One of the most travelled yachts in the world with proven capability, even in the harshest climates, the 126m I 414ft Octopus was delivered by Lurssen in 2003. With naval architecture and exterior styling by Espen Øino, Octopus is built to Ice-class 1A and has two helipads: one forward and one aft with access to a large helicopter garage for two helicopters.

Her hull design includes an integrated dock with lock doors at the stern. It houses a 60-foot submarine capable of carrying ten people and a Hinckley tender. When the vessels are on board, the water is pumped out providing a drydock facility. In addition, Octopus carries seven other tenders including the 13.5m I 44ft custom Hinckley Talaria dive tender, an ROV and an array of water toys.

The interior was designed by Jonathan Quinn Barnett. Octopus has a dedicated Owner’s deck with a private elevator and an observation lounge. Overall, she can house 26 guests in 13 staterooms. Amenities include a large cinema and a recording studio with a purpose-designed floor to damp out low-frequency noise and vibration, a beach club, dive-center with hyperbaric chamber, a pool, gym, and a spa with hammam and sauna.

Octopus is powered by diesel-electric propulsion and can reach a maximum speed of 18 knots. At 14 knots she has a trans-Pacific range of 12,500 nm.

NEW CENTRAL AGENCY - SIRONA III
October 2020

NEW CENTRAL AGENCY - SIRONA IIIThe 56.40m I 185'0" Jon Bannenberg design built by Oceanfast

Stuart is pleased to announce his appointment as central agent for the sale of Sirona III, the 56.40m (185’) custom—built yacht delivered by Oceanfast in 2004.
One of the last yachts designed by the legendary Jon Bannenberg, Sirona III has a dashing profile and streamlined proportions enhanced by her royal blue hull which are as contemporary today as when she was launched.  Arguably the best Oceanfast built, Craig Beale coordinated the design team which included Sam Sorgiovanni who curated the crisp interior styling. The naval architecture was entrusted to Oceanfast’s owning company, the global shipbuilder Austal Ships, known to deliver performance, comfort, economy and reliability.

Built to Lloyds classification and MCA compliant, Sirona III has a steel hull and white composite (FRP) low maintenance superstructure. Although full displacement, her hull is relatively shallow and well suited for cruising the Bahamas. Sirona III is equipped with Caterpillar engines, Caterpillar generators, zero speed stabilizers and has trans-Pacific range at 10 knots. At top speed Sirona III can reach almost 15 knots and cruise comfortably at 12 knots.
Sirona III’s layout is versatile and optimizes interior and exterior space. There are a number of original outside entertaining areas: a great exterior forward lounge area on the bridge deck and a bar with al fresco dining on the sun deck. The sun deck also includes an indoor gym with a steam shower and day head. On the main deck the sliding glass doors of the formal saloon can be opened to create a giant al fresco entertaining area.

Sirona III’s crisp and contemporary interior is decorated in neutral tones with accents of color. Thanks to her large vertical windows, the overall effect is light and airy, with a modern art-deco feel. Sirona III can accommodate 12 guests in a bridge deck owner’s stateroom, four guest suites on the lower deck and a convertible stateroom/salon/TV lounge on the main deck. The four guest suites have extremely versatile bed arrangements such that SIRONA III can sleep up to 16 guests. She carries up to 15 crew.

Built by an experienced yachtsman and maintained in top condition, Sirona has only had two owners and has never been chartered.
Sirona III is asking USD 17,500,000. Currently she is lying in Fort Lauderdale and can be viewed by appointment. Please contact Stuart at +1 954 328 6553 or
Stuart.Larsen@fraseryachts.com . Please note that Sirona III is not offered for sale to US residents while in US waters.

STUART SELLS TURQUOISE YACHTS 75m PROJECT Project NB69
August 2020

STUART SELLS TURQUOISE YACHTS 75m PROJECT Project NB69 Scheduled for delivery November 2021

Stuart is pleased to announce the sale of new 75-metre Turquoise Yachts Project NB69 confirming the ongoing enthusiasm for yachting which has continued throughout the global health crisis.  
 
A sister ship of NB66, NB69 has a steel hull and aluminum superstructure and is designed by A.Vallicelli & C. Yacht Design with naval architecture by Turquoise and interior design by the Dutch designer Sinot.
 
In mid-July, NB69 was transferred from the Kocaeli facility to the Pendik shipyard for completion of interior installation and outfitting including the top paint coat. She is on schedule for sea trials in 14 months and delivery is contracted for November 2021.
 
Spanning 6 six decks, of which two are dedicated to technical and crew areas, the originality of NB69’s style plays on harmonious contrasts between soft and rigid elements. The styling of the superstructure and the hull is a combination of simple, sleek lines and a powerful, dynamic look. “A tight line starting in the bow area, that then, at the center of the boat, becomes a curved concave line that gently slopes down towards the aft section. With a profile reminiscent of sporty sailing, the low angle of the transom slope and the long forward overhang, make this 75m yacht appear long, slender, and elegant in support of her generous interior volume”.
 
