PRELIMINARY LISTING IN PROGRESS SUBJECT TO CHANGE  

Opulence Meets Adventure

MISSING LINK is a luxurious motor yacht designed for ultimate comfort and performance on the water. She was the first Custom 43M Series project by yacht builder Christensen Shipyard in 2015, built out of the 50m hull mold.

Her overall length of 142 feet (43m), offering 4,520 of interior square feet, provides ample space for entertaining guests and enjoying extended cruising journeys. The interior, designed by award winning designer Carol Williamson & Associates, features walnut cabinetry with a satin finish, dark high-gloss furniture, and stone inlay floors with black walnut wood flooring. Notable within the design is the use of space and large windows, bringing natural light into the interior and showing off the dark gloss to its full effect.  Each space is meticulously designed with luxurious materials and sophisticated decor, offering unparalleled comfort and elegance to all on board with a timeless interior and styling.

Externally, MISSING LINK offers plenty of opportunities for entertaining and basking in the sun, together with generous room designated for a touch-and-go helipad and excellent capacity for tenders and water toys. The sun deck is fitted with a full height bar, Spa Pool tub, day head and lavish lounge areas. The bridge aft deck provides a large dining table for al fresco dining with drop-down air conditioning to take in the views. Also, having an elevator to all 4 decks and a large volume at 480GT makes this a very unique opportunity. Having a touch and go helipad offers an entire new level of yacht access.

Tranquility on the Water

MISSING LINK can comfortably accommodate 12 guests in the five gracious staterooms, each with an En Suite bathroom adorned with custom finishes. It features a main deck Owner’s Suite, two VIP staterooms, two forward convertible guest cabins, and an elevator connecting all decks. She can also accommodate 8 crew members, including the ship’s captain, with 3 bunk cabins sleeping 6, and a Captain’s double cabin.   

The yacht’s exterior styling reflects the classic Custom Series image with a raised forward full shear bulwark and vertical pilothouse windows.  The yacht’s semi-displacement hull and massive beam of just under 30 feet, provides exceptional seakeeping with a bulbous bow and entry for long range smooth cruising.
