A light and comfortable interior belies her serious pedigree and capabilities. Grey Wolf's strong and lightweight aluminium hull ensures long-range cruising distances of up to 5,100 nautical miles while remaining fuel-efficient. Her extreme weather capabilities and capsize recovery capacity provide peace of mind in even the most sudden of weather changes.

Her smaller size and shallow draft allows Grey Wolf access to many bays and coves that larger yachts would be cut off from, giving guests a unique opportunity to visit some of the world's last areas of pristine and untouched beauty.

A range of toys, equipment and medical supplies onboard cover guests for a range of locations and activities ranging from extreme sports and fishing to photography and wildlife watching. The comfortable and bright interior with large windows giving excellent views of the outdoors ensures guests never miss out on the action even in inclement weather.
