FULL SPECIFICATIONS

Overview

LATITUDE emerges from her latest 11-month, €3.2 M refit as a rare opportunity in the expedition-yacht market: a proven 147.5' explorer with a fresh 15-year class survey, a fully renewed technical platform, and a layout designed for luxury, comfort, and fun in all environments. Her recent overhaul went far beyond routine maintenance—engine and generator work, new shafts, complete sea-valve and tank renewal, LED conversion, rebuilt windlasses with new chain, and a host of electrical and structural upgrades—giving the next owner the confidence of a vessel reset for global cruising.
Beyond her mechanical pedigree, LATITUDE offers a guest experience that rivals yachts far larger. The sun deck is a signature space, featuring a new jacuzzi and multiple lounging areas. Inside, the sky lounge serves as a true second salon, supported by a forward master suite with its own private movie room and four beautifully appointed guest cabins. The transformation of the aft lower deck into a dedicated aquatic sports center and mini beach club—with integrated Nitrox dive system, gear stowage, and a full-beam deployable swim platform—elevates LATITUDE well beyond other yachts. The result is a mechanically refreshed, elegantly appointed vessel, ready for serious adventure or relaxed family cruising with equal poise.

Sun Deck

LATITUDE’s sun deck is the kind of space that makes larger yachts jealous. It’s an elevated, open-plan environment engineered for serious entertaining, yet every zone retains a sense of intimacy. At the center sits a large sunpad that transforms into an al fresco dining area anchored by a bespoke “Explorer’s Table,” a hand-crafted piece featuring global hemispheres with LATITUDE’s historic routes inlaid alongside the paths of other legendary explorers such as Cook, Shackleton, and Lewis & Clark.
Lighting throughout is understated by design: enough illumination for excellent visibility yet carefully tuned so it never intrudes on the night sky. The lighting design, custom-created by James Russ of New Zealand, is exclusive to LATITUDE and elevates the entire experience.
All the way forward, the jacuzzi commands a spectacular vantage point and is flanked by two private seating niches—perfect hideaways that stay connected to the energy of the deck without being exposed.
The bar is topped with solid varnished teak and fully equipped with a fridge, sink, dumbwaiter, and generous storage. A substantial counter aft of the bar serves beautifully for buffet service and could easily accommodate a permanent grill. Further aft, the custom 4 m RHIB rescue tender sits on its cradle; its crane can cleverly double as a buffet table when stowed.
Multiple seating and sunning areas fill out the deck, making it equally suited to large gatherings, intimate cocktails, or movie nights beneath the stars on the projection screen. Storage is abundant, built seamlessly into the seating and bulwarks. The deck also lends itself to enhancements—surfboard or kayak racks outboard forward of the life rafts, or even custom boards mounted as sculptural pieces inside the arch over the mid-deck seating. The entire area can be shaded with Sunbrella awnings when needed.

Foredeck

One of LATITUDE’s great strengths is the number of intimate spaces built into her design. The foredeck, just ahead of the pilothouse, is a prime example. Twin kidney-shaped teak tables sit semi-embraced by generous teak bench seating—an ideal perch for breakfast at anchor, lunch in a tropical lagoon, or quiet whale-watching with an unobstructed forward view.
Ahead of this lounge area sit the crane and jet skis, flanked by two additional built-in benches. To preserve maximum deck space, the anchor windlass is housed inside the bosun’s locker, accessed through a large deck hatch. It’s a clever big-boat solution, more commonly seen on yachts twice LATITUDE’s size, that keeps the foredeck clean, open, and available for toys.
The bosun’s locker itself is substantial, giving the deck crew real working volume for lines, fenders, and general stores. True to LATITUDE’s design ethos, storage is integrated everywhere: beneath every bench are properly sized lockers, with power and deck-wash points cleanly concealed to keep the deck tidy and functional.

