Recent upgrades

Meticulously maintained, this yacht benefits from a host of meaningful updates: in January 2026 the stabilizer fin seals were replaced, the bottom received fresh paint and a Propspeed application, the fire suppression system was fully serviced, and a new Simrad autopilot was installed, while a new A/C chiller was added in 2024 to ensure reliable climate control.

Interior

A rich Sapele wood interior sets the tone, with Sapele wood on the main deck and in the lower cabins, complemented by custom upholstery throughout and interior soft goods replaced in 2013. The ambiance is enhanced by an Italian door handle package in gold and matching gold push/pull German latches, while a removable white vinyl headliner panel system pairs with foam headliner throughout the vessel for a quiet, refined finish. A recessed tray ceiling elevates the salon, Roman shades dress each stateroom, the main salon, and the galley, and closet lighting operates on micro switches for effortless convenience. Illumination is both elegant and versatile, featuring gold Canaloupe 24v LED ceiling lights together with twelve additional Cantalupi Viareggio interior lights, all managed through Vimar light switches with nine dimmers to set the perfect mood. Practical luxury continues with a Quicklift custom elevator serving all three decks and including one folding chair, serviced in August 2016. Thoughtful personal interior upgrades and additions over the standard specification complete this sophisticated and meticulously detailed environment.

Salon and foyer

In the salon, a granite credenza pairs with a matching granite bar top, while the bar area is grounded by a granite floor for a sleek, enduring finish. A glass cocktail table enhances the seating arrangement, and architectural detailing includes two wooden columns along with two six-inch columns at the center console and buffet, creating symmetry and an elegant sense of division. In the foyer, a marble console top with columns offers a refined welcome, complemented by a GE white washer/dryer for discreet convenience. Entertaining is elevated by a U-Line ice maker in the salon, finished in black with a sapele panel, and a U-Line wine cooler featuring a stainless-steel glass front with retractable doors.

Dining area

Anchoring the space is a dining room table with a glass top, accompanied by eight dining chairs, creating an elegant setting for refined onboard dining.

Galley

The galley is appointed with a granite countertop and a double stainless steel sink, complemented by a slider on the table and pocket sliding doors that maximize space and flow. A custom pantry provides tailored storage. Appliances include an upgraded GE Profile stainless steel refrigerator above standard; two Sub-Zero refrigerator drawers with Sapele-panel fronts and two Sub-Zero freezer drawers with matching Sapele panels; an upgraded GE Profile stainless steel cooktop paired with a stainless steel oven above standard; a GE Profile stainless steel telescopic hood; a GE Spacemaker stainless steel microwave; and a Bosch dishwasher. Convenience details extend to an ISE instant hot water dispenser in chrome with a stainless steel hot water tank, a GE stainless steel trash compactor, and a GE black disposal.

Master

The master suite is appointed with a full walk-in, custom shower finished in marble walls behind elegant glass doors, highlighted by a luxuriant rain-head fixture and two dedicated shelves for shampoos and bottles. The head features a marble floor, while the master bath is thoughtfully equipped with grab bars for added confidence. Privacy and comfort are enhanced by an additional layer of insulation on the master stateroom bulkhead, and sliding shoji screens lend a refined, tranquil ambiance. The vanity’s lift-up mirrored top is illuminated for effortless grooming, and mirrors on the back of the double closet doors amplify light and space. Practicality meets precision with drawers on full-extension slides for complete access, complemented by two his-and-hers Headhunter toilets with remote control operation and a secure safe for valuables.

Vip

The VIP suite is anchored by a walk-around bed in Majilite, framed by Bombay‑rattan with 1/8" foam wall upholstery that blends tactile richness with lasting comfort. Storage is effortlessly practical with drawers on full‑extension slides, while the ensuite invites indulgence with a rain head shower head and two shelves in the shower for neatly arranged essentials. A marble floor in the head completes the space with a quiet, refined elegance.

Guest cabins

Thoughtfully arranged for flexible accommodation, twin beds are fitted in the starboard and other guest cabins, while the starboard guest cabin also incorporates a discreet Pullman berth to accommodate an additional guest. The head features a marble floor, imparting an elegant, refined finish.

The aft crew cabin provides a single berth tucked behind a pocket door, with lift-up steps granting access to storage beneath the stairway and a dedicated hanging locker within the crew quarters. Forward, the crew area is thoughtfully appointed with a kitchenette featuring L-shaped seating, a GE white washer/dryer, and a GE stainless-steel ice maker/fridge. Accommodations here include a bunk cabin and a double captain’s cabin, both served by a shared head with shower.

Skylounge

The skylounge invites relaxation and effortless entertaining, featuring a convenient dayhead, a built‑in corner couch with generous integrated storage, and one mirror elegantly set into the elevator door to enhance light and amplify the sense of space.

