Welcome news overnight from Northrop & Johnson that Philip Bell has found a buyer for the 28 metre motor yacht Endless Summer, listed for sale by Neal Esterly and Eric Pearson at Fraser Yachts.
Built in GRP by Taiwanese yard Paragon Motor Yachts for an experienced owner, Endless Summer was delivered in 2006 and was judged ‘Best in Show’ at the San Diego Yachtfest in 2007. Accommodation in a teak interior with raised paneling is for up to eight guests in three staterooms. These consist of a full beam master suite, a full beam VIP stateroom with a Pullman berth and a further double cabin forward, again with a Pullman berth, and all staterooms have en suite facilities.
The hard-cover flybridge with helm controls has a gas barbecue, raised Jacuzzi spa tub and ample seating for al fresco entertaining and dining. Powerful 1,550hp Caterpillar engines give her a cruising speed of 15 knots and an extensive range of 2,000 nautical miles.
Lying in Newport Beach, California, Endless Summer was asking $2,590,000.
