Introducing THEA, an extraordinary vessel that is sure to impress even the most discerning buyers. With a full displacement, twin screw long keel design and a cold moulded timber hull comprised of 4 layers of 12mm planking, laid diagonally, the hull boasts an exceptional thickness of 48mm throughout. This, coupled with the close framing and diagonal planking, ensures unparalleled strength and durability.

Powered by twin Caterpillar 3408 engines, THEA can achieve a maximum speed of 13kts and a cruise speed of 10kts, while her 21,000 ltr fuel capacity ensures long-range capability. Four tastefully finished en-suite guest cabins, a Captains cabin and a further crew bunk cabin provide ample accommodation for all.

Originally built in 1979 in Junk Bay, Hong Kong by Kong & Halvorsen Marine & Engineering Company, THEA has a rich history that is sure to impress. Her builders, Joseph Kong (formerly GM of American Marine Co. ) and Harvey Halvorsen, have a combined family history of boat building that dates back to 1887 in Norway and from 1924 in Australia. During World War II, the Halvorsen family built over 250 boats for active service for America, Netherlands, and Australia, and gained a well-deserved reputation for building reliable, strong, and well-designed boats.

After being sold to the current owners in Greece, she underwent a complete rebuild from 2012 to 2014, during which time her hull was extended by approximately 2 metres. She has since undergone yet another substantial refit, bringing her to A1 condition and ready for new adventures.

With its classic appearance, modern systems, and clever redundancy and flexibility, THEA is truly a labour of love for the current owners. We are thrilled to introduce you to this stunning motor yacht and invite you to embark on your own exciting journey with THEA.

Accommodation
THEA offers four unique cabins for guests, each with its own distinct layout and perspective. The private Master Cabin is located aft and can be accessed through its own companionway, leading from the salon. Upon entering the cabin, guests will find a small foyer that leads to a translucent glass panel separating it from the master bathroom. This feature allows diffused light to flow between the two spaces. The centrally positioned King-sized master bed faces forward and comes with a flat-screen TV on an electric lifter concealed at the foot of the bed. Guests will also find a leather-topped working desk and bookshelves to port, with drawers, cabinets, and wardrobes to starboard. A fridge is located in a cabinet to the port side.

The Master Cabin is full-beam and benefits from ample light and airflow provided by opening hull ports. It is tastefully decorated with teak floors, marble counter tops, and an upholstered bulkhead aft. The master head and shower is particularly spacious and light, thanks to the translucent 'wall. ' The en-suite is finished with contrasting mosaic tiles, black marble floors, and a timber deckhead. It comes with a Vacuflush head, full shower stall, and Italian 'Gessi' brand high-rise faucet and washbasin.

The other two double guest cabins are located forward of midships and share a second companionway situated to starboard, leading from the dining room just aft of the main deck day head. This companionway leads to an athwartships corridor, providing access to the two guest cabins.

The starboard guest cabin is fore and aft and comes with an en-suite bathroom. This cabin is flexible, with one single berth opposite a long sofa that can be converted to be a twin cabin or a double. An occasional pullman berth could be fitted here. The cabin comes with a TV, working desk, and chair. Large hull ports provide ample light and ventilation. The cabin is finished in teak, with mosaic, marble, and contrasting colors in the en-suite head and shower.

The port guest cabin features a queen-size double berth, which is positioned athwartships and faces out to the hull windows. A Thai silk headboard is featured, and again a working desk and TV can be found. This cabin is larger than the portside cabin, and the en-suite head and shower are finished with glass panels and marble.

On the Upper Deck, located directly behind the wheelhouse, is the 4th guest cabin, which would ideally suit an owner/driver or anyone who enjoys a cabin with ultimate views and access to a private deck. This cabin features a Queen bed positioned to port facing aft, a particularly large en-suite bathroom, and hanging lockers and a working desk to starboard. Sliding timber doors open up to the deck and a large, sheltered seating area with a table for dining or conversion to a day bed. This deck is fully shaded by a fixed stainless steel bimini, and an open area is found further aft with space for the tender when underway or three aft-facing lounge chairs when the tender is deployed.

All cabins are tastefully finished with teak flooring and offer plenty of storage. Marble, glass, and granite have been used throughout the bathrooms, stairways, and galley.

The crew accommodation can be accessed by a crew companionway leading forward from the galley. The captain's double cabin is found in the bow, with a second twin cabin just aft. These cabins share a well-appointed head. These cabins are voluminous, with increased head height, ample light, and ventilation. Either of these cabins could easily be used as additional guest cabins.

Galley
The galley is found on the portside running fore and aft and is a true chefs delight. It is fully fitted with appliances, including a commercial gas range, and has a full height fridge, dishwasher, microwave and oven. Corian counter tops are deep and run outboard of the galley below the opening windows. A double stainless sink and a rubbish solution that empties out via deck access show that much thought has gone into the functionality of the galley. Indirect lighting, and bright glass panels make this a wonderful space on board.

Forward of the galley, taking the forepart of the boat from port to starboard is the utility area that leads to crew accommodation and features a chest freezer, icemaker, washing machine and dryer.
Electrics
THEA is fitted with single and three phase connections. The vessel also has an ASEA 12KW power converter for when 240V shorepower is unavailable. Selector switches allow choices between either of the two generators or shore power to the main bus bars.

The vessel features both 24V and 12V DC. All DC systems on board are 24V except for the navigation suite on the bridge, and starting and charging system for the generators.

The Main Engine start batteries were new in 2022. Alternators for each engine provide charging for their dedicated start batteries and the house batteries. The engine start batteries also have independant chargers for each battery bank.

The house batteries are all new in 2023 and consist of 12 batteries providing a maximum of 2000 A/Hr at 24V.

There are 8 x 250W solar panels which can also supply charge input to the house batteries.

Remarks
THEA underwent an extensive rebuild in Thailand between 2012 and 2014. The hull was stripped to the frames and the stern section aft of the transom was lengthened. New wiring, hose, fittings and equipment were installed. Approximately 30 ribs were replaced and the hull was entirely retimbered. All portholes were converted to larger, strengthened ports to allow safe egress. The engines and generators were rebuilt. THEA remained in Langkawi, Malaysia through the pandemic with very little use possible. She was hauled at a shipyard in March 2021 for a complete repaint (from Navy blue hull to Oyster White), varnish and mechanical upgrades as needed. She will be launched back to the water in April 2023 and any new owner will immediately benefit from the refit work undertaken.
