Natural teak wood is used form the main deck and swim platform, and once the toys and tenders are launched this spacious area can be used for sunbathing and alfresco dining, made all the better with the 100″ TV screen.
The wheelhouse is designed with 360-degree views so that the crew can monitor the water toys during transit in rougher sea conditions, and this compact go-anywhere support vessel has a pair of MAN engines of 800 HP each for a cruising speed of 12 knots.
