Her steel hull, protected running gear, and full-length keel inspire confidence whether cruising coastal waters or embarking on extended offshore passages.
Aft Deck
The covered aft deck is designed for relaxed outdoor living, featuring wraparound lounge seating, a beautiful teak dining table for up to eight guests, teak decking, LED lighting, and convenient access to the day head. The space is equally suited for alfresco dining, entertaining at anchor, or simply enjoying panoramic views while underway.
Swim Platform
The teak swim platform offers easy access to the water with stainless safety rails, integrated swim ladder, heavy-duty mooring cleats, and direct access into the machinery room through a watertight bulkhead door.
Salon
Large panoramic windows fill the salon with natural light, highlighting the yacht's rich timber joinery, leather seating, and warm traditional styling. Separate lounge areas create inviting spaces for relaxing or entertaining, while the hidden electrically-lifting television, Yamaha surround sound system, and custom cabinetry provide modern convenience without sacrificing the yacht's classic character.
Heavy-duty stainless sliding doors seamlessly connect the salon with the aft deck, creating an open and welcoming entertaining space.

Machinery Room
One of SEABEAR's standout features is her expansive machinery room, offering exceptional accessibility for maintenance and long-range cruising. Thoughtfully arranged, the space houses a dedicated workshop, spare parts storage, dive compressor, additional refrigeration, commercial ice maker, laundry facilities, and all major mechanical systems with excellent service access throughout.
Owners planning extended cruising will immediately appreciate the engineering philosophy behind this yacht.
Engine Room
The full walk-in engine room reflects the level of craftsmanship found throughout SEABEAR. Twin Caterpillar 3406 diesel engines are complemented by twin Onan generators, a 25kW engine-driven cruising generator, hydraulic systems, fuel polishing equipment, fuel transfer system, Racor filtration, Victron charging systems, watermaker, inverter, and comprehensive monitoring equipment.
Designed with extensive system redundancy, SEABEAR is exceptionally well-equipped for independent cruising while remaining straightforward to maintain.
Mechanical & Performance
Twin Caterpillar 3406 turbocharged diesel engines provide dependable and economical cruising at approximately 8 knots with a maximum speed of approximately 10 knots.
