Classified under ABS (American Bureau of Shipping), she meets rigorous safety and build standards expected of a true expedition yacht. Her three-deck configuration allows for extensive onboard facilities while maintaining excellent sea-keeping ability.
Power & Performance: Long-Range Efficiency
D’NICE is powered by twin Cummins KTA19-M3 engines, each producing 600 HP, giving her a cruising speed of 10 knots and a top speed of 12 knots. With 26,498 litres (7,000 USG) of fuel capacity, she boasts an impressive range of 5,000 nautical miles, making transoceanic voyages well within reach.

For added stability, D’NICE is fitted with retractable fin stabilisers, making long passages more comfortable.
