The full displacement steel expedition yacht was engineered by Dennis Als and fitted with dual main engines, with both bow and stern thrusters. The aluminium superstructure features an oversized flying bridge and aft deck that can easily fit a 22ft tender.
The robust steel hull and large working area on the foredeck, with its massive, polished dual steel capstans, are part of Miss Lisa‘s commercial heritage. It’s clear teak decking and finely crafted finish deck details emphasise a yacht-quality finish throughout the hearty world cruiser.
The interior is bright, flooded with daylight views, with blonde honey-toned anigre hardwood put together with nearly 30 custom mouldings. Finished in a casual Nantucket/beach decor, the yacht has the feel of a much larger vessel.
The commanding view from the fully-appointed flying bridge supports full-time operation with three Stidd Helm seats, a hard-top, and a sprawling semi-circular settee. There’s also a dining table set back far enough for protection from all but the most severe weather.
A palatial galley with exquisite satin-finished joinery is amidships on the yacht. The teak sole with maple inlays is stunning, and this central gathering point on board has both a large settee to port and casual bar counter seating.
The sky lounge features an unobstructed, open layout, combining wheelhouse and lounge to form panoramic views for all guests on board. It features an entertainment area, desk, bar, and over the shoulder access to the captain as well as the dazzling bridge displays.
Expedition yachts are all about long-distance cruising. The yacht’s comfort, practicality, and usability are clear throughout the custom treatment of the spacious wheelhouse/skylounge area. Here, Artese created a nautically-savvy interior reminiscent of a classic sailing yacht.
The large main-deck master stateroom has the same casual décor, with stylish joinery, large cedar closets, a desk and vanity, and an expansive master head with a sprawling walk-in shower. The yacht’s sound insulation package makes the engines all but undetectable in this stateroom, even when underway.
One of a rugged breed of Bering Sea styled boats, the Miss Lisa boasts a high flared bow with compound curves. Her sea-keeping ability is not only sweetened with the yacht-quality fit and finish, but also by tremendous interior volume and a bulbous bow—plus 4,900 litres (1,300 US gal) of fuel tankage and a commercial-rated go-anywhere attitude.
