Yachts for Sale with Northrop & Johnson

SIMENA | 203′ (62m) Ares Yachts | Asking €45,900,000 | New Build Hub

The 203’ (62m) Ares superyacht SIMENA is a brand-new luxury performance cruising ketch, blending traditional sailing charm with cutting-edge technology. Designed by Tanju Kalaycıoğlu of Taka Yacht Design with interiors by Design Unlimited, she delivers transatlantic range even without sails, cruising at 11 knots with a top speed of 14.5 knots. Built with a composite (carbon and GRP) superstructure and engineered to RINA unrestricted class with Cayman commercial capability, she is positioned for both private global cruising and high-end charter use. With accommodations for 12 guests and up to 9 crew, including a full-beam forward master suite with private lounge and dressing area, SIMENA sets a new benchmark in the modern sailing superyacht category.

“SIMENA’s classic lines disguise one of her greatest features, and her parallel hybrid system,” says Broker Sean McCarter. “She can combine one MAN diesel engine, three Caterpillar generators and a 220kW electric drive, giving multiple modes of operation and incredible efficiency. My favorite is that while sailing above 5 knots, you can turn off all diesel engines and use the prop to regenerate electricity — essentially giving you infinite range with enough wind.” He adds, “She’s perfect for a family looking to cruise the world in luxury, style, and safety, but equally suited for charter thanks to her commercial capability.” For Palma, Sean highlights the experience onboard: “At 62 meters, there are so many standout spaces, but the flybridge sunpads, aft deck Jacuzzi, and especially the master stateroom always get the same reaction — ‘Wow.’”

ACALI | 91′ (28.04m) Wider | Asking €9,500,000 | Palma Superyacht Village

The 28m WiderCat 92 ACALI is a 2024 multihull from Wider Yachts, representing the shipyard’s first venture into catamaran design. With an impressive 12-meter (just under 40-foot) beam, she offers exceptional volume across her platform, including a full-beam owner’s suite on the main deck with private terrace access, and accommodations for eight guests across four cabins. Built under RINA class and delivered with full shipyard warranty, she features a hybrid propulsion system, 170 square meters of integrated solar panels, and a large battery bank enabling silent, vibration-free operation at anchor or underway. Her 67-square-meter beach club with fold-down bulwarks, drop-down balcony VIP cabins, and expansive bridge deck with bar and lounge positions her as one of the most innovative yachts in her class.

“ACALI stands out immediately for her volume and forward-thinking design; she offers a completely different onboard experience compared to traditional monohulls,” says her broker Gabriele Modica Ragusa. “The main deck owner’s suite with private terrace, the beach club with opening balconies, and the connection to the water throughout the yacht are truly unique.” He adds, “Her hybrid system and solar integration allow for quiet, efficient cruising, which is becoming increasingly important for modern owners. If you step aboard in Palma, the standout moment is the transition from the main salon out to the exterior spaces…it’s seamless, open, and designed for how people actually want to live on the water today.”

KARIBU | 88′ (27m) Oyster Yachts | Asking €5,100,000 | Palma Superyacht Village

The Oyster 885 KARIBU is a 2013-built bluewater sailing yacht designed by Rob Humphreys, combining performance sailing with a modern, charter-ready layout. Following an extensive €2M+ refit completed in 2022, she presents in immaculate condition, with upgrades including a new Future Fibres EC6 carbon rig, freshly painted Teale Blue hull, redesigned interior by Design Unlimited, and upgraded AV and IT systems. Accommodating eight guests across four cabins, including a full-beam aft master with signature triple Seascape windows, she is commercially compliant under MCA Cat 2 with a proven charter record in both the Mediterranean and Caribbean.

“KARIBU is a standout example of the Oyster 885 series, particularly given the level of investment in her recent refit,” says Broker Ed Dickinson. “She’s in the final stages of an extensive shipyard period and arrives in Palma in exceptional condition, ready for the season ahead.” He adds, “What makes her especially appealing is the balance between performance and onboard comfort…from her split cockpit layout and foredeck lounge to the contemporary interior redesign.”

FRIDA | 70′ (21.4m) X-Yachts | Asking €1,100,000 | Palma Superyacht Village

The custom-built sailing yacht FRIDA, constructed by Green Marine in the UK and project-managed by X-Yachts Denmark, represents a high-performance cruising platform with serious pedigree. Built with a carbon hull and deck, carbon composite bulkheads, and advanced structural engineering, she delivers both strength and speed, supported by a Hall Spars carbon mast, carbon furling boom, and high-performance sail inventory. Designed for owner enjoyment, she accommodates six guests across three cabins, including a full-beam aft master suite with en-suite, and benefits from €400K in upgrades between 2021–2023, including full teak reconditioning, new B&G electronics, and a complete North Sails service in 2024.

“FRIDA is a true performance cruiser with pedigree. She was built by Green Marine, the same yard behind some of the most advanced Volvo Ocean Race yachts,” says Broker Sean McCarter. “What makes her stand out is the combination of carbon construction, top-tier rigging, and a layout that still feels comfortable and refined for extended cruising.” Broker Elizabeth Swain adds, “Her deck layout is clean, intuitive, and built for sailing, while the interior brings a completely different tone. It’s warm teak finishes, thoughtful design, and a space that feels relaxed and inviting after a day under sail.” She continues, “If you step aboard in Palma, you immediately see how well-balanced she is. FRIDA is a yacht that performs at a high level but still feels like somewhere you want to spend time relaxing with guests.”
