The Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show is where the world’s largest fleet of luxury yachts comes together, and this year, Northrop & Johnson will be front and center with an exceptional lineup of yachts for sale on display, around the show, and in the Fort Lauderdale area. As one of the show’s largest in-water exhibitors, we’re proud to welcome clients to our sleek FLIBS 2025 lounge; the ultimate destination for meetings, consultations, and viewings. To capture what makes each yacht worth viewing, we’ve asked our brokers to share their insights and firsthand perspectives.
IMPROMPTU | 164’ (50m) Trinity | $23,950,000
Represented by Northrop & Johnson’s Kevin Merrigan and Kristen Klein, this 2011 custom yacht has been fully refit and maintained to perfection, offering the comfort and polish of a modern 50-meter.
“IMPROMPTU was built for the entertainer at sea — a yacht where every deck invites conversation, celebration, and connection,” Kevin says. “From her waterfall Jacuzzi to her elegant split-level master suite, she’s the perfect platform for families or friends who love to host in five-star comfort.”
Six spacious staterooms accommodate 12 guests, highlighted by the split-level master with panoramic views and a private lounge. Multiple alfresco dining spaces and her signature waterfall Jacuzzi make every deck an invitation to relax and celebrate.
VALINOR | 164’ (50m) Westport | $27,500,000
The 164’ (50m) Westport VALINOR embodies American craftsmanship and adventure. Represented by Northrop & Johnson’s Wes Sanford, this W164 is, as he puts it, “totally turnkey and ready for the world’s cruising grounds,” following her recent ABS 10-year survey.
“My favorite feature on VALINOR is the fantastic master stateroom configuration,” Wes shares. “It gives the Owner the best location on the upper bridge deck. By relocating the captain to the main deck forward, Westport added additional space to this master stateroom, creating a spacious oasis with amazing views and an outdoor balcony.” Complete with a steam shower and private terrace, the suite reflects the thoughtful design that defines VALINOR.
Wes continues, “She’s unique for her combination of draft, speed, and range. She’s perfect for exploring shallower cruising grounds like The Bahamas, but equally capable of venturing farther afield—as she’s recently done in the South Pacific. She’s also helicopter capable for the adventurous owner.”
NO BAD IDEAS | 160’ (48.77m) Trinity | $21,900,000
There’s a reason NO BAD IDEAS has become one of the most talked about Trinity yachts of her generation. Following a $20 million, two-year refit completed in 2024, the 160’ (48.77m) motor yacht has been completely transformed.
“What I love most about NO BAD IDEAS,” yacht broker Alex Rogers begins, “is how she perfectly bridges classic Trinity craftsmanship with an entirely modern personality. You immediately feel the scale and presence of a 160-footer, yet everything about her refit is fresh, smart, and purpose-driven, from the extended swim platform to the elegant flow between decks. Guests often don’t realize just how extensively she’s been modernized until you point out the custom work behind those seamless finishes.”
Built for an active, social lifestyle, NO BAD IDEAS suits owners who love to entertain without compromise. “She’s ideal for families or groups who want the best of both worlds,” Alex explains. “There are spaces to gather — the sundeck, the bridge deck aft — but also quiet corners like the on-deck master suite where you can just unwind.”
EIV | 160’ (48.8m) Rossinavi | $32,750,000
EIV, the 160’ (48.8m) Rossinavi motor yacht, is Italian sophistication personified. Represented by Northrop & Johnson’s Sean Doyle, Mike Finnegan, and Wes Sanford, she’s a yacht built for modern living, designed for owners who crave both wellness and adventure at sea.
“I love the beach club on EIV,” Sean shares. “It has a fantastic hammam and ice plunge, a perfect combination for a healthy lifestyle. The other standout is the massive custom wine storage in the master, which makes that spa area an absolute must-have.” That spa-like beach club, with its marble detailing, aromatherapy steam room, and 56°F plunge pool, sets the tone for EIV’s commitment to comfort and rejuvenation.
Her shallow 7’6” draft makes her ideal for The Bahamas, while her design and amenities are perfectly suited for dual-season cruising. “She’s perfect for a busy two-season owner,” Sean shares. “Great for charter, with tons of amenities — including three pools — so she’s ideal for the Med and the Caribbean alike.”
FOCUS | 153’ (46.63m) North American Shipbuilding | $9,999,000
Built by North American Shipbuilding and designed by Luiz De Basto, FOCUS embodies the kind of quality and craftsmanship that never goes out of style. Represented by Northrop & Johnson’s Mike Finnegan, Sean Doyle, and Wes Sanford, FOCUS has been continuously enhanced through a meticulous refit program from 2023 through 2025, keeping her in peak condition and ready for a new era of adventure.
