Without a doubt one of the most stunning hard top motor cruisers that you will ever see. Described by Motorboat & Yachting as 'The Ultimate Drivers Boat' she offers performance and comfort to an equally high standard. Whether you are a cruising couple or have lots of family and friends, her layout in both cockpit and below decks is spacious and well laid out.
Ensuite owners cabin with double berth and a guest cabin that can be used as two singles or another double with use of an infill. Cleverly laid out galley with induction hob and fridge. Comes complete with both reverse cycle air conditioning and Webasto heating.
Her current custodian has maintained her to a very high standard with regular servicing to both her engines, stern drives and the often overlooked generator. Boasting a Raymarine navigation package that covers all eventualities, this desirable craft is ready to go.
Mechanical
Vessel is powered by twin Volvo Penta D4-260 diesel inboards with EDC controls and fly-by-wire throttles. Volvo DP sterndrives with bronze G7 propellers. The vessel will cruise happily at 25 knots burning a respectable 14.4 gph@3000 rpm. Top speed should you desire and the conditions allow is a heart stopping 37 knots. The engine bay is situated at the rear of the cockpit and accessed via an electrically operated engine hatch. This allows access for servicing and daily checks. The driving position is central which gives the helmsman a far greater perspective when under way. The co-pilot position is to starboard with dedicated chart area. Sporty carbon fibre dashboard with full engine instrumentation. The dashboard moulding is grey which minimises glare.
The engines have completed 895 hours on the port engine and 873 on the starboard engine. The engines have been regularly maintained during her present ownership with the most recent in February 2024. Her starboard sterndrive was completely replaced in 2022 following an incident with a submerged object. Her port sterndrive was stripped and overhauled in late 2022 as a preventative measure.
There is an upgraded MaxPower bow thruster to aid manoeuvrability.
Bank of 4x12V batteries providing engine start, domestic power and bow thruster power. These are recharged via the engine alternators and onboard smart charger. The shore power cable has its own home in the cockpit moulding which leaves the cockpit uncluttered. 12/240V switch panel on entrance to saloon with illuminated rocker switches
There is a 4Kva Paguro 230V 50Hz diesel generator. This was installed brand new in June 2021. This is an ideal addition and provides power when berthed on a swinging mooring or on an un-serviced pontoon. This will drive all the essential services including refrigeration, air conditioning and the electric hob.

Accommodation
The interior was designed by Tony Castro, the renowned superyacht designer. The result is luxurious comfort with practical application. The cabinet work is is a combination of solid wood and veneers finished in a high gloss lacquer. The seating in the saloon is wide and finished in easy clean leatherette. The port holes are large and let in lots of natural light. They are also fitted with attached flyscreens ready to deploy if required.
The main saloon is entered from the port side of the cockpit by a lockable sliding door, Two steps down and you enter the saloon. To port is the curved seating area with solid wood embossed table. The table has a folding leaf.
In the bow is the 'Owners' cabin with large double berth. This is raised allowing the space below to be accessed for storage. There is a hanging wardrobe to port and a dressing table to starboard with two large cupboards below. There is a large deck hatch fitted with both black out and fly screen blinds. 12V lighting and deck head lighting. Air conditioning and heating outlets.
The heads is huge and can be accessed from both the forward cabin or the saloon. There is an electrically flushed ceramic heads. Space saving curved sink unit with stainless steel bowl and pull out shower head. Hull mounted, mirrored vanity units with his and her units. Opening port with fly screen. 12V deck head lighting. Teak grate with shower sump pump below.
Returning to the saloon and on the starboard side is the galley. Mr Castro has been very inventive here and has placed the sink unit on what would of been the dead space of the aft bulkhead adjacent to the saloon steps. This means that someone can use the hob, access the fridge whilst someone is doing the dishes. There is no gas onboard hence the generator option. There is a 2-burner ceramic induction hob, a Brand New Microwave oven and a large front opening Isotherm fridge for perishables. There is another fridge serving the cockpit situated at the top of the saloon steps so no great hardship to reach for a beer whilst relaxing in either the cockpit or the saloon.
The aft cabin is one of the best i have seen on a 35 foot motor yacht, Full standing headroom on entry with hanging wardrobe, dressing seat and cupboard storage, A small step down and there are two single berths or the option to convert to double by adding an infill. The step down increases head hight when sitting up in bed which is an important feature, Lots of natural light from the hull port light as well as the additional hatch to the cockpit. 12V lighting throughout as well as air conditioning and heating outlets.
