Our spacious 56' Custom Steel "Bruce Roberts" is set up and equipped to easily accommodate as many as eight people in three cabins and a day bed. A comfortable, serious cruising yacht that has the ´go anywhere´ ruggedness of a steel vessel. Being a family of 4 on anchor we have had too put our money where our mouths are, and have spent a lot of time energy and expense on outfitting "Tranquility" with the products we know and trust. The old philosophy has come into effect "You Pay Now or You Can Pay Later". Run time of your Gen-Set and or Engine is so important that being able to incorporate renewable energy resources, along with High Output Alternators where you can, will help cut down your overall run time. And we all know that the longer you have to run the Engine/Gen-Set adds up to more Diesel, more Oil changes, more wear and tear and above all more COST! We have a 2 year return on the amount of money out laid for these set up costs, after that its more money in the bank to enjoy the places that you dream of going.

Displayed on our boat are the products we sell and we can give honest opinions on their functions, reliability and value for money of equipment we use on "Tranquility". We utilize 2 D400 Wind Generators, 3 165 watt Solar Panels, a Blue Sky Solar Boost system, large Battery Bank, OGM LED Lighting to conserve power, Balmar High Output Alternators with Smart Regulators, & Large Battery Chargers, for those times when you do have to start the Gen-Set. We still have a lot to add to her, but we know Our S/V "Tranquility" is a Strong built Ocean Going Vessel, with many renewable energy resources, that conserves our fuel and extends our batteries and allows us to live at anchor comfortable and will have us ready to take on the challenge of our next blue water cruising adventure.

We are fully equipped with a workshop on board and if you are in the same cruising grounds and need work done we will be more than willing to accommodate you and allow your boat to raft up to us while we do any installs or service or just want to stop by for a look, saving on dockage for the serious cruiser.

Cameron and Leighia have always enjoyed being on or close by the sea, whether it be sailing surfing, diving or just lazing by the water’s edge we have seen the change in our oceans environment and noticed the damage been done every day by now looking at the shoreline from our floating home SV "Tranquility". Between the two of us we have grown up with the values of being part of nature and enjoying what the earth offers us and giving back through thoughtful stewardship, we were green before it was cool! Cameron grew up in Hawaii with his parents who ran a successful beach cat charter business out of Monaka beach hotel, He had salt running through his veins though being brought up between there and New Zealand where his Grandfather ran a successful boat yard in the Bay of Islands. Cam was a keen racer in his younger years and with his team has won many races including the Kenwood Cup and NZ Cup. Cameron’s professional BACKGROUND HAS BEEN ABOARD SUPERYACHTS working his way up from Swab to Engineer to Captain with a MCA Class 4 certificate, Cameron’s keen mind and lateral thinking has made him sort after in the specialized renewable energy installation market. Leighia didn’t get into the sailing life until much later in her early twenties when she moved from New Zealand to Australia to work on the charter Catamaran's on the great Barrier Reef, quickly becoming accustomed to this boating lifestyle she went on to work on a 61foot Oyster sailing around the China Sea and Papa New Guinea down to the Whitsundays on private charters. She found a calling that set in motion a new understanding of our human impact on the world’s oceans and coastal communities, and wanted to see more and make a difference on how our keel imprints impact our environment as a whole. Meeting in New Zealand and bringing a 120ft Super Yacht over the pacific to Newport California both of us realized that we wanted to one day buy a boat and sail home, taking with us the knowledge and ideas of living sustain onboard and teaching others how to implement this into their lifestyle so that as a collective whole we can make a difference in our communities whether it’s on the water or on land. Thus we haven’t got home yet and have found that home is more so where our boat is and that’s wherever a client wants Trans Marine’s services. This keeps us travelling up and down the east coast of USA to the Bahamas and as far as the Caribbean, installing and educating people on renewable energy platforms for their vessels. Our kids are also learning so much from seeing what’s important in their parents ideas and love for what we do, we stand by our integrity of being conscious of our own keel imprint and are always looking for ways to lessen it whether it be in promoting Renewable energy or leaving a clean wake behind us.
