November 2021

MIA ELISE II WALKTHROUGH VIDEO ONLINEFind out what makes MIA ELISE II such an enjoyable yacht

After a successful charter season in the Mediterranean, Mia Elise II has arrived in St Maarten and can be viewed by appointment. For a quick preview, just watch the new walkthrough video now online.   

MIA ELISE II exceeds expectations: in terms of layout, performance and capability. She is the perfect yacht for an active owner and guests with large outside decks and a spacious interior thanks to her generous 9.75m (32’) beam. At 916 GT she has almost double the volume of two 50m yachts. A large beach club with good access to the water, gym and spa and a completely private owner’s deck (with VIPs for children) served by an elevator explain why she is such a successful pleasure yacht.

MIA ELISE II is a full custom yacht with a modern classic interior by Patrick Knowles Maintained in excellent condition by a longstanding crew, she was fully refit in 2016, and the interior was refurbished in 2020. Like all Patrick Knowles interiors, MIA ELISE II is at once a “plush place of comfort and a most visually stunning environment” as crisp now as when she was delivered.

Designed by Geoff Van Aller with naval architecture by Trinity Yachts, MIA ELISE II has a draft of 2.8m or just over 9’, making her one of the largest yachts in the world capable of accessing Bahamas waters. Zero-speed stabilizers ensure comfort at anchor. 

MIA ELISE II accommodates up to 13 guests in seven staterooms, three on the Owner’s deck and four on the lower deck. One stateroom currently doubles as a private study. MIA ELISE can carry up to 16 crew members in 9 cabins including the captain’s and chief engineer’s cabins on the main deck. 
Cayman registered, MIA ELISE II is classed by ABS and is MCA compliant. Her twin 3516 Caterpillars provide a cruising speed of 11.0 knots and a top speed of 18.0 knots. At 11 knots her cruising range is 3,500 nautical miles. Proven beyond doubt, she has completed at least 12 Atlantic crossings. MIA ELISE II carries two tenders and a huge fleet of water toys. 

Her asking price is USD 38,000,000. Please note that MIA ELISE II is not for sale to US Residents in US waters. For more information, contact Stuart at +1 954 328 6553 or

NEW CENTRAL LISTING  –  AWATEA
October 2021

NEW CENTRAL LISTING – AWATEAA rare opportunity in a booming market with inventory in short supply

The 45-metre (147’ 6”) AWATEA is an oceangoing motor yacht with a steel hull and aluminum superstructure. AWATEA was custom built by Royal Hakvoort in 2008.  Diana Yacht Design was responsible for the naval architecture and her exterior was designed by Cor de Rover. The interior layout and original interior design were by Felix Buytendijk.
 
In 2019 AWATEA underwent a major refit, including hull paintwork, custom tenders, engine room overhaul and an AV and IT refit. The interior was redecorated by the talented owner/designer Peter Tatham who lightened the palette and refreshed all the soft fabrics providing an elegant “New England” twist to the original nautical style.
 
Although AWATEA has only been used privately, she can be operated on a full professional basis. Built to Lloyds and MCA, she was the first Dutch motor yacht to be constructed for charter under the new guidelines for Commercial Cruising Vessels (CCV). AWATEA was nominated for the 2009 World Superyachts Award.
 
AWATEA has a dynamic silhouette characterized by a sweeping line that extends from the stern to the top of her superstructure. Her sundeck with whirlpool and bar and indeed
 all exterior deck areas are spacious and functional. The exterior finish is classic nautical with teak caprails and veneered recesses around windows. She has a level of warmth and personality that is rare on yachts of her size.
 
AWATEA feels more like a 50m+ yacht than a 45m. Her spacious interior which feels much larger than her 499 gross tons includes elements of sailing yacht décor. Warm mahogany panels, beautifully beveled raised panel joinery and white surfaces are combined to great effect.
 
AWATEA accommodates 10 guests in five staterooms and up to 12 using pullman berths, as well as 9 crew. The full beam owners’ suite, accessed via a study, is located forward on the main deck. It feels very airy thanks to large windows and exceptional headroom of 2.30m or 7’6”.
 
The lower deck has four guest cabins, larger than those commonly found on a 45-metre boat including two double or twin cabins and two VIPs, each with an en-suite bathroom and an extra Pullman bunk. All cabins feature Creston controls to manage the Kaleidescape AV system, lighting, curtains and air-conditioning.
 
AWATEA is powered by two Caterpillar diesel 3508B engines and has a range of 4,600 nm at 11.3 knots. With proven seaworthiness including trips to Norway, her full displacement hull is capable of comfortable worldwide cruising, also thanks to her VT Naiad zero speed stabilizers.
 
Beautifully maintained and ready for immediate use, a rare opportunity in the current market, AWATEA is asking Euro 19.5m and can be viewed by appointment in the Rybovich Free Trade Zone in West Palm Beach, Florida. Contact Stuart at +1 954 328 6553 or

FIVE YACHTS IN MONACO YACHTS SHOW
September 2021

FIVE YACHTS IN MONACO YACHTS SHOW Three at the dock and two at anchor

Stuart is pleased to confirm that five of his central listings will be on display at the MYS. Tatoosh, C2 and Skat will be in slips in Port Hercules while Planet Nine and Mia Elise II will be at anchor.

