The heart of EAST BY SOUTH’s cutting-edge electrical system is the CZone Dynamic Digital Switching, Monitoring, and Control system. There are two CZone access points, with the main panel on the bridge and a second panel in the master stateroom. With user-configurable modes such as “At Anchor,” “Underway Day,” or “Owner Away,” the vessel can be configured for operations down to the smallest detail. Additionally, systems such as charging, tankage, electrical loads, and fault history can be monitored and recorded, even from the master stateroom panel. This represents a next-generation level of control and redundancy.

The AC power system is managed by CZone and powered by the inverters. AC power is supplied from either shore power or the generators via CZone to the inverters, which then provide all AC power needs on board. For continuous AC power away from the dock but not underway, one of the 9 kW generators can be run to handle most electrical loads. At peak demand, the inverters “power assist” with input from the lithium-ion batteries, increasing AC power output. This hybrid setup avoids the need for an oversized generator that would otherwise be underloaded most of the time, preventing premature generator wear.

The lithium-ion service batteries also have one of the vessel’s 200 A/24 V Mastervolt alternators dedicated to charging while underway. When away from the dock and not running the engines or generators, the lithium-ion batteries can be discharged up to 80%, providing a total output of nearly 8,800 Wh before recharging is required. When it is time to recharge, the two inverter/chargers have a combined maximum output of 200 A, significantly reducing charging time.

EAST BY SOUTH has upgraded from a single Northern Lights 12 kW generator to twin 9 kW generators for full redundancy.

Access to the flybridge is via a wide and secure stairway leading from the aft deck. The combined length of the flybridge and boat deck spans nearly two-thirds of the vessel’s overall length. The flybridge features a fully equipped helm with twin STIDD helm seats.

Forward of the helm is a luxurious lounge area, comfortable for 3–4 adults. This is one of the best spots on board to relax, protected from the wind by the tinted Plexiglass windscreen and from above by the hardtop, which covers the entire bridge area.

To port, there is a spacious L-shaped settee with seating for 8 or more, accompanied by a teak table that expands in size and an Isotherm refrigerator.

Aft, the Steelhead davit provides tender storage for the 2020 AB 11ALX tender with a 25hp Yamaha outboard.

The entire bridge area, including the helm, lounge seating, and refrigerator, is fitted with custom Sunbrella mooring covers for protection.

The forward deck features a spacious sunpad and lounge area with a custom bimini cover, as well as an additional bench/lounge for relaxing or enjoying the view. The reclining sunpad includes subtle lighting for nighttime ambiance, making this one of the most inviting spots on board. Forward deck storage lockers and robust anchoring systems complete the area, combining functionality with comfort.

Any owner will proudly showcase the engine room on EAST BY SOUTH. Located beneath the galley and cockpit, the engine room offers generous space for inspection and maintenance, ensuring a well-organized environment. As with all Kadey-Krogen yachts, ease of access is a priority, unlike many production boats that pack components below decks with little consideration for future servicing. This yacht is designed with the true yachtsman in mind.

The lazarette not only provides ample storage but also serves as the central hub for the boat's entire electrical system, including the twin Northern Lights generators. The layout is intuitive, making it easy to understand, diagnose, and access any component that may require servicing.

The fully customized interior was a collaboration between the owners and the Kadey-Krogen Group's interior designer, creating a classic style with a relaxed, calming atmosphere. The aesthetic was achieved using designer fabrics and wallcoverings from Phillip Jeffries, Thibaut, Giatti, Kravet, and Schumacher. Custom interior soft goods, such as pillows and draperies, along with Matouk linens, were produced by the Kadey-Krogen Group’s South Florida workroom. Whitewashed, beach-inspired raffia wall panels add a distinctive touch, enhancing the designer finish and making EAST BY SOUTH's interior truly one of a kind.

EAST BY SOUTH truly stands out with its custom woodwork and distinctive high-gloss walnut interior.

Various customizations include

• Galley fiddles

• Rounded ½”-radius wooden edges throughout

• Wood veneer replacing upholstered panels on the main level

• Teak brow on trunk cabin

• Teak brow on house top