At more than 1700 GT and with a 14.2m beam, NB69 can reach 17knots, powered by Caterpillar 3516C engines. Equipped with Naiad zero speed stabilizers, she is built to Lloyd’s class.
 
Sinot, known for their owner-centered custom designs, has devised some highly creative solutions for the interior including a spectacular pool lounge and spa treatment room.
 
In addition to a 4m pool on the main deck, the yacht features an unusually large “generation three” full-beam beach club which opens on three sides, with the port and starboard shell doors converting into extended platforms on the sea.
Guest accommodation includes the Owner’s suite on a private deck and 5 guest cabins plus a VIP cabin on the main deck. NB69 carries up to 22 crew in 10 double cabins in addition to the captain’s quarters.
 
A touch-and-go helicopter pad is located forward on the upper deck and the large tender garages house a 10m limousine tender as well as the 8.5m multi-purpose guest tender, a 5.5m rescue/crew tender and several wave runners along with Nitrox diving capability.

August 2020

45m (147’) AWATEA SOLD Stuarts fifth sale in 2020

Stuart is pleased to announce the sale of Awatea, the 45-metre ocean-going motor yacht delivered by Hakvoort in 2008. Stuart acted for the buyer. Correctly priced and in excellent condition, Awatea (former My Trust) had not reached the market, but was based in Antibes. Awatea is Stuart’s fifth sale in 2020, confirming strong demand and resilient pricing notwithstanding the current travel restrictions.

With a steel hull and aluminum superstructure, Awatea was designed by Cor de Rover with naval architecture by Diana Yacht Design while Felix Buytendijk was responsible for the interior design.
In 2018, the new owner redecorated the interior, lightening the palette without altering the layout. The current interior is modern classic featuring mahogany panels, superbly bevelled raised panel joinery and classic white painted surfaces and beamed deck heads. The prevailing color scheme includes tones of blue, aqua and white.

Built to Lloyds and MCA, Awatea was the first yacht to be built for chartering under the Dutch government rules for Commercial Cruising Vessels (CCV) and has the perfect length and layout for worldwide family cruising.
Larger than normal for a 45m, her layout makes the most of her 499 GT. All five staterooms are really spacious with en-suite bathrooms and the full-beam master suite, accessed via a private study, has 2.30m headroom.  She sleeps 10 guests with the master suite on deck and accommodates nine crew. A tender garage for a 7.6m tender and all her water toys keeps her decks clear for owner and guest relaxation.

Awatea is equipped with an ultra-modern stabilization system and cruises comfortably at 11.3 knots with max speed of 13 knots. Powered by twin 3508 Caterpillar engines she has a range of 4,600 nautical miles at her cruising speed.

BLUE TOO SOLD
July 2020

BLUE TOO SOLD 34m performance ketch built by Alloy Yachts

SStuart is pleased to announce the sale of the sailing yacht Blue Too, his fourth sale in 2020. Notwithstanding the unprecedented global health crisis, interest in yachting remains steady, including interest from younger, first time buyers and also due to low interest rates and a relatively stable stock market.

BLUE TOO is a superb world cruiser designed by Ron Holland globally known for his successful maxi-racers and large, performance-oriented cruising yachts. Built in 1998 by Alloy Yachts in New Zealand she has been maintained in mint condition with two full refits in 2008 and 2016. A Patton survey completed in 2019 concluded that "BLUE TOO is a well-built yacht designed for world cruising. She has been proven over her lifetime with many Transocean passages, both Atlantic and Pacific. The vessel has been maintained very well by her present owner and crew with several major refits and up-graded equipment. She is in first class cruising condition”.

BLUE TOO includes state-of-the-art equipment like in-furling booms, bow and stern thrusters and a hydraulic transom with a fold-down stairway to the bathing platform. With a total sail area of 6,675 sq ft (620 sq m) last season she won the St Barths Bucket in her class with three first place finishes and the largest cumulative margin ever recorded in the Bucket's history.

Her performance under sail is only matched by the superb quality of the Redman Whiteley Dixon interior and layout. A very interesting feature is her two-cockpit design.  The spacious central cockpit offers superb seating, sailing comfort and room for al fresco dining while there is a private owner’s cockpit aft with direct access from the master stateroom.
BLUE TOO can accommodate six guests and all staterooms have entertainment centers and en-suite bathroom facilities, while a further two cabins sleep five crew.
BLUE TOO was asking USD 4,900,000.

MAG III SOLD
July 2020

MAG III SOLDAn exceptional Benetti Vision

Stuart is pleased to announce the sale of MAG III, his third sale in 2020 after the 74m Odyssey and the 41m Dreamer.
Without doubt the 45m MAG III was the best-in-class Benetti Vision on the market.  MAG III was delivered in 2009 as Hull # 11 of 19 and is equipped with Zero-speed stabilizers and an elevator from the lower to the upper decks. Built to ABS class by a project manager who had 16 Benetti build projects to his name, she has transatlantic range and, although only used privately, MAG III is MCA compliant and her 10-year class survey was completed at the end of 2019. She was also US duty paid.