Pilothouse

The pilothouse is accessible from three points: port and starboard exterior doors, plus an interior companionway. Those exterior doors showcase one of LATITUDE’s most thoughtful design details. On most yachts, watertight doors have visible “dogs”—the manual handles that secure the seal. On LATITUDE, the dogs are fully integrated inside the door itself and engage simply by lifting the handle. It’s a rare, elegant solution found throughout the boat that maintains the interior’s clean aesthetic while still delivering a proper watertight closure.
Now, to the pilothouse proper. LATITUDE features a true Portuguese-bridge design, complete with a teak-topped exterior bench just below the forward windows. It is a comfortable perch and doubles as discreet storage, concealing well-placed water and power points. Forward of the pilothouse sit two massive lockers dedicated to engine spares, filters, and critical parts. This is an important feature for a vessel built for extended passages far from support.
Dual wing stations offer excellent visibility for docking, with an ergonomic layout that makes close-quarters handling straightforward.
Inside, the pilothouse is designed for navigation and guest engagement. Polished teak floors and a generous seating arrangement in rich brown leather create a warm, elevated environment. Two tables provide a perfect spot for an owner or guest to stay in the action, enjoy a meal, or take in the view from arguably the best seat aboard.
Storage for charts and publications is abundant, and the navigation suite is extensive, with a 42-inch chart display, well-considered redundancy across the electronics, a full GMDSS outfit, and three ECDIS systems. A partial equipment list is below.

Captain’s Cabin

Just off the bridge is the captain’s cabin—a compact but beautifully considered command suite. The queen berth is intentionally elevated, allowing clear sightlines out the window so the captain can read the weather or check the horizon the moment he wakes. That raised platform also creates deep, well-organized storage below. The cabin is warm and efficient, with an ensuite head, full height hanging lockers, and a built-in entertainment system. It’s a practical refuge designed for long passages, early watch calls, and the quiet rhythm of life just steps from the helm.

Bridge Deck Foyer

At the top of the curved staircase from the main deck—an architectural feature in its own right—you arrive at the bridge deck foyer. The staircase walls are wrapped in rich, dark leather, with a handrail that blends stainless steel and leather for a tactile, contemporary feel. True to LATITUDE’s design ethos, the interior team transformed what could have been a simple passageway into a highlight of the deck. The polished stone flooring uses two contrasting stones framed with stainless inlays, and the surrounding paneling is finished in exotic woods that warm the space.
This central hub connects the pilothouse, the video-editing room, the stewardess pantry, the sky lounge, and a day head—proving once again that on LATITUDE, even transitional spaces are treated with the same attention to beauty, utility, and craftsmanship as the primary guest areas.

Video Editing Room

The video-editing room is the technical nerve center of LATITUDE and the place where the film The Highest LATITUDE was created. 
Two large monitors sit above a dedicated work desk, with storage on both sides for drones, cameras, lenses, and all the supporting gear needed for serious filmmaking. Beyond its editorial role, the space also houses the yacht’s communications backbone, serving as the central hub for satellite internet, satcom systems, onboard AV entertainment, and satellite television. It’s a compact but highly capable production suite designed for real storytelling at sea.

Bridge Deck Dayhead

Experienced yacht owners consistently ask for well-placed day heads, and LATITUDE exceeds expectations with three. The bridge deck day head is thoughtfully executed, carrying the same materials, textures, and detailing as the surrounding foyer, so it reads as a deliberate part of the design. It feels cohesive, refined, and fully integrated, rather than a utilitarian afterthought.

Bridge Deck Stewardess Pantry

The back of the house on any yacht is essential to delivering exceptional service. A proper space to make coffee, decant wine, or craft a cocktail isn’t a luxury—it’s an operational necessity. One of LATITUDE’s two stewardess pantries is positioned here, outfitted with a dedicated coffee station, dumbwaiter access, generous counter space, bar refrigerator, and thoughtful storage. There’s even a small mirror—one last check before stepping back “on stage” in front of guests.

Sky Lounge

Often favored over the main salon, LATITUDE’s sky lounge is the yacht’s true living room at sea—a versatile sanctuary where guests naturally gather. It’s the ideal setting to stream the latest release on Netflix, browse the yacht’s library of thousands of films, or simply settle in with a book as the landscape slips by.
The room is anchored by a hand-finished teak sole and a complete interior by Ruiter of the Netherlands (2015), whose craftsmanship introduces the kind of bespoke detailing found only in high-end Northern European yacht builds. Along the forward bulkhead, a single custom-built book and curio unit with leather-backed panels houses the television, a concealed spirits cabinet, display niches for LATITUDE’s numerous trophies and awards, and just the right balance of curated art.
An L-shaped Poltrona Frau leather sofa defines the main seating area, paired with a bespoke ottoman designed for book storage and relaxed lounging. A David Linley Riviera desk adds a refined architectural touch, complemented by hand-crafted door pulls by Ben Demmers that echo the yacht’s broader design language.
Surround sound, custom blinds, and layered lighting complete the atmosphere. Wide aft doors—operable in locked, automatic, or always-open modes—allow the sky lounge to transition effortlessly from a cozy enclosed cinema to an open indoor–outdoor living space connected directly to the aft deck.

