Accommodations Overview

Upon purchasing INTUITION II and with the advice of their former captain, the owners formed a small company to project manage the conversion with the intention of creating a world cruising expedition yacht for them and their children and guests. Two experienced engineers and the captain recommended Vosper Thornycroft as the yard to do the metal work. They and 60 or more workers stripped out the old systems (original wiring, electronics, insulation, heating, air conditioning and plumbing). Southampton Yacht Services was hired to redesign the accommodations and to create a beautiful, yet functional, interior. Through SYS, Nicholson Interiors, a high end joinery company which had already fitted out two yachts for Royals, was employed to do the finish work. The entire superstructure of the original vessel was cut off and refabricated out of Aluminum. The end result is a tribute to the owners, project managers, yards and all of the sub-contractors involved in transforming this rugged North Sea Pilot boat into a “go anywhere” globe trotter with all of the comforts, amenities, and appeal of a stunning, luxury yacht.

Sleeping Accommodations

Owners/Guests Sleeping Accommodations:

Sleeps 15 in 8 cabins


Master suite is full-width forward one deck up from the main deck on G Deck. Large forward facing windows as well as windows to port and starboard provide plenty of light and panoramic views. The joinery, furnishings and soft goods here are all of the finest quality: built in mahogany cabinetry with brass fittings and fixtures, silk upholstered wallcoverings, white carpeting, a king berth on a raised plinth; owner’s leather top desk and chair in the starboard forward corner; large mahogany cabinet with book shelves, cupboards for storage and recessed TV opposite the foot of the bed; four full length hanging lockers; (2) six drawer bureaus; large settee to port; ensuite bath aft to port with tub, separate shower, twin sinks with marble countertop and marble flooring.

(2) Guest VIP suites with queen beds on the main deck (H Deck) forward. Both have ensuite heads with showers, comfortable easy chairs, full length hanging lockers and large ports.

(1) One Nanny/Supernumerary cabin with single bed, bedside cabinet, hanging locker, small writing desk, three opening ports and ensuite head and shower, located aft of the VIP’s on the main deck (H Deck), port side forward.

(4) Guest staterooms below (2 with twins and 2 with queens) on J Deck, all with ensuite heads and showers.

Crew Accommodations Crew:
Sleeps 15 in 10 cabins including captain’s cabin. As INTUITION II needs only 12 crew, many of the crew are able to have their own cabin (1 to a cabin)-a luxury found on very few yachts.

Captain’s Cabin with double bed, office and ensuite head, wash basin and shower. Located aft of the master stateroom on G Deck, one deck below the wheelhouse but in close proximity to it. (See other Crew Cabins described under J Deck).

Accommodations: Main Deck

Exterior:
Spacious teak side decks with stowaway, retractable boarding side gangways in the bulwarks, port and starboard.  Overhead cranes for launching tenders, one each side.  

Interior:
Main Deck (H Deck). There is a formal entry way to the interior from the starboard, amidships main deck, just aft and opposite of the boarding gangway. It leads into a foyer/guest lobby where there is an intricate inlaid eagle design in the flooring, an on deck head and three sets of stairs, one leading up to G Deck and the other two down to J Deck.

Den/Snug Room/Lower salon:

Immediately aft of the main lobby is a doorway to the wonderful, club like, Den or “Snug Room.  A handsome lacquered mahogany bar with refrigerator, sink, and icemaker and three upholstered bar chairs is located at the forward end of the room. Aft are a large, L shaped sofa, two mahogany coffee tables finished in high gloss varnish, and a comfortable easy chair. The carpeting here is a Tartan red, green and blue pattern made of wool and handwoven in Ireland.  Large windows to port, starboard and aft offset the dark, but beautiful, Mahogany paneling and joinery. There is a TV in a cabinet just to port of the bar.

Breakfast Room/ meeting room:

Forward of the main lobby on the starboard side, is a lovely breakfast room or meeting room with seating for 6 to 8. Glass partitions on the inboard side, as well as large windows on the outboard side, give this room a light, open feeling.

Galley, Crew Mess, Pantry and Kid’s Lounge/”Quiet Room”.

Farther along the companionway and to starboard are the galley, crew mess and crew pantry.

The galley is well laid out with plenty of counter space, a doorway to the port side deck for ease of bringing in stores, and an internal doorway to the main deck companionway. Adjacent to the galley is a set of steps that lead down and forward to the Freezer Room and the crews quarters.

Galley cabinets and appliances are of commercial grade, brushed stainless steel. Countertops are green marble. There is a 5 deck, 200 kilogram capacity Dumb Waiter in the port forward corner.

