Our Thoughts

The 2012 Outer Reef Yachts 700 Motoryacht *UNBRIDLED* represents a rare opportunity to acquire an Ocean Class A–rated, long-range cruising motor yacht with a highly desirable and uncommon cabin layout, comprehensive recent systems upgrades, and professional ongoing management.

Vessel Overview & Layout

At 71.42 feet with an 18.5-foot beam and 5-foot draft, this hand-laid-up fiberglass hull with PVC foam sandwich construction delivers the seaworthy, proven platform Outer Reef is known for. Unlike the standard three-forward-cabin configuration typical of 70-foot and 72-foot Outer Reef models, *UNBRIDLED* features an exceptional arrangement: three full staterooms forward, each with en-suite head and shower, plus two additional full cabins aft with a shared head and shower. This layout provides superior flexibility for family cruising, guest accommodation, and crew comfort—a significant departure from the single aft crew cabin found on comparable vessels. The interior showcases satin-varnished teak throughout, teak flooring, cedar-lined hanging lockers with automatic lighting, granite countertops in galley and heads, and new carpet. The salon features an L-shaped settee with recent soft goods, entertainment center with lifting television, and removable gas-lift coffee table. A pilothouse with dual Dutch doors, Stidd helm seat with deluxe chrome base and Ultra leather upholstery, and full-visibility windows provides comfortable command and control.

Propulsion & Performance

Twin Caterpillar C-12 Acert diesel engines (705 bhp each) with ZF transmissions deliver reliable, efficient power. The port engine shows 2,821 hours and starboard 2,834 hours—moderate service time for a vessel of this class. These engines are paired with a full suite of recent mechanical service: C-12 full service with impellers, belts, and fluids completed September 2025; aftercoolers replaced; SeaTorque transmission service in 2024; and professional fuel system polishing with all three fuel tanks cleaned. The vessel cruises at 9 knots and achieves 14 knots maximum speed, with 2,600 gallons of fuel capacity supporting extended offshore passages. Twin Northern Lights 20kW generators (port 1,487 hours, starboard 1,715 hours) with sound shields provide independent power generation; both sets were retimed and adjusted from 50Hz to 60Hz to accommodate US power supply with appropriate transformers and receptacles installed.

