THANKS FOR VISITING MIKE IN MONACO.
I will be on hand at The Monaco Show to assist clients, old and new, in getting the best out of the Show. I can arrange inspections of vessels of particular interest, as well as offering a cold drink and a place to rest those weary feet. This is my third Monaco Show, and I am now quite familiar with the format and arrangement. The listing M.Y. THETIS and the M.Y. BLUE MOON (both 165' tri-deckers) were in Monaco. I can easily arrange inspections of these vessels to suit your schedule.
Further on in this News List there is information on my Mega-Sailing Yacht listing from Ron Holland and CYD. I will be available to discuss that new build in detail during Monaco.

MIKE SIGNS NEW C.A. FOR CHEOY LEE 98.
I am please to announce my appointment as Central Agent for the Cheoy Lee 98 LADY KATHRYN. The vessel is in great condition, having undergone an extensive re-fit in 2001 and 2003 that included new main engines, equipment replacement and a lengthening, that included a true fishing cockpit. The cockpit extension allowed for a cavernous full-headroom storage area below the aft deck that can be used for a dive room, workshop, extra cabin or whatever purpose will suit a new owner.Please click on this link to view more information on LADY KATHRYN.

THE FEADSHIP BLUE MOON IS FOR SALE. I would be pleased to arrange an Inspection.
BLUE MOON is one of the finest examples of a modern FEADSHIP and is for sale as a Central Listing because the Owner has just taken delivery of his new, larger FEADSHIP. Built as the first aluminum hull from Van Lent over 500 tons, she was designed to be suitable for Bahamas cruising, if and when it suited the Owners plans. Her shallow draft is ideal for that purpose, but does not restrict her sea-going abilities at all. She left Fort Lauderdale in May for the Mediterranean, and after her Summer Cruise, she will be available for inspection at the Monaco Show in September, prior to steaming back to the Caribbean for her winter cruise. See this link.

NEW 165’ M.Y. THETIS FOR SALE. Delivery September this year.
The brand new tri-deck Motor Yacht THETIS has completed sea-trials and received her (under 500t) Tonnage Certificate. Final joinery fit-out is nearly complete, and she will be shown at Monaco for the first time. Full B.V. Ice Class Classification and U.K.-MCA Acceptance ensures a great future for this magnificent, true globally capable, long range vessel. With a top speed right on 17 knots and a continuous rated cruise of 15 knots, this yacht with her Northern European standard of fit-out and her high spec’s is a must see. The vessel is for sale now, before Monaco, and a buyer has the opportunity to select fabrics and soft goods prior to delivery, if the move is made quickly. As Central Agents I can arrange inspection of the vessel at any time from now on, or at Monaco. This yacht is fantastically priced and I invite you inquiry.

MIKES Mega-Sailing Yacht Central Listing from RON HOLLAND and CCYD
The CCYD Builders and Designer Ron Holland will be in Monaco again to answer questions and offer consultation on this specific project and the other in-house yachts they are building. My Central Agency provides me special access to the Builders, CCYD, and the Designer, Ron Holland, and I encourage you to discuss this with me prior to the Show. The collaboration between CCYD and Ron has produced several vessels of distinction in the past, but this newest collaboration with the 164’ mega-ketch extends that relationship to a new level.Please see the link above for CCYD and Ron Holland.

SPECIAL INTEREST. Very Large Sailing Yachts from TONY CASTRO and MIKE SHARPE.
I am working on two special projects for separate clients desiring to build large sailing yachts, with specialized features that would make them suitable for both charter and family use. The secondary focus is to make sure that when the vessels are ready to be sold, at some future date, they don’t suffer the fate of so many large sailing yachts that remain ‘on-the-market forever’, because of layout peculiarities that don’t take into account those requirements for special appeal at re-sale.
Who better than a broker with 25 years Captaining experience, and well over 200,000 miles of ocean experience, to link up with a top naval architect to propose that vessel. Tony’s vast experience in his field and my own background have produced several proposals for large performance oriented sailing yachts that meet the criteria expressed above. At this stage they range from 130’ to 165’, with other designs to follow.
If your interest is in the large sailing yacht field, whether new as proposed here, or used, I will be pleased to let you in on the secrets of what makes a great sailing yacht great to enjoy, and what issues are important when it comes time to sell that yacht, prior to your next adventure in yachting.
As Sailing Yacht Specialists for over a quarter of a century, I have the experience to differentiate between the great yachts, the also-rans and the ones that don’t appeal to the Buyers. This information and experience will help us guide you through the ‘specialized field’ of sailing yacht do’s and don’ts. That what we are about and our experience will impress you.