In pristine condition, MAG III punches well above her weight. Her elegant interior is beautifully decorated by Bannenberg and Rowell who optimized her functional layout showcasing the impressive airy interior spaces and the large sun deck, with a hot tub and al fresco dining, to their best.
The swim platform is accessed from the main deck aft. The tender garage doors fold down creating a large area on the water and when the toys are out of the garage the area becomes a beach club.

MAG III accommodates 12 guests in five staterooms. The full beam master stateroom on the main deck is very spacious with a private study, an unusual 270-degree panoramic view from the stateroom, his and her baths, generous closets and storage space. The stateroom opens onto a private veranda forward.
At USD 10,750,000 MAG III was more competitively priced than other Visions on the market which did not offer the same amenities, technical standard and levels of maintenance.

SEA FOREVER – EN-ROUTE TO THE US
July 2020

SEA FOREVER – EN-ROUTE TO THE USScheduled to arrive at the end of July

Sea Forever is returning to the US and scheduled to reach Savannah (Georgia) at the end of July.  She has cruised from Tahiti under her own steam, just one more chapter in her world-class track record.
Built by the Vancouver-based ABD Aluminum Yachts, one of the best regarded aluminum yacht builders in North America, SEA FOREVER (ex. Polar Bear) was designed to cruise in remote locations where the need for room, range, storage and efficiency is paramount. In fact, Sea Forever has more usable volume than any other 93' yacht on the water. In addition, she has a 7.2m beam and an imposing bow rising one-and-a-half decks above the water. The bow improves fuel efficiency and reduces pitching. On delivery, Ed Fry commented that “She’s built to survive 20-foot waves without shipping water.”
 
Launched in 2007, for the next ten years Sea Forever only cruised in the Pacific Northwest and Alaska during summer months. The current owners purchased her in 2017 and stepped up the game. In 2018 she navigated the Sea of Cortez to northern Panama before returning to San Diego for an extensive yard period at Marine Group Boat Works. The last 18 months have been spent cruising through the South Pacific with stops in Perlas Islands, Panama; Galapagos; Marquesas, Society Islands and Tuamotus in French Polynesia.
Sea Forever has a proven track record in good and bad weather and is economical and efficient to operate. She has also been rigorously maintained and shows like new.
 
The interior by David Boudreau is in unstained maple with light fabrics. The overall effect is subtle and airy enhanced by the large windows on all levels ensuring Sea Forever feels larger than her 216 GT.
She can accommodate 8 guests in three staterooms on the Main deck plus the Master suite on the Bridge deck. The master is completely private with large windows on port and starboard and a sizeable personal aft deck.
Sea Forever carries two good size tenders and has an extended beach club with a large lazarette kitted out to store scuba gear.
 
Sea Forever is asking $6,500,000 and will be viewable by appointment on arrival. Please note Sea Forever is not for sale to US Residents in US Waters. For more information contact Stuart at +1 954 328 6553 or
Stuart.Larsen@fraseryachts.com and check out  http://stuartlarsen.com/en/yacht-detail/02-yacht-for-sale/352-sea-forever.cfm .

NEW CENTRAL LISTING: M/Y SKAT
June 2020

NEW CENTRAL LISTING: M/Y SKATThe iconic helicopter capable motor yacht by Lurssen

Stuart is delighted to announce the central listing of SKAT, the 71m I 233’ delivered by Lurssen Werft Bremen in 2002.
SKAT was and remains one of the most remarkable yachts afloat.  And not only for her radical design by Espen Øino: her engineering, construction and systems are as forward thinking and detailed as her styling. Her maintenance program is second to none, managed by her captain who has been onboard since delivery.

Stark and imposing with beautifully clean lines, when she was launched SKAT broke with yacht design conventions. Not being a slave to trends or fashion, she remains as cutting edge today as when she was built. 
The minimalist interior with ultra-clean lines was designed by Marco Zanini to match the exterior and maximize the use of space. Zanini worked with few materials and colors but achieved an elegant richness. The construction brief called for as much light as possible which is the reason for the glass conservatory on the bridge deck which allows natural light to come in from above and below, also affording magnificent views.
SKAT was built for comfort and performance. To ensure quiet operations, even by the strictest standards, machinery is mounted on double-resilient mounts while floors and ceilings throughout are soft-mounted. Optimization of the bulbous bow design produced a 15% fuel savings. Similar optimization of the rudders and stabilizers produced an additional 9% saving.

Skat can accommodate up to 12 guests in 6 staterooms plus 2 more in a child’s cabin and carries up to 20 crew. She has only been used privately.
Offered for sale by her original owner, SKAT is asking Euro 56.500.000. Please note that SKAT is not available for sale to US residents while in US waters.
Contact Stuart for more information at +1 954 328 6553 or 
stuart.larsen@fraseryachts.com or view at http://stuartlarsen.com/en/yacht-detail/02-yacht-for-sale/370-skat.cfm .