“What truly makes FOCUS stand out is her blend of timeless exterior design with classic nautical tones, complemented by a Ralph Lauren-inspired interior,” Mike says. “One detail guests might not immediately notice is the yacht’s incredible volume; it’s something that always impresses once onboard.”
For Mike, FOCUS is the perfect yacht for an owner who sees yachting as a lifelong pursuit. “She’s ideal for a client thinking long-term — someone who wants a versatile yacht ready for extensive cruising,” he explains. “With features like an elevator servicing all decks, a lift from dock level to the main deck, and a partially enclosed sundeck for all-weather enjoyment, she’s truly suited for owners who want all the comforts and accessibility to ensure a lifetime of cruising can become a reality.”
That sundeck — or observatory deck, as Mike calls it — is one of FOCUS’ defining spaces. “It’s a truly unique feature that offers stunning views at the height of a sundeck while still providing protection from the elements,” he says. “It’s a versatile space that can be enjoyed in any season.”
I LOVE THIS BOAT | 145’ (44.2m) Christensen | $8,900,000
The 145’ (44.2m) Christensen I LOVE THIS BOAT blends pedigree craftsmanship with modern upgrades. Represented by Northrop & Johnson’s John Slate, she’s undergone major refits in 2012, 2018, and 2023, keeping her in exceptional, turnkey condition.
Equipped with new NAIAD Zero Speed Stabilizers, upgraded MTU engines, and refined AV and mechanical systems, she’s engineered for comfort and reliability. “She accommodates 10 guests in five staterooms, including an on-deck master with a private office,” John says. “Her high-gloss finishes, etched glass details, and custom furnishings make her both elegant and welcoming.”
Multiple dining and lounge areas, a Jacuzzi sundeck, and a beach club-style swim platform with water toys make I LOVE THIS BOAT ideal for entertaining or charter. “With her proven hull and ongoing upgrades, she offers tremendous value in the 145-foot range,” John adds.
CALLIOPE | 143’ (43.28m) Richmond Yachts | $11,500,000
Built by Richmond Yachts and represented by Northrop & Johnson’s Wes Sanford, CALLIOPE is designed for those who want a vessel that can truly go the distance. With a recent 2022 refit, including a new bulbous bow for improved efficiency, CALLIOPE is in exceptional condition and ready to cruise anywhere.
“CALLIOPE will catch the eye of a discerning buyer for her incredible space, condition, and price,” Wes says. “Her owner keeps her in impeccable condition, and it’s hard to believe that the Richmond Shipyard could fit so much into only 143 feet.” That sense of volume defines her interior, where mahogany veneers, burl inlays, and large panoramic windows create an atmosphere of warmth and light. Wes highlights several standout features that set her apart in her class. “The Owner’s stateroom, skylounge, and Captain’s stateroom are exceptional for any yacht in this size range,” he explains. Performance is where CALLIOPE’s practicality shines. “Make note of the fact that she has a bulbous bow, which helps with stability and fuel consumption for those long trips such as the South Pacific, which was done a few years back,” Wes adds.
“She’ll make a great family cruiser or charter boat,” Wes concludes. “There’s no better value in this size range.”
MISS MICHELLE | 122’ (37.2m) Horizon | $16,950,000
MISS MICHELLE redefines what’s possible in a Horizon RP series yacht. Delivered in 2025 and represented by Northrop & Johnson’s Kevin Merrigan, she’s a fully customized tri-deck motor yacht that blends craftsmanship, performance, and comfort in perfect harmony.
“MISS MICHELLE was conceived for owners who demand more than a standard build,” Kevin says. “Custom interiors, upgraded systems, and twin full-beam master staterooms elevate her far beyond Horizon’s already impressive pedigree. She’s the ultimate family-cruising yacht, designed to entertain effortlessly from her panoramic sundeck to her bespoke beach club with fold-out terrace.”
On deck, she’s all about connection and fun. The flybridge features a light-up bar, grill, and dining for eight, while the foredeck’s Nordic Warrior Jacuzzi and fold-out beach club create private retreats at sea.
“Once aboard, you’ll see how a fully customized Horizon feels,” Kevin adds. “From her handcrafted finishes to upgraded stabilization, every detail exceeds the standard.”
Combining the soul of a custom build with Horizon’s renowned engineering, MISS MICHELLE is a standout for those seeking a yacht that’s every bit as personal as it is powerful.
