BROKER'S COMMENTS

- ADDITIONAL PHOTOS AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST -

COMPASS ROSE represents a compelling opportunity in the 45–50m expedition segment. With 9,000+ nautical mile range, aluminum construction, and 621 GT of volume, she offers true long-range capability rarely found in this size bracket. Her extensive tender inventory—including a 42’ Gamefisherman and 30’ Munson landing craft—positions her uniquely for serious exploration, fishing operations, or remote cruising programs.

The yacht benefits from a 2015 refit and has been professionally maintained. Twin Caterpillar 3508B main engines provide reliable, proven performance, and her mechanical spaces are well laid out for service access. Accommodations for 10 guests and 10 crew allow for either private family use or high-capacity operational deployment.

She is an ideal candidate for an owner seeking global capability without stepping into the 60m+ category. Inspection strongly encouraged for buyers considering expedition-style platforms, support yachts, or long-range private cruising programs.
