Overview and upgrades

Newly completed upgrades reflect a rigorous, no‑compromise maintenance ethos. In 2023 a full generator service was completed; both oil coolers were repaired; the starboard pod received a new upper gear, a new ECU on the starboard side, and a new starter; the salt‑water pump for the A/C units was replaced; both aftercoolers were rebuilt; all eleven batteries were replaced; fresh engine oil and filters were fitted; new seals were installed on both pods; and both engine turbos were replaced. The 2022 program included a rebuilt port‑side supercharger, new air filters, new belts on both engines, new belt tensioners on both engines, and rebuilt Raycore filters on both sides. Structural diligence in 2020 saw soft areas on the hull side and on the hardtop professionally recored and glassed. This disciplined cadence of upgrades underpins the yacht’s turnkey condition.

On deck and around the hull, the specification reads like a blueprint for effortless outdoor living. The hull and deck are finished in a crisp white gelcoat, while the hardtop—also in white gelcoat—integrates cleanly with the windshield and incorporates two hatches with built‑in Ocean Air screens and sun shades, complemented by overhead red and white LED lighting. A one‑piece molded‑fiberglass swim platform with recessed stainless‑steel swim ladder anchors the transom, which also houses a generous storage compartment and a pull‑out Kenyon electric grill. The stainless‑steel bow pulpit runs securely to the cockpit. In the aft cockpit, a comfortable U‑shaped seating group hides ample storage beneath; tailored tan Sunbrella covers protect the seating, and a fiberglass table with cupholders serves as a natural gathering point. A helm enclosure with a sliding canvas and vinyl door provides climate control flexibility, while a slope‑back, full‑cockpit tan Sunbrella transom cover adds robust protection. Practical touches abound, including a transom door, LED courtesy lighting, stereo speakers, fresh‑ and raw‑water washdowns served by a 25 ft hose, and a hot‑and‑cold shower. Access to machinery is excellent via an engine‑room day hatch and an electric cockpit hatch that opens for full engine‑room access. Forward, a foredeck sun pad with cupholders invites relaxation, while the ground‑tackle suite features an anchor roller, an anchor locker, fresh‑water washdown, a Maxwell 1000 12v windlass with both bow and helm controls, a Delta plow anchor, and an all‑chain rode. Night operations benefit from an ACR remote spotlight. Deck hardware includes a foredeck stainless‑steel cleat (1 ‑ 10"), bow cleats (2 ‑ 12"), stern cleats (2 ‑ 12"), and spring cleats (4 ‑ 10"). Natural light and air are thoughtfully managed by four recessed opening stainless‑steel portlights with screens and five opening deck hatches with OceanAir screens and sun shades.

The helm area is designed for confidence and comfort. A composite‑frame windshield integrated into the hardtop employs tempered safety glass, sturdy handrails, and a power‑opening center section. The fully adjustable electric helm seat (white) offers secure ergonomics with storage below, while the hinged one‑piece molded‑fiberglass helm console simplifies service. An inviting white L‑shaped companion settee faces a removable, high‑gloss teak table. Overhead, two hatches, each with Oceanair screens and shades, complement three windshield wipers and a thoughtfully placed map area. Entertaining is effortless at the wet bar with sink, a Nova Kool refrigerator, and a 120 V outlet, with built‑in cupholders throughout. The Clarion stereo (AM/FM/CD) drives new 2021 four weatherproof cockpit speakers, while helm and seat covers keep everything pristine. The companionway is secured by a sliding acrylic door with privacy cover and a sliding screen door.

Below, the salon embraces warm teak and thoughtful technology. To starboard, a large L‑shaped settee converts for sleeping via a filler cushion and faces a substantial high‑gloss table. Teak companionway steps conceal storage, and a teak sole sets the tone for the space. Entertainment is anchored by a large flat‑screen TV (wired 120V, recessed into beautifully low teak cabinetry) (NOT LIKE ANY OTHER 2009 Tiara 4300), supplemented by a Bose Lifestyle 18 stereo system. A concealed AC/DC breaker panel keeps the aesthetic clean, and climate control is assured by a 16,000 BTU A/C unit with reverse‑cycle heat. Connectivity includes cable TV/phone outlets and 120V. outlets (two).

The galley is equally capable and elegant, with abundant storage above and below the counter top and an expansive Corian work surface. Dual under‑counter‑mounted stainless‑steel sinks sit beside a two‑burner ceramic cooktop with a matching Corian cover, a microwave/convection oven, and a Tundra 8.5 cubic‑foot over/under refrigerator/freezer wired for 12v./120v. Practicalities include GFI outlets, a stovetop exhaust fan, and a dedicated trash bin.

