This 86’ (26.21m) expedition-style motor yacht was built by Carey Shipyard in New Zealand in 2007 and designed by Richard McBride of McBride Design Ltd. With a full-displacement fiberglass and epoxy sheathed, 50mm Macrocarpa carvel hull, teak decks, and Naiad stabilizers, TASMAN was made to take on rough conditions without compromising comfort. Carey Shipyard’s reputation for bespoke expedition yachts shines through in Tasman’s ocean-crossing capability, powered by twin Yanmar 330hp engines, offering a max speed of 14 knots and a cruising range of 2,400 nautical miles at 10 knots. Her shallow draft suits diverse destinations, though not specifically Bahamas-optimized.
