The 39.6-metre Westport motor yacht Dona Lola has been sold with Dirk Johnson of Edmiston representing the seller and Jeff Shaffer of Superyacht Sales and Charter representing the buyer. She will be renamed Avalina and become a superyacht for charter.
Built in 2003 of GRP at US yard Westport, the semi-displacement Westport 130 has a timeless, clean profile and proven layout. Designed in-house, her naval architecture is by William Garden.
The broker pointed out that she has been meticulously maintained, with only two owners since new, and benefits from a number of upgrades including an exterior repaint and engine overhaul completed in 2019, a refit in 2020 and a rebuild of her generators in 2023.
Accommodating 10 guests in five cabins, Dona Lola has a main deck master suite with queen-sized bed and Jacuzzi bathtub. Cherry wood is used throughout the accommodation. Two double and two twin guest cabins are located on the lower deck and there are quarters for a crew of seven.
Dona Lola has a large main deck saloon, with a separate formal dining area, and a sky lounge above with a games table and a sit-up bar. The main deck aft is generous, with room for a circular table, a settee, a wet bar, and deckchairs.
Up on the sundeck, a Jacuzzi and sunpads offer a relaxing ambiance, while steps on the foredeck – which was re-decked in teak in 2020 – lead down to a C-shaped observation settee.
Powered by a pair of 2,735hp MTU engines, the 298GT yacht has a top speed of 25 knots and cruises at 20 knots. Her inventory includes a 2019 Novurania tender.
Dona Lola was asking $9,950,000.
