Tribute 61 – Typhoon I

Tribute Boats, established in 1992 in Stuart, Florida, specializes in building custom high-performance sport-fishing boats. The 2008 61-foot Tribute called Typhoon I is well–known for its billfish-raising prowess during its time in Costa Rica. The yacht is currently residing in Stuart, Florida, and is listed by Allied Marine for $2.8 million.

According to the broker, it was built and maintained by an extremely knowledgeable owner. Some of the notable features include a repower with 1,900 hp CAT C32A engines, full paint and installation of an omni sonar in 2019. In February 2024, the engines received their 1,000-hour service at 3,450 hours, which included valve calibration, aftercoolers serviced, heat exchangers flushed, transmission heat exchangers cleaned, and impellers replaced plus all zincs, fuel, water and air filters replaced.

The boat’s layout consists of three staterooms and two heads, with two staterooms offering bunks for additional sleeping capacity, perfect for overnight trips. Among its many features, Typhoon I features triple-spreader Rupp outriggers, two generators, an icemaker, a watermaker, a Marquipt davit for a bow-mounted skiff and an Alfa Laval fuel polishing system.

Viking 68 Enclosed Bridge – Mine Time

The 2021 Viking 68 Enclosed Bridge known as Mine Time features a climate-controlled enclosed bridge for all-weather comfort as well as a four-stateroom, four-head layout. It’s currently located at the Ocean Reef Club in Key Largo, Florida, and is offered by HMY Yacht Sales for $5.450 million.

Whether fishing or cruising, the enclosed bridge doubles as a private retreat aboard the yacht, with an L-shaped lounge, entertainment center and walnut woodwork. A polished stainless steel spiral staircase connects the salon to the bridge, while a weatherproof aft door leads to the pod-style docking station.

Mine Time is equipped with a Platinum Extended Warranty for the Seakeeper 26, an Extended MTU Engine Warranty up to 4,000 hours and a newly installed Starlink system for seamless global connectivity. It also has a high-gloss walnut interior, island galley and four-stateroom layout. 

Mine Time also features updated electronics from Furuno and Garmin, including the Furuno omni sonar, with additional Garmin displays at the aft helm docking station and in the tower. All electronics were professionally installed by Viking subsidiary AME Electronics.

Of the Viking 68 Convertible, Yachting previously wrote: “The 68C has a Viper steering system, meaning her rudders are independent of each other, a setup that gives the captain a high level of control. As I carved S-turns through the slop, there was no doubt as to the system’s efficacy. She cruised easily at 35 knots at 2,150 rpm, and when I dropped the hammer, she climbed briskly up to 41 knots — a speed that any fisherman trying to beat the clock back to the docks for a weigh-in will appreciate. And even at that speed, she remained dry, with the spray coming off her hull just abaft amidships.”

Where is Mine Time located? The yacht is currently lying at the Ocean Reef Club in Key Largo, Florida.

Viking 68C – El Dorado

According to the brokers at Galati Yacht Sales, the 2022 Viking 68 Convertible known as El Dorado represents a great opportunity to own a current model Viking that is very lightly used and never fished. The current owner built this Viking thinking ahead to have all the systems prepped and prewired for the next owner. There has been light cruising and very little use in the interior. El Dorado is asking $4.6 million.

Of the Viking 68C, Yachting previously wrote: “Viking’s designers have given the 68 Convertible an accommodation plan similar to and as spacious as the three-stateroom layout of the 65, with an important exception. Using the extra 3 feet of length and an extra inch of beam, they have managed to add a fourth stateroom that does not require reworking the portside master stateroom into a smaller space, as was done on the 65.

Otherwise, like the 65, the 68 Convertible has a VIP stateroom with an island queen berth forward, a master stateroom with an athwartship queen berth to port, and a cabin with upper and lower twin berths to port. The fourth stateroom, to port abaft the master stateroom, also carries upper and lower berths. It, like the other three staterooms, has an en suite head with shower. A passageway that curves as it goes from the saloon stair to the bow helps avoid the visual effect of a long, narrow tunnel that afflicts too many designs.”

The vessel’s 1,925 hp Caterpillar C32A engines have just 185 hours on them, and have the Platinum Plus warranty through 4/2026 or 2,000 hours.  

