Description
This Christensen 155ft motor yacht has one of the most successful charter programs today. She represents a rare opportunity to buy a vessel with such strong return-on-investment opportunities.
Delivered in 1997, SEA CLASS underwent comprehensive refits in 2018, 2022 and 2024 including a new interior, full paint and complete rebuild of engines.
SEA CLASS sleeps 12 guests in 6 staterooms, with an expansive on deck, full beam master suite with his and hers ensuite bathrooms. Three accommodations include a bonus cabin on the main deck that is perfectly suited for a caregiver or young children.
She is today one of the most successful charter yachts in the global fleet. Her established charter history is a result of her fantastic range of on board features for large groups. Her expansive sundeck is complete with shade sails, a four person sun bed, loungers, comfortable helm seats, a BBQ and a Jacuzzi. The bright skylounge and bar has exceptionally large windows while her upper aft deck is complete with wet bar and wrap around teak decks.
SEA CLASS also benefits from many amenities on board. With abundant activities and toys to choose from, she has huge appeal for those seeking an active experience on a yacht. A wide staircase leads down to her oversized swim platform where guests can enjoy her stellar range of water equipment and inflatables.
Her exterior design is by Donald Starkey, with a contemporary interior by Glade Johnson Design, and she benefits from a remarkable amount of natural light. The yacht's shallow draft and substantial cruising range of 3,500 nautical miles ensures that even the most remote anchorages are accessible while on board. She has a top speed of 16 knots and zero speed stabilizers assure comfort for all while at anchor.
A competitively priced yacht with exceptional charter income potential, SEA CLASS is a smart choice for an any business-savvy yacht owner.
