OUR WAY III, a 2023 72’ Outer Reef represents an extremely unique opportunity to purchase the most advanced and latest model 72-foot Outer Reef delivered to date. Due to comprehensive and detail-driven communications throughout the build process, she boasts elegant decor selections and exceptional systems upgrades. The navigation systems and electronics chosen and installed superseded any previously delivered 72-foot Outer Reef. Also, the optional choice of the 1136 hp Caterpillar C-18 engine series provide the yacht excellent economy at hull speeds of 9-10 knots, but also the ability when required to cruise in the 17-knot range. In conjunction with the philosophy of the build, the bow and stern thruster hp was also increased to the highest option choice available of 38hp each.
OUR WAY III is effortlessly managed by her owner. With her four cabin and five head layout, there's ample space to accommodate crew in one of the cabins, which boasts an elegant private stateroom with ensuite head and shower. Alternatively, for new owners with large families and guests, the layout offers versatility and comfort.
OUR WAY III is a beautiful example of the most popular Outer Reef 72’ series. The decision was made prior to the inception of the build, one of many to further lengthen the integral swim platform area. This further enhances access to various in-water activities, plus provides a very stable area to board the tender. From the extended swim platform you can access the aft crew or additional guest cabin and engine room through a watertight transom door. To minimize maintenance other than the port and starboard teak steps to the aft deck, the swim platform has no teak on it.
The covered aft deck area which is quite spacious does have the optional teak decking, wing doors, a custom cabinet with built-in refrigeration and wet bar, plus a comfortable staircase to the flybridge and tender area on the boat deck. The built-in aft seating is part of the alfresco dining area with a spacious teak table on stainless steel slides, and four chairs to easily accommodate six or more. The standard entrance doorway for the series was updated with an extremely high-end choice of a stainless and glass custom entranceway into the salon.
The salon is entered through a sliding glass and stainless doorway, and to port is a tea cabinet, which houses a raising flatscreen television, and in addition, offers several storage compartments. This L-shaped cabinet also contains a number of the yacht’s entertainment systems. Ahead of this cabinet is a custom L-shaped couch, in lieu of the standard built-in seating with substantial storage below. A low teak and stainless coffee table sits ahead of the couch. To starboard when entering the salon, a staircase provides access to the fourth cabin and other areas below the main deck. There are two comfortable chairs plus a storage cabinet between the chairs that act as a large end table. Further forward is a large pantry and bar cabinet. An overhead backlit rectangular, stainless handrail system provides a more transitional appearance in lieu of overhead teak strapping. The salon has a very light and airy appearance, accentuated by light carpeting, although there is prefinished engineered teak flooring beneath the carpeting. The two large windows on either side of the salon provide excellent visibility.
From the salon, there are two steps up to the galley with the same upgraded teak flooring. The optional Silestone counters in a very light color further enhance the yacht's open layout. While there are cabinets above the main counter area, they do not intrude on the visibility from the salon forward or from the pilothouse when operating the yacht. Additional pantry storage is very substantial both below the counters and in a very large Silestone-topped island with drawer storage on either side. The upgraded oven and burners over standard appliance choices and microwave above it are on the port side, as well as a double sink and large window. To starboard there is on deck head, forward very large double door fridge with freezer below.
The pilothouse, immediately forward of the galley, offers comfortable, L-shaped seating with storage below, and in addition, the opportunity to separate the pilothouse from the galley for nighttime travel, or for allowing a more private conversation or workspace with a rising teak wall, that normally sits in a down position when not a use. To starboard there are multiple large storage cabinets on the side of a wide staircase with stainless railing that allows easy access to the flybridge ahead of the L-shaped seating to port is a customized teak cable with double stainless spaces, providing a comfortable area for dining, or for visibility forward when underway. The pilothouse window on the port side was enlarged for additional visibility. Two Ultraleather fully electric Stidd helm seats with chrome bases are secured in the teak flooring, and the array of electronics, navigation systems, and special attention to camera and the position of the yacht have not been duplicated in sistership builds. Again, this was the result of intensive research and a very sophisticated approach to allow unencumbered ease of operation of the yacht. The port and starboard doors in the pilothouse allow easy access to the side decks for line handling or remote operation of the vessel. Also, from the starboard side of the pilothouse, moving forward, a staircase leads down to owner and guest accommodations.
Descending from the staircase from the pilothouse, the most forward stateroom is the VIP with a full-size queen berth with large drawer storage below, and hanging lockers on both sides of the stateroom. There is a large opening square port above the berth, with options to block out incoming light or a screen. On either side of the cabin, there are fixed ports with deadlight covers. Light wall coverings above the cabinets on both sides provide a warm atmosphere. There is an optional drop-down television in lieu of a smaller television. To starboard is access to an ensuite head with a granite counter and oval sink plus a large shower and cabinet storage.
Moving aft from the VIP the portside stateroom includes a full queen-size berth below, with drawer storage plus a single pullman above. There is a full-height hanging locker, and a framed flatscreen TV. The ensuite head has a large shower with a granite-covered cabinet plus custom sink and faucets.