Where is El Dorado located? The yacht is currently lying in Anna Maria Island, Florida.

(Twin 1,915 hp Cat C32 ACERTs are standard.) Plenty of headroom (6 feet 4 inches on centerline), total access to all maintenance areas and equipment, refrigerator-white Awlgrip finish and places for all the redundant systems (including a pair of 29 kW Onan gensets and two centralized sea-water pumps) are just some of the features found here.”

Viking 80 Convertible – A Salt Weapon

The 80 Convertible from Viking Yacht Company was a best-seller for the builder virtually from the day it was introduced. A Salt Weapon is a 2023 80C with striking Nardo Grey paint, located in Deerfield Beach, Florida. The vessel is offered by HMY Yacht Sales for $8.495 million. 

According to the builder, in order to enhance performance and achieve better engine and propulsion efficiencies, the design, engineering and production teams shaved unnecessary poundage, while increasing strength and seakeeping capabilities. A modified vinylester resin is used in the entire hull skin. The resin-infused hull is a sophisticated composite structure of end-grain balsa and foam cores with e-glass and carbon fiber hybrid laminates and a custom modified epoxy resin. Stringers are fiberglass encapsulated foam and the structural bulkheads are also resin infused.

Mechanically, the 80 Convertible shares a commonality of technical features with other Vikings. Chilled water air conditioning provides cooling and heat throughout the yacht with individual thermostats in the staterooms and the salon for efficient climate control. A Delta-T engine room ventilation system with thermostatically controlled supply and discharge fans provide proper fresh air circulation and water intrusion suppression. Pneumatically controlled engineroom ventilation dampers are integrated into the yacht’s fire suppression system. Optimus electric power steering delivers maneuverability in all sea conditions.

A lengthy list of standard equipment includes a hydraulic bow thruster, a centralized seawater system, a freshwater system, Veem S-class propellers, two 32 kW generators, two Glendinning Cablemasters, voltage stabilizer isolation transformers for more consistent, cleaner voltage, and an Octoplex touch screen electrical distribution panel with monitors in the salon and on the flybridge with manual back-up.

Powered with tier 3 MTU Series 2000 V16 M96L engines, A Salt Weapon has a top speed of more than 40 knots and a high-30 knot cruise, depending upon load and sea conditions.

Yachting previously wrote: “To be sure, there’s beauty in this beast, and it is obvious to the eye and the senses as she comes into view. She bears all the hallmarks of her 92 Enclosed Bridge big sister, starting with a wonderfully symmetrical profile topped off by a skyscraper-like tower, built by Viking’s own Palm Beach Towers.

Immediately noticeable are her sharp entry, proud bow and foredeck, well-proportioned house, striking black mask, low-slung 216-square-foot cockpit and curved transom with eye-catching tumblehome in the corners.”

1985 Feadship Sportfish 87′ – Thanks Buds

Thanks Buds, a 1985 Feadship Sportfish 87′, is a classic battlewagon, ready for long-distance adventure angling and that accommodates six guests in three staterooms. Gilman Yachts has listed Thanks Buds for $995,000.

In 2005, Thanks Buds was upgraded with twin 1,550 hp Caterpillar C-30 diesel engines coupled to ZF 2050 transmissions with a 2.519:1 gear-reduction ratio. The yacht has a top speed of 25 knots and a cruising speed of 23 knots.

The yacht’s spacious teak cockpit features a varnished teak transom, teak wraparound covering boards, and padded coaming bolsters. A fighting chair is installed for reeling in large catches, and a transom door allows easy access for landing bigeye tuna.

The foredeck houses a 2006 17′ Maverick HPX flats boat with a 2005 90 hp Yamaha 4-stroke outboard, along with a Marquipt 1,700-pound telescoping hydraulic davit. Two Viking eight-man life rafts in canisters are secured on the bow, flanking the tender. A teak sole extends from the windlass forward, where a 180-pound Poole galvanized anchor is mounted through the hull portside with a stainless-steel surround, 300 feet of 5/8” chain and a high-pressure chain wash.

A 10-step stainless-steel-and-teak ladder leads to the enclosed pilothouse, paneled in satin-finish teak. Inside, to port and starboard, are two curved leather settees with triangular tables, each seating two to three people with storage below. The expansive helm console is centerline with walkaround space on both sides. A 9-foot-wide settee upholstered in tan leather is in front of the helm, and further forward, beneath the three-panel windshield, are seven cabinet doors housing.

