The vessel is set up with a commercial grade tripod aluminum mast structure that supports a large cargo boom winch assembly. The boom has two electric winches for controlling port-starboard and up-down movement separately. This boom would easily launch the RIB shore boat and load or offload cargo and supplies. The structure houses the radome and other navigational components. No wire rigging is involved as this is connected to the deck structure and no sails are available or intended for use.

Length over all - stem to stern - is 52 feet.

This is a heavily built commercial fishing vessel originally designed for offshore tuna fishing that has been exceptionally well refit in design and construction as a long range private expedition yacht. The hull construction is robust and intended for offshore use. With the available fuel tankage of 3,600 gallons the vessel has a range of over 3,100 nautical miles at 8 knots speed with a ten percent fuel reserve. When operating at 6 to 7 knots cruise speed the fuel economy would improve further and the cruising range would increase dramatically making this a true transoceanic vessel.

The conversion to an expedition-capable yacht matches the commercial capability with well thought out systems and features fine quality finishes and domestic components.

The thorough nature of the engineering refit is evident in elements of construction such as:
- electrical wiring in conduit for safety and ease of replacement/modification;
- deck ladders and companionways designed for safe use and emergency egress from the command bridge and other areas;
- a Viking 24 inch commercial range with matching exhaust hood in a galley that includes a large separate pantry and professional kitchen prep area and commercial grade refrigeration and freezer components
- redundancy in systems including a three-way heating system for the vessel.

Waterline Boats / Boatshed does not independently verify capacities and measures, which are reported from seller-provided information and/or literature.

The vessel employs a three deck design with staterooms and engine room on the lower deck, helm and living spaces on the middle deck, and a full exterior upper boat deck with helm station. Main deck access is through aft double doors, port and starboard midship doors, and a port side door at the helm.

Enter from the aft cockpit through double doors to the main salon. This space is raised one step for improved visibility and features a cork floor to dampen sound transmission to the master cabin below. A sofa is located to starboard. The salon features large windows for an excellent view to the outside. To port is an entry door to the side deck and a marine head compartment as well as a companionway staircase to the lower Master Suite.

To forward on the starboard side is the deck access door where a writing table is located. Forward next is a nicely trimmed dinette with a large window.

Forward opposite the dinette is a room complementing the galley as a large prep area with commercial double stainless steel sink and counter space. Ample storage in drawers and shelving is built in to this area. The galley cooking, refrigeration, and additional counter space is across from this room.

Appliances include:
- Viking 24 Inch Commercial Grade Propane range and oven;
- Viking 24 inch range hood;
- Isotherm Model 3190BA5C00000 Drawer 190 Refrigerator 6.7 CuFt;
- Isotherm Model 1090BC1MK000 Cruise 90 Stainless Steel Deep Freezer 3.2 CuFt;

To port from the galley is a companionway staircase to the upper deck. Next to this is an enclosed pantry.

Forward is the helm station which spans the full width of the cabin and features a port side door for access to the main deck. There is a large chart table and ample storage in drawers and lockers. Two Todd helm chairs are mounted here. Large forward sloped windows are shielded from the sun by the extensive upper deck. To port companionway stairs lead down to the forward stateroom and office.

The full beam owners Master Stateroom is accessed from a stairway to port in the main salon. This leads to a sitting area with storage and a large mirror just outside of the door to the stateroom. The walk-around queen sized berth is athwartship with a large closet and ample storage in cabinetry built in to the space. The ensuite marine head compartment includes a fine installation of a tub and shower in a tiled enclosure along with a sink and vanity cabinet.

The engine room is accessible from the master stateroom through a watertight door.

The engine room is well designed and spacious with full headroom. The main engine is surrounded by safety rails and features a dry stack exhaust. Copper tubing is used extensively for fluids and plumbing and electrical wiring is cleanly installed in conduit and properly secured. The washer and dryer are in the engine room along with the generator and battery banks.

Another watertight door seals the engine room from the forward office and stateroom.

The office is a unique and useful space that is well trimmed with a concrete countertop desk and illuminated bookcases. A spacious and nicely trimmed marine head compartment with shower is located to starboard in this space.

The forward cabin has a v-berth with filler to make into a double berth. Above the v-berth are additional upper single berths to allow for sleeping four persons in the cabin if needed. Ample storage is available in drawers and lockers and the bow thruster motor and batteries are located below the v-berth for access. Companionway stairs provide access from the forward stateroom to the pilothouse.
