SAMSARA is a 30m, RINA-classed, expedition motor yacht with an unrestricted navigational notation, "Any Ocean." She was designed to MCA/Lloyds Class 100A1 by noted naval architect Jon Overing and was commissioned in 2019 in Fort Lauderdale. Intended for those who appreciate the finer things in life, SAMSARA offers a perfect blend of comfort and performance. Featuring spacious living areas, robust exterior decks and a healthy inventory of sporting equipment, she is an ideal yacht for exploring coastal and distant waters. Designed to handle the worst of inclement conditions, she is an extremely efficient, stable, and safe boat due to her full displacement design- she moves through the water rather than on top of it- her hydrodynamic efficiency, round bottom, steel hull (LR steel, 8-16mm), zero speed stabilizers and light-weight marine grade aluminum superstructure. Kirschtein Interior Designs of London was used to create a live-aboard interior which is a traditional North America cherry wood with neutral colored soft furnishings. She sleeps eight guests in four staterooms with ensuite heads and accommodates up to five crew in both the forward quarters (two heads) and the engineers' cabin aft (ensuite head). SAMSARA was meticulously designed by Overing Yacht to be comfortable during long range expeditions, including tank testing, which is a method used to evaluate the hydrodynamic performance of a yacht's hull. Her extremely generous tankage for all fluids affords her long distance exploration. Having just returned for Fort Lauderdale from the Mediterranean, SAMSARA has travelled 38,000+ nautical miles from Glacier Bay Alaska to Istanbul, Turkey. She has seen over 125 ports of call in 25 countries and has transited both the Panama and Corinth Canals twice.

SAMSARA: A 100-Foot Custom Overing Expedition Motor Yacht Built for Global Exploration
Overview
SAMSARA is a 2017 Custom Overing 100-foot (30.63-meter) displacement motor yacht representing the pinnacle of expedition yacht design and construction. Built by Dauntless and designed by renowned naval architect Jon Overing, this RINA-classed vessel carries an unrestricted navigational notation—"Any Ocean "—signifying her capability to operate in the world's most challenging waters. Commissioned in 2019 and based in Fort Lauderdale , Florida, SAMSARA has already logged over 38,000 nautical miles, visiting more than 125 ports across 25 countries, from Glacier Bay , Alaska, to Istanbul, Turkey, including two transits each of the Panama and Corinth Canals. At her core, SAMSARA embodies the philosophy of long-range cruising. Her full-displacement hull design, engineered through comprehensive tank testing, allows her to move through the water rather than across it, delivering exceptional fuel efficiency and stability in heavy seas. With a beam of 25.58 feet and a maximum draft of 7.75 feet, she combines the volume needed for extended voyages with the shallow-draft capability required for exploration in remote anchorages. Her steel hull—constructed from Lloyd's-registered steel varying from 8 to 16 millimeters in thickness—paired with a lightweight marine-grade aluminum superstructure, creates a robust yet efficient platform designed to handle the worst of inclement conditions.
Hull Design and Naval Architecture
The design and construction of SAMSARA reflect meticulous attention to expedition yacht principles. Jon Overing's hull design features a full displacement form with a bulbous bow, optimized through tank testing to achieve superior hydrodynamic efficiency. This approach contrasts sharply with planing hulls; rather than riding on top of the water, SAMSARA's hull shape allows her to settle into a comfortable, fuel-efficient cruising posture that minimizes motion and maximizes stability. The steel construction—8 to 16 millimeters of LR steel—provides the structural integrity necessary for sustained ocean passages and ice-prone waters. Her round-bottom hull, combined with zero-speed stabilizers, ensures comfort during extended passages and when anchored in exposed locations. The lightweight aluminum superstructure reduces topside weight, maintaining a low center of gravity and enhancing overall stability. Teak and steel decking throughout the vessel provides durability and safety in all weather conditions. With a gross tonnage of 224 and an unrestricted "Any Ocean" classification, SAMSARA meets the highest standards for seaworthiness and operational capability. Her design accommodates eight guests across four staterooms plus five crew members, making her equally suitable for private expeditions or professional charter operations.