Appliances/Equipment include:

Falcon E1102 forced convection oven range with two fast boiling hotplates and two solid hotplates.
Falcon warming oven
Lang series 28 deep fat fryer.
Falcon salamander grill.
Panasonic Combi microwave.
Vertical refrigerator & freezer.
Various blenders & food processors.
Twin, deep stainless steel sinks

Just forward of the galley are two sets of stairs. One leads down and aft to K Deck where the Control room, Engine room and Freezer room are located. The other leads up to G Deck.  Further along the main companionway and adjacent to the galley are the Crew Pantry and Crew Mess.

The Crew Pantry has two sinks, a Miele G674 dishwasher and storage cupboards.

The Crew Mess has a large L shaped settee with table that can accommodate up to 8 crew plus a smaller table forward with a settee and a chair that can be used for another two or three crew. Other features of the crew mess include an LG 42” Flat-screen TV mounted over the table on the aft bulkhead.

Opposite the Crew Mess on the port side of the main companionway is a Kid’s Lounge or “Quiet Room” with a comfortable, U shaped settee and large hassock at one end and a computer station, Video library and LG 29” TV with Pioneer DVD player and hi-fi stereo sound system. This area provides an excellent place for kids to watch movies or, when not in use by the owners, for the crew to relax off duty.

Laundries:

Just beyond the Kid’s Lounge is one of two laundries on board. This one is specifically used for laundry from the owners’ and guests’ accommodations. It has:

Two Miele WSE5405 washing machines.
Two Miele TE5213 driers.
One Miele B863 rotary iron.
Deep sink & folding table.

A second laundry for crew is located close to the crews’ quarters on J Deck. It has:

Two Miele WSE5405 washing machines.
Two Miele TE5213 driers.
Deep sink & folding table

Forward of the guest laundry, port side, is the Nanny’s Cabin (previously described above).

The main companionway leads forward from the Nanny’s cabin to two VIP staterooms, one to port and the other to starboard, with accommodations as previously described in Sleeping Accommodations.

Accommodations: G Deck, One deck up from Main Deck (H Deck)

Steps lead from the main internal companionway and from the Foyer on H Deck, as well as from the port and starboard sidedecks, up to the Master Suite, Captain's Cabin, Servery, Day Head, Library, Formal Dining Salon and Main Salon.

The master Suite is located all the way forward on this deck with the captain's cabin immediately aft of it (as previously described in Sleeping Accommodations).

Immediately aft of the captain's cabin, starboard side, is a Servery for this area.  In addition to the Dumb Waiter, it has: cabinet for glassware and other storage, deep stainless steel sink, icemaker, bar sink, and microwave.
• Just past the Servery is a Day Head after which there is a doorway that leads to the Library, Salon, and Formal Dining area.  This entire aft area is cleverly designed so that one room flows seamlessly into the other, yet each retains its own distinct character.  Full height floor to overhead windows and a magnificent glass semi-circular bulkhead (all the way aft) afford plenty of light and spectacular vistas from all three of these areas.
The Library has floor to ceiling mahogany bookcases with cabinets on the after and interior bulkheads.  In addition, it has two wing back chairs and a coffee table.  At the forward end is beautiful, partially open breakfront which acts as divider between the Library and the Main Salon (port side).  It houses a large, retractable flat screen TV which can be viewed from the main salon.  A mirror image breakfront, but without a TV, separates the Formal Dining area from the Main Salon on the starboard side.
• The formal Dining area has stunning, mahogany, raised paneling on the aft bulkhead, inboard bulkhead and in between the windows..  A long oblong dining table with 12 chairs and Brass, nautical wall sconces/light fixtures add to the elegance of this room.
• Aft of both the Library and the Formal Dining area is the massive, yet welcoming, Main Salon.  In between the breakfronts at the forward end of the room is the piece de resistance of this area, a working fireplace with glass doors inset in green marble.  A white upholstered three seater couch with coffee table faces the fireplace as do two comfortable, matching easy chairs.  Back to back with the couch and separating one half of the room from the other is a handsome varnished mahogany sideboard.  Outboard of this to port and to starboard are identical built in floor to ceiling, mahogany cupboards.  A small coffee table and two more easy chairs are aft to port.   To starboard is the spiral stairway to the Guest Foyer below.  The entire area is carpeted wall to wall, white wool carpeting.  The wallcoverings are white silk with Mahogany moldings and mahogany trim around the windows.
• The curved glass bulkhead at the aft end of the Main Salon has sliding doors which open up to an expansive teak aft deck.  Here there is a casual, al fresco, undercover teak dining table with chairs as well as an outside, built in, semi-circular seating area with two varnished tables.  Steps lead from the starboard side down to the main sidedeck.

Wheelhouse & Sky Lounge, Top Deck (F Deck)

A stairway adjacent to the captain’s cabin and Master Suite on H Deck leads up to the very spacious and light wheelhouse above.

