The 77-meter (253-foot), steel-and-aluminum Samar was launched from Devonport Yachts in Plymouth, United Kingdom, last
July. With naval architecture by the Laurent Giles studio and interior styling
by Joe Thome, the five-deck motor yacht has accommodations for 14 guests in
addition to the owner and is capable of extended global cruising, with a range
of 6,000 nautical miles and cold storage provisions for 44 people (including
crew).
The interior layout has a guest elevator through four deck
levels and two separate service lifts for the crew, plus a full-fitted
gymnasium, steam room and both hot and cold pools on the upper deck. Notable
features include three-meter headroom throughout the main deck and a wet dock in
the aft garage for a 42-foot tender and two other tenders. The helipad is
designed to house a Bell 407 helicopter with refueling facilities, three Jet
Skis and a MINI Cooper cabriolet.
The yacht is powered by a diesel-electric propulsion system
consisting of three Wärtsilä 1,530-kW diesel generators and two 2,414-hp drive
motors with twin fixed-pitch, five-bladed propellers. Combined, they provide a
top speed of 16.5 knots and a cruising speed of 12 knots.
