A new central agency has been announced for the 40-metre Westport yacht Blue Time, now listed for sale with Mark Elliot of IYC.
Built in glass-reinforced plastic (GRP), she was delivered by the US shipyard in 2009 as part of its 130 series. She underwent several extensive refits between 2021 and 2024, consisting of significant enhancements to her navigation, AV/IT and mechanical systems.
Her wood-panelled interiors were crafted in-house, while US-based designer Taylor Olson penned her classic exteriors and William Garden handled her naval architecture. Presented in turnkey condition, IYC said she "offers a compelling combination of proven performance, flexible guest accommodations and strong commercial potential".
On the main deck, the conversation area is a major focal point. Here, guests can enjoy the iPad-controlled pop-up 60-inch Samsung HDTV screen while relaxing on four accompanying chairs and a sofa.
The dining area is forward of the main saloon and can seat up to ten guests, with buffet storage cabinets to port and starboard.
Another particular favourite is a gathering area on the sky lounge, equipped with a full bar, games table, sofa and 55-inch HD LED TV screen entertainment centre. The sundeck above features an al fresco dining table, Jacuzzi, plentiful sunpads and a wet bar with barbecue grill to port.
Accommodation comfortably hosts up to 11 guests in five staterooms, as well as six crew members.
Her full-beam owner's suite is positioned forward on the main deck, while additional guest accommodation is found on the lower deck, consisting of four large cabins with three king suites and a twin cabin with a pullman.
Blue Time is powered by two MTU 12V 400 M90 diesel engines, rebuilt in 2021 alongside her generators, giving the yacht for sale a top speed of 24 knots and a cruising speed of 20 knots. She boasts a range of 3,000 nautical miles at 12 knots and is equipped with Naiad 525 zero-speed stabilisation for smooth sailing.
Lying between the private islands of Bird Cay and Chub Cay in the Bahamas, Blue Time is asking $15,900,000.