Collectively adding up to over 10,000 gross tons, each of the yachts has a distinctive track record and individual features that set it apart, in terms of design, performance, track record and build quality and capabilities.

The 92m TATOOSH was built by Nobiskrug with exterior styling and naval architecture and interior by two industry legends, Claus Kusch and Terry Disdale. Tatoosh spans six decks and - one of her most distinguishing features - carries an extraordinary range of tenders, two of which are over 13m. She is heli-capable with an on-board refueling system. Commercially registered and MCA complaint, she has an amazing track record of global cruising.

C2 was designed as a family yacht, a home on the water. Built by another renowned German shipyard, Abeking and Rasmussen in 2019, her hull was extended by 7m to incorporate a new 3rd generation beach club and swimming pool on the main deck aft. If anything, the refit carried out by the original builder, has further streamlined her sleek exterior lines.  Spacious at 2,150 GT, she can accommodate up to 31 guests in 15 staterooms. C2 is commercially registered and MCA compliant.

Instantly recognizable, the 71m SKAT is one of Espen Øino’s most iconic designs. Visually dramatic, the exterior is constructed by harmoniously balanced geometric shapes and clean lines which deliberately reflect the materials used for the construction - steel, aluminum and glass. The only curved line is her flared bow. Her distinctive grey color highlights the angular hull design.  The minimalist interior designed by Marco Zanini to match the exterior and maximize the use of space, has ultra-clean lines. SKAT was - and remains - well ahead of her time.

PLANET NINE is a true expedition superyacht. Built in 2018 to explore in extreme conditions , her imposing profile by Tim Heywood is reminiscent of a military vessel. In 2019, PLANET NINE completed a five-month cruise to Antarctica and the Pacific coast of South America, redefining luxury exploration cruising. On her return, Stuart remarked that “Planet Nine is one of the very few yachts that has been designed for summer and colder winter long-range cruising. She is ahead of the curve”.  Built to Lloyd’s Register Ice Class 1D and equipped with dynamic positioning and zero speed stabilizers for comfort at anchor, PLANET NINE has a commercially approved helideck, with an enclosed, below-deck hangar accessed by a lifting platform for an eight-ton helicopter, and an onboard refueling facility. The hangar allows Planet Nine to handle two aircraft at the same time.

MIA ELISE II
The 60m American designed and built superyacht, Mia Elise II is known as one of the best charter yachts in her class. And there is a reason: she is the perfect yacht for an active owner and guests. Her layout is excellent with huge outside decks and spacious interior volume thanks to her generous 9.75m (32’) beam. Add a beach club with good access to the water, a gym and spa and a completely private owner’s deck (with VIPs for children) and an elevator serving all guest decks, and you see why MIA ELISE II is so popular. Her 916 GT essentially allows the same volume as you would find in two 50m yachts! Seaworthy and performing, MIA ELISE II has completed 12 Atlantic crossings since 2016.

All yachts can be seen by appointment. Contact Stuart at +1 954 328 6553 or

NEW CENTRAL AGENCY: C2
September 2021

NEW CENTRAL AGENCY: C2Top German pedigree and build quality – a unique opportunity in a thinning marketplace

Stuart is pleased to announce his central listing of C2, the 85m (280’) displacement yacht built by the renowned German shipyard Abeking & Rasmussen in 2009. Abeking & Rasmussen was also responsible for her naval architecture while the graceful exterior lines are by Reymond Langton Design.
Mark Berryman created the comfortable, flowing interior spaces with clean lines, neutral colors and lots of natural light. Well-maintained by her long-standing crew and a sizeable budget, C2 stands out in a thinning marketplace for her top German pedigree, build quality and engineering.

C2 was designed as a family yacht, a home on the water. Although she is commercially compliant, she has only been used privately by her original owner since delivery. Spacious at 2,150 GT, she is split over 6 decks and accommodates up to 31 guests in 15 staterooms. Her functional layout and large volume ensure some staterooms can be easily repurposed for living, well-being, entertaining or business.
The main deck aft doubles as an outside cinema. A glass elevator serves 5 decks from the sundeck to the lower deck and there is a massage parlor on the sundeck and formal and informal dining areas, inside or out on most decks.

Fully refit at her mother’s shipyard in 2019, renovation works included a 7m (26’) extension of the hull with the inclusion of a glass-bottomed swimming pool flush with the transom, a large swim platform and a new full-beam beach club open on three sides providing easy access to the water and excellent cross ventilation.
The main salon was resized to include an extra two cabins. The refit included a number of technical upgrades and new installations including Quantum XT zero speed fins and new paintwork. In addition to increasing living spaces on board, the extension also modernized her sleek exterior lines and profile. 

The asking price is Eur 90,000,000. C2 is not available for sale to US residents while in US waters. She is on display at the Monaco Yacht Show and can be seen by appointment. For more information contact Stuart at +1 954 328 6553 or

Stuart is delighted to announce the sale of Heesen’s YN 19650, Project AURA, a 50-metre steel displacement motor yacht built just under the 500 GT threshold.