Power and Performance
SAMSARA is powered by twin Caterpillar 3406E diesel engines, each rated at 600 brake horsepower at 2,100 RPM, delivering a combined 1,200 horsepower. These C-rating engines drive the vessel through Twin Disc MG5114-DC gearboxes with 4.591:1 reduction ratios, equipped with FastShift technology and Vulcan couplings for smooth, responsive power delivery. Engine hours are remarkably low—port engine at 4,959 hours and starboard at 4,971 hours—indicating minimal use relative to the vessel's age and operational history. The performance envelope reflects her expedition design philosophy. At maximum speed of 14 knots, SAMSARA consumes approximately 222 liters per hour, achieving a 2,048-nautical-mile range. However, her true strength emerges at lower speeds: cruising at 10 knots, she burns only 80 liters per hour, enabling a 4,450-nautical-mile range—sufficient for true transoceanic voyages. At an economical 8.5 knots, fuel consumption drops to 50 liters per hour with an impressive 6,052-nautical-mile range, a capability that defines her as a serious expedition platform. Fuel capacity of 9,510 gallons (36,000 liters) and water capacity of 3,000 gallons (12,000 liters), combined with holding tank capacity of 1,400 gallons, support extended periods away from port infrastructure. Fresh oil and dirty oil reserves of 100 gallons each ensure proper engine maintenance during extended voyages. These generous tankage figures underscore the vessel's design intent: sustained global exploration without frequent refueling or resupply.
Electrical and Power Systems
SAMSARA's electrical architecture supports continuous operation through redundant generation and shore-power integration. Two Kilopak diesel gensets, each rated at 45 kilowatts at 1,800 RPM with three-phase output, provide primary electrical generation. An Atlas ShorPower frequency converter rated at 50 kVA accepts shore power at any voltage, frequency, or phase configuration and delivers standardized 120/208VAC, three-phase, 60-hertz power to the main panel—a critical feature for global cruising where shore-power standards vary widely. The main AC switchboard is an Atlas TecPower A-Series system distributing power through six branch AC distribution panels located throughout the vessel, each equipped with voltage transformers for equipment protection. Shore power inlets are located port and starboard, each rated at 125 amps, with the frequency converter installed between the inlets and main panel. The DC system operates at 24 volts with grounded negative configuration. Three 24VDC distribution boxes—one in the engine room supporting generator paralleling, one in the pilothouse, and one in the aft deck cabinet (both with integrated chargers)—manage DC distribution. Eight starting batteries support the main engines and generators, while eight additional batteries handle household loads. A Charles 24V/60-amp charger ensures rapid battery replenishment when connected to shore power or genset output.
Climate Control and Air Conditioning
Two Clion Marine CH-IN 87.0 air-conditioning systems maintain comfort throughout SAMSARA's extensive interior. Each system delivers 87,000 BTU nominal cooling capacity and 89,700 BTU heating capacity, with maximum cooling reaching 95,000 BTU. Operating at 400 volts, three-phase, 50 or 60 hertz, these systems accommodate the electrical standards of ports worldwide. The dual-system configuration ensures redundancy and zoning capability, allowing independent climate control of different areas of the yacht.
Helm and Navigation Systems
SAMSARA's pilothouse and flybridge helms are equipped with comprehensive Simrad bridge systems, representing modern marine electronics integration. The Simrad suite includes NSS and EVO3 multifunction displays, IS42 instruments, AP80 and AP70 autopilot controllers, and GN70/NS03 navigator units. Navigation software runs Nobeltec, with GS25 antenna systems and dual Precision-9 compasses providing redundant heading reference. The radar suite includes a Halo RI12 radar, while the autopilot system comprises SD80 autopilot and pilot controllers with rudder feedback. Speed and motion data flow through SI80 channels supporting ECDIS (Electronic Chart Display and Information System), gyro, and BAM (Battery and Alternator Monitoring) functions. An Intellian v100NX and i6W satellite communication system enables connectivity in remote waters, while a V5035 AIS transceiver provides automatic identification system capability. The pilothouse features a cherry wood helm station with black leather top, housing gauges, control equipment, and monitoring panels. A built-in L-shaped settee with table on the port side provides comfortable navigation station seating, while a built-in chart table on the starboard side supports voyage planning. The main helm seat is upholstered in black and positioned for optimal visibility and control access. The flybridge helm repeats essential navigation and engine control functions, featuring an FRP helm station with control equipment and gauges, allowing command of the vessel from the upper deck during favorable weather. A white water-proof upholstered captain's helm seat and comprehensive instrumentation enable extended topside operation.
Layout and Deck Design
SAMSARA's layout reflects her dual purpose as both a comfortable cruising platform and an expedition vessel. The main deck accommodates the pilothouse, main salon, galley, day head, and forward lounge, with direct access to the forward crew quarters and boat deck. The accommodation deck houses the master stateroom with walk-in closet and ensuite head, three guest cabins each with ensuite heads, and the captain's cabin with head. Below-deck crew accommodations include an engineer's cabin with ensuite head, crew lounge, crew cabin with head, and dedicated laund
