"ENTOURAGE" was built at the renowned NORSHIP Shipyard in Norway, and designed by the famous Dutch Naval Architect, Frank Mulder, who designed some of the world's fastest Superyachts, including the "MOONRAKER," the sister-ship of "ENTOURAGE," which set the speed record of 67 knots, and powered by twin MTU 16-cylinder diesels, and fitted with a center-line Gas turbine of 5,000 HP. "Entourage" was not built for speed records, but benefits from the same heritage of the strong and efficient Mulder Hull, and which provides the platform for this Mega-Yacht. which has crossed the Atlantic 15 times, and cruises at 14 knots and only burns 20 gallons/hour. In 2022 and 2023, the current ownership of "ENTOURAGE" performed what I describe as the most complete refit I have ever seen. The original MTU'S were removed and replaced with CAT C-32 TA Diesels, which deliver 1,950 HP, and power this Mulder Hull to a top speed of 29.7 knots, with a cruise of 25 knots, 9,500 fuel capacity with a range of 4,500 miles. With only 35 original hours, these Brand-New Cats have the standard 3-year warranty, but the availability of a ten (10) year extended warranty. Other major Refit Items, include:
- The Twin Northern Lights Generators were new in 2010, and rebuilt in 2022, with only 500 current hours;
- New "Dock mate" Yacht Controller;
- Complete new Running Gear (Shafts, 5- Blade "Veems," shallow-draft Tunnels, & New 4 Cutlass Bearings);
- New Air Conditioning Compressor and Entire A/C system (6 month Warranty remains);
- All new underwater Hull fairing and paint (1 Year Warranty);
- New Soft Goods, Interior furnishings, Overheads, and Flooring;
- Three (3) Garages, & "Opacmare" Transformer Hydraulic Platform - part of Integral Swim Platform;
- Two (2) Jet Skis, Inflatable Swimming Pool, and Slide;
- Thirteen (13) New Underwater Lights;
- Flybridge Jacuzzi with convertible sunbathing deck, with pop-up Teak Dining Table;
- Commercial grade Galley with onyx prep Island with Sub-zero drawers.
- New bottom paint (3/2024)

The Accommodations feature four (4) staterooms, with an On-Deck VIP, a full-beam Master, and two (2) Queen Staterooms below, all with en-suite heads. The Crew's Quarters are designed to accommodate a Crew of seven (7), perfect for high-end Charters. While these specs are impressive, "Entourage" can only be appreciated in person. Her home dock is at the "Sands Harbour Marina" on the East side of the Intercoastal on Atlantic Boulevard in Pompano.
