Standard Equipment

Invictus ST550 — Standard Equipment
1. Propulsion

The ST550 is designed around Volvo Penta IPS propulsion:

Standard/permitted engine: 2 × Volvo Penta IPS 800
Optional: 2 × Volvo Penta IPS 950
IPS pod propulsion with joystick control
Diesel engines
Integrated steering and propulsion system

The official Invictus specification gives the permitted power as 2 × Volvo Penta IPS 800 / 2 × Volvo Penta IPS 950.

2. Main-deck arrangement

The enclosed main deck is a major part of the ST550 concept and includes:

Large panoramic salon
Helm station
Galley/kitchen arrangement
Large glazed surfaces
Interior dining/lounge area
Direct relationship between the interior and exterior entertaining areas

The V1 Kitchen Version is one of the principal layouts, while Invictus also offers a V2 Living Version.

3. Lower deck — standard

The official ST550 configuration identifies V1 Living Version as the standard lower-deck arrangement.

The standard accommodation includes:

Master cabin
VIP cabin
Private bathroom facilities
Convertible midship living area
Storage
Interior living space

The midship area can subsequently be configured differently depending on the owner's requirements.

4. Exterior

The ST550 is designed around substantial outdoor living space, including:

Large cockpit
Forward exterior lounge/sun area
Swimming platform
Tender garage
Swimming ladder
Exterior seating and tables
Cockpit access to the bathing platform

The yacht measures 16.87 m overall, with a 5.04 m beam, a full-load displacement of approximately 25 tonnes, and capacity for up to 14 people.

5. Helm & navigation

The ST550 is designed with a modern integrated helm. Depending on the specification, equipment can include:

GPS/chartplotter
Autopilot
Radar
VHF
AIS
Compass
Depth sounder
Navigation center
Touchscreen displays
Engine/IPS controls
Joystick maneuvering

However, I would not assume all of the above are standard on every ST550. Current boats for sale show different electronics packages, which illustrates how much the equipment can vary from one build to another.

Options & Part Number

Major ST550 Options


1. Volvo Penta IPS 950

This is one of the most significant performance options.

Standard:
2 × Volvo Penta IPS 800

Option:
2 × Volvo Penta IPS 950 — 725 hp each.

A current 2026 ST550 equipped with the IPS 950 is listed with 2 × D11-IPS 950, 725 hp, and joystick control.

If performance is important, this would be one of the first options I would consider.


2. Alternative interior layouts

This is where the ST550 becomes particularly interesting.

Standard lower deck — V1 Living

The standard arrangement has a flexible living area.

Optional V2 — Cabin Version

The midship area is converted to provide an additional cabin arrangement.

Optional V3 — Kitchen Version

The lower deck can instead incorporate a kitchen arrangement.

Optional crew cabin

A crew cabin can also be added to the lower deck.

Invictus' official catalogue specifically identifies:

AreaConfigurationLower deck V1Living — StandardLower deck V2Cabin — OptionalLower deck V3Kitchen — OptionalCrew cabinOptional


3. Galley configuration

The main deck itself can be configured around different uses.

Invictus shows:

  • Kitchen Version

  • Living Version

  • Convertible kitchen/living/cabin arrangements

The kitchen can include equipment such as:

  • Refrigerator

  • Freezer

  • Oven

  • Dishwasher

  • Grill

  • Ice maker

  • Storage

  • Bar/refrigeration arrangements

The exact appliance package depends on the selected configuration.


4. Stabilization

A very important option for a yacht of this size is gyroscopic stabilization / Seakeeper.

Available equipment on current ST550 specifications includes:

  • Seakeeper/gyroscopic stabilizer

  • Bow thruster

  • Stern thruster

These are particularly worthwhile if the yacht will spend significant time at anchor or cruising in open water. A current ST550 listing specifically identifies Seakeeper, bow thruster and stern thruster equipment.


5. Generator & electrical system

Depending on the build, the ST550 can be equipped with:

  • Generator

  • Shore-power connection

  • Battery charger

  • Inverter

  • Air conditioning

  • Heating

  • Hot-water system

  • Fresh-water maker

A current ST550 specification lists a generator and shore-power inlet, as well as watermaker and HVAC-related equipment.


6. Galley appliances

Depending on the selected kitchen configuration:

  • Refrigerator

  • Freezer/deep freezer

  • Oven

  • Microwave

  • Dishwasher

  • Ice maker

  • Grill

  • Additional refrigeration/storage

These are particularly configuration-dependent rather than something I would consider universally standard on every ST550.


7. Exterior options

Available equipment can include:

  • Teak cockpit

  • Teak side decks

  • Hydraulic gangway

  • Hydraulic bathing platform

  • Cockpit cushions

  • Cockpit table

  • Cockpit shower

  • Swimming ladder

  • Underwater/exterior lighting

  • Tender/outboard equipment

  • Exterior covers

  • Bimini

Current ST550 examples demonstrate that these items can differ substantially between individual boats.


8. Entertainment

Possible equipment includes:

  • Flat-screen TVs

  • Wi-Fi

  • Audio system

  • Cockpit speakers

  • Interior entertainment systems

Again, these should be specified in the build rather than assumed to be included in the base boat.


9. Interior customization — Invictus Atelier

This is perhaps the biggest "option" category.

The ST550 is specifically designed to be personalized through Invictus Atelier, with choices involving:

  • Upholstery

  • Leather

  • Wood finishes

  • Colors

  • Interior materials

  • Exterior colors

  • Decorative finishes

  • Furniture

  • Lighting

  • Custom details
