The Outer Reef 640 Azure is a proper cruising ship designed for long-range, comfortable journeys. It's built with a semi-displacement hull, making it capable of handling serious seas with ease.
Engine Room and Crew Space
The heart of the Outer Reef 640 Azure lies in its crew space and engine room. It features twin 500 horsepower John Deere engines, offering a range of 1,500 miles at 7 knots or 1,000 miles at 10 knots with its almost 4,000-liter fuel tank. The engine room is designed with redundancy in mind, featuring dual Racor filters, twin generators, and track hydraulic stabilizers that can switch power sources if needed.
Cockpit and Saloon
The cockpit is a sheltered space with a flybridge extension that provides shade for the outdoor dining area. The side decks are deep and wide, ensuring safe and secure movement around the boat. The saloon is spacious and connected to the cockpit via large sliding doors and a drop-down window, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor living space. The aft galley layout is designed for serious cooking and entertaining, with ample workspace and natural light from large windows.
Flybridge
The flybridge offers a commanding view with a central helm, upright ship's wheel, and a navigator's seat. It features a mini Portuguese bridge with a seating area, allowing guests to enjoy the view while remaining out of the helmsman's way. The flybridge also includes a large open deck space for free-standing furniture or tender storage, and a substantial American-style barbecue.
Accommodation
The accommodation deck is accessed via a gentle curving companionway. The VIP forward cabin is slightly narrower than some, but this design enhances the boat's stability and comfort at sea. The guest cabin features twin beds and ample natural light. The owner's cabin is full beam amidships, with high port holes for safety and storage. It includes a cedar-lined walk-in wardrobe and an ensuite bathroom with real stone and wood finishes. There is also a technical space accessible from the owner's suite, allowing easy maintenance of the boat's systems.
Additional Features
The boat is designed with practical cruising in mind, featuring numerous access points to bilges and technical spaces, ensuring that any maintenance can be performed efficiently without dismantling the boat. This attention to detail and emphasis on redundancy and accessibility makes the Outer Reef 640 Azure a reliable and comfortable choice for long-distance cruising.