The salon preserves its original interior, with wood grains glowing under natural light from large side windows. Guests can relax on a U-shaped sofa with a table or grab a drink from the wet bar. A Samsung 49-inch LED TV is hidden behind tambour doors. Overhead, there is stowage for up to 25 rods, 14 LED lights, a smoke-and-fire sensor and five Bose mini-cube speakers. The salon sole is covered in neutral-tone plush carpet.

Belowdecks, three en suite staterooms accommodate owners and guests. The owner’s stateroom, located forward, is well insulated from bow noise by an expansive bosun’s locker and under-berth stowage. The centerline king-sized berth is surrounded by built-in cabinetry, with two large drawers at the foot of the bed and three top-loading stowage cabinets on each side.

The portside guest stateroom features twin oversized side-by-side berths, while the starboard guest stateroom has twin-size over/under berths, with the bottom berth being oversized. Crew quarters include twin-sized over/under berths, with additional stowage space throughout.

“Thanks Buds remains an icon in yachting circles. She was built as the second of two Gallant Lady Feadship Sportfisherman yachts. At the time of her build, there were no larger pedigree ‘Yacht Fisherman’ on the water. While newer, larger, and faster sportfishing yachts have since emerged, none match the class, grace, or quality of a Feadship. Her original design remains intact, with only system upgrades over the years. This is a rare opportunity to own an icon,” Gilman Yachts stated.

Where is Thanks Buds located? The yacht is currently lying in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

The post 10 Pre-Owned Sport Fishing Yachts For Sale Now appeared first on Yachting.

As an increasing number of new-build charter yachts flood the seasonal hot spots all across the Caribbean and Mediterranean, older vessels can have a hard time standing out in the fleet. They simply don’t have the same look and feel as newer models, and their vintage style sometimes leaves them being wrongfully overlooked when it comes time to book a vacation.

What’s so sad about that reality is that in some cases, those older charter yachts have the better charter programs. The nicest, newest, sexiest yacht in a harbor can have a terrible crew or a lousy chef, while a well-kept, older yacht can have a dialed-in team that provides top-notch service and watersports.

A good example of this phenomenon is the 142-foot Christensen Grade I. Built in 1995 and most recently refitted in 2018, Grade I is currently available for bookings in the Caribbean at a reduced weekly base rate of $120,000 for 12 guests. The yacht has six staterooms, a scuba program for certified divers, and recent client feedback that shows just how special a charter vacation on a yacht of this age can be.

“I wanted to write you a note to formally thank you for a wonderful week on Grade I,” a client wrote to the crew. “My mother and our family felt right at home and truly relaxed to the point of time slipping right by. However, I would feel remiss if I didn’t share a few thoughts of ours from the experience. From the inside to the outside, every crew member was on point and with a smile! Never a kink in the armor. We had so many laughs, experiences, water sports, crazy sport fishing and culinary delights to the point where I can’t remember them all. Growing up in a boating family, my father always made times spent on the open water super special. He picked our crew members as family members in an effort to create an endless warm experience. We felt those old times again!”

Talk about a glowing recommendation, which was shared by Grade I’s management company, Fraser Yachts. The fact that the yacht originally launched 30 years ago didn’t matter to these charter clients at all.

Like vintage yachts for charter? Check out this Feadship, too: The 151-foot Ancallia is a 1984 build that underwent a rebuild in 2015, and then a refit in 2022-23. Classic Feadship style is still very much on display in this yacht’s exterior lines, with an updated interior that includes modern technology and amenities. Ancallia recently joined the IYC charter fleet and is accepting bookings this summer in Greece and Turkey for 12 guests.

Of the Feadship 51.8, Yachting previously wrote: “It is one of those rare yachts that looks just right at first glance and only gets better the longer you look. Utterly devoid of applied ostentation, her elegance comes from the simple interplay of light and shadow. Her hull and superstructure blend seamlessly into a cohesive whole that bespeaks careful planning and skillful design.”

Some pretty cool charter yachts head to the Pacific for charters these days. From Tahiti to Fiji and beyond, it’s usually possible to find at least one superyacht (and often more) with impressive features and build pedigree.

