The 50.5-metre motor yacht Sapphire has had a change of central agency and is now listed as a joint central agency with Superyacht Sales & Charter and Sean Doyle and Wes Sanford of Northrop & Johnson.
Built in aluminium to ABS classification by Trinity Yachts, the tri-deck yacht was delivered in 2009 to both an exterior and interior design from James McFarlane. She had a refit in 2019, with further work spanning 2020 and 2021 seeing new engines and generators fitted. She has just completed her five-year survey.
Sapphire has "flexible" accommodation and can sleep up to 20 guests in seven cabins. The owner's suite, which includes a large bathtub, is located up on the bridge deck and has sliding glass doors opening to the deck aft. A further double cabin is found up here with another on the main deck. The remaining cabins are found on the lower deck, comprising two triples, each with a queen and twin bed, as well as two twin cabins with additional Pullman berths. There are quarters for a crew of up to 12.
On the main deck aft is a large dining table, while on the bridge deck and Portuguese bridge is ample seating. Sapphire's sundeck sports more lounging space, a Jacuzzi, a bar and an al fresco dining table, perfect for enjoying the views while exploring. There is a 12-seater interior dining table in the saloon, which also has a bar. Forward of this is a "recreational room", described by the broker as being "perfect as an entertainment space for kids that can easily be converted to a VIP cabin".
Sapphire is a proven world-class motor yacht, having spent the past several years cruising extensively in remote areas of Southeast Asia. Twin 3,650hp MTU diesel engines push the 478GT yacht for sale to a top speed of 23 knots and a cruising speed of 15 knots.
The yacht has a range of 2,500 nautical miles at 12 knots and she is fitted with zero-speed stabilisers for comfort at anchor.
Lying in Boston, USA, Sapphire is asking $14,950,000.
