Open concept

Wide, stable and bright — a 26′9″ beam gives real room to spread out. A shaded cockpit, a bright open salon, generous forward and aft social spaces, and a flybridge that opens up the whole outdoors for lounging, dining and taking in the view.

Five queen cabins

Five queen en-suite cabins sleep up to ten — no one draws the short straw. Every cabin has its own bathroom and independent air-conditioning that runs all night. The layout suits friend groups and multi-generation families travelling together.

Why hybrid-electric matters at anchor

Solar panels across the top deck feed a large battery bank. At anchor, everything aboard — air-conditioning, lights, refrigeration — runs off stored power. No generator drone, no fumes, no vibration through the hull. Once you have slept on a silent boat in the BVI, you notice the noise everywhere else.
