strengths of DESTINY is her explorer-yacht character. The yacht is designed for long-distance cruising, efficient operation and confident passagemaking. Her steel construction provides strength and durability, while her aluminum superstructure helps reduce weight above the waterline. This combination is commonly found on serious long-range yachts and is highly valued by owners who prioritize safety and structural integrity.
DESTINY is powered by twin Caterpillar diesel engines, giving her an efficient cruising profile and a top speed of approximately 11–11.5 knots. With substantial fuel capacity and economical displacement performance, she is well suited for extended cruising programs where range, reliability and operational efficiency are more important than high speed.
The yacht offers accommodation for up to 7–8 guests in 4 cabins, depending on configuration. The guest layout includes a full-beam master cabin, a VIP cabin, and additional guest cabins, all designed to provide comfort and privacy. Each cabin is arranged with practical storage and ensuite facilities, making DESTINY suitable for longer stays on board.
The interior of DESTINY has a warm and comfortable atmosphere, combining practical yacht design with a relaxed residential feel. The main salon offers a welcoming space for guests to gather, dine and relax. Large windows bring natural light into the living areas, while the overall layout supports both private family cruising and entertaining.
Outdoor spaces are another important feature of DESTINY. The aft deck provides an excellent area for al fresco dining, while the upper deck and sun deck areas offer additional seating, relaxation zones and open-air enjoyment. These exterior areas make the yacht particularly attractive for Mediterranean-style cruising, island hopping and spending long days at anchor.
DESTINY also includes proper crew accommodation, allowing the yacht to be operated professionally. This is an important advantage in the 24-meter segment, as it allows the owner and guests to enjoy the yacht with privacy while maintaining efficient service and safe operation.
From a brokerage perspective, DESTINY is an interesting yacht because she is not a typical mass-production motor yacht. She is a custom-built compact explorer with serious construction, practical engineering and distinctive character. For buyers looking for a long-range displacement yacht, she offers a rare combination of manageable size, steel construction, comfortable accommodation and genuine cruising capability.
DESTINY is especially well suited for an owner who wants more than a weekend yacht. She is designed for someone who appreciates the idea of real travel by sea — longer passages, extended time on board, quiet displacement cruising and the confidence of a strong hull beneath them.
Compared with many faster fiberglass yachts of similar length, DESTINY offers a very different ownership experience. She is less about maximum speed and more about substance: strength, range, safety, comfort and independence. This makes her a strong candidate for clients considering explorer yachts, compact expedition yachts, trawler-style motor yachts or long-range displacement vessels.
Overall, DESTINY is a distinctive 24-meter explorer yacht with solid Ukrainian construction, European naval architecture and a practical layout for serious cruising. She represents the essence of the Fifth Ocean Yachts concept: a robust, efficient and comfortable yacht built for owners who want to travel further, stay longer and enjoy the sea with confidence.

Exterior Deck Areas
The exterior deck areas of
Aft Deck
The aft deck is one of DESTINY’s most inviting outdoor living areas. Protected by the upper deck overhang, it offers a comfortable shaded space for dining, relaxing and entertaining. A built-in upholstered seating area wraps around a teak dining table, creating a practical and welcoming setting for al fresco meals or casual gatherings with family and guests.
The teak decking, stainless-steel supports and clean white superstructure give the aft deck a bright and classic yacht atmosphere. The space is well connected to the main salon through large glass doors, allowing an easy flow between the interior and exterior living areas. This makes the aft deck ideal for breakfast at anchor, evening cocktails or relaxed dining while enjoying the marina or sea views.
A staircase from the aft deck leads directly to the upper deck, providing convenient access to the yacht’s additional outdoor entertainment areas. Wide side decks extend forward from this level, allowing safe and practical movement around the yacht.
Side Decks
DESTINY features wide, teak-laid side decks that run along both sides of the main deck. These walkways are protected by high stainless-steel railings and substantial bulwarks, offering safe and comfortable access between the aft deck, foredeck and operational areas.
Large tinted windows along the superstructure bring natural light into the interior while also giving the exterior a modern and elegant appearance. The covered sections of the side decks provide added protection from sun and weather, supporting comfortable movement around the yacht in different conditions.
The side decks are particularly important for an explorer-style yacht, as they provide practical working space for crew, easy line handling and secure guest circulation. On DESTINY, these areas feel wide, solid and thoughtfully arranged, reinforcing the yacht’s serious cruising capability.
Upper Deck / Bridge Deck
The upper deck offers an excellent outdoor entertainment and utility area. The deck is teak-laid and fitted with a built-in outdoor galley/barbecue station, including a stainless-steel grill, countertop space, sink and storage. This creates a highly functional area for outdoor cooking and entertaining.
This space is ideal for relaxed lunches, evening grilling or casual time outdoors while at anchor. The open layout provides excellent visibility around the yacht and makes the upper deck a versatile area for both guest enjoyment and practical use.
The upper deck also provides storage and tender/toy handling space, with visible equipment storage and open working areas. Stainless-steel railings and substantial deck hardware underline the yacht’s practical, ocean-going character.
Foredeck / Bow Area
The foredeck aboard DESTINY is a large and highly functional working deck, finished in teak and fitted with substantial stainless-steel deck hardware. The area includes heavy-duty windlasses, anchoring equipment, fairleads, cleats and high safety rails, all arranged for secure and efficient anchoring operations.
The bow area has the feel of a true explorer yacht: strong, practical and designed for real use. There is generous space for crew to work safely when anchoring, mooring or handling lines. The high bulwarks and stainless-steel rails provide additional security, while the teak decking adds classic yacht character.
Forward seating and integrated deck details add a refined touch to this otherwise very practical area, making the foredeck both functional and visually attractive. The arrangement reflects DESTINY’s long-range cruising purpose, where safe deck operations and durable equipment are essential.
Swim Platform / Stern Area
At the stern, DESTINY features a practical swim platform and boarding area, providing convenient access from the dock or water. The stern design is solid and purposeful, consistent with the yacht’s explorer profile. Stainless-steel rails and boarding arrangements support safe access, while the transom area provides useful space for watersports, tender access or marina boarding.
The swim platform enhances the yacht’s usability at anchor, allowing guests to enjoy swimming, water activities and easy access to tenders. It also contributes to the overall practicality of DESTINY as a cruising yacht designed for extended time on board.