In the owner’s stateroom, an island queen berth with generous storage below sets a serene tone. There is a private entrance to the owner’s head, a cedar‑lined hanging locker, and overhead storage to both port and starboard. Comfort is ensured by a dedicated 6,000 BTU A/C unit with reverse‑cycle heat. Entertainment and convenience extend with a 15" flat‑screen TV (12V.), two reading lights, a cable TV/phone outlet, and a 120V. outlet (one).

The owner’s head is smartly executed, featuring a molded‑fiberglass shower stall with a glass door, a refined vanity with Corian countertop and clear‑glass sink, and storage above and below the vanity. A Vacuflush toilet, Avonite‑inlaid flooring, an A/C vent, an exhaust fan, and a GFI‑protected outlet complete the specification.

Guests enjoy a versatile private cabin where twin berths convert to a queen via a filler, with padded headboards for comfort. Storage is abundant via a cedar‑lined hanging locker with hang bar and removable shelves, additional bulkhead cabinetry, and space beneath the steps. Lighting includes two adjustable LED reading lights. A 15" 12V. flatscreen TV, a vanity with Corian countertop and clear‑glass sink, and vanity storage above and below add autonomy. Climate control is via a 6,000 BTU A/C unit with reverse‑cycle heat, and there are cable TV and phone outlets plus 120V. outs (two). The guest head is accessible directly from the guest cabin and offers a molded‑fiberglass shower with curtain, a VacuFlush toilet with cover, and a sink and vanity located within the guest cabin itself.

The electronics suite is comprehensive. Chartplotter (two) Garmin GPS Map 7212’s provide charting, radar, depth, and AIS functions. A Garmin open‑array xHD radar antenna pairs with an RS125 Raystar GPS antenna. Autopilot is handled by Garmin GHC10, VHF by Standard Horizon, multi‑data by Garmin GM110, and heading by a Ritchie SS‑2000 compass. Volvo’s digital engine instrumentation consolidates fuel level, rudder indicators, voltmeters for house batteries, and voltmeters for engine batteries into an intuitive display.

Electrical systems are robust and logically laid out. On the 12‑volt side, you will find a breaker panel, battery disconnect switches, a battery‑parallel system, and a complement of batteries (2 engine, 1 generator, 5 house) supported by high‑output 115‑amp alternators. A Prosine 2000‑watt inverter supports hotel loads, while the Tundra 8.5 cubic‑foot refrigerator/freezer and LED lighting throughout all cabins keep consumption efficient. Enhancements include LED underwater lights, LED cockpit courtesy lights, and LED interior courtesy lights, plus an engine‑room overhead fluorescent light and full running and anchor lights. The stereo suite features a Clarion CMD5 with Sirius and a Clarion APX 480 amp, while cabin speakers deliver Boze surround sound with subwoofer. Both heads use Vacuflush systems (two). The windlass is controllable from both the foredeck and the helm, and windshield wipers (three) ensure clear visibility. A Groco oil‑change system streamlines service, Bennett trim tabs fine‑tune running attitude, and engine‑room fire protection is entrusted to a Fireboy Auto Fire Protection engine‑room system. Safety coverage includes smoke detectors (three) and carbon‑monoxide detectors (three). Ventilation is handled by engine‑room blowers (2 ‑ 250 CFM each). A fresh‑water pump serves the domestic system. Bilge management is handled by four auto/manual 2000 GPH pumps, with a panel of switches and indicators located at the helm. Entertainment below is rounded out by TV (2 ‑ 15" ‑ one in each stateroom).

On the 120‑volt side, shore power arrives via a 240‑volt, 50‑amp, 65‑foot shore‑power cord managed by a Glendenning Cablemaster cord winder and protected by breaker panels. Ship’s power is assured by an 11.5 Onan generator with soundshield and helm panel. Galley appliances include the Tundra 8.5 cubic‑foot refrigerator/freezer, the two‑burner ceramic cooktop, and a microwave/convection oven. A new 2021 battery charger was fitted. Climate management is via a three‑zone air‑conditioning and heat system comprising one 16,000 BTU unit and two 6,000 BTU units. The salon boasts a 26" TV built into the cabinetry, a 20‑gallon water heater supports hot‑water demand, and there are ample 120 V outlets throughout.

The engine room mirrors the rest of the yacht in clarity and care. New 2022 turbos were installed on both engines, along with fresh 2022 engine oil and filters, new 2022 seals on both pods, new 2022 air filters, full 2022 generator service, new 2022 belts on both engines, and rebuilt 2022 Raycore filters. Propulsion is by twin Volvo IPS 600 diesel with joystick control (435 HP), supported by high‑output 115‑amp alternators, Racor fuel/water separators on each engine and for the generator, and an overhead fluorescent light for visibility. Volvo electronic engine controls provide silky response, while an oil‑change system serves both engines and the generator. Sound and thermal insulation benefit from engine‑room acoustical insulation with an overhead fiberglass liner. Access is superb via an engine‑room day hatch and a full engine hatch with electric lifters.
