Active Octo - DESTINY FOR SALE

ACTIVE OCTO distinguishes herself as a 104’ Destiny motor yacht, uniting expansive volume, celebrated pedigree, and exemplary craftsmanship. Drawn by Evan K. Marshall, this superyacht pairs enduring grace with contemporary flair, and her wide-body configuration magnifies both interior comfort and open-air enjoyment across the decks and generous flybridge for effortless bluewater living.

Within, the atmosphere is quietly opulent: high-gloss joinery gleams against a serene cream-and-beige palette. The flowing main salon merges into a formal dining space and sophisticated bar for elegant entertaining, while the chef-focused galley presents upgraded Bosch and GE appliances, plentiful countertops, and refined etched-glass French doors—hallmarks of a true luxury yacht.

Up to eight guests are accommodated in four exquisitely finished staterooms. A full-beam, split-level owner’s suite on the main deck offers exceptional seclusion, complemented by a second striking full-beam master below featuring his-and-hers baths. Two additional guest cabins—one double and one twin—each include private en-suite facilities, underscoring her motor yacht practicality and superyacht comfort.

Offered within a transferable LLC.

Highlights

A timeless profile artfully blending modern lines with classic elegance sets the tone, while a bi‑level on‑deck master stateroom—more commonly found on much larger yachts—delivers a rare sense of volume and privacy. Below deck, three staterooms include a full‑beam second master/VIP with a his‑and‑hers bath. Power comes from MTU 12V4000 diesels that confidently deliver an impressive 21‑knot cruising speed. Outdoor living is equally compelling, with a comfortable aft deck arranged for al fresco dining for eight to ten and a large flybridge featuring a dinette, Jacuzzi and abundant open deck space. Practical luxuries abound, including a crane, a second Jacuzzi, the coveted on‑deck master layout and stabilizers for composed passages.

Special features

A very strong, custom‑reinforced hull underpins confidence at sea, including three water‑tight bulkheads for enhanced compartmentalization and safety. The exterior retains a timeless profile that fuses modern lines with classic elegance, while the rare bi‑level on‑deck master stateroom rivals those aboard far larger yachts. Below, three staterooms include a full‑beam second Master/VIP to accommodate principal guests in equal comfort. Inside, a luxurious high‑gloss Italian Radica wood interior sets a refined tone. Performance is assured by MTU 12V4000 diesels delivering an impressive 21‑knot cruise. Social spaces abound: a comfortable aft deck with dinette seating for eight to ten invites al fresco dining, and a large flybridge offers a dinette, wet bar, Jacuzzi and plentiful open deck space. Peace of mind comes from extensive upgrades over the years totaling over $2 million.

Salon

Spanning the full beam, the main salon feels remarkably generous for a yacht of this length—an ideal setting for refined entertaining or relaxed time with family. Entering from the aft deck, an aft‑facing desk and chair grace the starboard side, while to port an expansive L‑shaped sofa with lounge chair and coffee table invites easy conversation. Forward to port, a formal dining area creates an elegant stage for dinner, balanced by a well‑appointed bar to starboard for seamless service.

Galley

French doors with etched glass and wood frames open into the port‑side galley just forward of the salon, where updated Bosch appliances pair with generous countertop space for effortless culinary flow. The suite includes a Bosch five‑burner electric range, a Bosch oven, and a Bosch 500 Series 26‑cubic‑foot French‑door refrigerator. Ice service is abundant with a Sub Zero ice machine on the flybridge and aft deck and a U‑Line icemaker in the salon, complemented by Sub Zero two‑drawer refrigerators on both the aft deck and flybridge. Cleanup is handled by a Bosch dishwasher, keeping the space as practical as it is elegant.

Master stateroom

The bi‑level master stateroom is thoughtfully positioned forward on the main deck—an exceptional feature more often seen on yachts of significantly greater size. Large windows to port and starboard frame sweeping ocean views, while a concealed pop‑up entertainment center appears at a touch. Forward, three gentle steps lead down to a massive wardrobe area and a double‑door entry to the ensuite, where his‑and‑hers sinks and a large shower create a serene private retreat.