Bridge Deck Aft

The bridge deck offers an expansive dining and lounging area with seating for up to sixteen, supported by a full-length sideboard for service. Large sliding panels open along both sides, providing protection from the elements while still allowing the space to breathe. A stainless-and-teak spiral staircase connects seamlessly to the sun deck above and the main deck below.
Outboard companionways flank the sky lounge, each offering out-of-eyesight stowage for kayaks, surfboards, or windsurfing gear. Aft, a broad settee spans the full beam, with generous storage beneath for cold-water survival suits, life jackets, and other emergency equipment—items you hope never to use but want immediately at hand.
Two teak tables and comfortable chairs complete the aft seating arrangement. It’s an adaptable space, equally suited to discreet people-watching while stern-to in St. Tropez or sipping hot cocoa as polar bears drift past on ice floes. And yes—the polar bear moment really did happen.

Main Deck

On the main deck, LATITUDE carries two passerelles: a starboard side-boarding ladder and an extended aft gangway. Both fold away cleanly and present beautifully when deployed. The passerelles are finished in teak with polished stainless handrails that match the yacht’s overall aesthetic. In addition, there is a MarQuip port-side boarding ladder off the crew entrance.
Wide, open companionways on both port and starboard lead forward to the foredeck, and as you walk the side decks, the yacht’s solidity is unmistakable. The bulwarks are thick and capped with a broad varnished teak rail supported by substantial stainless stanchions.
Aft, the seating and greeting area echoes the bridge deck layout but introduces its own character with round teak tables, a stone-topped credenza just to port of the main salon doors, and direct access to the beach club and watersports center below. The large stainless bits and winches remain visible rather than hidden—they serve as sculptural reminders that you are aboard a serious, seagoing vessel. On LATITUDE, function becomes its own form of art.

Main Salon

Entering through the wide automatic aft doors, you step into a warm, contemporary salon anchored by taupe Poltrona Frau sofas, accented by aubergine leather chairs and light tan herringbone fabric wingbacks. These pieces gather around a coffee table crafted from exotic woods, chosen to harmonize with the subtle exotic wood accents throughout the room. A television is discreetly concealed within a custom cabinet that provides a gentle spatial division between the lounge and dining areas.
The overall layout is open plan yet thoughtfully layered. Low partitions and carefully placed furniture create zones of intimacy without ever feeling enclosed. A tailored rug, end tables, and soft lighting complete the seating area, while the photo art—polar bears, lions, elephants, big cats, and exotic birds—serves as a visual reminder of LATITUDE’s voyages and a tribute to her mission of “going on adventures and photographing wildlife.”
The dining area seats fourteen around a beautifully proportioned table crafted from complementary woods. To starboard, a world map is subtly integrated into the trim work—an elegant, almost hidden feature perfect for voyage-planning sessions with guests and family.
Both sides of the room are lined with finely detailed cabinetry beneath the windows, providing abundant storage for wine, cutlery, plates, and cups. A hidden door off the main deck stewardess pantry offers immediate access for meal and beverage service. All windows are fitted with automatic privacy blinds, allowing the atmosphere to shift instantly from bright and open to warmly cocooned.

Main Deck Foyer

The main-deck foyer serves as a central junction of the yacht, finished in polished stone with stainless accents and framed by warm exotic wood paneling. From here, guests can move aft to the main salon, forward into the master suite, or descend the curved staircase leading to the guest cabins.
To starboard, a side door opens directly to the deck and connects with the side-boarding ladder for efficient alongside boarding. A day head sits just off the foyer, positioned discreetly yet finished to the same high standard as the surrounding spaces. Hidden within the paneling is a subtle crew-only entrance that leads to the galley and service areas, allowing the crew to move efficiently without crossing guest paths.

Galley

LATITUDE’s galley is a true working kitchen, equipped for everything from refined dinner service to expedition-style provisioning. A full Miele induction suite forms the culinary centerline. Two deep stainless-steel sinks anchor the prep areas and keep workflow efficient.
A large window brings in excellent natural light and gives the space an open, comfortable feel for long service days. Refrigeration is abundant, with generous fridge and freezer capacity built directly into the galley cabinetry, and additional refrigeration located in the upper tech space for extended voyages or large guest groups. Below is a partial equipment list.

