Notable upgrades

In 2024, the yacht benefitted from a comprehensive refresh designed to elevate comfort, acoustics, and presentation. In July 2024, the Whisper Walls and ceilings were renewed throughout, including new overheads in the salon and galley; fresh overheads and wall panels in the forward starboard bunk of the crew quarters; new overheads and walls in the forward guest stateroom; refreshed wall panels in the master stateroom; and new overheads and wall panels in both the VIP stateroom and the twin stateroom. In September 2024, wallpaper was replaced in the master stateroom bath, the twin stateroom bath, and the day head, the galley floor was replaced, and the engine room and exterior received a full detail. In October 2024, all carpets were steam cleaned and the interior underwent a deep clean and detail, leaving every space crisp, contemporary, and impeccably maintained.

Overview

With a beam just over 21 feet, the yacht is drawn to maximize outdoor enjoyment and ease of movement, featuring fully walk-around decks, a covered aft deck, large bow sun pads, a bridge deck with dedicated toy storage, and an enclosed sky lounge for climate-controlled cruising. Access between levels is intuitive, with exterior stairs linking the aft deck to the bridge deck and a circular interior stairwell connecting all three deck levels with a graceful flow. Below, four beautifully appointed staterooms each offer ensuite heads, complemented by a dedicated crew cabin with bunks for two crew. The primary guest area is reached via circular stairs in the salon to a welcoming lower-deck foyer, which serves the master cabin, the VIP cabin, and the twin cabin. Forward of the country galley, portside stairs lead to a guest cabin and to the starboard crew cabin, as well as a laundry cabinet fitted with a stacked Miele washer and dryer installed in 2019. The salon opens from the aft deck through a stainless sliding door, drawing in natural light through large windows shaded by Duet blinds. A portside couch with a coffee table faces an entertainment center with a flat-screen TV, while to starboard a Galileo Maestro II Digital Grand Piano sets the tone for refined evenings. A wet bar with a bar fridge and two bar stools completes the social heart of the main deck. Just forward on the port side, the dining area presents a round wooden table with six padded chairs, flanked by matching sideboards and a handsome wood buffet topped in black granite with ample storage. The day head, positioned forward of the bar on the starboard side of the main deck, features a Corian countertop with sink and an electric flush head, marble-tiled flooring, and wall-papered bulkheads beneath a mirrored overhead. The country-style galley forward of the main salon invites relaxed gatherings with a dinette comprising an L-shaped banquette and a black Corian–topped dining table, a built-in portside desk/workstation, pantograph doors to both side decks, and wrap-around windows that flood the space with light over Amtico cushioned wood veneer flooring. The U-shaped galley to port is outfitted with a black Corian countertop, a double Franke stainless steel sink, a Whirlpool side-by-side refrigerator/freezer, a Frigidaire electrical stove with double oven, a Frigidaire microwave oven, and a Miele dishwasher from 2020. Above, the enclosed skylounge/bridge can be entered via the circular stairwell from the main salon or directly from the bridge deck aft, and is fully climate-controlled. It features a full helm station with a Stidd helm chair, an aft L-shaped sofa with table, starboard storage cabinetry with a bar fridge, and a padded top-loading freezer to port. On the foredeck, three adjustable built-in loungers invite sunlit relaxation, while the windlass and anchor gear are concealed beneath a large hatch for a clean, sculpted look. Aft, the covered deck offers built-in seating and two chairs around a dining table that seats up to eight, with wraparound screen shades, starboard access to the integral swim platform, two large storage lockers with electro-hydraulic doors, a watertight transom door to the engine room, and a docking remote control available both on the outside bridge and the aft deck.

