Propulsion is provided by three Volvo Penta D13B / IPS3 1050 main engines, each rated at 588kW / 800hp at 2,300rpm, for a total output of 1,764kW. Each engine has six cylinders with a 131mm bore and 158mm stroke, driving through three Volvo Penta IPS3 pod drives. Engine hours stand at 1,412 on the port engine, 1,414 on the centre and 1,412 on the starboard. At 2,200rpm, fuel consumption is approximately 125 litres per hour per engine—about 375 litres per hour in total.

Electrical and auxiliary systems are robust and redundant, with one Kohler 28kW generator and one Kohler 35kW generator showing 3,065 hours and 3,619 hours respectively. The yacht operates on 12V / 24V DC and 220V AC, with shore power at 380VAC / 50Hz, a generator battery charger and an electric oil‑change pump serving engines and generators.

Freshwater independence is enhanced by an Idromar watermaker producing 180 litres per hour, while domestic comfort is supported by an upgraded 150‑litre hot‑water boiler.

Manoeuvrability is effortless via Volvo Penta IPS joystick control, complemented by an aft control station with a Volvo IPS joystick only (no engine levers). A Side‑Power TCL285 bow thruster runs on a 48V supply from a dedicated battery bank of two 240Ah batteries. Ride comfort is ensured by CMC electric fin stabilisers with two fins, each offering a 1.2m² area and an Anchor Mode for at‑rest stabilisation. Climate control delivers 104,000 BTU/h across the yacht with additional dedicated air‑conditioning on the flybridge. The watermaker supplies 180 L/h, the hot‑water boiler provides 150L, and the grey and black water pumps were serviced in 2026. An electric oil‑change pump simplifies maintenance, and additional fin‑box insulation reduces noise.

Safety and security are comprehensive: two SOLAS 6–12 person life rafts, eleven portable fire extinguishers inspected during the 2026 yard period, a fixed engine‑room fire system using HFC‑227, and one SCBA set. Medical readiness includes two first‑aid kits that have been renewed and serviced. Life raft HRUs are two Hammar H20 units. Pyrotechnics inventory comprises eight SOLAS red hand flares, four SOLAS parachute rockets and four SOLAS buoyant orange smoke signals.

Alarms and monitoring are centred on an integrated ship‑monitoring system, augmented by a touchscreen display in the crew mess. CCTV coverage is delivered by four fixed IP cameras—two in the cockpit and two in the engine room—while both interior and exterior dimmer packages refine onboard lighting.

Practical power access has been expanded with a waterproof 220V outlet in the flybridge bar, a waterproof 220V outlet in the beach‑area forward storage, an additional USB outlet at the helm and two additional USB outlets in the salon.

Communications are supported by a Raymarine VHF with reference/number 0690205. A CMC stabiliser display provides direct control feedback, and the integrated ship‑monitoring system is supplemented by an extra touchscreen in the crew mess.

On deck, a hull‑integrated hydraulic tender crane with a safe working load of 1,000kg and a 1.5m extension streamlines launch and recovery. A hydraulic lifting swimming platform, a passerelle and a swimming ladder enhance water access. Ground tackle includes two 105kg anchors served by two anchor windlasses, with 150m of 12mm galvanised chain per side. A foot‑operated stern warping control with reverse function simplifies close‑quarters handling. Night‑time allure and safety are boosted by underwater lights comprising four at the transom and two on the aft hull sides, while a removable stainless‑steel column shower serves the beach area. Overhead, an electrically opening hardtop with blades partners with a bow bimini/sunshade and a flybridge aft sun awning for versatile shelter.

Entertainment is elevated by the Sanlorenzo Diamond Audio‑Video Package. The main salon features a 65‑inch television, and Apple TV is fitted in four guest cabins and in the crew area, with a total of six Apple TVs on board.
