This 1964 Benetti tugboat is a steel-hulled displacement vessel with a black hull and military green superstructure. At nearly 96 feet long with a beam of over 25 feet, she is powered by a single MAN diesel engine of 1050 horsepower, capable of cruising at 9 knots with a maximum speed of 11 knots. The deck is laid in teak and synthetic teak, and the boat features a bow thruster for enhanced maneuverability.

Additional refrigeration is located in the cockpit and on the flybridge. The boat includes a washing machine and dryer for convenience. Bathrooms feature bidets and electric toilets, and there is a safe onboard.

The boat is extensively equipped for extended cruising and professional use. Twin 40-kilowatt generators and two watermakers producing 110 liters per hour support independent operation. Climate control is provided by a 144,000 BTU air conditioning system. Navigation and communication equipment includes radar, autopilot, dual internal and external wheelhouses, and two satellite antennas. Additional features comprise a hydraulic bow crane for tenders, electric mooring winches, an electric entrance door, electric gangway, underwater lighting, fire suppression system, and video cameras in the engine room and aft deck. A Hi-Fi system with external speakers and retractable television in the saloon complete the setup.

In 2024, the ducted propeller and propeller shaft were overhauled, the bow exterior was sandblasted and treated in the anchor area, and the bow thruster motor was serviced. The chain was inspected, and in 2023 a new heat exchanger was installed.
