State-of-the-art Garmin electronics, including GPS, AIS radar, and autohelm, ensure dependable navigation. Additional features such as a bow thruster, hydraulic swim platform, dinghy lift, and crane improve maneuverability and versatility, making handling and cruising easier and more efficient.

Powered by fuel-efficient Perkins twin diesel engines with approximately 4,900 hours, the vessel offers an impressive 1,100-mile range, supported by 500 gallons of fuel, 500 gallons of water, and 100 gallons of holding tanks.
