Meet the Focus: An Icon of Seafaring Grandeur Finds a Distinguished New Owner
The purchase of the 46.6-metre marvel, the Focus, showcases a monumental triumph in the world of aquatic vessels. Known for its robust, cutting-edge motorboats and yachts, North American Yachts produced another masterstroke in seafaring technology and luxury. The all-aluminium Focus motor yacht sets the course for unmatched elegance and functionality.
In a sale facilitated by industry powerhouses Northrop & Johnson’s Sean Doyle, Mike Finnegan, and Wes Sanford and Superyacht Sales and Charter’s Neil Emmott, the exquisite vessel has found a new connoisseur to carry forward its legacy. The buyer, introduced by Burgess’s Charles Jones, will now set sail on this beacon of design and functionality.
The Focus was meticulously designed to accommodate ten guests luxuriously. An upper-deck master suite offers bewitching elevated views, optimising the yacht’s design. The remaining four cabins, a combination of queen and twin configurations, provide equally impressive vistas through their lower deck location. Each cabin comes equipped with its own ensuite, culminating in a hotel-like experience. And to host its ten-member crew, provisions have been thoughtfully made across the yacht.
The captivating narrative of luxury continues with the yacht’s expansive partially enclosed sundeck. The forward section elegantly gifts occupants with a climate-controlled observation lounge offering 270-degree panoramic views. From hosting a bountiful Jacuzzi to a welcoming expanse for lounge seating, Focus is queen of outdoor living. Further enhancing the atmosphere, the aft deck acts as a perfect setting for dining under the stars.
Undergoing an extensive series of technical and cosmetic upgrades between 2023 and 2025, the Focus surely stands as a trendsetter in the world of long-range explorer vessels. With a 5,000-nautical-mile transoceanic range and hitting a top speed of 18 knots, Focus sails headfirst into the future of marine adventuring. And for those who have the privilege to step on board, it promises all the excitement of conquests on the high seas with a comfort akin to home.