Accommodation

The full-beam master stateroom lies amidships just aft of the lower foyer, a serene retreat centered on a king-size bed with two nightstands, a sofa, and a dedicated ladies’ vanity. Storage is generous, highlighted by a cedar-lined walk-in closet to port that incorporates a lockable owner’s closet ideal for chartering. The decor flows in a neutral palette with sliding Soji window shades, fitted carpets, and upholstered wall paneling for a soft, refined ambiance. The ensuite master bath is appointed with a shower stall, a counter with sink and faucets, a wooden top seat at the entrance, and an electric flush head, finished with marble-tiled flooring, a wallpapered bulkhead, and a mirrored overhead. Forward to port of the foyer, the VIP stateroom offers a large island queen-size berth, a nightstand, a cedar-lined closet, a vanity, and wooden-frame sliding window blinds, set over a carpeted sole with wood veneer accents and upholstered wall paneling. Its ensuite VIP bath, positioned forward, features a counter with a Corian top, a face basin with tap, a shower stall, and an electric flush head, with off-white tile flooring and a wallpapered bulkhead. To starboard forward of the foyer, the twin guest stateroom presents twin berths along the inboard and outboard bulkheads, a cedar-lined closet, wood-frame sliding window shades, beige carpet, and upholstered wall paneling; an insert is supplied to convert the twin berths into a large bed when desired. The adjoining twin guest bath forward includes a counter with face basin and tap, a shower stall, and an electric flush head over ceramic tile flooring with a wallpapered bulkhead. Furthest forward, accessed from the Country Kitchen Galley to port, the forward guest stateroom is arranged with a double bed with storage beneath, a nightstand, vanity, cedar-lined closet, and sliding Soji window shades, finished in beige carpeting with upholstered wall paneling. Its forward guest bath complements with a Corian vanity top and sink, a shower stall, and an electric flush head over tiled flooring with a wallpapered bulkhead.

Main machinery

Power is delivered by twin Caterpillar 3412E diesel engines rated at 1,400 hp each, showing approximately 7,380 hours on both port and starboard. Propulsion runs through stainless-steel propeller shafts measuring 3 1/2 inches in diameter to two five-blade bronze propellers, with ZF transmissions rebuilt at 5,000 hours for long-term reliability. Control is precise via ZF and Mathers electronic throttle controls, while a Hynautic hydraulic steering system assures steady, responsive handling. Fuel polishing and protection are robust, with triple Racor fuel filters/water separators serving the mains and single units on the generators. Ship’s power is supported by two Northern Lights 33 kW generators, recording approximately 15,753 hours on the port unit and 14,0907 hours on the starboard, each equipped with PTOs and a crossover for redundancy and flexibility. For sea-kindly performance and security underway, the yacht is fitted with six bilge pumps, a Wesmar bow thruster, Wesmar under-way fin stabilizers, and zincs on shafts, rudders, and stern. Climate systems are engineered around closed reservoir cooling with heat exchangers and dual chillers feeding individual air handlers in each space, ensuring dependable, zoned air conditioning throughout.

Navigation and communication equipment

Navigation is anchored by Marine Starlink WiFi and a capable suite that includes one Garmin 7612, one Garmin 740S, and one Furuno NavNet plotter, guided by a Simrad Autopilot 20 with a Simrad R135 rudder angle indicator. Long-range awareness is provided by a Furuno radar with a 72-mile range, while depth is tracked via a Furuno RD 30 sounder. Communications are equally robust, with an Icom IC‑M506 VHF radio, a Standard Horizon hailer, a Ritchie Power Damper compass, and an Iridium satellite phone, complemented by a Raymarine MN100‑2 wind gauge. Entertainment throughout is seamless thanks to six TCL Roku televisions, three Sonos amplifiers, a Yamaha Digital DSP backbone, and overhead speakers fitted throughout the yacht.

Safety & monitoring equipment

Fire safety is comprehensive, with eleven portable extinguishers distributed across cabins, galley, bar, and engine room, fire alarms integrated into the ship’s monitoring system, and a Halon fixed fire-extinguishing system in the engine room with both automatic and manual activation. Vital alerts are clearly conveyed with visual and audible warnings for low oil pressure and coolant over‑heat. Life safety measures include three eight-person life rafts, an ACR Global Fix EPIRB, and a first-aid kit complete with an oxygen kit and AED. Additional safeguards extend to navigation lights, a searchlight fitted on the bridge deck, and CCTV coverage in the engine room and aft deck, providing constant oversight where it matters most.

Deck equipment

Handling and stowage are thoughtfully addressed. A 1200 lb EZ Crane, fitted on the upper deck and rebuilt in 2022, streamlines tender and toy operations. Mooring hardware is substantial, with eight 21* stainless steel cleats, six 8-inch stainless steel fairleads, and four stainless steel chocks. Ground tackle is equally capable, comprising a Bruce type 80 kg anchor, a 1/2-inch galvanized link chain measuring 250*, and a Maxwell 350 windlass with deck controls installed new in 2021. Practical storage includes two lockers port and starboard off the swim platform and a spare Danforth Fortress anchor at the stern, keeping essential gear secure and at the ready.
