Key features

A three-stateroom, two-head layout anchors a yacht conceived for effortless cruising, powered by twin 715 HP Cummins diesels on Zeus pod drives with joystick—showing approximately 730 hours—and supported by Dockmaster remote docking for confident, fingertip control. The pods were fully serviced in fall 2023 ahead of winter storage, while the bottom received fresh antifouling and new zincs in spring 2024, underscoring diligent care. Long-range autonomy comes from an Onan 21 kW diesel generator with approximately 870 hours, and comprehensive Raymarine electronics are complemented by FLIR night vision plus integrated aft, port, and starboard cameras to keep watch in all conditions. Everyday convenience abounds with a washer/dryer unit positioned in the hallway near the staterooms, while luxury touches include granite and solid-surface countertops throughout, a gracious full-beam master stateroom with sitting area, and a private en-suite master head. The second head serves double duty with day access and private entry from the forward stateroom, and the open main living area delivers the brand’s hallmark 360-degree views. A central gourmet galley features a drop-down electro-hydraulic window that seamlessly connects indoor and outdoor spaces, while the flybridge—with dedicated A/C, grill, refrigerator, sink, and abundant seating—sits beneath a hardtop engineered for multiple enclosure options. An extended hydraulic swim platform welcomes a dinghy or PWC, and a massive utility room with a proprietary battery management center provides outstanding storage. The extended bridge overhang creates a weather-controlled refuge, and adding canvas transforms it into a remarkably livable, climate-controlled area that maximizes every nautical mile.

Bridge

Command flows naturally from a bridge designed for comfort and control, where 24V courtesy lights set the mood and an entertainment system—Fusion stereo with AM/FM/CD/Sirius Satellite control via bridge and cockpit remotes feeding four exterior speakers—keeps the soundtrack going. Beverage holders, generous bridge stowage, and a fiberglass table complement the C-shaped aft lounge with table and sunpad conversion, while an entertainment center with sink and solid-surface countertops stands ready for effortless hosting. The adjustable captain’s single bucket helm seat to starboard faces a wood-grain dash panel with SmartCraft instrumentation, a Ritchie flush-mounted compass, tilt wheel, dual engine controls, and the Skyhook system, joined by Raymarine VHF with external speaker and a depth sounder for precise situational awareness. A Venturi windshield with smoke tint in a stainless-steel frame teams with a tempered safety glass windshield and a black mesh windshield cover to manage glare and breeze, while a single-station spotlight, audio and visual high-water bilge alarm, and ship’s bell add safety and nautical tradition. A fiberglass radar arch anchors the profile, canvas Bimini and multiple enclosure options tailor the climate, and a cockpit-to-bridge door, helm and seat covers, and an L-shaped port bench refine day-to-day practicality.

Cockpit

The cockpit is an all-weather social hub with 24V courtesy lighting and a fiberglass cockpit table set before an entertainment center that pairs solid-surface countertops with bar stools, while molded lounge seating with cup holders invites lingering. Practicality is built-in through a self-bailing deck, freshwater and raw-water washdowns forward and aft, an icemaker, overhead storage, and a shore water connection. Access is intuitive via a locking sliding glass door to the salon with curtain and a hydraulic cockpit/galley pass-through window, molded steps to the deck trail with fender storage, and a molded stair base with storage and stainless-steel steps to the bridge. Daily service is simplified by a hinged engine room access door and steps, plus a hot and cold hand shower for quick rinses after a swim. A transom door leads directly to the hydraulic swim platform, turning waterline living into second nature.

Salon

Step into a salon that marries sophistication and function: Brisa distressed Ultraleather chair, sofa, and love seat each conceal storage beneath, set over plush carpet and illuminated by overhead and courtesy lighting. A central vacuum system and a digital tank monitoring system streamline upkeep, while Roman shades, table lamps, and solid-surface countertops refine the ambiance. Climate is mastered by four-zone air conditioning with reverse-cycle heat—one 16,000 BTU unit, one 12,000 BTU unit, and a 24,000 BTU unit—tempered by two opening windows that usher in a sea breeze. Entertainment is immersive with a 110V AM/FM component, a six-disc CD/DVD changer, Bose surround sound, and a 32" LCD television with DVD, complemented by dedicated wine storage for celebratory moments.

Galley

At the heart of the yacht, the gourmet galley works as beautifully as it looks with 110V GFI protection, 24V overhead courtesy lights, and wood flooring underfoot. Culinary capability comes from a recessed three-burner electric glass cooktop, a stainless-steel convection/microwave, a double stainless-steel sink, and granite and solid-surface countertops, while a slide-out pantry, a stowage cabinet with carousel and trash receptacle, and direct access to the lazarette/utility room (with optional crew’s quarters access) keep everything organized. The convertible dinette adapts from breakfast nook to evening dining, Roman shades temper the light, a Krups coffee maker greets the day, and cold storage is abundant with two Vitrofrigo stainless-steel refrigerators.