REHAB | 108’ (33m) Benetti | $6,950,000
Represented by Northrop & Johnson’s Kristen Klein, this 2015 tri-deck Benetti has recently completed an extensive 2024/2025 refit that’s elevated her into a class of her own, technically, mechanically, and aesthetically. With her sleek Stefano Righini lines and newly reimagined spaces, REHAB blends fun, functionality, and five-star comfort in equal measure.
“What I love most about REHAB is that she delivers the volume, presence, and amenities of a much larger yacht — all in a highly manageable 108-foot package,” Kristen shares. “She’s a spectacular example of how thoughtful design and significant investment can elevate a yacht well beyond expectations.”
Kristen describes REHAB as the ideal yacht for an owner who values flexibility. “She’s perfect for someone who wants to enjoy extended family cruising, elegant entertaining, or even offset ownership costs with charter,” she explains. “With five beautifully updated staterooms for 10 guests, a refreshed modern interior, zero-speed stabilizers, and extensive recent mechanical upgrades, she’s truly turnkey.”
If there’s one space that defines REHAB’s appeal, it’s the newly redesigned sundeck. “It’s a private oasis at sea,” Kristen says. “There’s a Jacuzzi, bar, pool table, diving board — even colorful evening lighting that transforms the atmosphere entirely. It’s where guests naturally gravitate, from relaxed afternoons to lively nights under the stars.”
And for those visiting during FLIBS, Kristen has one must-see recommendation. “Don’t miss the main deck master suite,” she says. “It’s one of the most impressive spaces onboard — full of light, volume, and thoughtful details. It’s the perfect showcase of what REHAB does best: offering superyacht luxury in a size and style that feels effortless.”
SURPLUS LINES | 91’ (27.74m) Hatteras | $6,199,000
Represented by Northrop & Johnson’s Alex Rogers, this 2019 Hatteras M90 Panacera has received over $2 million in custom upgrades, making her one of the most impressive yachts in her class.
“What stands out to me about SURPLUS LINES,” Alex begins, “is how she combines performance and luxury so effortlessly. She’s powerful, sleek, and incredibly well-finished — a true modern Hatteras.”
Guests immediately feel her sophistication when stepping into the main salon. “Everyone is always surprised by the fold-down balcony off the salon,” Alex says. “It transforms the space and gives that seamless indoor-outdoor feel that everyone falls in love with.”

Whether you’re enjoying sunset cocktails or watching the horizon at speed, it perfectly captures what SURPLUS LINES is all about.”
BELLISSIMA | 88’ (26.84m) Riva | $3,500,000
The 88’ (26.84m) BELLISSIMA is Italian performance at its finest. Represented by Northrop & Johnson’s Mike Finnegan and Sean Doyle, this Riva 88’ Florida delivers the best of both worlds: open-air exhilaration and coupe-style comfort, thanks to her ingenious Pentagraph hardtop system that transforms her configuration at the push of a button.
“BELLISSIMA offers modern Italian styling with an open concept that transforms to a covered coupe arrangement,” Mike says. “This, coupled with her impressive speed of up to 40 knots, is sure to impress.” Designed by Mauro Micheli and Sergio Beretta of Officina Italiana Design, she blends Riva’s signature refinement with performance.
“Riva designed the 88 Florida for the shallow waters of the Keys and The Bahamas alike,” Mike explains. “It’s the perfect package for a Florida-based client who wants to cruise quickly and comfortably for weekend getaways year-round.” With a 6-foot draft, dual Seakeeper stabilizers, and a 34-knot cruising speed, she’s designed for both thrill and ease.
For FLIBS visitors, Mike has one must-see feature: “Check out the Pentagraph system — it’s a brilliant piece of engineering that lets her shift from open-air to enclosed coupe in seconds.”

“REMY ROO is a stunning Westport 112 offered in turnkey condition, with low engine and generator hours, and the highest level of custom book-matched woodwork in a 112,” Bruce says. “All systems have been serviced or upgraded in recent months — including new teak decks just installed on the boat deck.” From upgraded Zero Speed Stabilizers with larger fins to Starlink internet and a full Crestron AV system, REMY ROO feels as fresh as a new launch.
“She’s seriously offered for sale by her owner, who’s ready to move up to a larger yacht,” Bruce adds. “She’s a must-see in person.” For anyone seeking a pedigreed, U.S.-built yacht blending classic Westport styling with modern upgrades, REMY ROO is an exceptional opportunity.

“What stands out to me,” John says, “is the full-beam master suite — it’s expansive, elegant, and feels like its own private retreat. A detail guests might miss at first glance is the spiral staircase under the skylight — it draws your eyes upward and connects all decks beautifully, adding a moment of daily wow.”
