Overview
Measuring 25.3m in length with a generous 6.3m beam, CURIOSITY is a spacious and strongly built motor yacht of displacement form with a GRP hull and superstructure, capped with a finely finished teak deck. Her elegant lines conceal a cleverly configured layout that effortlessly blends open-plan living with luxurious privacy.
The standout feature is undoubtedly the main deck, boasting an open-concept salon, dining area, and galley – a rare and sociable arrangement that feels more akin to a luxury penthouse than a typical yacht saloon. The atmosphere throughout is both luxurious and homely, with warm cherry wood finishes, fresh 2023 carpeting, and carefully maintained furnishings.
Accommodation
Below deck, she accommodates 8 guests in 4 en suite cabins, including a full-beam master stateroom with a Jacuzzi bath, two double guest cabins, and a twin. Crew quarters are well separated aft, providing 4 berths, a crew mess, and private facilities – ideal for professional operation or relaxed owner use.
Performance & Machinery
Powered by twin Caterpillar C32A (2 x 1400hp) diesel engines, she cruises comfortably at 19 knots, with a top speed of 21 knots and a range of approx. 500 nautical miles. Engine hours stand at approx. 1687, reflecting light use. Dual Onan 22.5kW generators, upgraded watermaker (2022), and full air-conditioning ensure true autonomy and comfort.
The engine room is a highlight – meticulously organised with excellent headroom and accessibility. Additional technical features include hydraulic bow and stern thrusters, trim tabs, and updated battery systems with Mastervolt inverter/chargers.
Electronics & Navigation
Equipped for serious cruising, CURIOSITY boasts an impressive suite of Raymarine electronics, including twin Hybridtouch MFDs, radar, AIS transceiver, autopilot, Navtex, and Starlink satellite internet. A full CCTV system enhances safety and docking ease.
Deck & Exterior
The expansive flybridge, accessed from both the aft deck and salon, is ideal for entertaining, featuring a wet bar, new bimini, and ample seating. A 21m² aft deck offers dining alfresco, while a fixed bathing platform and hydraulic Besenzoni crane provide effortless tender and water toy handling.
Included is a Williams 385 Jet Tender, and extensive inventory: twin anchors with electric windlasses, Maxwell capstans, full winter covers, life rafts, and more.
A truly rare offering on the brokerage market, CURIOSITY combines the robustness and pedigree of a Horizon build with elegant styling and a practical, family-friendly layout. Maintained to a very high standard, she is absolutely ready for the season and invites inspection.