The Aluminum Wheelhouse has reverse windows across the front end and five large windows on either side. (Windows here are ½” thick armoured glass). In addition, there are port and starboard wing doors which open up to the side decks and to two exterior wing stations. Across the front of the wheelhouse, there is a Portuguese bridge. Visibility here, from both inside and out, is excellent.

The interior of the wheelhouse is finished with teak cabinetry and teak trim and has a Teak and Holly sole. The beautifully crafted teak console is two tiered with screens and monitors mounted at a 45 degree angle in front of the helm and other electronics, (switches and controls) and radios mounted horizontally. The console has teak grab rails to port and starboard of the wheel, a very welcome addition in heavy seas. Above the console there are gauges for wind speed, direction, depth, etc. Typical of ship’s equipment, there is also a binnacle compass mounted overhead and the helm, itself, is a traditional spoked wheel. Immediately aft of the helm and console are a varnished oval teak table and a long, raised pilot /observation seat. Built into the back of the seat and separate from the helm area, is a navigation desk/ station with drawers for logs, charts, almanacs, etc. with room on the surface to spread a chart out.

A doorway leads from the port aft corner of the wheelhouse to an intimate sky lounge. This area has a glass window between it and the wheelhouse so as to maintain the utmost visibility. The cabinetry and trim here is honey teak. In the aft starboard corner of the lounge is a semicircular, built in settee and a small, teak coffee table. Between the pilothouse doorway and the settee is another large cabinet with….. The entire aft bulkhead of the sky lounge is built of curved glass, in keeping with the lines of the canoe stern and the other aft deck configurations of the yacht, and is a smaller mirror image of the glass bulkhead of the main salon below. With the curtains closed, as in the salon, the room is cozy. With the curtains open, the room becomes much larger and more “extroverted”. A teak entertainment center/cabinet at the far end of the room houses a retractable flat-screen TV. Glass doorways in the aft port and starboard corners of the curved bulkhead lead straight out to the vast top deck.

The Top Deck (F Deck) is painted light tan and is Aluminum. In addition to the yacht’s funnel and a stern, pedestal mounted steering station, this deck is virtually clean. (A passerelle and a Kayak are stored on the port rail and two liferafts in canisters are mounted outboard of the steps that lead down on either side of the funnel to G Deck). This deck is ideal for sun bathing, lounging on sun pads or moveable, loose furniture and/or for storing water toys and small boats. Although not structurally strong enough to hold a helicopter, this deck could possibly be beefed up to carry a light weight helicopter or to be used as a “touch and go” heli pad. A naval architect should be consulted on this matter.

Working Areas: J Deck & K Deck

Steps lead from inboard of the Crew Mess down to the crews’ quarters (forward) and to the Control Room and Upper Level of the Engine Room (aft).

The Control Room contains a totally new main switchboard (from time of conversion) which covers 6 power sources and governs approximately 1.1 megawatts of total electricity generating capacity. (See Electrical Section for details). Opposite the main panel is a desk with comfortable chair, ship’s computer, monitor for the Isis System, engine throttle controls, etc. Overhead are mounted gauges and meters. On the starboard side of the control room is a doorway which leads into the Upper Level of the engine room.

A "cat walk" goes all the way around the circumference of the upper level of the engine room. The “Prime Movers”, propulsion generators, as well as the house generators, can all be seen from here. A ladder leads from the aft starboard side of this area to the machinery space below.

(See Mechanical Section).

Aft of the main engine room there is an Engineer’s Stores Room on the port side and a chilled water room to starboard. Farther aft is the Drive Motor Room where the Propulsion Motor is located.

Crews quarters are on J Deck, forward of the control room. There are 10 cabins, 5 cabins with upper and lower berths and 5 cabins with single berths. All cabins have heads, wash basins and hanging lockers. These cabins share four showers. Under the crews’ quarters on K Deck there is a large Chiller room (walk-in cold store capacity 358 cu ft.) to starboard with an integral, separate Freezer room (capacity 283 cu ft.). Both areas are chilled by two Bock compressors that run a common refrigeration plant with separate controllers. Outside of the Chiller room there is large Hoshizaki Ice Machine: 180Kg 397 lbs capacity (195-235 Kg ice production per 24 hours).

Also on this deck are a Bosun’s storeroom, a Dry Goods storeroom with dry food racking to accommodate large volumes of canned goods and boxed food, and a fully equipped Workshop. INTUITION II’s storage capability and her facilities for repairing and producing parts that may not be easily accessible or available are truly impressive. In addition, she carries a large inventory of spares.

Comments

Having owned and loved INTUITION II for over 18 years, her owner has reluctantly decided that it is time to let her go. She has taken him and his family safely and comfortably from New York to Newfoundland to Florida, Mexico and the Med. She has many more years of good life and longer trips in her. Anyone looking for a vessel that has a truly stunning yachtsman’s interior yet the redundant systems and integrity of a Dutch Ship, should give serious consideration to this incredible vessel.
