I think the 450nm range is at Wide Open Throttle (42knots for triple engine config and 32knots for twin), whereas the cruising range would equate to around 1200nm or so.

The standard fuel bunkers for the PRED 108 are just 11000 litres, but the prestigious black 'Shiver' was configured with extended tanks to 21000 litres, which makes her endurance quite a bit (as discussed on this thread).

There are other comparible sized yachts that have far greater range and some that don't, such as:-
Heesen's AA Absolute - 33000litres WOT=45knots. Range 2800nm at cruise.
CRN's Custom Line 128 Anne Marie - 28000 litres WOT=24 knots. Range at cruise of 20kts is just 600nm.

All in all the Predator 108 doesn't do to bad, just depends on how far forward the throttles are.