Accommodations

The full-beam master stateroom is a private retreat with a queen island berth capped by an innerspring pillow-top mattress, a cedar-lined illuminated hanging closet, a vanity dressing table with seat and mirror, and solid-surface countertops over soft carpet. Entertainment includes a master system with a 19" LCD TV, 110V AM/FM, CD/DVD, Bose surround sound, and an additional Toshiba 19" screen, while two opening windows, overhead lights, and courtesy lights allow you to set the scene. The en-suite master head features a VacuFlush head system, a vanity cabinet with stainless-steel sink, granite countertop, and tile backsplash, forced-air ventilation, a mirrored medicine cabinet, tile flooring, and a molded enclosed shower with cylindrical sliding acrylic door, all illuminated by overhead and courtesy lighting. Forward, the VIP stateroom offers an island berth with an innerspring pillow-top mattress, a built-in bureau with three drawers, carpet in Style Trend Cut Pile, two cedar-lined illuminated hanging lockers, solid-surface countertops, a 110V grounded outlet, 24V overhead courtesy lights, and 24V reading lights—paired with an en-suite head mirroring the premium finishes: forced-air ventilation, mirrored medicine cabinet, molded shower with cylindrical sliding acrylic door, tile flooring, a VacuFlush head system, and a vanity with stainless-steel sink, granite countertop, and tile backsplash. The guest/mid stateroom completes the accommodation plan with twin bunks, overhead lighting, carpet, and a cedar-lined illuminated hanging closet, creating flexible, family-friendly sleeping for extended cruising.

Companionway

A thoughtfully appointed companionway ties the accommodations together with AC/DC system control panels behind an acrylic door, Style Trend Cut Pile carpet for quiet step, and a landing finished in wood flooring. A dedicated storage closet houses the washer/dryer, neatly central to all staterooms for effortless laundry days under way.

Hull and deck

Strength and poise begin at the waterline with a bonded “shoe box” hull-to-deck joint, hand-laid fiberglass, marine core construction, modular methodology, and thermal and acoustical hull insulation, all meeting or exceeding applicable U.S. Coast Guard safety standards and certified by the NMMA. Ten stainless-steel 12" mooring cleats, welded stainless-steel deck rails through-bolted to the deck, and a rigid vinyl rub rail with stainless-steel insert lend durability where it matters, while diamond non-skid keeps every step sure. Bonded, tinted salon and hull windows create a positive seal that eliminates water penetration, aided by a translucent opening deck hatch with screen and shade and stainless-capped through-hull fittings; a vinylester skin coat adds long-term resilience. Ground tackle is premium with a stainless-steel anchor weighing 55 pounds on a stainless-steel roller assembly, served by a Quick windlass, 200' of chain, 150' of line, and a foredeck anchor line locker, while a foredeck sunpad with integrated speakers beckons forward lounging. Anti-fouling bottom paint preserves performance season after season.

Engine room

Engineering access is exemplary, led by twin Cummins CMDQSM 11 715 engines on Zeus drives showing approximately 730 hours, all served by 24V overhead lighting and a sturdy access ladder. Daily systems are thoughtfully integrated: a 20-gallon water heater, pressurized freshwater system with tank, and overboard discharge with 24V macerator streamline hotel services. Reliability is reinforced by an engine oil change system and an engine room fire suppression system, while bilge management is robust with three 2000 gallons-per-hour pumps and two 250 gallons-per-hour units, and a manual fuel tank leveling system ensures balanced trims on passage.

Mechanical

Peace of mind underway comes from purposeful mechanicals including fuel shutoff solenoids and internal sea strainers, while Racor fuel filtration maintains clean delivery. Protection is ever-present with an audio alarm for high engine temperature and low oil pressure, ensuring the helm knows before the gauges do.

Electrical

The electrical backbone is robust and intuitive with 24V light fixtures, a 24V monitoring system, and 24V navigation lights, all managed through electrical load panels with magnetic circuit breakers for 120/240 VAC and 24V DC, complemented by breaker switches and a battery paralleling system. House power comes from eight 6V deep-cycle AGM batteries, with engine starting handled by four 12V units, managed by five battery switches and supported by a 3.0 kW inverter with a 60 Amp battery charger. Dockside power is effortless via Glendinning Cablemaster 240V/50 Amp inlets with remotes and two 50' power cords, while a sacrificial anode tied into the bonding system keeps corrosion at bay. TV/telephone hook-ups round out the shore amenities.

Utility room

A massive utility room consolidates critical systems and storage, headlined by a proprietary Battery Management System that simplifies oversight at a glance. The Onan 21 kW diesel generator—showing approximately 870 hours—resides here for superb weight distribution and service access, while a sealed access door to the bilge preserves a clean, controlled environment.