Her bulbous bow adds both comfort and fuel-efficiency during long passages in open water and in rough seas.

Two MTU 8V4000 M63 engines give AURA a top speed of 15 knots, and a range of 3,800 nautical miles at her cruising speed of 13 knots.

AURA has generous outdoor decks including a beautifully designed beach club aft with a fold down platform. The large sun deck is complete with whirlpool, al fresco dining and sun loungers. Tenders and toys are stored on the foredeck.

Her interior is defined by clean lines and surfaces with lots of natural light and chic décor. Ten guests are accommodated in five ample cabins, with four suites on the lower deck and the spacious, full-beam master stateroom on the main deck forward. AURA can accommodate 9 crew.

Construction and outfitting is already well advanced such that AURA will be delivered in April 2022 after intensive testing in the North Sea.

U.S. CUSTOMS DUTY NOW PAID ON SCOUT II
July 2021

U.S. CUSTOMS DUTY NOW PAID ON SCOUT IICurrently available for inspection to US residents

When SCOUT II came back to the market in January, she was the most interesting exploration yacht under 500GT. If possible, she has become even more interesting following the payment of the US Customs duty. Now available for inspection by US residents in US waters, SCOUT II can be viewed by appointment in Maine.

Built by Brooke Yachts in 1993, SCOUT II underwent a multi-million-dollar refit in 2018 and the interior décor was refreshed in 2021. The 2018 refit was managed by Van Aller Yacht and Naval Design and entailed extending SCOUT II’s aft by 5m and forward by 1m, redesigning her bow and installing a new mast; she was also fully repainted. The bow redesign gives SCOUT II a modern look and the increased flare and height makes her dryer forward. In addition, key and machinery (zero speed stabilizers, generators and air conditioning) was replaced, added or remanufactured. 

The exterior and interior of SCOUT II were originally designed by Terry Disdale.  Disdale is renowned for creating refreshingly casual yet chic designs which balance contemporary elegance with relaxed comfort, coupled with an intelligent approach to the use of space. In 2021, the main deck salon and aft were refurbished with new soft goods, furniture and fabrics. The upper deck furniture and fabrics were also refreshed. The renovation was beautifully executed in true ‘beach house not penthouse’ Disdale style.

One of SCOUT II’s most interesting features is her 30ft beam, 4ft wider than is standard for a yacht of her size.  The additional width provides greater stability under way and at anchor and the deck space is increased dramatically, as is the interior volume.
A very seaworthy and capable yacht, SCOUT II has transatlantic range and a proven track record of global cruising.  She accommodates 9 guests in four staterooms (including two masters) and carries nine crew although she can be managed with less.

SCOUT II is asking USD 9,900.000. For more information contact Stuart at +1 954 328 6553 or

SIGNIFICANT PRICE REDUCTION ON SKAT
June 2021

SIGNIFICANT PRICE REDUCTION ON SKAT SKAT is now en route to Toulon, France

Stuart is pleased to announce a major price reduction for the 71m I 233’ SKAT. Formerly asking €56,500,000, the helicopter capable, long range motoryacht designed by Øeino and built by Lurssen is now competitively priced at €49,500,000. SKAT is en route to Toulon, ETA in La-Seyne-sur- mer, Toulon, France, today, June 25.

With her distinctive profile shaped by a succession of flat intersecting surfaces highlighted by the distinctive gray color – the only curved line is the flare of the bow -, SKAT has turned heads since she was launched. Her striking exterior lines are complemented by the timeless, minimalist interior by Marco Zanini.

One of SKAT most interesting design features is the bridge deck glass conservatory which allows natural light to come in from above and below and magnificent views over the ocean. SKAT has six double staterooms plus a child’s cabin which can also be used as an owner’s office. She has an elevator which serves all decks (including crew decks for ease of operations), a gym on the upper deck and a beach club with safe access to the sea.

SKAT was built to maximize comfort at sea and efficiency and is extremely quiet. To reduce noise and vibration, the engines, gensets, compressors and water makers are double-resilient mounted on a massive steel “raft” floating on 28 flexible mounts. The two exhaust systems in the upper engine room are encapsulated in stainless steel. In addition, floors and ceilings throughout the yacht are soft-mounted to eliminate propagation of noise or vibration through the hull and superstructure. 

SKAT carries two 8.5m tenders in her aft garage and has an additional garage for extra toys.

Austal, Australia's global shipbuilder, was responsible for the naval architecture.

SIRONA III’s modern art deco inspired interior created by OceanFast’s in-house design team led by Craig Beale.

SIRONA III is a twin-screw oceangoing full displacement yacht powered by two Caterpillar 1,750hp engines. She is capable of a top speed of 15 knots and cruises at 12 knots. At 10 knots she has a maximum range of 5,200 nautical miles. On-board power is provided by three Caterpillar generators and SIRONA III is also fitted with Quantum zero speed stabilizers.
Marshall Island flagged, SIRONA III is classified by Lloyd’s and, although she has never chartered, is MCA compliant.
