Designed for serious long-range cruising, SEABEAR is a custom-built 72' Amanda Expedition Motor Yacht that blends proven offshore capability with exceptional onboard comfort. Designed by ASEA Yacht Designs and built to Lloyd's Class standards under the supervision of an experienced New Zealand yacht builder, she was purpose-built to safely explore Australia's coastline, New Zealand, and beyond while offering the refinement expected of a private luxury yacht.
Constructed with a steel hull and aluminum superstructure, SEABEAR offers the confidence of commercial-grade engineering paired with warm, timeless interior accommodations. Twin Caterpillar 3406 diesel engines, Wesmar hydraulic stabilizers, hydraulic bow and stern thrusters, extensive redundancy systems, and a full walk-in engine room make her an ideal platform for owners seeking dependable passagemaking capability.
Lovingly maintained throughout her life, SEABEAR has benefited from numerous recent updates, including a complete exterior repaint, fresh bottom service, new carpeting, new flybridge enclosure, new exterior sunshades, and recent engine and generator servicing. Whether cruising remote destinations or entertaining family and friends, she delivers the rare combination of reliability, comfort, and classic expedition styling.
SEABEAR's classic expedition profile immediately showcases her purpose-built design. Wide covered side decks, substantial bulwarks, teak walkaround decks, and Portuguese bridge styling provide secure movement throughout the vessel while maintaining the timeless appearance of a true long-range cruiser. Her steel hull, protected running gear, and full-length keel inspire confidence whether cruising coastal waters or embarking on extended offshore passages.
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.
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.
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.
Positioned forward of the salon, the fully equipped galley is designed for extended cruising and comfortable liveaboard use.
Features include:
Additional refrigeration, freezer space, and a commercial ice maker are conveniently located within the machinery room.
The fully enclosed wheelhouse is the operational heart of SEABEAR. Designed for extended passagemaking, it features outstanding visibility, direct side deck access from both port and starboard, and a comprehensive Furuno navigation suite.
Triple 24-inch navigation displays, electronic Caterpillar controls, hydraulic bow and stern thrusters, stabilizer controls, fuel monitoring systems, engine instrumentation, and redundant onboard systems provide confidence during extended voyages. A pullman berth and lounge seating allow crew members to remain comfortable while standing overnight watches.
SEABEAR comfortably accommodates up to eight guests in three well-appointed staterooms, plus an additional pullman berth within the wheelhouse for crew or overnight passages.
Full-Beam Master Stateroom
Located amidships for maximum comfort underway, the owner's suite spans the full beam and features a king walkaround berth, lounge seating, abundant storage, bookcase, hanging wardrobes, individual climate controls, and a spacious ensuite with dual stone vanities, Tecma electric toilet, and separate shower.
VIP Stateroom
The VIP stateroom offers a comfortable athwartships double berth with generous storage, hanging locker, individual climate controls, and convenient access to the shared guest head.
Forward Guest Stateroom
The forward guest cabin features four generous single berths, making it ideal for children, guests, or crew. Individual climate controls, abundant storage, and direct foredeck hatch access complete the accommodations.
The adjacent guest head includes a stone vanity, Tecma electric toilet, custom tile work, and separate shower.
The expansive flybridge serves as both a fully functional second helm and one of the yacht's premier entertaining spaces.
Protected beneath a custom hydraulic bimini and enclosed with new Strata Glass, the flybridge offers:
Whether underway or at anchor, the flybridge provides commanding views and exceptional outdoor living.
Forward, the Portuguese bridge enhances both safety and functionality while underway. Dual Maxwell hydraulic windlasses, oversized plow anchors, extensive chain capacity, dedicated fender storage, washdown systems, and removable sunshades make the foredeck equally practical and comfortable.
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.
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.
Twin Caterpillar 3406 turbocharged diesel engines provide dependable and economical cruising at approximately 8 knots with a maximum speed of approximately 10 knots. Wesmar hydraulic stabilizers ensure a comfortable ride, while hydraulic bow and stern thrusters deliver confident close-quarters maneuverability.
With approximately 14,000 liters of fuel capacity, 1,600 liters of freshwater, a high-output watermaker, and thoughtfully engineered onboard systems, SEABEAR was designed to comfortably undertake extended cruising with minimal reliance on shoreside facilities.