Recently, though, Edmiston made an announcement that seems as if it will be tough to beat: The 285-foot Feadship Lonian and its 216-foot Astilleros shadow cat Hodor are now accepting inquiries for charters in the Pacific during summer 2025.

The two vessels are quite a combination. Lonian is a 2018 launch that most recently was refitted in 2024. According to numerous sources, the yacht has accommodations for 14 guests in seven staterooms, with additional quarters for 27 crew. Guest amenities include a movie theater, beauty salon, elevator and swimming pool. Range is reportedly 5,000 nautical miles at 12 knots, with a top hop of 18 knots—allowing for some true exploring to outer-island regions where other yachts typically do not go.

Hodor, meanwhile, has been described as the world’s largest floating toybox. It was designed based on a fast ferry platform, and the catamaran shape allows for all kinds of possibilities for the cargo.

Some reports from reputable sources have cited not just the standard yacht toys such as personal watercraft and Laser dinghies, but also serious additions such as a submersible, multiple tenders in the 50-foot range, smaller tenders of various capabilities, and shoreside-ready quad bikes, ATVs and motorcycles.

There’s reportedly also a decompression chamber along with the scuba-diving equipment, as well as a dedicated workshop for keeping all the tenders and toys up and running in the best possible condition for guest use.

Edmiston is calling these two vessels the “ultimate charter package” and urging brokers to reach out on behalf of clients who want to experience “some of the world’s most breathtaking and remote destinations.”

How do you store compressed liquid hydrogen on a superyacht at the equivalent of minus-423 degrees Fahrenheit?

This was the toughest question Dutch builder Feadship faced as it set out to create Project 821, the world’s first hydrogen-cell superyacht. “The aim has been to develop a new, clean technology not just for this project, but for the world,” says Jan-Bart Verkuyl, Feadship director and CEO at Royal Van Lent Shipyard.

Hydrogen fuel cells offer great promise for combustion-free cruising, with only electricity and water as their byproducts. But unlike with vehicles and spacecraft, the technology is new to recreational yachts. Weight isn’t the problem because hydrogen is light, but safely storing it on a vessel requires a double-walled cryogenic tank in a dedicated room. According to Feadship, it takes eight to 10 times more space to store hydrogen than the energy equivalent in diesel fuel.

Project 821’s size, at 390 feet long, made it a good candidate to test the technology. The tank on board holds about 4 tons of hydrogen, with the system able to provide a week’s worth of silent operation at anchor, or navigating at 10 knots while leaving harbors or cruising in protected marine zones.

All of that was achieved in addition to the kind of luxury that Feadship clients demand. The yacht’s design is by RWD, with owner representation by Edmiston. It has the most hull openings of any Feadship to date, with 14 balconies. Guest amenities include an elevator and a library.

“We have now shown that cryogenic storage of liquefied hydrogen in the interior of a superyacht is a viable solution,” Verkuyl says. “Future innovations on fuel cells and onboard reforming of methanol to hydrogen are on the near horizon.”

New Horizons

There were no regulations for hydrogen storage and fuel-cell systems on a superyacht, so Feadship, along with Edmiston and Lloyd’s Register, developed appropriately scaled equipment, protocols and safety regulations as part of the build.

Record-Setter

Project 821 is also the largest motoryacht ever launched in the Netherlands. It is about the same length as Feadship’s Launchpad, but with 30 percent more volume.

As the summer yacht charter season nears its peak, several popular charter fleets have added yachts in destinations all around the world.

In the Bahamas, Fraser just welcomed the 107-foot Burger Silver Seas. It’s a 1998 build that most recently was refitted in 2022, and that will base in the Bahamas all year round. Accommodations are for eight guests in four staterooms that can be set up for families or groups of couples. This yacht charters with an Intrepid tender for watersports fun.

Up in New England, Edmiston has welcomed 168-foot Feadship Acta to the charter fleet. Acta is a 2007 build that accommodates 10 guests in five staterooms. Equipment includes Quantum zero-speed stabilizers for guest comfort at anchor, and the yacht has a wheelchair-accessible elevator and side deck. The master stateroom is on the bridge deck with expansive views.

