Motor yacht Whisper IV sold

There probably won’t be a better time for anyone interested in the Performance Yachts range than to visit this year’s Monaco Yacht Show in September. Not only will rapidly growing Nicolle Associates, the Southampton UK based yacht brokers and charter management company, be presenting one of the shows undisputed stars of last year, the PY-100 Liara, but also there will be every other principal in the Performance Yachts team. <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/131912/image/large-21d46b6248b9e7651c781f51a7258152.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/129198">On board <a href="#managed-by-application" data-legacy="true" data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/2627">Liara</a> will be Directors from Performance Yachts and Southern Ocean Marine, the builders of the PY-100 and PY-109 and, exhibiting at the show in their own rights, will be Azzura Marine, builders of the PY-115 and PY-125, and Dixon Yacht Design, who are responsible for the design of the whole Performance Yachts range which currently spans 100 to 125 feet. <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/131913/image/large-225990065252d633a2b7f2da99169158.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/127259"> <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/131914/image/large-67406d57e221df2d0009a6c82cfde1b1.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/127260"> <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/131915/image/large-0f14bd0e4cbf0c630ef179886b690292.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/127261">Liara returns, and is up for up for sale, for all the right reasons. After only 18 months of ownership, during which time the yacht has distinguished herself in several races and regattas, and provided the owner and his family with extremely comfortable and fast cruising, he has decided that he wants to continue his Performance Yachts experience, but on a larger model from the growing Performance Yachts fleet. <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/131916/image/large-c569761d3dfe8199a54e20d8e31fee05.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/127271">Liara’s owner says, "This yacht has been everything I wanted and more. She is competitive racing, obviously fast when cruising and a superb live aboard yacht. Her build quality has proved to be very much more than the ‘skin deep’ first impression that is all some yachts manage to exude, and after 18 months she is as good as new. The only downside is that for my personal circumstances I would like to have a slightly larger yacht but, I shall be using exactly the same team at the designers, the builders and Performance Yachts to design and build her". <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/131917/image/large-c3c7c9c83d43dd81d8db813bdf780577.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/127255">Nicolle Associates, apart from their sales responsibilities, can also arrange charters on Liara, which has already been successfully chartered on a number of occasions in the Caribbean and Mediterranean, with excellent comments being made by guests on board.
