cheoy lee 127 discovery
State of Harmony

Striking a perfect balance between consummate luxury and serviceable practicality, the Cheoy Lee 127 Discovery has everything you would expect to find in a 150-foot steel-hulled megayacht, expertly engineered into a compact and efficient explorer.

The 127 Discovery’s classic lines echo the capable looks of a commercial vessel. The pilothouse is far forward for optimum visibility. The yacht’s center of gravity is intentionally low for comfort at sea, with the tender on the aft main deck rather than the flybridge. The beach club is located inside the transom hatch, which can be closed for safety.

Inside its confidence-inspiring exterior, the 127 Discovery encompasses a wealth of luxurious living spaces and amenities. There are five ensuite staterooms, including a full-beam, main-deck master. The formal salon and dining area are designed for gracious entertaining, while the bridge deck sky lounge is where the party really gets going.

The 127 Discovery springs from a collaboration between Cheoy Lee Shipyards and Nick Boksa of Boksa Marine Design. Drawing on his extensive background in both commercial and leisure vessel design, Boksa gave this explorer yacht a traditional steel displacement hull with a sharp entry and spray chine. The hull has been subject to extensive computational fluid dynamics (CFD) studies, ensuring its stability, seakindliness, and efficiency.

 

The mission statement for this yacht is to support luxurious transoceanic adventures. To that end, particular attention has been paid to optimizing the service areas on board. While the yacht can be operated with a smaller crew, there are comfortable quarters for up to 11, including a bridge-deck captain’s cabin – rare on a yacht of this size. Two crew lounges give the staff ample places to refresh during a long voyage. A dumbwaiter facilitates food service on all four decks.

 

Building on a 150-year heritage of constructing award-winning leisure and commercial vessels, the family-owned Cheoy Lee Shipyards manufactures the Explorer Series yachts with a combination of traditional craftsmanship, cutting-edge technology and strict attention to detail. Cheoy Lee’s use of commercial-level systems and equipment for its yachts assures their self-sufficiency and minimizes the risk of breakdowns when voyaging off the beaten path.

The Cheoy Lee 127 Discovery makes the most of every inch of space on its four decks.

 

On the sundeck, the hardtop shades an outdoor bar area with two sinks, two refrigerators and BBQ grill, along with a convenient day head. Aft, the Jacuzzi and sunlounge create a spa experience with soaring views.

 

A few steps down, the pilothouse is properly outfitted with a chart table and navigator’s desk. Its forward position makes for excellent views of the waters ahead. The captain’s suite is also on the bridge deck for 24/7 access.

 

Sylvia Bolton has created a classic yet comfortable interior design for the 127 Discovery. On the bridge deck, a foyer with day head leads into the large midships lounge, one of the most fun and flexible spaces on board. It can serve as a bar, media room or game-day sky box. Open the glass doors to the aft deck to create an indoor/outdoor party space complete with al fresco table.

 

On the main deck, the full-beam owner’s stateroom seems transported from a superyacht. An alcove desk, his-and-her bathrooms and closets – this suite has it all. The galley also is huge, featuring a walk-in refrigerator and freezer, and plenty of space for food prep. It serves a dining area and salon where guests are treated to stunning views through expansive windows. Side decks allow easy crew transit, giving owners and guests privacy when desired.

 

The lower deck holds four spacious guest suites, served by a dedicated pantry and washer/dryer. Forward, the crew enjoys facilities like a full laundry and large lounge typically found on a much bigger yacht. There is also an engineer’s cabin and shop off the engine room – which true to Cheoy Lee form, is a paragon of practicality. Aft, the beach club with its own day head makes an inviting getaway – and gateway to the sea.
