Easy to show and turnkey for immediate adventures, Grandeur invites new owners to step aboard and start collecting unforgettable memories.

Vessel walk through

Step aboard Grandeur with ease via the swim platform or the port and starboard side doors on the aft deck; from the swim platform, wide companionways to port and starboard guide you safely up to a generous aft deck. Here, a deep overhang casts cool shade over a settee and a handsome table seating eight, creating a perfect breakfast nook and a serene perch to plan the day. Double sliding electric doors usher you into a beautifully appointed interior where a full-beam salon with over 7 1/2 feet of headroom and oversized windows floods the space with light, volume, and unbroken views rare for this class. The openness continues forward into the two-level on-deck master suite, while amidships a formal dining area hides behind a sliding privacy wall, and a gourmet galley to port is served by a forward watertight door to the deck. To starboard, the companionway—accessed through a handsome etched glass door, as is the galley—conveniently collects the day head, the guest cabin stairway, and helm access, as well as a second watertight door to the deck. The owner’s suite radiates quiet privacy and comfort, with an aft-facing offset berth, a relaxing lounging settee, and, down four steps, a dressing area offering massive closet capacity and a built-in lighted dressing table; the en-suite head is indulgent, with a Jacuzzi tub and a smoked-glass-lit oval shower. Three guest cabins are reached via a staircase with sturdy handrails and comprise one full-beam queen VIP, one VIP queen, and one twin bunk room with side-by-side berths; all staterooms are en suite and elegantly finished with designer soft goods and accents throughout. Crew accommodations are private and spacious, accessed separately from the aft deck, and include one Captain’s stateroom with a double bed, two crew staterooms with over-under bunks, all with en-suite heads, plus a crew galley with a U‑shaped dinette and two sets of washers and dryers. The engine room has two access points—primary entry through the crew quarters and a secondary route via the lower garage—and is purposefully arranged for straightforward maintenance and exceptional accessibility. Twin Caterpillar 3516B engines, the preferred choice at 2,600 HP, deliver an effortless 16-knot cruise. Aft, ahead of the second garage, the lazarette houses hydraulics, steering, and generous storage. On deck, storage abounds, including two garages for tenders and toys—one at the swim platform and one on the flybridge deck—the latter cleverly doubling as a movie screen for an outdoor cinema or game night. The flybridge invites from either the aft deck or the pilothouse via safe, guest-friendly stairways, and indulges with a padded sun area, a Jacuzzi hot tub, an L‑shaped settee, a wet bar, and a casual dining table with eight chairs. A centerline helm with a single helm chair enjoys excellent sightlines. A guest favorite, this deck also features an L‑shaped settee, a table with gas accent, teak decking, a garage, the Jacuzzi hot tub, a wet bar, a grill, and a table for eight; the garage lifts to form the movie screen. A custom hardtop and full enclosure, added in 2022, transformed this entire level into an all-weather entertainment and passage space.

The guest suite configuration comprises two queen-berth staterooms and one double-berth stateroom, each en suite and beautifully finished. Separate crew quarters, privately accessed from the aft deck, provide three staterooms and three heads, with one double and two stacked-bunk rooms, plus a crew mess and dining area. Engine room access is via a watertight door within the crew area.

To port, an informal table with chairs complements a massive, deeply comfortable settee, while easy chairs and centerline coffee tables form a convivial cluster against the panoramic glazing. A granite landing graces the salon entrance; etched glass marks the companionway door; full-beam architecture with oversized windows, blinds, and plush carpeting elevates the ambiance. Entertainment is robust and intuitive with a 50‑inch Smart LED television, a DirecTV HD control box, a Sony Blu‑Ray disc player, and a Bose Lifestyle system driving three zones—main salon, aft deck, and flybridge—through a Bose amplifier and Bose stereo speakers, with iPod auxiliary input and crisp LED lighting completing the scene.

Pilothouse

Electrical systems

Electrical distribution, switchboards, and systems are by De Kiser. Ship’s power is supported by two Northern Lights generators rated at 65 kW, III Phase M4457, with 12/240 volts at 60 Hz for USA service; recorded hours show port at 12,713 and starboard at 11,869. Shore power is 220 V A/C through a 65 kW Atlas transformer. Battery banks include pilothouse 12 V 4‑D (two), lazarette port 12 V 8‑D (eight), forward lazarette 12 V (eight), and storage 12 V (eight), with Master‑volt 24 V charging comprising one 50‑amp, one 60‑amp, and one 100‑amp charger, supporting a 760‑amp total capacity. Lighting runs on 24 V DC and 110 V AC, and generator start is 12 V.

