Cheoy Lee Global 104 Pilothouse

With an approx. range of 2,200 miles,
it’s really no wonder why Cheoy Lee named this line of yacht, “Global.”

The twin 1,900 horsepower CAT C32 Acerts are hardly the stars of the show in this space, which features a smooth blend of old school and high-tech safety features. The more traditional items include large, fuel sight glasses, beefy handrails between engines, and easy-to-check inboard inspection points.

In the engine room you can get out aft through the crew quarters and the before-mentioned transom
or through a second watertight door that leads to a guests stateroom via a closet.

“The family doesn’t have a chef on board, they want to spend time together like they would if they were ashore, and for them, that means spending time in the galley and preparing meals.
And this,” explains VP of Sales Panu Virtanen as he gestures towards the seating for 10 (if you’re close with your family that is), “this is just like at home.”

The full beam, on deck master boasts the things you would expect: a desk, settee, large berth etc. But it’s the nice amount of—18 foot long—open, carpeted space for walking around that’s most impressive.

Many desks aboard are used for decoration,
this one is actually large enough to spread out and get work done.

While the owner expects to enjoy most of his meals in the country kitchen,
he still wanted the option for more formal dining.

The three-deck flybridge vessel carves a sharp turn, generating a dramatic white spray and wake along its starboard side. The massive upper flybridge features extensive beige outdoor sofa seating under a white hardtop bimini roof with black support arches and radar equipment. Below, the teak aft deck cockpit shows a dining table setup, and large dark-tinted glass windows line the main salon deck.

The modern vessel features sweeping dark-tinted hull windows, a large sunpad on the bow deck, and a hardtop roof with an open sunroof. The boat carves smoothly through the sea, casting a crisp reflection on the water's surface to starboard while leaving a powerful, foaming white wake trailing behind its teak-planked swim platform.
