A completed sale for an 18-metre motor yacht
Northrop & Johnson has announced the sale of 3TEN, a 1997 West Bay cockpit motor yacht described as 58 feet and approximately 18 metres. The 16 October notice identifies Tom Corkett as the broker representing the sale.
The yacht’s last asking price was $535,000. The achieved transaction value and the buyer’s identity were not disclosed, so the advertised figure should not be presented as the amount paid.
A three-stateroom arrangement
The sales account describes three staterooms for owners and guests. A full-width amidships master has a walk-around queen berth and an adjoining head with shower.
The forward VIP also has a queen berth and an adjoining head and shower. A third cabin to port contains upper and lower single berths, with separate access to the shared bathroom.
Machinery work features in the announcement
Northrop & Johnson reports a haul-out for bottom maintenance. The described work included new bottom paint and reconditioning of the propellers.
New bridge hatches and servicing of the engines and generators are also identified. These are particulars of the broker’s sales account, while the release does not supply an independent survey or a complete maintenance dossier.
Coastal-cruising equipment and performance
The broker quotes a cruising speed of 12 knots and a maximum speed of 22 knots. It lists a draft of four feet eleven inches and a stabilisation system as part of the yacht’s coastal-cruising specification.
Bow and stern thrusters are included in the published equipment description. Their presence explains part of the manoeuvring arrangement, but the announcement is not an independent handling test or a guarantee of performance in particular conditions.
A cockpit and tender for time outside
The aft cockpit is described with custom carpeting and space for relaxing outside. The published inventory also identifies a 12-foot tender with a 40-horsepower Mercury outboard.
The confirmed development is the yacht’s change of ownership. No new charter programme or delivery to a named destination is announced, and the broker’s notice should not be taken as evidence of either.