For charter clients seeking more exotic locales, IYC has just added the 131-foot Westport Rule No. 1 to its fleet, with inquiries being accepted through September 2025 for Panama, Mexico and Costa Rica. Rule No. 1 is a 2011 build that most recently was refitted in 2023, with accommodations for 12 guests in five staterooms. This yacht charters with a 37-foot Freeman tender for fishing, and has toys that include an inflatable slide.

Also available farther afield is the 75-foot Sunreef Diana, a sailing catamaran that’s in French Polynesia as part of the Y.CO fleet. Diana is a 2017 build that just completed a refit this year. The yacht accommodates eight guests in four staterooms. Amenities and crew services include a hot tub, a fitness trainer, a masseuse, a yoga instructor, and various water toys.

In Croatia and the West Mediterranean, the 137-foot Kingship Ocean’s Seven has joined the Fraser fleet. This is a 2012 build that was most recently refitted this year. Interiors on the yacht are by Vripack, with five staterooms for 10 guests. The master spans the full beam on the main deck and has a king-size berth.

Are there any options being advertised for scuba diving? Indeed, Edmiston says the 154-foot Feadship Lady Victoria is still accepting inquiries this summer in the Bahamas, and is offering scuba diving right from the yacht. Accommodations are for 12 guests in six staterooms, with a master that has its own deck and a VIP on the main deck. The swim platform can be extended and raised for diving, or submerged for guests who want to step right into the sea.

Feadship has delivered the nearly 250-foot superyacht Alvia from the Royal Van Lent shipyard in Amsterdam.

The team at Burgess announced the news after being involved throughout the sales and construction timeline. Burgess brokers guided the owner through the purchase process in 2019; its technical services team managed the build, collaborating with the owner’s representatives; its crew services team staffed the vessel; and its yacht management team is now overseeing the yacht’s operations.

“We are delighted to have worked with such an experienced and professional owner’s team to help deliver this very special yacht,” Nathan Durley-Boot, marine engineer and project manager, Burgess Technical Services, stated in a press release.

Alvia, which was delivered at the end of April, was known as Project Hanami during the construction process. The code name referred to the Japanese festival of the cherry blossom.

Exteriors are by the British studio RWD, which worked with Susan Young Interiors on the project. Standout features include a main-deck pool, a sports court on the foredeck, folding balconies on the owners’ deck, an elevator that runs from the main deck to the bridge deck, a gym and spa area, and interactive bridge deck lighting,

Gross tonnage is 2,265, creating what Burgess describes as “a feeling of space while on board.” The yacht has a trans-Atlantic range of 5,500 nautical miles, which is more than enough for going back and forth between the expected cruising grounds in the Mediterranean and Caribbean.

Feadship also just launched a hydrogen-powered superyacht: In early May, Feadship’s Amsterdam shipyard launched Project 821, the world’s first hydrogen fuel-cell superyacht. At 390 feet long, Project 821 is also the largest motoryacht ever launched in The Netherlands in terms of volume.

The emissions-free Project 821 is designed by RWD with owner representation by Edmiston. While there are hydrogen fuel cell-powered cars, and while fuel cells have been used as the primary source of electrical power on human spaceflight for more than six decades, there were no maritime regulations for hydrogen storage and fuel-cell systems on a yacht of this nature. Feadship and Edmiston worked with Lloyd’s Register to develop equipment, protocols and safety regulations.

One of the biggest challenges was storing compressed liquid hydrogen belowdecks. Safe storage requires a double-walled cryogenic tank in a dedicated room. According to Feadship, it takes eight to 10 times more space to store hydrogen than the energy equivalent in diesel fuel.

Project 821 is for sale through Edmiston.

2008 Tiara Yachts 5800 Sovran – Dreamscape – St. Petersburg, FL.

Dreamscape, a 2008 Tiara Yachts 5800 Sovran, is a 58-foot express cruiser with a two-stateroom, two-head layout and triple-diesel-engine configuration. The yacht accommodates four guests for cruising and is currently listed by Galati Yacht Sales for $625,000.

This model was Tiara’s flagship at the time of launch, with a raked deckhouse, down-swept side windows, a hardtop overhang and a reverse- transom design.

Dreamscape is powered by triple, 435 hp Volvo Penta IPS 600 diesels. The IPS pod-drive system makes for easier close-quarters handling, increased fuel efficiency compared to traditional straight-shaft diesels and reduced vibration, which, in turn, lessens onboard noise.

