CHRISTENSEN
I LOVE THIS BOAT is a distinguished 145’ (44.2m) Christensen motor yacht, delivered in 2002 and comprehensively elevated through major refits in 2012, 2018, and 2023. Blending pedigree American yacht construction with a refined luxury lifestyle platform, she offers a compelling opportunity for an owner seeking proven performance, substantial recent investment, and immediate cruising or charter potential.
Her ownership profile is strengthened by extensive technical investment, including new NAIAD Zero Speed Stabilizers, MTU main engines installed in 2012, and further 2023 works comprising replacement of main engine injectors, limiting valves, and fuel lines with OEM parts. A significant AV modernization, valued at approximately $200,000, introduced a Crestron control system, new televisions, and a fully upgraded sound system, while a complete A/C system replacement, duct cleaning, new units, exterior cushions, and teak decking further enhance guest comfort and operational confidence.
The main salon presents an elegant and highly polished guest environment, with Crestron-controlled entertainment, Lutron “One Touch” lighting, and a sophisticated layout that connects relaxed lounging with formal dining for 10. A shell-etched glass panel and custom madrona wood columns create a striking design feature, complemented by etched glass, marquetry, fine fabrics, and stone accents. The country-French galley is equally well appointed, offering light granite countertops, premium equipment including a Miele coffee machine and Alto-Shaam smoker, and generous pantry, refrigeration, and freezer capacity for extended cruising or charter service.
Accommodation is arranged for 10 guests across five staterooms, supported by quarters for eight crew, positioning the yacht strongly for both private family use and luxury charter operations. The on-deck master suite delivers a commanding owner’s retreat with private office, king-size bed, vanity, sofa, and two walk-in closets with washer/dryer. Its en-suite bathroom features hand-chipped glass, fiber optic-lit granite counters, towel warmers, and a walk-in waterfall shower. Four additional guest cabins below deck comprise two queen staterooms aft and two twin staterooms forward, each with spacious en-suite bathrooms, marble detailing, adult-sized beds, silk panels, and high-gloss painted wood finishes.
Outdoor living is a major strength, with expansive entertainment areas designed for effortless hospitality on every deck. The sun deck includes a Jacuzzi for 10, Rum Runner machine, six-seat bar, large grill, and oversized sun pad forward of the bridge. The sky lounge offers a fully equipped bar, surround sound cinema with 50″ plasma TV, and a day head finished with etched glass and marble flooring. Aft, the covered deck provides alfresco dining for 10, while the beach club enhances the yacht’s lifestyle appeal with tender storage, two Sea-Doos, a water slide, sea scooters, and direct access to the water.
With a series of meaningful refits, charter-ready infrastructure, and a long list of capital improvements already completed, I LOVE THIS BOAT is positioned as a turnkey acquisition for an owner seeking scale, comfort, pedigree, and commercial flexibility without the delay or uncertainty of a major refit program.
In the 145’ market, she represents a persuasive value proposition: a pedigree Christensen build, a luxury guest experience, and ongoing technical upgrades that help reduce buyer risk while supporting immediate enjoyment, charter appeal, and future ownership confidence.