Engine room and mechanical

Massive, meticulously organized, and easily accessed from two watertight entries—forward through the crew quarters and aft via the garage—the engine room places the main ship’s electrical panels forward near the crew access. Engine and generator hours are as reported by the captain. Propulsion is via Caterpillar 3516B Series engines at 2,600 HP each, with hours of 6,231 port and 6,238 starboard, turning through ZF BW465 IV gears at a 2.029:1 ratio, managed by ZF electronic controls at two stations with an engine synchronizer. Serviceability is heightened by an engine oil change system, Racor triple‑bowl fuel filters, fuel priming pumps, and an Alfa Laval fuel polishing system. Fresh‑water cooling feeds underwater exhausts; 4.5‑inch shafts drive five‑blade Nibral propellers. Naiad hydraulic stabilizers with 54 x 35‑inch fins and hydraulic bow and stern thrusters provide authoritative control, while the machinery spaces are air conditioned. Ship’s auxiliary power is by Northern Lights generators.

Grandeur delivers efficient long‑range passages with verified figures: at 1,000 RPM, fuel burn is 44 GPH for a speed of 8 knots and a range of 1,023 NM; at 1,100 RPM, fuel burn is 72 GPH for 11 knots and a 763 NM range; and at 1,400 RPM, fuel burn is 120 GPH for 13 knots and a 593 NM range.

Mechanical systems

Machinery on board is specified for reliability and autonomy. Climate control is via Dometic chillers installed in November 2016, with a 208‑volt 60 Hz electric air compressor supporting ship’s services. Stabilization is Naiad hydraulic (non‑zero‑speed) with hydraulic bow and stern thrusters. Fresh water is supplied by two 50‑gallon heaters with a circulation pump and a Sea Recovery watermaker producing 900 gallons per day, driven by a dual 110 VAC fresh‑water pressure system with two Mac 5 pumps. Fuel is conditioned by an Alfa Laval separator. Bilge coverage includes electric/automatic crash pumps on the two main engines. Shore power conversion is through a 65 kW Atlas transformer. Steering is hydraulic, with control stations at the flybridge and pilothouse. Waste handling is fully engineered: a Hamann black‑water sewage treatment system and Vacu‑Flush jet heads manage black water, while gray water is collected in sump box compartments—six in total—with three 340‑volt electric sump pumps.

Tonnage

Grandeur carries a Gross Tonnage of 224 tons and a Net Tonnage of 67 tons, with a Light Displacement of 148 tons. Tankage is generous: fuel capacity is 5,800 USG (21,955 liters); fresh water is 700 USG (2,649 liters); and waste water is 475 USG (1,800 liters).

Aft deck

The spacious aft deck enjoys a generous overhang for shade, with a U‑shaped settee comfortably seating eight around a beautiful teak table. Crew quarters are accessed to port. A spiral staircase to starboard with secure handrails leads to the flybridge, while portside steps with safety rails provide easy access to the swim platform. The teak deck, multiple boarding points from port and starboard ladders and the swim platform, and LED lighting complete this welcoming terrace astern.

Deck and hardware

Deck gear is comprehensive and expedition‑ready: twin 125‑kg anchors each set in stainless steel pockets to port and starboard are served by two hydraulic Muir windlasses and paired with 450 feet of chain per side. Aft, two hydraulic Muir warping capstans stand ready for close‑quarters work. The flybridge tender is handled by a 1,500‑lb‑capacity davit. Boarding is facilitated by an eight‑step Mar‑Quip Tide Ride ladder and a seven‑step fold‑up stainless steel swim ladder. The flybridge hosts a Jacuzzi, and the yacht’s exterior received a fresh painted finish in 2021. A starboard‑forward water fill locker and starboard‑aft fuel fill locker streamline service, while custom stainless‑steel fairleads—three per side—guide lines with precision. A Besenzoni hydraulic passerelle with controls in the transom garage completes the package.

Fire and safety

Security and readiness are prioritized aboard Grandeur. Safekeeping includes a ship’s safe in the pilothouse with a key lock, one digital safe in the owner’s stateroom, and four guest safes. Firefighting equipment encompasses a fixed fire‑suppression system and Kiddy dry‑chemical extinguishers, with integrated smoke, fire, high‑water, and fuel‑fill alarms. Safety gear is extensive: one eight‑person Euro Vinyl life raft and one six‑person Euro Vinyl life raft, three SOLAS‑approved 30‑inch life rings, ACR 406 EPIRBs, Orion flares, and a ditch bag outfitted with McMurdo SART, an ACR EPIRB, and Orion flares. Medical readiness includes a Revere First first‑aid kit.