VIP guest staterooms

A stairwell from the main foyer descends to the accommodations deck, where three inviting guest staterooms await. The full‑beam VIP cabin can effortlessly serve as a second master, ensuring principal‑level comfort, while two additional guest staterooms lie forward: to port, a queen‑sized berth; to starboard, a pair of twins—each space crafted for privacy and rest.

Crew quarters

Accessed by a stairway forward of the galley, the crew quarters are designed for efficient comfort. The captain’s cabin offers an oversized berth, and the second crew stateroom provides upper and lower berths; both are fitted with ensuite heads and showers. Forward, through a watertight door, a large bow storage area grants access to ship’s systems including the pressure water system and two hot water heaters. A cozy dinette anchors the crew space, with a compact refrigerator beneath the wet bar alongside a microwave, and a washer/dryer unit adds welcome self‑sufficiency.

Pilothouse

The raised pilothouse, reached via the starboard companionway on the main deck, centers on a commanding helm chair with a well‑laid‑out navigation console, a generous chart table and a raised L‑shaped settee—an elevated vantage for confident passagemaking.

Flybridge and boat deck

Accessible from both the aft deck and the pilothouse, the flybridge is a large‑volume social hub with a helm station, an L‑shaped settee and table, and a Jacuzzi, complemented by an integrated AV entertainment system. Aft, the boat deck provides ample room for the 14’ tender and other toys, thoughtfully finished with a deck umbrella for shaded comfort.

Machinery

Power is provided by MTU 12V4000 main engines, showing approximately 5,000 hours on both port and starboard, turning through Detroit Diesel 6894A gearboxes with 2.5:1 reduction and direct drive. Ship’s power distribution includes 120/208 VAC, three‑phase, and 24VDC, supported by two 55 kW Northern Lights generators. Climate control relies on an Aqua Air chilled‑water system with three chillers. Further systems include a Filtration Concepts DM 1626S‑3 water maker rated at 1,600 gpd, NAIAD stabilizers, and a Quantum Marine dual‑prop 60 hp hydraulic bow thruster (2019). Steering is hydraulic; fuel polishing is handled by a DD Sea Pro 600; blackwater is processed by a Headhunter MSD sewage treatment system; the fresh‑water system is served by two Mach 5 electric pumps (A/C). A 7.5 hp MP electric bilge pump feeds a 6‑suction manifold, and helm controls are located in the pilothouse, on the flybridge and on the aft deck.

Deck and hull

Ground tackle is robust, with two Maxwell 4000 vertical electric windlasses and two stainless steel Forfjord anchors feeding 1/2” galvanized chain, 400’ on each side. Handling of tenders and gear is simplified by a Marquip 1,800 lb davit with crane extension on the boat deck and an additional Marquip 2,000 lb davit in the lazarette. Boarding is eased by aluminum accommodation ladders with teak handrails, and night operations benefit from two ACR spotlights.

Fire fighting equipment

Safety at sea is reinforced by a comprehensive suite: one Fireboy carbon monoxide detector and thirteen smoke alarms provide continuous monitoring, while a Kidde fixed FM‑200 system (Kidde #155 with charge delay) stands ready for rapid suppression. Portable CO2 units by Kidde enhance flexibility, supported by twenty‑one fire extinguishers throughout the vessel. For emergency response, the seawater firefighting station includes one 7.5 hp AC main fire pump and one 7.5 hp bilge pump.

Safety equipment

Preparedness extends to four EV six‑person life rafts and a 30” throwable life ring, complemented by an ACR GlobalFix Pro EPIRB for reliable emergency signaling.

Tender

A versatile 14’ (4.2 m) AB Nautilus tender (2019) powered by a 70 hp four‑stroke Yamaha outboard delivers confident shore transfers and effortless exploration.

Entertainment systems

On the flybridge, cinema‑style entertainment comes courtesy of a BenQ projector with a retractable screen and QSC8 speakers tied into a Soundcraft 24UIR mixer with instrument inputs and 8 Shure wireless microphones. In the salon, a roof‑mounted retractable lift reveals a television controlled via the RTI app with Apple TV integration. VIP areas feature wall‑mounted TVs with Apple TV, managed by an RTI handheld remote, while the master bedroom enjoys a cabinet‑mounted retractable lift system, likewise controlled by the RTI app with Apple TV for seamless, room‑to‑room continuity.

