Blount Marine
The 2008 retrofit transformed the Lloyds certified 1978 offshore supply vessel
into the Pacific Provider expedition yacht by adding a superstructure to
include: guest staterooms, additional crew quarters, restaurant sized galley,
lounge, dining room, indoor and outdoor bar areas and sun deck. This retrofit
was supervised by Stan Antrim, founder of Shadow Marine and Yacht Escort Ships.
Boris Krilloff and Associates served as Naval Architect ensuring a high-quality
build and design for long term performance. The work was done at the Stabbert
Maritime shipyard in Seattle.
This vessel is designed to provide guests all the comforts of home and transport
them safely offshore, providing new places and experiences with nearly any
limitations. With a 91,000-gallon fuel capacity, the Pacific Provider can reach
further than most ships of its kind and stay there for extended periods of time.
Her 12,000-mile range can make the most remote atoll or island easily
accessible.
With a capacity to make 7,000 gallons of fresh water a day, 4 ice makers, and
power to support several game boats and watercraft, the Pacific Provider can do
it all. Her tough commercial exterior can withstand the rigors of hurricane
force winds, driving rain, or blistering heat without damage to materials used
on a typical “megayacht.” Her interior accommodations for 12 guests plus up to
12 crew are luxurious, special and provide a feeling of being at home while
miles offshore.
With little preparation needed, PACIFIC PROVIDER stands ready to head out on an
adventure.