Deck

Purposeful design meets refined detail across the decks, beginning with a robust fiberglass swim platform with ladder and a built-in hand-held shower, complemented by fiberglass main and lower decks and nonskid surfaces forward, upper aft, and at the transom. A ten-inch-wide nonskid brow above the windshield enhances protection, while easy access to all helm dashboard controls and gauges underscores the yacht’s thoughtful ergonomics. All handrails, stanchions, and fittings are crafted in stainless steel 316 alloy, including one-and-one-half-inch stanchions, a stainless steel aft deck door frame, a stainless steel ladder from the boat deck to the roof, and a stainless steel six-inch base for the boat-deck table. The swim platform is fully outfitted with five U-shaped handrails, two U-shaped stanchions at the corners, a pop-up cleat at center, and two L-shaped corner cleats, while the vessel carries eight stainless steel cleats and two roller hawsers on the aft deck for secure mooring.

Access and protection are first rate with a stainless steel frame hatch on the foredeck with grey Lexan cover, a Lexan hatch connecting the aft deck to the flybridge deck, three Freeman hatches, and an automatic electric sliding door on the aft deck. A watertight door with a Hargrave backlit name plate graces the transom, and an additional divider at the chain locker adds smart utility. The anchoring suite is equally comprehensive, led by a Maxwell Nilson Bow Windlass 4000 with a 250 lb stainless steel 316 plow anchor and 300' Hi-Tensil chain, with remote windlass operation from both pilothouse and flybridge. A stainless steel backing plate reinforces the anchor locker hatches, bow locker hatches, and the inspection hatch at the swim platform, and a custom storage locker neatly houses the boarding ladder. Two city water inlets, two TV/telephone inlets, and three freshwater washdowns positioned at the bow, aft deck, and flybridge streamline shore connections and maintenance, while three windshield wipers with blades ensure clear views in all conditions.

On-deck amenities elevate outdoor living. A hardtop extension aft of the skylounge, supported by two stainless steel supports, shelters a convivial flybridge bar, while a Hargrave-style mast crowns the profile. Illumination is artfully considered, with LED lights under the fins of the radar arch and on the aft deck, two outside chrome lights on the outer deck overhang—one on each side—and six underwater lights for dramatic evening ambiance. Black textile front window covers and flybridge vinyl seat covers preserve finishes with stylish practicality.

Entertaining is effortless with an aft deck bar cabinet topped in GRP, a U-Line white fridge on the aft deck, and a U-Line white ice maker on the boat deck. Culinary options abound thanks to two Electric Chef stainless grills—one on the aft deck and one on the boat deck—and a freezer box with a 120-volt power outlet, new in 2015. Seating and dining are beautifully arranged with a teak tabletop on the boat deck served by six teak chairs, while the aft deck features bench seating, five teak aft deck chairs, and a teak table on a fixed pedestal with sliding hardware and a hi-lo mechanism. Two handrails slope gracefully down from the boat deck, adding both safety and style.

Safety and tender handling are thoroughly addressed. The yacht carries two eight-person life rafts and a full safety package including life jackets, fenders, fire extinguishers, dock lines, flares, and a dual-plug phone/TV cord. Boarding is simplified with Marquipt sea stairs, and launch and retrieval are handled by a Quick Lift two-thousand-pound low-profile davit with hydraulic rotation, serviced in August 2016. Signaling is assured with a dual chrome-plated horn and authoritative Kahlenberg air horns. Ample storage areas on the forward deck further enhance the yacht’s readiness for extended cruising.

Electronics

The helm is commanded by a Simrad FU80 autopilot, new in 2025, paired with a Danforth 6-inch compass for unwavering course-keeping. Situational awareness is elevated by a Furuno 48-mile radar, Nobeltec GPS with Nobeltec speed and distance logs, and a Garmin 545 GPS, all presented across four LG 24-inch navigation displays complemented by four additional monitors dedicated to the electronics suite. Clear communication comes via two ICOM IC-M604 units and three ICOM 72 VHF radios, while precise vessel feedback is provided by a rudder angle indicator and a wind/speed indicator. A 2025 Garmin depth display and a 2025 Garmin wind speed and direction display further refine real-time data at a glance, and Cat instruments at the helm present tach, oil pressure, engine temperature, transmission pressure, and hours. Night operations are confidently supported by ACR spotlights. All audio-visual and navigational equipment was installed at the factory, with an entertainment and connectivity package that includes Direct TV satellite, a KVH satellite system for WiFi and phones, a Wave WiFi system, and televisions throughout.

Engine and mechanical

Designed for confident passagemaking and quiet, efficient operation, the machinery spaces are meticulously outfitted. Fuel and water service begins with 1 7/8 deck fills for fuel and water feeding a 600-gallon stainless steel water tank, complemented by a sea chest and a fresh water filling faucet in the engine room. Domestic supply is delivered by a high-volume 24v Groco water pressure pump (30 lb) working in concert with an in-line recirculating hot water pump, two water heaters to forty gallons, and a Sea Recovery Inc. 1400 GPD water maker. Waste handling is equally robust with a 100-gallon holding tank with indicator, a Y-valve for dockside pump-out, five sump tanks with covers, four Lovett sump pumps, and a Jabsco emergency bilge pump with three pick-ups.