Furnishings

Included with the vessel are all wall‑mounted artworks and sculptures in the salon and VIP areas, together with a complete set of dishware in the galley and the bedding displayed across all bedrooms—finishing touches that make the yacht feel instantly and elegantly complete.

Upgrades 2020-2025

Recent investments elevate capability and comfort across the board. Communications received a major boost with a Peplink Pepwave Max HD2 configured for Spectrum/Starlink/AT&T inputs and Starlink satellite internet integrated with KVH V7HTS. The pilothouse was modernized with a Furuno TZ Touch system on four Seatronx PHT19 19” touchscreens, a TimeZero Nav PC driving a Furuno TZ12FMFD monitor, and a Furuno BBWX4 Sirius weather receiver with antenna. Networking was enhanced by a Ubiquiti UniFi router and access points, while security was upgraded with an OpenEye server‑based surveillance platform featuring 11 PTZ cameras. Comfort upgrades include Bromic Ceramic Platinum marine‑grade heaters on the flybridge and aft deck (four units), replacement of five Dometic air handlers and associated plumbing, and a digital Lennox thermostat system in salon and bedrooms with Alexa/Google compatibility. Safety and ergonomics benefited from stainless‑steel handrail additions on the aft deck, pilothouse, VIP stairway and master stateroom. Interior refreshes span new “Nova Suede” headliner fabrics throughout, renewed seat cushions for the aft‑deck booth, flybridge booth, daybed and bow, and “Dream Prosecco” wall panels in the salon, VIP and master. Weather protection improved with Eisenglass enclosure window systems with zippers on the aft deck and flybridge. Underfoot, new “Fabrica Esperanza” carpets grace the master bedroom and VIP hallways and bedrooms. Practicalities include replacing GE 2.3 cu. ft. washer/4.4 cu. ft. electric dryer combos—one in the VIP area and one for crew—installing a Bosch 500 Series 26‑cubic‑foot French‑door refrigerator, and fitting salon Hunter Douglas Duette Honeycomb window shades with app control. The Jacuzzi now runs a Jandy ePump 2.2 HP variable‑speed pump with app control. Service work encompassed the watermaker and Alfa Laval systems, plus a GOST yacht alarm sensor suite (Watch HD) with bilge cameras and shore‑power input upgrades to cables and connectors. Systems oversight improved with Boening AHD‑880G touchscreen, AHD‑SAS15 and AHD‑R101 for tank measurement and a Boening AHD‑PS15 digital input station (bilge inputs: black, gray, fuel). The bottom paint and thru‑hull valves were renewed in October 2023, tender chocks were fabricated for the top deck, and crew amenities expanded with two GE Profile Opal 2.0 chewable nugget ice makers. In the engine room, wiring and all breakers were upgraded and replaced, Victron Energy PSC242553085 Phoenix Smart IP43 Charger 24/25 units were installed—three in total at 230V—and all battery sets were replaced with 12V/170Ah AGM Super Cycle batteries, twenty in total. MTU engines received comprehensive service, including injector replacements, coolant flush and oil changes.

Upgrades 2015-2017

Thoughtful enhancements included a full‑size stainless‑steel propane BBQ on the flybridge in 2015 and Subzero stainless‑steel fridge drawers with an aft‑deck ice maker the same year. In 2016, the galley received a new stovetop, oven and microwave; crew mattresses were renewed; water heaters and Headhunter water pumps were replaced; A/C chillers were renewed; and all outside covers were replaced—ensuring reliability and comfort where it matters most.

Upgrades 2013 and earlier

Prior care included new carpet, wall panels, cushions, Eisenglass, motor mounts and engine room paint in 2013, along with two new stainless‑steel anchors, renewed teak decks, a remanufactured anchor locker for watertight integrity, fully renewed winches, and replacement of the full‑size refrigerator, oven and stove—foundational work that set the stage for the yacht’s subsequent evolution.
