Christensen's 43.3-metre motor yacht Missing Link has been sold, with Tom George of DYB Group representing the seller and Kevin Merrigan and Wes Sanford of Northrop & Johnson introducing the buyer.
Delivered in 2015, Missing Link was constructed in GRP to a design and naval architecture from the US shipyard, with a modern and textural interior from American designer Carol Williamson. The 480GT motor yacht benefits from having only one owner since new, who has used her only privately.
Her broker – who was the original broker during her build in 2015 – noted that Missing Link is the only Christensen yacht built from the 43-metre series, which has several similarities with the popular 50-metre model, including the same wide nine-metre beam.
Accommodation on board Missing Link is for up to 12 guests in a five-cabin layout, including a full-beam owner's suite located on the main deck. The suite is spacious, featuring an office and seating area to starboard that leads to two walk-in wardrobes, a dressing table and his-and-hers en suite bathrooms with a large Jacuzzi bathtub.
The remaining guest accommodation is situated on the lower deck, comprising two VIP cabins with king-sized beds, one queen-sized cabin, plus one twin with Pullman berth, all with en suites including large marble showers. Additionally, there are quarters for a crew of eight.
Missing Link's social spaces are notable from the first step on board. Guests are greeted by a spacious aft deck with large sofas and marble tables, in addition to a bar with stools and a television. Heading inside through sliding glass doors, the main saloon presents a welcoming yet formal entertaining area thanks to a large U-shaped sofa and dining area seating 10 forward.
For a more relaxed setting, the skylounge above offers a bar, L-shaped sofa and casual loose chairs, leading to an al fresco dining and lounge space with a fire pit outside. Her interior is characterised by the use of rich dark woods, which are cleverly offset by light-coloured furniture and textural soft furnishings, offering a contemporary yet relaxing ambience throughout. A lift services all four decks – an impressive feature for a yacht of her size – and there is an illuminated curved marble staircase that draws attention amidships.
A highlight of her deck spaces is the large sun deck, which is fitted with a bar, sofas, low tables and a Jacuzzi flanked by sunpads and a sit-up bar. A touch-and-go helipad is also situated at the aft of the sun deck, perfect for easy access for guests. Built to ABS class, Missing Link also hosts an extensive toybox, including a Grady White tender, rescue boat, two Wave Runners and dive gear.
The yacht is powered by twin MTU engines and is IMO II emission-compliant. She can reach top speeds of 15 knots, cruising speeds of between 12 to 14 knots and offers a range of 3,000 nautical miles. She is also fitted with Quantum zero-speed stabilisers.
Missing Link was asking $23,900,000.
