Accommodations

Penelope accommodates eight guests in four well-appointed staterooms. The full-beam master suite features a king berth with an en-suite head offering dual sinks and a separate shower.

Two VIP staterooms aft each have queen berths and en-suite heads with showers.

Forward, a twin cabin provides two single berths and an en-suite head. A convertible gym/office on the starboard side forward offers additional flexibility for guests.

Crew accommodations support up to seven crew members, including a captain’s cabin with private head, port and starboard forward crew cabins with shared heads, and a crew pantry with full laundry facilities.

Propulsion & Machinery

Penelope is powered by twin Caterpillar 3412 TA diesel engines rated at 624 BHP each at 1,800 rpm. These commercial‑duty engines underwent a complete in‑frame overhaul in 2016 and currently show approximately 3,240 hours since rebuild on the port engine (15,140 total) and 3,304 hours since rebuild on the starboard engine (15,144 total).

Power is transmitted through Twin Disc MG‑516 reduction gears with a 5:1 ratio turning custom five‑blade propellers. Fuel consumption at a 10‑knot cruise is approximately 32 gallons per hour (mains plus one generator), delivering a 6,000‑nautical‑mile range. Naiad 503 fin stabilizers and a 100‑hp Schottel hydraulic bow thruster provide excellent stability and maneuvering control.

Electrical Generation

Electrical power aboard Penelope is supplied by two 75 kW Caterpillar 3306B generators and a new 65 kW Northern Lights night generator installed in November 2025. The port and starboard Caterpillar generators underwent top‑end rebuilds in 2022 and currently show approximately 3,500 and 3,355 hours, respectively.

The Northern Lights night generator has around 100 hours since installation. A new 70.5‑kVA Atlas shore‑power converter installed in 2023 provides global voltage and frequency compatibility, ensuring seamless operation on shore power.

Performance & Capacities

With twin Caterpillar 3412 TA engines, Penelope reaches a maximum speed of 12 knots and cruises efficiently at 10 knots. At 10 knots she offers an impressive 6,000‑nautical‑mile range while consuming approximately 32 gallons of fuel per hour (mains plus one generator). She carries 20,000 gallons of diesel fuel, 2,000 gallons of fresh water and a 450‑gallon gasoline tender refueling station, supporting extended voyages without frequent resupply.

Stabilization & Maneuvering

Penelope is equipped with Naiad 503 fin stabilizers that were fully serviced in 2021, providing excellent roll reduction both underway and at anchor. For maneuvering in tight harbors, she features a powerful 100 hp Schottel pump‑jet bow thruster that works in concert with her twin‑disc gearboxes and hydraulic steering system. Together these systems deliver precise handling and smooth control in all sea conditions.
