Vessel walkthrough

From the moment you take the wheel, the helm inspires confidence with twin Garmin touch screen displays—twelve inch and sixteen inch—set alongside a precision compass, a Quick chain counter with integrated windlass controls, and a custom steering wheel that feels tailored to your hand. At a glance, LED lights confirm bilge pump status, while a dedicated stabilizer control panel keeps the ride composed. Close-quarters handling is effortless via the Volvo Penta joystick, matched to Volvo Penta controls and Volvo Penta ignition/start/stop buttons, as a Garmin VHF radio keeps communications clear. A stainless steel foot rail supports a steady stance, and a neatly arrayed switch group manages the chain wash valve, navigation lights, anchor lights, instrument lights, and windshield wash for intuitive, fingertip command.

On deck, the yacht’s elegant lines are complemented by a hydraulic swim platform with cushions and generous storage including two lockers for storage and space under seating, all finished atop teak decks that glow under courtesy lights and underwater lights after dusk. The exterior detailing is a study in craftsmanship: a mahogany lower rub rail pairs with a stainless steel rub rail, carbon fiber grab rail, mahogany handrails, a mahogany planked bow, and a custom horn with flagstaff, all framed by a tinted windshield with a stainless steel frame. Seamanship features abound, from stainless steel cleats and chocks to capstans to port and starboard, a stainless steel anchor carried on approximately 200’ of chain rode, and bow fender storage to keep gear shipshape. Everyday comforts are thoughtfully integrated, including drink holders, stereo speakers, a mahogany table on a stainless steel pedestal, and an automatic bimini top, while practical utilities such as a freshwater spigot with hose, shore water connection, and handheld shower sit within easy reach. An Opacmare passerelle simplifies boarding, and the sliding hatch to the interior leads you past a Vitrifrigio refrigerator, a built-in locker with waste bin, and a locker with recessed dual sink and cutting board—ready for effortless entertaining.

Beneath the cockpit, the engine room is engineered for access and reliability, with an aluminum diamond plate deck, carbon fiber air intake vents, and bright LED lights. Fuel management is straightforward with a forward fuel sight glass and valves, and protection is enhanced with Racor fuel filters to each engine, a battery switch, and a Side-Power breaker for the bow thruster. A 110-volt outlet supports service tools, while blowers and a high water alarm stand guard alongside a transducer that feeds the electronics with clean data.

Power comes from Volvo Penta D13-1000 engines, the port engine serial number 2013911458 and the starboard engine serial number 2013911456, turning through ZF500-II V gearboxes with a 1.964:1 ratio, the port gearbox serial number 20342196 and the starboard gearbox serial number 20344194. The driveline is completed by five-bladed Veem propellers for smooth thrust. Ship’s power is assured by an Onan 13.5 generator, model 13.5MDKDN-8140A, serial number E190565840. Handling and comfort are elevated by a Side-Power electric bow thruster and a Seakeeper NG6 gyro stabilizer. Critical systems include a 24-V DC bilge pump, a 40.6-kg HFC227A cylinder, an electric hot water heater, and a Lofrans anchor windlass.

The electrical architecture is robust and neatly organized, featuring a 50-amp 220-volt shore power cord feeding comprehensive distribution through a 24-V DC electrical panel and a 120-V/240-V electrical panel. Energy storage comprises six 12-volt AGM batteries for service and four 12-volt AGM batteries for the engine, supplemented by a 12-volt AGM battery dedicated to the generator. Charging is handled by a Mastervolt 24-volt 60-amp battery charger and a Mastervolt 12-volt battery charger for the generator, ensuring quick recovery and dependable autonomy.

Inside, the saloon showcases warm mahogany woodwork and leather-wrapped wall panels, refined by electric blinds and large hull side windows with opening port holes that flood the space with light.

The galley is designed for gourmet simplicity, anchored by an Isotherm ice maker, a fridge, and a GE microwave, with a sink and a two burner cooktop set beneath electronic blinds and a large hull side window. Surfaces are open and efficient, making meal preparation underway or at anchor a pleasure.

The head is accessible from both the saloon and the bow stateroom, finished with a solid surface countertop and a raised sink served by a single lever faucet.
