Technical specification

Benita Blue is driven by twin 1,800 hp MTU diesel engines, type 16V 2000 M90, governed by Mathers Control Heads, with engine hours as of September 2025 refreshingly low for her vintage (Port: 3020; Stbd: 3024). Power is transmitted through two ZF reverse cycle gearboxes (4540@ 2.529:1 reduction) to a pair of Veem Cunial fixed pitch propellers via robust 4.5-inch Veem 2205 stainless steel shafts, a configuration that delivers a maximum speed of 24 knots at half load and a comfortable cruising speed of 17 knots. At an economical 11 knots she achieves an impressive 1,200 NM range, with fuel consumption around 810 litres/hour at maximum speed and a thrifty 120 litres/hour at economical speed (including generator consumption). Generous tankage underpins extended cruising, providing 16,500 litres of fuel and 5,000 litres of fresh water, the latter augmented by a Sea Recovery reverse osmosis watermaker producing 4,000 litres per day, while grey and black water capacities are each 1,750 litres.

Auxiliary systems and electricals

A robust electrical architecture centers on twin Onan 60 kW generators (type MDGDD) with auto start, synchronization, and parallel operation; as of September 2025 their hours stood at Port: 7508 and Stbd: 7565, supplying 415/380/230-volt, 50 Hz power throughout. Shore power arrives via a 100-amp three-phase connection, neatly managed by a Glendinning Shore Cable Retriever and a 50 Kva shore power transformer/frequency converter, while dedicated battery banks include 4 x 225 Ah for the main engines and generators, 7 x 183 Ah for radio/navigation/emergency, and 2 x 225 Ah for house services. Handling and comfort are assured by a twin hydraulic ram actuated steering system, a Naiad 60 hp bow thruster, and Naiad Active Fin stabilization for precise roll control, with climate comfort delivered by a Marineair reverse cycle air conditioning system and abundant domestic hot water from two three-phase 250-litre high-recovery heaters.

Navigation, communication, and safety

Benita Blue navigates with confidence thanks to a comprehensive suite: a Furuno Satellite Compass SC-60, Furuno Navpilot autopilot, B&G Hydra 2000 wind/depth/log pack, and a Furuno colour echo sounder, all complemented by a Furuno Blackbox Navet System with a 12 kW Radar/ARPA module and an additional Raymarine Gs Series radar/chartplotter. Communication is seamless via Starlink for cellular connectivity, multiple ICOM and Furuno VHF radiotelephones, and a Panasonic PABX telephone/intercom system. Safety and security are meticulously addressed with a Notifier addressable fire alarm system, a fixed gas fire extinguishing system protecting the engine room, a Central Alarm Monitoring System (AMS 2000), CCTV coverage, and full SOLAS-approved safety gear that includes 2 x 25-man life rafts and 30 lifejackets.

Deck equipment, galley, and accommodation

Deck operations are effortless with 2 x Muir hydraulic anchor windlasses and a capstan working 2 x 122 kg polished stainless steel anchors on 87 m of galvanised stud link chain, while guest embarkation is via an Opacmar stainless steel hydraulic passerelle and tender handling by a Besenzoni hydraulic davit rated at 450 kg SWL. Entertainment flows through a comprehensive audio/visual system with Apple TV throughout, immersive 5.1 surround in the saloon, and multiple Samsung and Sony TVs. A full commercial galley features high-end appliances, including a Siemens induction hub and oven and a Fisher & Paykel fridge, with laundry served by two sets of Siemens washer/dryer units and refreshments by two U-Line bar fridges and an ice maker. Accommodation is remarkably flexible, with a full-beam owner’s suite that can be divided into two doubles, two Double/Twin guest cabins each with a Pullman, and a convertible study on the upper deck; the crew enjoy a double Captain’s cabin and two twin crew cabins. Watersports are fully catered for by a Williams Turbojet 395 tender, two SeaBob F5-S units, inflatable kayaks, wakeboards, and waterskis.

Propulsion

Specifications

Speed and distance are balanced for versatility, with a cruising speed of 17 kn and a max speed of 24 kn that suit both swift passages and unhurried coastal exploration. Dimensions confirm confident volume within a compact footprint, with a length overall of 33.7 m, a remarkably shallow minimum draft of 1.3 m for privileged anchorage access, and a beam of 7 m for generous stability. Weights are significant yet efficient, reflected by a gross tonnage of 182 t. Miscellaneous particulars include an electric windlass, a liferaft capacity of 1, and a 240 V electrical circuit, while the hull is composite in a semi-displacement form to blend speed and efficiency. Tanks are configured for autonomy with a fresh water tank of 1 x 5000 l and a fuel tank of 1 x 16500 l, together with a holding tank provision. Accommodations are arranged for both guests and crew, with guest cabins 5 and guest heads 8, complemented by crew cabins 3 and crew heads 5.
