Further options include an A-frame on the main aft deck for submarine launch and recovery, a helicopter hangar and a raised, certified heli deck with maximum take-off weight of 3,700kg.

Her interior offers 499GT of volume, with various layout arrangements available for different purposes. Depending on layout, she can accommodate 6 to 16 guests and/or staff on the main deck with separate quarters on the lower deck for 10 to 12 crew. In the standard arrangement there is a skylounge aft of the wheelhouse with panoramic views and a comfortable lounge/dining room on the main deck with with big windows on three sides. The owner’s suite is towards the aft end of the main deck accommodation to maximise motion comfort, with a separate dressing room and large en suite bathroom. Three or four other guest cabins are further forward on this level.

A typical payload of tenders and toys might include a 16-metre, 14.5-ton powerboat, a U-Boat Worx C-Researcher submarine, four Sea-Doo PWCs, an Icon A5 seaplane, a crew tender and two Range Rover SUVs.
