Back in South Florida: Four Standout Yachts Ready for the Season
From a 157-foot Christensen with an elevator serving all four decks to a shark-grey Riva built for speed, these four yachts are back in local waters and ready to be seen in person.
Here is a closer look at LADY JOY, LADY J, SERENITY and NO SURRENDER.
LADY JOY | 157' Christensen | 2007 / 2022
LADY JOY is the largest of the group and a true tri-deck with presence. Built by Christensen Shipyards in the USA with an interior by Carol Williamson, she has remained with her original owner since launch and benefits from an annual refit program that shows in every detail.
She welcomes up to 16 guests across six cabins, including a main-deck owner’s suite with his and her ensuites, a spa tub, a steam shower and a private office. An optional seventh cabin can serve guests or crew, and an elevator connects all four decks.
Recent updates keep her fresh… a rebuilt main deck bar with new marble tops, quartz exterior surfaces, two new pizza ovens on the sundeck, a full A/C chiller replacement and three Starlink Maritime antennas. On deck, guests enjoy a six-person jacuzzi, a 12m custom SACS tender, two 2024 Sea-Doos, Seabobs, e-foils and a Flyboard.

LADY J | 142' Palmer Johnson | 1997 / 2021
LADY J brings classic American yachtbuilding pedigree with modern mechanical peace of mind. Designed by Tom Fexas and finished by Palmer Johnson in Wisconsin, she carries a timeless Terence Disdale interior with rich Cuban Mahogany raised paneling throughout.
The big story is below decks… new Caterpillar C32 engines and ZF transmissions were installed in 2021 with a factory warranty extendable to 2031, and her generators were remanufactured in 2023. Recent work also includes a stabilizer actuator rebuild, new watermakers and an automated steering transfer system.
Five staterooms include a full-beam master on the main deck, and the four guest cabins offer flexible berth combinations that suit families and charter groups alike. The sundeck jacuzzi with bar seating, a teak dining table for 12 on the bridge deck and a generous toy inventory round out the experience. With a shallow draft, she is well suited to the Bahamas and arrives with an active charter book.

SERENITY | 125' Westport | 2018
SERENITY is one of only nine 125-foot Westports built in Washington State, and she stands apart for her multi-million-dollar Holly Hunt interior. Floor-to-ceiling windows create an open flow from bow to stern, with Vladimir Kagan custom seating and a dining area at the heart of the salon.
Delivered as PEPPER XIII, she has never been chartered and shows exceptionally low hours at under 2,000. The main deck full-beam primary suite features his and her baths and walk-in closets, with three ensuite guest staterooms below and a gym that can convert to a fifth stateroom.
Comfort is a priority… two Seakeeper 35 gyros work alongside Naiad fins, and a beach club with a hydraulic sliding platform, a sundeck jacuzzi and a forward crane for jet skis make time on the water effortless. US-built and US-flagged with a 6’6″ draft, she is ready for the Bahamas.
At a glance: 329 GT | Twin MTU 16V2000 | Palm Beach | $17,900,000

NO SURRENDER | 110' Riva | 2020
For those who want Italian design and performance, NO SURRENDER delivers. The Riva 110 Dolcevita was styled by Officina Italiana Design, and her shark-grey ceramic-coated hull, large hull windows and glass salon ceiling give her a profile that turns heads in any marina.
She is fast, with a 23-knot cruise and 26-knot top speed from twin 2,638hp MTUs, and she is exceptionally well kept… stored full-time in an enclosed building with her ceramic coating reapplied annually. Five ensuite staterooms include a full-beam main deck owner’s suite, three queen VIP cabins and a twin with a Pullman.
The flybridge offers a bar, dining and a sunpad, while the beach club and hydraulic swim platform connect guests to a tender garage full of toys. ABT TRAC zero-speed stabilizers and dual Starlink keep everyone comfortable and connected.