The engine room itself is engineered for strength, safety, and low noise. It features a single layer of sound and heat insulation in the engine room bulkheads forward and aft and across the ceiling, white perforated insulation panels, and additional protection via a double-insulated engine room and watertight bulkheads. Ventilation and service power are abundant, with four Jabsco engine compartment blowers, four engine room blowers, and 24v lights and 110v power receptacles, four each, strategically positioned. Access is straightforward through an engine room entry hatch with ladder on the aft deck. Exhaust is handled by a custom underwater engine exhaust with idle by-pass and a muffler installed on the exhaust by-pass, plus water drop exhaust to two generators.

Control and handling systems are comprehensive. A Naiad hydraulic bow thruster HPS-36hp is paired with a 36 hp stern thruster, while hydraulic steering by Hynautic is fully adaptable to auto-pilot. Ride comfort and stability come from a Naiad stabilizer system Model 302 with a 9 sq. ft. fin with multisea 2000, and the transom is prepared to fit FRP pipes for the stern thruster. Driveline integrity is assured by Tide Seal dripless rudders and Tide Seal dripless shaft logs. Engine protection is enhanced by a Cat-supplied engine alarm system for low pressure and high temperature, and safety handrails line the sides of the main engines. Glendenning electronic clutch controls provide precise engagement.

Fuel polishing and transfer are specified to commercial standards. Each main engine benefits from two Raycor 1000 FG fuel filter/water separators for each engine, together with two Racor 75/1000 MA fuel filter/water separators for the main engines. Transfer duties are handled by one fuel transfer pump, Orberdorfer PSRO 80, and one additional Oberdorfer PSRO fuel transfer pump, while a Reverso GP706-24 oil transfer pump services both engines and generators. Shore power management is streamlined with one Glendinning CM8 100 Amp Cablemaster with a 125' cord to port, new August 2016, accompanied by a Glendinning remote control, also new August 2016.

Fire protection and monitoring are redundant and thoughtfully distributed. The engine room carries a Seafire installation backed by an FM 200 fire suppression system, and safety throughout is reinforced by a total of ten fire and smoke detectors placed around the yacht.

Hull

Engineered around a V-shaped keel with longitudinal stringers, the hull is hand-laid in fiberglass with stringers vacuum-bagged and reinforced by a foam core. The stringers are bonded to the hull and encapsulated in several layers of glass cloth and resin, while the deck and superstructure benefit from foam-cored reinforcement beneath fiberglass. Structural integrity is further assured by FRP bulkheads and interior structural components, including bulkheads and frames, bonded directly to the hull, complemented by an FRP main deck and floors. Underfoot, non-skid treatments secure the main exterior decks, with the teak aft deck as the sole exception. Detailing includes stainless-steel exterior portholes, among them six oval 24-inch by 12-inch units. Propulsion hardware features 3 1/2-inch stainless-steel shafts equivalent to Aquamet 22, main bronze struts, stainless-steel rudders, and four-blade Faster bronze propellers fitted with 3 1/2-inch spurs, with zincs on shafts, rudders, and transom as needed. Machinery foundations consist of fiberglass engine beds bonded to the hull with loads distributed on steel channels, and steering redundancy is provided by an emergency tiller. Protective finishes include two coats of International Gel shield, and electrical protection arrives via a 100-amp galvanic isolator. Handrails are crafted to a one-and-a-half-inch stainless-steel hoop on the main and boat decks.

Electric

Engineered for reliability and convenience, the yacht’s electrical system operates on both 220V and 110V at 60 Hz, with color-coded wiring throughout for clarity and serviceability. Leviton high-quality sockets and switches are fitted in every room, complemented by 110 volt duplex receptacles distributed across the vessel, including the engine room. A custom-built helm console is designed for the electronics suite, while indirect rope lighting under the valances in the salon staterooms, sky lounge, and galley creates an inviting ambiance. A boat panel indicator enhances oversight alongside a security breaker for AC power, and dedicated wiring is provided for a TV beneath the crew bunk as well as for a TV at the aft deck. Underwater lights illuminate the stern to dramatic effect.

Power generation is delivered by two 40 kW 60 Hz Westerbeke 4.OBEDA single-phase generators with soundshields (port: 3713, starboard: 3713). Distribution is centered on a main electrical panel with separate AC power control and circuit breaker panel. Shore power flexibility includes a one hundred amp shore power cable with a seventy-five foot cord, two shore power outlets—one forward and one aft—and a starboard-side forward shore power one hundred amp connection with seventy-five feet of one hundred amp cord.

Energy storage and management are equally robust, featuring eight 200 amp/hr batteries for engine and ship power and a separate 120 amp/hr battery for the generator, all secured in FRP battery boxes; all batteries were replaced in July 2015. Charging and conversion equipment includes three Professional Mariner battery chargers; Sentry battery chargers comprising one 80 amp 24V unit, one 30 amp 24V unit, and one 30 amp 12V unit; three 120 amp Sentry/Dolphin AC/DC light transformers rated 110/24V; and two Newmar 50 amp DC 24V-to-DC 12V converters.
