After just two months on the market, the 33.83-metre yacht Independence 3 has been sold. Negotiations were headed by John Slate of Northrop & Johnson who represented the seller and Raymond Young of RJC Yacht Sales & Charter who brought the buyer.
Independence 3 was delivered in 1997 by Florida-based shipbuilder, Broward Marine, and has since been regularly maintained, including an extensive refit in 2017. Her refit was supervised by Patrick Knowles Designs, who also penned her original interiors. Independence 3’s exterior styling and naval architecture was completed in-house by her builder, Broward Marine.
The yacht accommodates as many as 12 guests across four staterooms, including a spacious full-beam master suite situated on the main deck forward. The owner's accommodation is finished with his-and-hers ensuite bathrooms. The remaining accommodation comprises a VIP, and two twin staterooms each with two Pullmans.
Her main saloon has been designed to provide plenty of space for relaxation across her comfortable seating areas and adjacent formal dining and bar area.
Additional socialising space is available on deck on her flybridge which features ample seating, plenty of sunpad space for sunbathing, an alfresco dining area and a bar.
Performance-wise, Independence 3 sports twin Caterpillar 3412 diesel engines which propel her to a top speed of 21 knots and a cruising speed of 17 knots with a range of 3,000 nautical miles.