The yacht cruises around 29 knots, with a reported top speed of 34 knots. The joystick docking system simplifies handling around the dock.

“Wait till you drive it,” came the reply from David Zgrabik, a senior service specialist for Volvo Penta. He had spent countless hours helping to plan and then install the first triple IPS 600 diesel system, the same three 435 hp engines turning azipod units with forward-facing dual-prop drives that would soon be pulling us along at cruising speeds of 30 knots for hours on end. For the next six hours, the Tiara Sovran 5800 was our magic carpet ride, smoothing out the light chop of Lake Erie.” Yachting previously reported.

The cockpit has an L-shaped settee with a high-gloss teak table, a solit setup for alfresco dining. A hydraulic swim platform with an 800-pound-capacity lift provides easy water access. There is also a wet bar with refrigerator, ice maker and electric grill. The foredeck has adjustable sun pads, offering an additional lounging space.

Sliding glass doors lead into the Dreamscape‘s salon, which includes an L-shaped leather settee, two chairs, a pop-up flat-screen TV and a wet bar with wine cooler. Large windows and skylights allow for abundant natural light. 

The helm station is located forward with twin adjustable captain’s chairs. Electronics include Raymarine multifunction displays, radar, autopilot and GPS. The IPS joystick and electronic engine controls enhance boathandling. Side windows and a sunroof can be opened for breezes when desired.

Below, the galley has Corian countertops, stainless-steel appliances, a refrigerator/freezer, convection microwave, electric cooktop, dishwasher and upper/lower cabinets for stowage.

The full-beam owners’ stateroom is located amidships with a queen-size island berth, nightstands, an entertainment system and hull-side windows for ocean views. The ensuite head includes a walk-in shower and solid-surface countertops.

The 2023 Pardo 38 No Worries is a couple-size walkaround cruiser that is currently on the market for $695,000 with Jeff Brown Yachts.

No Worries has triple Mercury 300 hp V8 outboards that provide a reported top speed of 50 knots. Cruise speed is 35 knots. The boat’s Seakeeper gyrostabilizer should help keep the boat stable as a table, while a bow thruster and a joystick help with close-quarters maneuvering.

“The Pardo 38 has a modified-V hull form with spray rails and a 20.5-degree deadrise aft. The ride is precise, a credit to designer Maurizio Zuccheri and Pardo’s in-house team,”  Yachting previously reported.

The vessel’s carbon-fiber center console and T-top contribute to its sleek profile. With a length of 37.92 feet and a beam of 11.81 feet, No Worries accommodates 12 guests for day tripping or four guests for weekend cruises across two staterooms.

“They (The Pardo 38, 43 and 50) all have a distinctive reverse bow, pop-out anchor cradles, high bulwarks capped with teak, ­carbon-fiber center consoles and T-tops, cockpit galleys, sun pads fore and aft, and aft-deck ­tables.

Grand Banks 43 Europa – Peace – Newport, Rhode Island

Peace, a 2014 Grand Banks 43 Europa, is a couple-size, Great Loop-ready cruiser with a top speed of 25 knots, two staterooms, two heads and is on the market with Grand Banks for $845,000.

“The Heritage series embodies that thoughtful process of innovation and features an iconic design that has been the mainstay of Grand Banks since 1973. Today there are four models: the 41 EU, 43 EU, 47 EU and 54 EU. When I stepped aboard the 43 EU, I knew instantly that I was on a Grand Banks because of her classic teak interior and evident craftsmanship. But once under way, I fully realized I was not on a Grand Banks of the past,” Yachting previously reported.

Powered by twin 480 hp Cummins 6.7L diesel engines with Zeus pod-drive propulsion system, Peace hits a top speed of 25 knots. During our sea trial, we saw a 10.4 gph fuel burn at 10.5 knots, which resulted in a 564-nautical-mile range with a 10 percent reserve on the yacht’s 600-gallon fuel capacity. The 43 Europa’s hull design from C. Raymond Hunt Associates has allowed engineers to add higher horsepower engines to increase top speeds with better fuel efficiency over previous hull designs.

Peace’s cockpit, which is partially shaded by the flybridge, is roomy and  comfortable with deck chairs laid out on a teak sole. Take a dive off the swim platform or just relax and enjoy the ocean breeze. With its seamless connection to the salon and galley, the cockpit is the perfect spot for guests to lounge and enjoy alfresco dining.

