The 39.6-metre Heesen motor yacht Lionshare has been sold with Mark Elliott of IYC representing the seller and Sercan Nersesoglu of Redna Yachts introducing the buyer.
Lionshare was built with an aluminium hull and superstructure and delivered by Heesen in 1987 to a design by Mulder. She was offered for sale fresh from a large-scale 2022 refit, with upgrades including new navigation equipment on the bridge, electronic upgrades throughout, new wood flooring and carpeting, new furniture and a refreshed colour scheme. Lionshare has also recently completed her 35-year ABS special survey.
Accommodation on board is for up to 12 guests and is spread over two of her four decks. A full-beam master suite is found forward on the main deck and features a king-sized bed with a desk and vanity space. On the lower deck – accessed using an illuminated staircase – is a VIP cabin that serves as a second master suite, alongside a queen cabin, a twin cabin with a Pullman berth and a double with an additional twin and Pullman berth.
The main saloon is home to a large living area with two sofas and three armchairs that sit apart from a formal dining area further forward. Sliding glass doors lead to the aft deck where guests can enjoy a cocktail at the horseshoe-shaped bar.
Above, guests will find an al fresco dining area for up to seven guests with loose sun loungers, chairs and sofas that can be shaded by movable parasols.
Lionshare is powered by a pair of CAT C32 Acert engines, which were new in 2012 and fully rebuilt in 2020. A semi-displacement hull allows for a cruising speed of 12 knots and a maximum speed of 20 knots.
Lionshare was last asking $3,900,000.