Master Suite

Master Suite
Entering the main deck forward master suite, you first pass through the combined movie room, library, and study, an inviting anteroom that introduces the owner’s private domain. A large built-in sofa in soft gray fabric runs along the outboard side, doubling as a daybed for film nights or quiet reading. The accent furniture is wrapped in black crocodile, including a signature piece crafted by Delta Marine’s master furniture makers with a hidden compartment, its location known only to a select few. (Step aboard and you may get the secret.)
The space also features a generous wall area designed specifically for artwork and books, giving this transitional room the feel of a private gallery/library as well as a cozy retreat.
Beyond this, the full-beam master suite opens across the yacht’s width. The queen-sized bed sits at the center, with ample room to convert to a king if the next owner prefers. Flanking it are night tables with plentiful power points, and surrounding the room are extensive storage drawers, built-ins, and cabinetry integrated seamlessly into the millwork. A cedar-lined walk-in closet provides additional volume for long cruises or seasonal wardrobes.
The ensuite includes a full bath and shower, heated stone floors with a separate head and bidet. Elsewhere, white wool carpeting softens the atmosphere, while a large desk offers a proper workspace for correspondence, editing photos, or charting future voyages. A comfortable sofa adds a secondary seating area, and the television remains hidden inside a custom credenza to preserve clean sightlines.
Like the movie room, the master suite offers excellent wall space for art—ideal for photography, paintings, or expedition mementos—allowing the owner to personalize the space without clutter.
Finished in the same rich wood palette seen throughout the yacht, the master suite and study form a quiet, spacious, thoroughly equipped, and comfortable private retreat.

Guest Cabins

Coming down the main guest staircase, you enter a spacious foyer finished in inlaid stone with wood and leather-paneled walls—a design detail echoed throughout LATITUDE’s finest spaces. The foyer serves as the central junction for all four guest cabins. A striking painting anchors the starboard wall, adding color and presence, while a large mirror on the port side provides the perfect spot for a final check before heading to dinner or stepping ashore.
Behind a discreet, flush panel is a generous stewardess storage area, more of a well-organized supply room than an active workspace, allowing crew to access linens, amenities, and guest essentials.

Starboard Forward Guest Cabin

The starboard forward cabin is the most versatile guest space aboard. It includes a queen-sized bed, a built-in daybed, and a cleverly concealed twin Murphy bed—ideal for families or groups needing adaptable sleeping arrangements. Storage is excellent, with a significant amount of hidden volume beneath the main bed and additional integrated cabinetry.
The ensuite, finished in stone with a walk-in shower, maintains the same cohesive look and feel as the rest of the yacht’s guest baths. A television and surround sound make the cabin equally suited for evening cinema or quiet downtime.

Port Forward Guest Cabin

The port forward cabin mirrors the comfort and flexibility of its starboard counterpart. 

Port Aft VIP Guest Cabin

The port aft cabin trades convertible berths for increased wardrobe space and a more expansive ensuite layout. It features a walk around queen sized bed with hidden under berth storage, plus full-height closets ideal for longer charters or guests traveling with more kit.
The ensuite offers a full bath and shower, finished in stone and styled to match the yacht’s overall design language. A TV and surround sound are included.

Engine Room

LATITUDE’s engine room is arranged for straightforward service and long-range operational reliability. The space reflects the vessel’s documented maintenance history (2013 to today), with consistently disciplined care across her life and a comprehensive mechanical renewal during the recent 10-month, €3.2M refit. The CAT 3412 main engines and Kohler generators sit in an organized, well-lit environment with upgraded plumbing, hydraulics, cabling, and system runs. Access to filters, strainers, pumps, and service points is direct, and noise and vibration management remain controlled. The result is a clean, logically laid-out technical space that supports efficient maintenance and dependable performance on extended passages.

Crew and Supernumerary Accommodations

In addition to the captain’s cabin, LATITUDE has five crew cabins, each with its own ensuite head. A spacious crew mess sits at the heart of the crew area, adjacent to the laundry room and providing direct access to both the upper and lower technical spaces.
The fifth cabin, located just off the aquatic sports center and adjacent to the engine room, includes an additional bunk for supernumeraries; pilots, dive guides, bear experts, or other specialists brought aboard for specific expeditions.