The flybridge has a Bimini top giving owners the option of sun or shade. There is an L-shaped settee with table to starboard and a portside bench-style settee. The aft deck currently supports a tender and davit, but when the tender is launched, the aft deck could be used for catching rays or relaxing with a bottle of wine while watching the sunset over the water. The helm station is on centerline with two seats.

Peace’s salon embodies the classic Grand Banks charm with warm teak joinery in all directions. Windows bathe the space with natural light and keep a connection with the surrounding seascape. The salon has an L-shaped settee with dining table to port and a sofa to starboard. The entertainment systems are integrated discreetly, ensuring the space remains uncluttered. Opening the sliding door to the cockpit creates an open-air environment that extends from the galley to the cockpit.

The galley is located forward of the salon and to port, and is adjacent to the lower helm station. The galley appliances include a two-burner cooktop, microwave, refrigerator and sink. Stowage is plentiful, with well-placed drawers and cabinets that optimize the available space.

The two-stateroom setup includes the master stateroom, located forward, with a queen island berth, flanked by stowage and hanging lockers. Overhead hatches and portlights provide ventilation and natural light, creating a bright and airy feel. The guest stateroom, configured with side-by-side twin berths, is equally well-appointed. Both staterooms are finished with the same rich teak joinery found throughout the yacht. The shared head features a separate shower stall, high-quality fixtures and thoughtful stowage solutions.

2021 Tiara Yachts 43 LE – Natural Selection – Fort Lauderdale, FL.

Natural Selection, a 2021 Tiara Yachts 43 LE, has a two-stateroom, one-head layout and is currently listed by HMY Yacht Sales for $849,000.

The boat is powered by triple 450 hp Mercury 450R outboards with approximately 81 hours each. It has a reported top speed of 52 knots and cruises around 35 knots. A Seakeeper SK6 gyrostabilizer provides roll reduction, while Mercury’s joystick control assists with low-speed maneuvering.

“Swing the wheel hard over at cruise speed or while going full tilt, and the yacht’s 21-degree deep-V hull digs in and carves a turn half as wide as virtually any boat this size rigged with inboards and rudders. Dockside handling was above par with the joystick control; in fact, when we returned to a cramped and crowded marina to parallel park with maybe 3 or 4 feet of clearance fore and aft, docking was simply a matter of lining up next to the opening and then nudging the joystick sideways,” Yachting previously reported.

The cockpit includes a rotating lounge that locks into multiple positions and includes a footrest. A fold-down terrace expands the usable space and provides additional water access on the hook. A retractable sunshade, transom grill and removable high-gloss teak table support alfresco dining. There is an upgraded JL Audio system with Fusion head unit. Underwater lights enhance the ambiance when the sun goes down.

Forward, the bow has sun pads with integrated cupholders. Stainless-steel bow rails provide safe transit when accessing the foredeck. 

Sliding glass doors connect the cockpit to the salon and galley. The salon is bright and open, thanks to large windows and high ceilings. Air conditioning, rotating helm chairs and sliding doors that open fully to the cockpit allow the salon to serve as a social hub. Galley features include a stainless-steel sink, microwave, Cognac wood-finished refrigerator/freezer drawers and multiple stowage compartments.

The helm electronics setup includes three 16-inch Garmin GPS displays, a Garmin 48-inch Fantom open-array radar, Mercury VesselView, Seakeeper control and an integrated sound-system interface. Opening side windows provide breezes when desired.

Belowdecks, the forward master stateroom includes a queen island berth with stowage below, reading lights, a hanging locker, privacy curtain and flat-screen TV. The second stateroom has a full-size berth and settee. The shared head has a teak shower stall with a glass door, sink and toilet.

A Seakeeper 6 gyrostabilizer helps reduce roll and enhance onboard comfort.

The yacht’s cockpit has a pearl-white, L-shaped settee with a convertible table, an electric awning for shade as well as a wet bar with refrigerator and ice maker. A transom electric BBQ and a hydraulic swim platform support al fresco meals and water access. The foredeck is outfitted with sun pads that have adjustable backrests and integrated cup holders.

