She is built to cover distance, not just to show off speed.
Twin inboard engines come as standard, with Volvo Penta IPS 950 pod drives or Caterpillar C12.9 diesels offered as alternatives for owners who want to tune the balance of range against speed. At a 30 knot cruise and 40 knots flat out, she trades the outright pace of Intrepid’s outboard powered models for smoother, more efficient running over longer distances. A 2,500 litre fuel capacity carries her 400 nautical miles, and a 1.2 metre draught still opens up anchorages a deeper hulled yacht of this length would have to avoid.
The hull does the quiet work that lets everything above it feel effortless.
Intrepid builds the Panacea’s hull in resin infused GRP over a stepped, planing form, a construction technique the yard has refined since it first set out to build boats that could outlast hard, repeated use. The approach keeps weight down without giving up strength, part of how a 15.5 metre yacht manages a 1.2 metre draught and still holds a steady, comfortable ride at speed. Naval architecture, exterior and interior design all sit with Intrepid’s in-house team, with the Engineering Department handling the systems beneath the deck, keeping the whole programme under one roof rather than divided between outside consultants.
Two cabins mean this is a yacht guests can actually stay aboard, not just visit for the day.
Below deck, two well appointed cabins sleep four overnight guests, with the open main deck seating up to eight more for the day, a split that lets the Panacea run as a day boat for a crowd and a genuine overnight yacht for a smaller group without changing anything about her. A crew of two runs the boat, freeing the owner to treat her as a yacht rather than a vessel to be skippered personally. It is a layout built around flexibility: as comfortable hosting a long lunch at anchor as she is settling in for the night.
Four hundred nautical miles is enough to make her a cruising boat, not just a commuter.
A 2,500 litre fuel capacity and a 400 nautical mile range at a 30 knot cruise put real distance within reach, whether that means a full day exploring a coastline and back, or a multi stop cruise between anchorages without returning to refuel each night. The 1.2 metre draught that already opens up shallower water also means less has to be sacrificed to reach it: she is not a boat that has to choose between range and access. For an owner who wants to actually use the miles a yacht this size can cover, the Panacea delivers them without complication.
At 15.5 metres, she is one of the largest steps in Intrepid’s range before leaving the centre console format altogether.
Length overall runs to 15.5 metres on a 4.6 metre beam, with accommodation for four overnight guests across two cabins and a crew of two to run her. Naval architecture, exterior design and interior design all remain with Intrepid’s own in-house team, consistent with every model in the range, while the Engineering Department carries responsibility for what sits beneath the deck. For an owner weighing a flagship centre console against a small flybridge yacht, the 51 Panacea offers a serious alternative: proper cabin accommodation, crewed operation and real range, built on the same hull philosophy that built Intrepid’s reputation in smaller boats.
