Wingsail Explorer Yachts
ScrollWho we are
Wind Voyage was founded on a single conviction: that an explorer yacht can be built to be genuinely eco and efficient using technology that already exists, applied with intent rather than gesture.
We brought together the team who built the world's fastest racing multihulls, the engineers behind the most advanced wind-assisted commercial vessels in service today, and over twenty-five years of experience delivering serious explorer yachts for UHNW clients. The result is the Wind Voyage range—a cohesive family of 89m and 106m wingsail explorers, designed to reach any anchorage on earth while consuming a fraction of the fuel required by conventional yachts of comparable capability.
The 106m flagship, Project MG, is under contract at Norse Shipyard for delivery in late 2028—the world’s first wind-assisted hybrid explorer yacht.
Our Partners
The most credible name in modern sail-powered design. VPLP has spent four decades at the intersection of performance sailing and naval architecture — from America's Cup campaigns to the 121m wind-assisted cargo vessel Canopée, which proved that the Oceanwings system works at commercial scale, in the open Atlantic, every day.
VPLP and Wind Voyage co-own the intellectual property on the Wind Voyage designs. Every yacht in the range is a VPLP design, refined through tank testing at MARIN in the Netherlands and extensive CFD simulation. There is no subcontracting of the core engineering.
Norse Shipyard brings European engineering standards to the hull craftsmanship that has made Turkey the natural home of serious expedition-class builds. Located on the Aegean coast, Norse combines the metallurgical rigor required for polar-capable steel hulls with the craftsmanship that custom yachts at this scale demand.
Norse was selected after an extensive yard review process. The 106m Project MG is under formal contract, signed at the Monaco Yacht Show in September 2025, with delivery scheduled for late 2028. Norse's track record in complex new builds at commercial standards made them the only credible choice for the world's first wind-assisted hybrid expedition yacht.

Leadership
Founder & Chief Executive
Paul has spent twenty-five years at the highest levels of luxury and explorer yacht sales, new builds, and conversions — representing Blohm+Voss, CRN/Ferretti Group, and Camper & Nicholsons across the Americas, and generating more than $200 million in first-year shipyard sales and overseen $500 million-plus in lifetime brokerage transactions
As principal of Xplorer Yachts in Newport, Rhode Island, he advises a select group of UHNW clients on commercial-to-expedition conversions and complex new builds — the work that gave him a precise understanding of what serious expedition owners actually require. That understanding is what the Wind Voyage range is built around.
A lifelong offshore sailor — he has competed in the SORC, Newport–Bermuda Race, and multiple transatlantic crossings. He is the producer of The Yacht Channel, one of the most followed independent maritime channels on YouTube.
