Project Raptor Motor Yacht

Twelve guests across 6 cabins, with a crew of 20 to run her: those numbers set the scale for Project Raptor before anything else. She is a custom build, due in 2029, stretching to 97 metres, an explorer by style, the kind of motor yacht built to cover distance.

Build and provenance

She is a custom build, still under construction and due for delivery in 2029, with a steel hull and an aluminium superstructure: steel low down for strength and weight where it helps stability, aluminium above for less weight aloft. At this stage a buyer is effectively commissioning a yacht still being built rather than surveying a finished one.

Layout and accommodation

Twelve guests aboard Project Raptor are accommodated across 6 cabins, spread over 6 decks, with a crew of 20 to run her, a ratio that points to round-the-clock service rather than a skeleton crew. Her gross tonnage carries the same scale: 4,100 GT across those six decks.

Performance and engineering

Diesel-electric propulsion drives azimuthing pods rather than conventional shafts, a system built for efficiency and close manoeuvring over outright pace: she cruises at 16 knots. At a beam of 14.6 metres she carries the width her 4,100 gross tonnes implies, and zero-speed stabilisers hold her steady at rest, off an anchorage rather than mid-passage.

Where she lies and how to see her

Project Raptor is being built in Vigo, Spain, where Boatcrowd can arrange a viewing of the build in progress and be there for it. Once she is complete and an offer is accepted, survey and sea trial follow before handover.