With 2,600 gallons of fuel capacity and 400 gallons of fresh water, the design supports extended offshore passages without frequent refueling. The original owner also specified an ABT Trac 300 Star Zero Speed hydraulic stabilizer system—a significant upgrade that addresses motion in a seaway and contributes to comfort during extended cruising. With an estimated replacement value exceeding $5.3 million and a current new-build lead time of approximately 30 months, *UNBRIDLED* offers immediate availability as an established, proven platform ready for her next owner's adventures.
Hull Construction and Structural Design
The hull and superstructure employ hand-laid-up fiberglass reinforced plastic (FRP) with PVC foam sandwich construction above the waterline, a time-tested composite method favored for durability and structural integrity on long-range cruising yachts. Vinylester barrier lamination protects against osmosis, while five coats of epoxy primer and two coats of block anti-fouling paint seal the bottom. The deck and house also feature hand-laid-up FRP with PVC foam sandwich construction, supported by full-length longitudinal engine stringers and athwartship stringers that distribute loads and minimize flexing. Windows throughout the salon and pilothouse incorporate 3/8-inch and 1/2-inch tempered glass respectively, designed to withstand offshore conditions while providing visibility for navigation and passage planning. The bilge area is finished smooth and coated with epoxy paint for cleanliness and corrosion resistance. The integrated Quiet Roll spray rail system reduces spray penetration during rough water transit, while the WheelHouse Technologies Marine Maintenance System provides centralized monitoring and documentation of onboard systems. The vessel maintains CE certification from original build and carries a stainless steel breast plate at the bow for protection during anchoring or docking operations.
Engine and Propulsion Systems
Twin Caterpillar C-12 Acert diesel engines, each producing 705 brake horsepower, drive the vessel through ZF transmissions with electronic instruments installed at both the pilothouse and flybridge helm stations. At the time of inspection, the port engine had logged 2,821 hours and the starboard 2,834 hours—relatively modest figures for a 2012 model and indicative of measured cruising rather than continuous hard use. Both engines are supported by an Evolution anti-vibration system with soft engine mounts that reduce vibration transmission throughout the hull and cabin spaces. The fuel system incorporates dual Racor 75/1000 maximum fuel filters for the main engines and single Racor filters for the generators, with a professionally maintained fuel polishing system that removes water and particulate contamination. Stainless steel rudders with bearings and stainless steel struts with bearings provide steering response and directional control. SeaTorque shafts and Nibral propellers resist corrosion in saltwater environments, while line cutters on both shafts protect against fouling by fishing nets or debris. The underwater exhaust system with bypass and fiberglass mufflers reduces noise transmission into the cabin and minimizes thermal signature. Teleflex hydraulic steering at both helm stations ensures responsive handling, with emergency steering capability to lock the rudders ahead in the event of primary system failure. VDO rudder indicators at both helms provide visual confirmation of rudder angle, while a wood Outer Reef steering wheel at the pilothouse helm offers traditional ergonomics and tactile feedback.
Stabilization and Thrusting Systems
The ABT Trac 300 Star Zero Speed hydraulic stabilizer system—a significant upgrade from the standard Outer Reef 700 configuration—actively reduces roll motion even when the vessel is at rest, substantially improving comfort during extended cruising in beam seas or when anchored in swell conditions. This system represents a meaningful investment in seakeeping and passenger comfort on long passages. Twin ABT Trac 38-horsepower hydraulic bow and stern thrusters provide independent thrust vectoring at both the pilothouse and flybridge helm stations, enabling precise maneuvering in confined spaces, tight anchorages, or challenging docking scenarios without reliance on main engine thrust. Dual AGM batteries dedicated to thruster operation ensure reliable performance, while the dual-station control architecture allows seamless transition between helms.
Electrical Systems and Power Generation
The electrical architecture supports extended cruising and full-hotel-load operation through a comprehensive battery and generator installation. Two Northern Lights 20-kilowatt diesel generators, each equipped with sound shields and running at 1,487 and 1,715 hours respectively, provide 120/240-volt AC power for air conditioning, galley appliances, water heating, and entertainment systems. The generators are supported by Mastervolt 12-volt and 24-volt battery chargers, allowing seamless transition between shore power and onboard generation. House batteries comprise twelve 8-amp-hour gel cells divided into two banks, while engine start batteries consist of four AGM cells in two dedicated banks, and generator start batteries add two additional AGM cells. This segregated battery architecture prevents discharge of one system from affecting others, a critical safety feature on offshore vessels. Two battery isolators manage charging and load distribution, while a 24-volt DC to 12-volt DC converter allows operation of 12-volt systems when the primary house bank is at 24 volts. A Mastervolt solar charging system is wired throughout the flybridge ceiling, with infrastructure in place for future panel installation. An Xantrex 5.0-kilowatt inverter/charger supplies 120-volt AC power from the house batteries when generators are offline, supporting critical systems and comfort loads during quiet cruising or anchoring. A Charles ISO boost isolation transformer provides galvanic isolation from shore power, protecting sensitive electronics and reducing stray current corrosion. Navigation and courtesy lighting includes LED fixtures throughout the interior and exterior, with automatic lighting in wardrobes and chart lights at both helm stations. Overhead LED fixtures in the salon and staterooms provide adjustable illumination, while rope-style valance lights at the salon and staterooms offer ambient accent lighting. The engine room benefits from dedicated LED lighting for maintenance tasks, and Aqua Signal navigation lights ensure compliance with international maritime regulations. The main electric distribution panel incorporates gauges and circuit breakers with accessible wiring raceway throughout the vessel. All electrical outlets feature ground-fault protection in heads and exterior locations. A copper bonding system connects all underwater fittings and zinc anodes, preventing galvanic corrosion. An engine battery interconnection system allows cross-charging when necessary, while two Danforth 5-inch magnetic compasses provide independent backup navigation reference.
Helm Stations and Navigation Electronics
The pilothouse helm station features a Stidd chair with deluxe chrome base and Ultra leather upholstery, positioned for optimal visibility and ergonomic support during extended watch periods. Port and starboard Dutch doors allow rapid egress to the side decks, while Phantom screens protect against insects during anchoring in tropical waters. A teak grab rail on the salon ceiling provides secure handholds during rough seas, and opening galley windows allow natural ventilation when conditions permit. The navigation system represents a comprehensive recent upgrade, with three Garmin GPSMAP 8622 large-format 22-inch multifunction displays and two GPSMAP 8617 17-inch displays installed at the pilothouse helm, providing redundant charting, autopilot control, and integrated system monitoring. Four additional Garmin GPSMAP 943 9-inch displays are positioned throughout the vessel for crew situational awareness and system diagnostics. Radar capability includes a 6-foot 25-kilowatt GMR 2526 xHD2 open
