Refined hull designs based upon extensive tank testing for stability, sea-keeping, operating efficiencies.

Deck-loading capacities and hull volumes are extraordinary allowing for new superstructure and incorporating expedition yacht equipment and custom facilities. 

Tankage allows for ocean-crossing range and long at-sea endurance.

Diesel-electric power combined with podded propulsion provide more efficient propulsion system, less pollution, increased operational efficiency, especially at slow speeds, and flexibility in locating machinery compartments, less noise and vibration.

• Existing systems can easily be upgraded for hybrid operation with integrated battery systems, and next-generation fuel-cell and hydrogen systems.​

Azipod propulsion system

• eliminates shafts to save space and reduce vibration 

• Great maneuverability - the propeller can turn in all directions and enables superior crash maneuvering stop distance

• Azipod can be placed below ship’s height and provide more efficiency than conventional systems.

• two (or more) azipod systems, independent from one another, can be used to provide subtle maneuvering.

• Side thruster's use is eliminated as pods can be used to provide side thrust.

Dynamic Positioning

• ​Maneuverability is excellent; it is easy to change position.

• Not dependent on water depth.

• Quick set-up.

• Allows access to environmentally protected reefs and sanctuaries
