Broker Overview

The 2007 Richmond 142 represents a significant opportunity in the large motor yacht sector. At 142 feet, this vessel offers substantial volume and a platform for luxurious cruising or entertainment. Built with a fiberglass hull, she provides a robust structure suitable for extended voyages. The twin Caterpillar C32 engines are a proven, reliable power choice, offering a balance of performance and efficiency for a yacht of this size. With five cabins, the Richmond 142 is well-suited for accommodating a large owner's party or charter guests, emphasizing privacy and comfort. While a 2007 build, the asking price of $9,900,000 in today's market positions her as a compelling value proposition for a buyer seeking a yacht of this caliber without the new-build premium. Her location in West Palm Beach, Florida, also suggests ease of access for surveys and potential refit work. The key for a prospective buyer will be a thorough assessment of her current condition, systems, and any refit history to understand the full scope of her readiness for immediate use or customization. This is a serious yacht for a serious buyer, offering considerable potential.

Expert Review

The Richmond 142, while not a production yacht in the same vein as some European builders, offers a solid platform for a large motor yacht. Build quality is generally robust, with a focus on interior volume and guest comfort. Sea-keeping for a vessel of this size is typically stable, though performance will be more focused on comfortable displacement cruising rather than high speed. The Caterpillar C32 engines are a workhorse in the industry, known for reliability and serviceability, which is a significant plus. For a 2007 yacht, a comprehensive survey is paramount; pay close attention to the condition of all major systems – HVAC, generators, stabilizers, and navigation electronics. Hull integrity, deck condition, and any signs of water intrusion should be meticulously checked. Compared to new builds, this vessel offers significant value, but be prepared for potential updates to aesthetics and systems to bring her to contemporary standards. Consider alternatives like older Feadships or even some larger Westport models for comparison, but the Richmond often presents a more accessible entry point for a yacht of this scale.