Beach Club and Aquatic Sports Center

If Enzo Ferrari had been asked to design a module for the 1965 space shuttle, somewhere between Thunderball, Thunderbirds, and a Jacques Cousteau undersea lab, the result would look remarkably like the aquatic sports center on LATITUDE. It isn’t just a gear room; it feels like a retro-futurist mission bay, a blend of Italian performance design, sixties sci-fi engineering, and pure expedition capability.
At its core sits LATITUDE’s dual-nitrox dive compressor, a machine so striking it seems meant to rise out of the floor on hydraulic lifts with dramatic music. Finished in Ferrari Fly Yellow, it’s widely regarded as one of the finest systems aboard any private yacht, arguably even most commercial vessels. Designed and built by the legendary Moon Dog and Nitrox Bob, names that sound pulled from a Bond dossier but belong to two of the best technicians in the field, the unit features eight air banks and the capacity to fill six tanks simultaneously. A remote fill station at the beach club, paired with an extra-long whip, means tanks never need to be hauled off the tender. It’s the kind of operational efficiency Cousteau would respect and Q would enthusiastically approve.
The atmosphere of the room leans into a full Thunderbirds-launch-bay aesthetic. Fishing rods and spear guns sit at the ready like tools in a submarine armory. Fins, masks, and wetsuits fit perfectly into their designated slots, surrounded by slat board and stainless accents that give the space a clean, mid-century technical vibe. A Starboard (nylon) worktable provides a rugged surface that won’t scratch equipment, with an overhead drying rod tucked discretely above.
The flooring is soft, barefoot-friendly faux teak: comfortable, non-skid, and visually warm while still fitting the retro-futurist mood. The room flows intuitively, everything in its place, everything ready for immediate deployment.
Walking into LATITUDE’s aquatic sports center feels like stepping into the launch bay of an underwater exploration craft, part Bond villain lair, part Cousteau dive module, part mid-century Italian supercar garage. It’s where the yacht’s spirit of adventure becomes tangible, and where every dive, every expedition, every aquatic mission begins.

Beach Club

There are two ways down to the beach club either directly from the aft deck or through the aquatic sports center so guests can move easily between the water and the main decks. When the large stern door lowers, it becomes a wide, stable swim platform that feels like a natural extension of the yacht. It’s also the primary point for tender pick-ups and drop-offs, making water transfers smooth and efficient.
Once deployed, the platform adapts effortlessly to the day’s activities. A freshwater shower is built into the structure for rinsing off after a swim or dive, and deck chairs can be arranged at water level for a relaxed, private spot by the sea. Sunbrella shade awnings can be rigged when desired, creating a comfortable, sheltered space without losing the connection to the water.
When raised, the platform closes into a clean, seamless plane. The swim ladder stows neatly inside, along with the tender fender system and the teak protection panels used during tender operations. The beach club transitions easily between boarding point, expedition base, and relaxed lounging area.

2025 Refit

LATITUDE has just emerged from one of the most comprehensive refits in her history, driven by the full requirements of the 15-Year Class Survey and an owner-mandated mechanical program designed to reset the yacht’s operational clock. Although the main engines (Caterpillar 3412s) show 15,756 hours (Stbd) and 15,607 hours (Port), and the Kohler 100 kW generators show 11,004 (Stbd) and 10,704 (Port), these numbers now reflect machinery that has been thoroughly opened, inspected, serviced, cleaned, aligned, documented, and certified at a depth far beyond routine maintenance.
This is not “high hours” this is proven hours backed by one of the most exhaustive mechanical interventions in the vessel’s life, building on the 2016 refit where both generators were replaced, the extensive 2021 works, and the most recent 11-month, €3.2M refit period which completed the full 15-Year Class Survey and renewed every major mechanical, structural, electrical, and tank system onboard. As part of this program, we also removed the tender cradle and reconfigured the aft lower-deck arrangement, adding an additional cabin for crew or supernumeraries and transforming the area into a dedicated aquatic water sports center and mini beach club. And let’s not forget a new sun deck Jacuzzi. Here are some but not all of the items addressed in this past refit.

Brokers Remarks

Few yachts have lived a life as storied as Latitude. She has been the subject of films, books, and international coverage; discussed in Harvard Business School lectures and maritime academies as a case study in management, seamanship, and organizational excellence. I have been privileged to be part of her story since 2013, sharing in a record that includes multiple Boat International award nominations (and wins), an award-winning film, and the Explorers Award presented by Prince Albert of Monaco. 

Everywhere Latitude traveled, she built a reputation for professionalism, capability, and integrity.
The next owner of Latitude is not simply acquiring a yacht; they are inheriting a brand. Latitude’s name carries weight on par with, and in some circles greater than, the most recognized Northern European builders. Her reputation was earned mile by mile, expedition by expedition, accolade after accolade. What you are purchasing is more than a vessel, it is a legacy.  A vessel with a proven history of going places few yachts have ever dared to travel. Most importantly, we had fun doing it.
