Our Thoughts

Valkyrie is a 2001 Crescent Motor Yacht representing a distinctive platform for serious offshore cruising and international sportfishing. At 120 feet with a 25-foot beam and 6.5-foot draft, she delivers the shallow-water capability and global accessibility that experienced captains demand, enabled by a thoughtfully engineered hull design and foldable arch structure.

The propulsion package centers on twin MTU 16V-2000 M90 diesel engines rated at 1,800 horsepower, installed new in 2011, paired with Twin Disc transmissions rebuilt in 2008–2009. This configuration delivers a 17-knot cruise speed at 1,950 RPM with an impressive 6,000-nautical-mile range at 8 knots—a capability profile suited to extended blue-water passages. Maximum speed reaches 19 knots at 2,325 RPM, while economical operation is achievable at 10 knots with a 3,550-mile range. The 9,550-gallon fuel capacity and 1,000-gallon water capacity support the extended range and crew comfort expectations of this vessel class.

Valkyrie's engineering infrastructure reflects continuous upgrading and professional maintenance. Twin Northern Lights 65-kilowatt generators (both rebuilt, with documented service hours), an Atlas electrical system (2022 update), Trace inverters, and 24-volt and 12-volt gel cell battery banks provide reliable independent power generation. Dual Village Marine 1200-gallon-per-day watermakers ensure freshwater availability on long passages. The Naiad Multi-Sea 2000 stabilizer system, American hydraulic bow thruster, Kobelt steering, and comprehensive fuel management (Alfa Laval MIB 303 fuel purifier, Sea Pro 511 fuel separator, and filtration) underscore the vessel's engineering maturity.

The pilothouse is outfitted for world cruising with a robust electronics suite centered on Furuno navigation and radar systems: dual S-Band and X-Band 96-mile radars (Furuno 2135 and 2115), three Furuno MU 190 HD and MU 150 HD screens, FCV1200L color sounder, NX-300 Navtex receiver, FA-150 Universal AIS, and RD 33 information repeaters. Navigation systems include Transas 4000 platforms (upgraded 2021) and a Furuno autopilot (2021). Communication equipment comprises dual Icom VHF radios (IC-M604 and IC-M505), Sea 235 SSB, Fleet Broadband 250 satellite communications, Sea Tel 4006 V-Sat, and Thrane & Thrane satellite phone. The pilothouse helm features a Stidd leather captain's chair, leather helm bench, large raised settee, full-size chart surfaces, and upgraded 1-inch tempered glass windshield. An office area includes Lenovo computer, NEC monitor, and HP printer/fax/scanner for administrative tasks at sea.

The flybridge provides full operational capability with a dedicated helm station, dual wing stations with jog stick controls, throttles, gear selection, and bow thruster operation. Three Stidd helm chairs sit on a raised platform, with L-shaped seating, storage, and a triangular Corian dining table. A stainless steel Ultraline grill, built-in refrigerator and icemaker, and three-sided enclosure
