She was built in 2012 and underwent a major engine room refit in 2020 and interior refit in 2022.

Four guest cabins are below deck and are comprised of two double cabins and two twin cabins, all with their own ensuite.
She is the perfect platform for entertaining and relaxing, with expansive exterior space and two on-deck Jacuzzis – one on the sun deck and one at the bow, which is unheard of for a yacht of this size. With multiple areas for formal and informal dining, sunbathing and relaxing, or having drinks with close friends, the possibilities are endless on PATIENCE with her versatile layout.
PATIENCE comfortably cruises at 12 knots, reaching a maximum speed of 15 knots with a range of 3,500nm at 10 knots. She is also equipped with zero-speed Naiad stabilization at anchor and underway for extra comfort while at sea.