One of the two complete laundry centers is located opposite the port cabin with full-size washer & dryer sets.
Moving aft you enter the master, which has a centerline king berth, with side tables, a more modern overhead valance with LED lighting, and above the port and starboard cabinets and drawers are oversized ports to allow substantial natural light to enter the stateroom, in addition to the custom lighting choices. There are two walk-in hanging lockers, one that is forward on the starboard side of the stateroom, and an even larger one again on the starboard side in the aft area of the stateroom behind the master’s king berth.
The pages of upgrades for this build include beyond the standard dual compressor chilled water air conditioning system, the addition as well of a standalone air-conditioning system in the master that can operate from the inverter, allowing for a quiet ship when at anchor with no generator operating. In addition, a GPS monitor with an anchor watch system provides additional safety at anchor. The ensuite head with granite counter and custom sink with storage below also has substantial room for a very large shower.
From the aft end of the main salon on the starboard side there is a staircase that leads down to both a storage and tool area, private cabin with ensuite head and shower and full height engine room. At the bottom of the staircase is the second laundry center with a full-size washer and dryer. Several improvements to reduce sound level, coming up from this area have been adopted in this 2023 model, including additional sound-down insulation materials and the addition of a door at the bottom of the staircase.
Moving aft and to starboard, there is a stainless steel-topped large workbench area with numerous storage drawers below, and above, and a toolbox as well built under the workbench. Moving forward after descending the stairs, a galleyette provides both pantry space plus fridge/freezer drawers, granite, counter, sink, and microwave above the counter.
On the port side, there is a double berth cabin finished with the same beautiful joinery with ensuite, head and shower, that can be utilized either as a fourth family or guest cabin, or crew cabin with the same amenities, including a flatscreen television like the other cabins. Additionally, since there is a watertight transom door that leads out to the extended swim platform, that allows easy access to both this area or the engine room, which is further forward with a watertight door entrance. For ease of maintenance, the hallway and storage area have a coin dot floor, while there is a teak floor in the port-side cabin.
The engine room behind the watertight door is full height and houses the optional upgraded 1136 hp Caterpillar C18’s twin, 20 kW Northern Lights generators. Additional systems in the engine room include the water maker, frequency and voltage converter outboard fuel tanks, fire suppression systems, storage areas for tools, plus the twin chiller redundant air conditioning system. This yacht also has the advanced enclosed Seatorque shaft system, which improves fuel efficiency, and allows quieter operation underway.
OUR WAY III has covered walk-around decks, plus the benefit of seven opening gate doors on the main deck. There are port and starboard gate doors on the rear of the aft deck which lead down to the extended swim platform, plus port and starboard opening gate doors on either side of the aft deck for boarding, which are also fitted to allow the for the use of the Marquipt tide rise steps. Additionally, opposite the pilothouse doors, there are opening gate doors to allow disembarkment when the yacht arrives at a dock that provides access to a substantially higher dock than a floating dock. For additional safety, the Outer Reef series has high bull works rather than stanchions with stainless handrails above them and in addition, there is a Portuguese bridge forward with an opening gate as well. This is an excellent feature for safety, especially for children and pets. On the foredeck, rather than the standard built-in seating, the choice was made to allow this seating area to pull out to a full lounge. The windless was upgraded to a 4000 Maxwell with 300 feet of half-inch height chain, with a 132-pound Ultra anchor.
From the pilothouse, a wide comfortable staircase leads to a very large flybridge. With the four-sided enclosure under the hardtop and twin, stand-alone air-conditioning units can be controlled to provide a comfortable environment in all weather conditions. Electronics in the pilothouse are duplicated and there are twin Stidd helm seats.
Additional storage cabinets were built to port and starboard, plus there is incredible storage ahead of the flybridge helm area under the flybridge brow. Behind the helm seats are two large L-shaped sofas with storage below and adjustable tables on slides ahead of them.
For potential travel to the Great Lakes, the hinged mast, which supports the electronics, can lower to below 21 feet, also desirable if the yacht is kept undercover. A gate door was added to also fully enclose the area under the hardtop. Stepping down after opening the centerline gate door, there are built-in cabinets to port to enclose a fridge and large storage area and to starboard, additional storage cabinets, and sink.
To provide protection from the sun, the very large area aft of the hardtop has double canopies that are attached to three stainless poles that are removable. On either side of this area, there are built-in eight-man survival rafts for emergency use.
The tender area is located on the aft end of the flybridge, and the standard davit was increased to a Steelhead 2000-pound davit with a 14-foot extension to allow the 2023 Novurania with 70hp Yamaha, to be lifted, and placed behind the extended swim platform or to one side of the yacht and an oversized sliding hatch and comfortable staircase leads down from the area beside the tender to the aft deck.
It should also be noted, in the spirit of the redundancy of systems, that the yacht has the Glendenning handheld remote system, with three plug-in stations, that has been set up to allow station keeping, and in addition there is a wireless Yacht Controller that can facilitate maneuvering the yacht from any area on board.
