General information

At twenty-three point seventy-seven meters overall with a beam of six point one meters, the yacht presents an imposing profile, standing eight point fifty meters high with the masthead light excluded and nine point ninety-seven meters with the masthead light included. A design draft of 1.24 m and a propeller draft of 1.52 m balance shallow-water access with confident offshore capability, while a load displacement of 56 t assures a resolute, sea-kindly ride. Long-range autonomy is delivered by a 5000 L fuel capacity, complemented by 700 L of fresh water, 300 L of grey water, and 300 L of black water. Performance is effortlessly poised between nineteen to twenty knots at cruising speed and twenty-five to twenty-six knots at maximum speed, and the yacht carries CE B+C certification for added assurance.

Power is entrusted to a VOLVO D13-IPS1350 hp x2 package (VOLVO PENTA, origin in Sweden), burning diesel with clean, efficient tractability and fingertip control. Precision low-speed maneuvering is bolstered by a DC24 TT300 bow thruster (“Lewmar,” origin in UK), while complete engine instrumentation, control devices, and electronic interfaces are installed at both helm positions and supplied with the Volvo engines. DC24V trim tabs with anticorrosion protection (“BENNETT,” origin in USA) fine-tune running attitude, and the hydraulic tender lift at the swimming platform—H+B, 1200 kg, origin in Germany—effortlessly manages tenders and toys.

The hull and structure are crafted in FRP with an immaculate gel coat finish, the exterior color rendered to the design specification using DSM gel coat (origin in Holland). Osmosis resistance is enhanced with vinylester resin surface layers, specification 901-TP. The core strength comes from multi-axial stitched fiberglass and unsaturated polyester reinforced construction, while a PVC-cored sandwich structure optimizes stiffness and weight. The hull bottom is protected by antifouling paint (blue water, origin in Singapore). Structural integrity is further secured by watertight bulkheads in 25 mm PVC (custom made, origin in China).

On deck, every detail is engineered for reliability and elegance. The ground tackle features a stainless steel calibrated chain of 100 m with a diameter of 12 mm (origin in China), paired to a 24 V/3000 W electric anchor winch by “QUICK” (origin in Italy) and a robust 50 kg anchor (Xinghua, origin in China). Clear vision is maintained by twin DC24V windshield wipers by “Exalto,” and an authoritative DC24V marine horn with twin horns by TMC (origin in Taiwan) announces your presence. Night navigation is assured by DC24V navigation lights, while safety rails in SS316 lend confidence under way. Mooring is handled by SS316 cleats and fairleads (custom, origin in China), and deck drains in SS316 (custom made, origin in China) keep exterior areas dry and pristine.

The exterior and interior furnishings reflect a bespoke ethos. Wood panel finishes are offered with pattern options, with color and pattern to be confirmed, while wall and window frame treatments in microfiber leather await the same curated selection. The interior sofa is an integral, custom-made piece upholstered in microfiber leather, and the exterior sofa sits on an FRP base with plush microfiber cushions. All interior furniture—including tables, chairs, sofas, mattresses, and more—is customized to the design. Interior flooring features laminate wood (color and pattern to be confirmed), while bathroom areas are appointed with marble flooring. Underfoot luxury continues with teak flooring across the aft cockpit and swim platform, the flybridge, and the foredeck and side decks. A glass sliding gate with a stainless steel frame opens to the main deck saloon. The main deck helm station is finished with integral leather upholstery and a refined panel (custom made, origin in China), while the flybridge helm station is an integral molded FRP console with a white gel coat (custom made, origin in China). Practical safety is ensured by a foredeck escape hatch, and command comfort is elevated by captain’s seats—two at each helm station. Entertaining areas are anchored by teak tables both in the aft cockpit and on the flybridge. The galley presents handmade wood panel cabinetry with a matching wall cupboard, complemented by custom-made manual curtains (origin in China). The bathroom features a separate shower compartment framed in aluminum with 8 mm tempered glass. The front windscreen is fashioned in 5+5 thermal bending laminated clear glass by “FUYAO” (origin in China), while the side windows use 6+6 thermal bending laminated grey glass by the same maker, and the hull side watertight window glass is 8+8 laminated tempered grey glass by “FUYAO” (origin in China). Portholes are LS-1020/LS-1000 by “MANSHIP” (origin in Taiwan). Aft deck safety is enhanced by a dedicated safety door, and convenience is elevated with a deck wash faucet. After dark, the waterline glows with ten LED underwater lights, Gen 4 12 Series by “Aqualuma” (origin in Italy).

At home on the water, the yacht is equipped with a refined suite of appliances: a disinfection cabinet by Siemens or other premium maker, a refrigerator by Siemens or other, a WAECO mini bar, an electric grill by Siemens or other, a microwave oven by Siemens or other, an induction cooker by Siemens or other, and a range hood by Siemens or other. The electric flush toilet runs on DC24V by “TECMA” (origin in Taiwan). Televisions are specified according to layout needs, and a background sound system by Fusion (origin in New Zealand) fills the interior with crisp audio. For practicality on long cruises, an integrated washer-dryer “Siemens WN42A1X81W” stands ready.

Electrical architecture is robust and intelligently specified: a single AC220V/27 kW generator by “ONAN” (origin in USA) supplies dependable power, supported by VICtron battery chargers at DC24V with outputs of 100 A, 60 A, and 40 A (origin in Holland) and twin 5 kW VICTRON inverters. Dedicated battery banks include 200 Ah x2 for the port engine (origin in China), 200 Ah x2 for the starboard engine (origin in China), 120 Ah x2 for the generator (origin in China), 200 Ah x6 for household appliances (origin in China), 200 Ah x2 for the anchor winch (origin in China), and 120 Ah x2 for the navigation system (origin in China). Shore power connectivity is via AC220V/63 A x2 inlets by Marinco (origin in USA). A DC24V rudder angle indicator by “KUS” (origin in China) provides precise helm feedback. Safety systems include an engine room automatic fire extinguisher MA21500 by Fireboy (origin in USA) with an alarm device at the main helm station, as well as a TS1-V10 fuel visual gauge and monitoring system by “BEP” (origin in USA).

Climate is masterfully controlled by a marine integrated air conditioning system with cooling and heating by “GREE” (origin in China).

The navigation and communication suite centers on Raymarine excellence: AXIOM XL 16" color radar displays at both the flybridge helm and the main deck helm (origin in UK), a “Raymarine 45STV” satellite antenna (origin in UK), a 4 kW Raymarine strip radar, and a Raymarine autopilot system. Directional assurance is provided by a DC24V high-speed magnetic compass by “RITCHIE” (origin in USA), while ship-to-shore comms are handled by a Raymarine VHF radio system operating on DC12V at the main helm (origin in UK).

For owners seeking further personalization, optional items include an FRP molded hull finished in premium polyurethane paint with exterior color per design (“AWLGRIP” PU paint, origin in Singapore), Volvo D13-1000 x2 engines delivering a maximum speed of nineteen to twenty knots with that configuration, and a Besenzoni PI395C gangway (origin in Italy).
