Posted March 18, 2025 in Brokerage & New Build

Northrop & Johnson is delighted to announce the 153’ (46.66m) FOCUS, built by North American Shipbuilding, is now for sale with Yacht Brokers Mike Finnegan, Sean Doyle and Wes Sanford. The yacht is asking $10,250,000 and will be on display with N&J at the 2025 Palm Beach International Boat Show from March 19 to 23.

A proven ocean-going yacht with an extensive refit and upgrades made between 2023 and 2025, FOCUS is a standout in the 150-foot range. Designed by Luiz De Basto and constructed entirely in aluminum with teak decks, she delivers a balance of performance, efficiency, and long-range cruising capability. Powered by twin Caterpillar 3512B 2,250hp engines, she cruises comfortably at 13 knots, reaches a top speed of 18 knots, and boasts an impressive 5,000-nautical-mile range at 13 knots. Built to ABS classification and MCA compliance, she is as reliable as she is refined. Quantum Zero-Speed stabilizers ensure a smooth ride whether underway or at anchor. FOCUS also features a full-service elevator providing easy access to all decks for effortless movement throughout the yacht.

FOCUS’ interior is warm, timeless, and inviting, featuring styling by Ralph Lauren Home with rich African Makore mahogany and Tuscan marble throughout. Accommodations are designed for comfort and privacy, with five well-appointed staterooms for 10 guests. The master suite is uniquely positioned on the upper deck, maximizing space and views, while the lower deck features a queen stateroom, a VIP queen with an ensuite bath, and two twin staterooms, each with their own ensuite. Dedicated crew accommodations include five cabins, with private crew access and a companionway to all decks to ensure seamless service.

A key highlight of FOCUS is her unique sundeck layout. Forward, the fully enclosed observation lounge offers 270-degree views, while the open aft deck is designed for relaxation, featuring a Jacuzzi and ample sunning space. Whether entertaining guests, enjoying alfresco dining, or taking in the views, every area of FOCUS is built for an effortless onboard experience.

The yacht’s recent refits have brought her to top-tier condition. Major upgrades include a top-end overhaul of her Caterpillar engines, cylinder liner replacements, a new bow thruster, an upgraded Boning Monitoring System, a new chilled water plant, a Spot Zero system, two new hot water heaters, a complete hydraulic refit, and a new sea chest crossover for enhanced water flow management. Running gear has been fully serviced, a complete LED lighting upgrade has been installed throughout, and an integrated Starlink system now provides seamless global connectivity. The latest updates include a full sand and bottom paint, an 8,000-hour stabilizer service, and a complete polish with ceramic coating.
