Overview
About this vessel
The 2004 Oceanfast 174 Motor Yacht, "MIZU," is a 53.03-meter aluminum yacht with a unique design and robust construction. Oceanfast is known for pushing design boundaries, and this motor yacht is no exception. Its aluminum hull and superstructure contribute to its remarkable speed and efficiency for a yacht of this size. The hull design, coupled with powerful MTU engines, allows for a top speed of 28 knots, which is exceptional for a yacht of this displacement. It boasts transpacific and transatlantic range, making it a true global explorer.
The 2x MTU 16V4000 M90 engines, totaling 3,750 hp, are well-regarded for their reliability and power. The 2023 refit included thorough inspections of all tanks and thru-hull valves, indicating a proactive approach to maintenance. The aluminum construction provides strength, lighter displacement, and enables higher speeds and better fuel efficiency than comparable steel vessels. The hull design is proven for sea-keeping, capable of handling varied conditions, a necessity for a yacht with true transatlantic capability.
The interior layout of "MIZU" is designed for luxury and comfort, featuring an Asian-inspired Modern-Deco aesthetic. A dedicated Owner's deck provides privacy and expansive space, a highly sought-after feature. The yacht offers seven heads, accommodating a substantial number of guests and crew. The oversized windows throughout create bright, airy spaces, connecting guests with the surrounding seascape. An impressive sundeck features a 14-person Jacuzzi, bar, and sun loungers, perfect for entertaining. The upper deck home theatre with integrated AV/IT systems ensures modern connectivity and entertainment options. Storage for two 25-foot tenders on the aft deck speaks to its capability for serious cruising and watersports.
"MIZU" underwent significant upgrades in both 2016 and 2023. The most recent refit addressed interior carpet, new sundeck teak, and comprehensive system checks. The Bureau Veritas (BV) class inspection, completed in September 2023 and valid until September 2028, confirms its adherence to stringent commercial standards. This commercial registry status ensures the yacht meets high safety and operational benchmarks. The extensive refit and recent classification demonstrate a commitment to maintaining its condition.
Oceanfast's aluminum construction is a hallmark of their build quality. For a buyer prioritizing speed, range, commercial compliance, and a distinctive design, this Oceanfast 174 Motor Yacht is a yacht built for serious cruising and entertaining, with its current state suggesting it is ready for its next owner.
