Built in 2009 by the respected Spanish shipyard Astilleros Polinautica, this 13.40-metre professional-grade motor vessel is a rare opportunity to acquire a robust, high-performance platform ideally suited for commercial operations or heavy-duty private use. With a strong workboat pedigree, practical deck design, and hydrojet propulsion for exceptional manoeuvrability and shallow-water practicality, she is positioned as a dependable, fast-response vessel with documented maintenance history and regulatory classification in place. Currently located in Galicia, Spain, she can also be delivered fully repainted to buyer preference for refreshed aesthetics and long-term hull protection.

Construction, Registry & Operational Rating
Constructed in durable polyester (GRP) with a 3.84m beam, the hull offers strength, impact resistance, and reduced maintenance compared to traditional materials. The vessel is registered under the 5th Registry and holds Classification III/S, confirming compliance with applicable operational standards for designated categories. The deck layout supports secure fore-and-aft movement with practical working areas and protected cockpit functionality—reflecting a vessel built to perform, not just to be seen.

Engines & Hydrojet Propulsion Advantage
Performance is driven by twin MAN D0836 LE 401 inboard diesel engines delivering a combined 900 HP, paired to 4-stroke Hamilton hydrojets. This configuration delivers rapid acceleration, exceptional low-speed control, and enhanced safety due to the absence of exposed propellers—especially valuable for shallow waters, debris-prone routes, and close-quarters operations. The hydrojet system also eliminates the need for a bow thruster, since directional thrust control supports precise docking and confident manoeuvring.

Speed, Range & Capacity Systems
The vessel cruises at approximately 22 knots and reaches a maximum speed of 36 knots, balancing efficient operational passage-making with rapid transit capability. Fuel capacity is 1,000 litres, with freshwater capacity of 200 litres. Hydraulic steering provides responsive helm control, while redundancy and safety are supported by four bilge pumps plus one hydraulic pump for effective water management.

Documented Service History (Major 2022 Works)
A comprehensive service was completed in September 2022, including full overhaul of cooling and electrical systems. Importantly, both engines were removed and inspected at an official MAN workshop, where they underwent general maintenance and cleaning—adding meaningful transparency and buyer confidence for a professional operator or commercial buyer.

Interior Layout & Onboard Comfort
The vessel includes two cabins and is licensed for up to 12 passengers. A regulation-compliant WC and a separate shower improve comfort for longer operational days. The saloon features a central table for functional seating, briefing, or crew coordination. A practical galley includes a stove and an electric refrigerator for onboard catering needs. Comfort and utility systems include air conditioning, a battery charger, and 220V shore power connection for reliable dockside power. Entertainment equipment includes a CD radio and television.

Deck Protection, Anchoring & Utility
Weather flexibility is supported by a cockpit sun awning, forward sun canopy, and a full camper canvas enclosure. An electric windlass supports safe anchoring operations, while aft-mounted davits add utility for equipment handling and operational support roles.

Navigation, Communications & Safety (As Listed)

• Radar, GPS, depth sounder
• Two VHF radios
• EPIRB (radio beacon)

Ownership, Inspection & Closing
With Classification III/S status and a clearly documented 2022 service programme (including MAN workshop inspection), this vessel is positioned as a well-maintained asset suitable for transport routes, pilotage services, island connections, support operations, or specialised maritime duties where speed and manoeuvrability matter. Buyers are encouraged to conduct an independent inspection and sea trial to verify hydrojet responsiveness, machinery condition, and overall system performance. The vessel can be delivered fully repainted in a colour chosen by the buyer using epoxy or polyurethane marine paint systems for durable finishing.
