The vessel was designed by Incat Crowther and ordered from Gladding-Hearn Shipbuilding in February 2002.[1] While she was originally to be named Grey Lady III, following two previous ferries of that name,[1] when she was delivered in May 2003 she bore the name Grey Lady.[2]

Grey Lady is 144 feet (44 m) long, with a beam of 35 feet (11 m) and a draft of 6.5 feet (2.0 m).[1] She has four Cummins diesel engines that can propel her at up to 38 knots (44 mph), though her normal service speed is 33 knots (38 mph).[1] She has a passenger capacity of 300.[1]
