Builder & Design pedigree:
Built by the Marquis Group (Pulaski, Wisconsin) with design partnerships including Nuvolari-Lenard (Venice, Italy), Donald Blount & Associates (hydrodynamic/structural engineering), and BMW Group DesignworksUSA (interior/ergonomic design). This collaboration results in an elegant yet highly capable 50-foot sport bridge yacht.
Performance & Confidence in the IPS System:
Powered by twin Volvo Penta IPS pods, Freya delivers smooth, quiet, fuel-efficient cruising and outstanding manoeuvrability with joystick control—ideal for tight marinas or owner-operators.
While some buyers may hesitate over pod drives, here’s how Freya addresses that:
The pods were installed in 2021 and serviced annually since by a reputable Volvo Penta authorised service centre.
The design and engineering by Donald Blount & Associates incorporate the pod drives from the ground up, meaning the hull and drive system were built to work together.
This is real-world, documented maintenance, not deferred or speculative—so the system can be trusted as fully mature and properly supported.