This 42 Cantius has an aft-galley setup, which provides convenient access to the salon and cockpit. It’s equipped with stainless-steel appliances, including a two-burner cooktop, microwave/convection oven and refrigerator/freezer. There is stowage in upper and lower cabinets and several drawers.

An L-shaped dinette is in the salon and there is a lounge opposite the helm. A sliding glass door and retractable sunroof enhance the connection between indoor and outdoor spaces here. Light-toned upholstery and mocha oak cabinetry create a bright, open vibe.

“The salon is the 42’s focal point, a prime social space with that opening hardtop. Surrounded by glass, the forward section not only makes for a good driving platform, but also offers exceptional views of the water. Headroom was 6 feet 9 inches to the top of the sunroof, making the open-plan salon feel even more spacious. The vessel’s rear glass door slides and drops into the sole, providing a 64-inch-wide opening between the aft galley and cockpit,” Yachting previously reported.

The helm has a double-wide helm seat with a bolster and footrest. The Volvo Penta Glass Cockpit has twin Garmin 8612 multifunction displays, HD radar, sonar, autopilot, VHF radio and a FLIR M332 stabilized thermal-imaging camera for improved visibility in low light and fog.

Belowdecks, there is a full-beam master stateroom amidships and has a king-size berth, cedar-lined closets and an en suite head with a walk-in shower. The forward VIP stateroom has a queen-size berth, stowage and access to a separate head. Both staterooms have portholes for natural light and ventilation.

“Thanks Buds remains an icon in yachting circles. She was built as the second of two Gallant Lady Feadship Sportfisherman yachts. At the time of her build, there were no larger pedigree ‘Yacht Fisherman’ on the water. While newer, larger, and faster sportfishing yachts have since emerged, none match the class, grace, or quality of a Feadship. Her original design remains intact, with only system upgrades over the years. This is a rare opportunity to own an icon,” Gilman Yachts stated.

Where is Thanks Buds located? The yacht is currently lying in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

Several charter companies have recently welcomed new yachts into their charter fleets, with inquiries now being accepted for summer yacht charter bookings in the Bahamas and Mediterranean.

First up is Memento Vivere, a 130-foot Westport that RJC Yachts just welcomed to its charter fleet in the Bahamas. Built in 2005, Memento Vivere (formerly known as No Bad Ideas) was most recently refitted this year. The yacht accommodates 10 guests in five staterooms, and it’s decked out for watersports fun with a 40-foot Intrepid tender, a 14-foot AB Inflatables jet tender, a pair of Sea-Doos, a trio of Seabobs, an eFoil, an inflatable slide, paddleboards, tow toys, inflatable loungers, and snorkeling and fishing gear (including deep-sea fishing rods).

Also now accepting bookings in the Bahamas is Amore, a 2022 Numarine that is part of the Fraser fleet. This six-stateroom yacht accommodates 12 guests and has a main-deck master stateroom, as well as a second master up on the bridge deck. A multipurpose room on board can be used as an extra cabin for a nanny or other supernumerary. Guest amenities include a lower-deck cinema room with reclining chairs, a beach club with a day head and wet bar, a 29-foot Scout tender equipped for fishing, a 16-foot Highfield RIB, and various water toys.

Over in the Mediterranean, Hill Robinson has welcomed the 156-foot Baglietto Andiamo to the charter fleet in the South of France. This yacht is a 2017 build that accommodates 12 guests in six staterooms, including a full-beam master on the main deck. Notable design features include sky lounge balconies that extend out over the water to port and starboard, along with a sundeck infinity pool with a waterfall effect.

Edmiston, meanwhile, has welcomed the 180-foot Feadship Olympus to the charter fleet in the Mediterranean. It’s a 1996 custom build that was most recently refitted in 2023, with accommodations for 12 guests in their choice of eight staterooms. The master is forward-facing on the main deck with a study, hair salon, walk-in closet, his-and-hers bathroom with a whirlpool tub, and private 180-degree observation lounge. Up on the bridge deck, the VIP stateroom also has broad views of the outdoors.

And that’s not all: Fraser also recently welcomed the 270-foot Golden Yachts Emir to the charter fleet in the Mediterranean. Originally launched as O’Mega in 2004 and rejuvenated in 2022, Emir can accommodate as many as 28 guests in 14 staterooms.
