NORTH AMERICAN SHIPBUILDING
FOCUS: A Yacht Redefined
Introducing FOCUS, a stunning 153’ (46.6m) North American Shipbuilding yacht delivered in 2002, now revitalized with extensive upgrades completed between 2023 and 2025. Designed by Luiz De Basto and constructed entirely of aluminum with elegant teak decks, FOCUS is built for those who crave performance and luxury.
Her semi-displacement hull guarantees exceptional seakeeping and efficiency, powered by twin Caterpillar 3512B engines that each produce 2,250hp at 1925rpm. This beauty glides comfortably at 13 knots, reaches a peak speed of 18 knots, and boasts an impressive range of 5,000 nautical miles at cruising speed.
With ABS classification and MCA compliance, FOCUS is the epitome of reliability and opulence. Enjoy effortless movement across all decks thanks to the full-service elevator. Plus, Quantum Zero-Speed stabilizers ensure a smooth and steady ride, whether you’re at sea or anchored.
Step inside to discover timeless elegance, featuring an interior designed by Ralph Lauren Home, adorned with rich African Makore mahogany and Tuscan marble. FOCUS accommodates up to 10 guests across five luxurious staterooms. The master suite, located on the upper deck, offers unparalleled privacy and breathtaking views. Below, guest accommodations include:
