Owner Experience Review
Owners gravitate to the Custom TrideckfromKNIGHT & CARVERas a genuine live-aboard and guest‑friendly platform: five ensuite staterooms plus separate crew spaces, three expansive decks, and multiple social zones (a large salon, flybridge bar, deck jacuzzi, and full walk‑around decks) support family time and entertaining. The owner’s stateroom is often described with a private deck and picture windows, and the galley is set up for serious provisioning with granite counters, a Sub‑Zero refrigerator, and commercial‑style appliances. It also appears regularly in charter and event contexts, reflecting its capacity and flow.
Underway, this displacement/semi‑displacement tri‑deck is built for comfort over outright speed, typically cruising around 10–11 knots with a reported top near 12–13 knots. The ultra‑wide beam (about 28 feet) and fitted stabilizers are repeatedly credited with steady behavior, and the very large fuel capacity (listed around 20,439 L) underpins an approximate 2,500‑nm range at about 10 knots—appealing for long‑range cruising or expedition‑style itineraries.
Ownership expectations should account for system complexity and age‑appropriate refit cycles. Twin Caterpillar 3412 mains are commonly listed; some boats also note three generators and two water‑makers, which adds capability but increases service demands. Documented works include an extensive 2009 refit (paint, new electronics, new generators, stabilizer seals, new teak decks) and later updates around 2021 (LED, appliance/electronics). Construction is cited as fiberglass/composite with a solid mahogany core, which calls for vigilant moisture monitoring and potential core repairs where needed; broker notes such as major thru‑hulls replaced, a fresh bottom job, and stabilizer seal work indicate an active maintenance history.
Pros and Cons
- Pro: Five ensuite staterooms on three decks with separate crew suit family live‑aboard life, entertaining, and charter scenarios.
- Pro: Long‑range capability of roughly 2,500 nm at about 10 kt is supported by very large fuel capacity.
- Pro: Ultra‑wide beam and stabilizers deliver notably stable behavior for the yacht’s size.
- Con: Modest top speed around 12–13 kt prioritizes volume and comfort over fast passages.
- Con: Wood‑core fiberglass/composite construction requires vigilant moisture monitoring and possible core repairs over time.
- Con: Twin CAT 3412s plus multiple generators and water‑makers noted in listings add system complexity and ongoing service requirements.
