Thea

Introducing Thea, an extraordinary vessel that is sure to impress even the most discerning buyers. With a full displacement, twin screw long keel design and a cold moulded timber hull comprised of 4 layers of 12mm planking, laid diagonally, the hull boasts an exceptional thickness of 48mm throughout. This, coupled with the close framing and diagonal planking, ensures unparalleled strength and durability.

Powered by twin Caterpillar 3408 engines, Thea can achieve a maximum speed of 13kts and a cruise speed of 10kts, while her 21,000 ltr fuel capacity ensures long-range capability. Four tastefully finished en-suite guest cabins, a Captains cabin and a further crew bunk cabin provide ample accommodation for all.

Originally built in 1979 in Junk Bay, Hong Kong by Kong & Halvorsen Marine & Engineering Company, Thea has a rich history that is sure to impress. Her builders, Joseph Kong (formerly GM of American Marine Co.) and Harvey Halvorsen, have a combined family history of boat building that dates back to 1887 in Norway and from 1924 in Australia. During World War II, the Halvorsen family built over 250 boats for active service for America, Netherlands, and Australia, and gained a well-deserved reputation for building reliable, strong, and well-designed boats.

After previous owners shipped her from Greece to Thailand, she underwent a complete rebuild from 2012 to 2014, during which time her hull was extended by approximately 2 metres. She then underwent yet another substantial refit in 2022, bringing her to A1 condition and ready for new adventures. The current owner and his experienced crew have now completed the re-commissioning of Thea following her period of dormancy, and have made a number of improvements both mechanically, and cosmetically, and this is the yacht you see today. With the addition of a custom made pulpit, my Thea is now registered as 30.08m with the intention of qualifying for the Thailand Charter License which is an option for any potential buyer.

With its classic appearance, modern systems, and clever redundancy and flexibility, Thea is truly a labour of love for the current owners. We are thrilled to introduce you to this stunning motor yacht and invite you to embark on your own exciting journey with Thea.
