A post on SuperYacht Times led me to the sale listing for Watercolours, a 115-foot Trinity yacht which underwent an extensive refit in 2007. The refit remodeled the main deck and converted the formal dining room into a country kitchen with a forward view (perhaps following the trend of houses which are increasingly blending kitchen and dining areas). The yacht has four double staterooms for up to eight guests. The warm wood of the yacht gives it a feel similar to that of a sailing sloop. It is listed for $5.7 million through Northrop and Johnson and is based in Florida.
One of the challenges of owning a yacht can be finding a place to berth her. The Sensation yacht for sale through Edmiston comes with its own spot on the French Riviera.

On deck there is a large cushioned sunbathing area aft of the cockpit and forward on the bow. There is also a dining and lounging area on deck and the entire cockpit area is air conditioned with a retractable cover for shade and privacy. The package is listed at 2,950,000 euros and a week's charter starts at 37,000 euros.

Last year when I wrote about the donation of the yacht Ring-Andersen to the Virginia Maritime Heritage Foundation I mentioned that it might be sold in a couple of years to raise money. Looks like I was off a bit, the foundation is looking to sell the yacht before the two-year mark has been reached. They have made several attempts to sell the 59-year-old wooden sailing yacht, including listing it on eBay and having a live auction. But it is only those who stop trying that fail so the yacht is again up for auction. It will be back on eBay as of December 27. The auction ends January 6.
Earlier this month, Superyacht Times reported that the Saudi Arabian Royal Yacht Al Yamamah was renamed Ocean Breeze and that she was rumored to have been presented as a gift to the King of Jordan. Just a few days later, Yachtspotter unearthed the listing for the yacht. She's for sale through Burgess for $34,450,000. The listing has some beautiful interior shots of this amazingly lavish 269-foot yacht. The yacht has accommodations for 28 in one master cabin, nine double cabins and four twin cabins. There is also room for 35 crew.
I love the sleek silver and dark exterior of this 2005 Riva yacht. It looks like the type of yacht a fabulous villain in a movie might use in an oceangoing getaway. The rather dark exterior of this 68-foot yacht contrasts with a light and contemporary interior. The yacht has a deck saloon that can be enclosed and air-conditioned or left open to catch the breezes. The pictures are of a sistership but the Sante is for sale for 2.1 million euros.
Vripack ship brokers sold the exploration yacht Turmoil last year and now they have put her sister ship on the market. Dardanella is a 121-foot research vessel designed to travel all around the world. The yacht has a full aluminum construction and underwent a refit in 2006/2007 in which the hull was painted, the decks were re-done, the main engines were overhauled and more. The yacht accommodates the owners plus eight guests and six crew, combining a tough exterior with a luxurious interior. The tenders are kept on the main foredeck and are launched and retrieved by using a giant crane. The most recent owner didn't have Dardanella very long, she was sold in April last year. After the jump, a cruise through Dardanella's expansive spaces.
Four years ago, Hodgdon Yachts launched Scheherazade, 154-foot, 7-inch ketch yacht. At the time in a local newspaper, Hodgdon Yacht spokesman Ted Smith, was quoted as saying: "the average ownership over 80 feet is three years," Smith said. "Our client is not like that." Oh how quickly they change their minds. Scheherazade is now up for sale. The yacht, which accommodates six or seven guests was designed by Bruce King with an interior by Andrew Winch Designs. Details such as hundreds of wood hand carvings throughout the boat set this beauty 500 hand carvings throughout the ship set this particular yacht apart. She is listed with Nigel Burgess for $29 million. Interior shots are after the jump.
The large yacht you see here is Baloo, a 108 foot CBI NAVI motor yacht which was launched in the second half of 2004. The yacht is now for sale for € 6,900,000. It has a master cabin, four guest cabins and crew cabins for four. The yacht has an aft deck dining table, a saloon with stern access, an owner's office, multiple sunbathing and lounging areas and a deck with a Jacuzzi. She's a beauty, I particularly like the double rear staircases and the positioning of the Jacuzzi on the second deck rather than on the top. After the jump, a few more pictures of the beautiful Baloo.

1973 Burger yacht is being sold by her attorney and the money will go to the trust with part of it earmarked for her
charitable foundation. The 108-foot yacht has four staterooms and twin diesel engines. The listing includes more pictures of the yacht, which could use a
bit of an interior upgrade unless you like the Florida retiree look.
One of my crush yachts, the 174-foot sailing yacht Drumbeat has hit the market. The beautiful yacht which has raced in the Rolex
Transatlantic Challenge and is built for speed can hit up to 23 knots. She also has five guest staterooms, marble

built in 2002 and extensively refitted in 2005. This beauty can be yours for 25 million euros.
