Support vessels are typically built with long-range cruising capabilities to follow expedition yachts into remote regions for extended periods of time, and HULL 6711 is no different: She uses the SEA AXE platform for excellent performance even in rough conditions and is capable of a range of 4,500 nautical miles while cruising at a comfortable 16 knots and has a top speed of 22 knots, achieved using four MTU 16V 4000 M63L engines.
