There probably won’t be a better time for anyone interested in the Performance Yachts range than to visit this year’s Monaco Yacht Show in September. Not only will rapidly growing Nicolle Associates, the Southampton UK based yacht brokers and charter management company, be presenting one of the shows undisputed stars of last year, the  PY-100 ‘Liara’, but also there will be every other principal in the Performance Yachts team.

Performance Yachts 100 'Liara' is for sale through Nicolle Associates

On board ‘Liara’ will be Adrian Nicolle and John Danby from Performance Yachts, Directors and yard manager from Southern Ocean Marine, the builders of the PY-100 and PY-109 and, exhibiting at the show in their own rights, will be Azzura Marine, builders of the PY-115 and PY-125, and Dixon Yacht Design, who are responsible for the design of the whole Performance Yachts range which currently spans 100 to 125 feet.

‘Liara’ returns, and is up for sale, for all the right reasons. After only 18 months of ownership, during which time the yacht has distinguished herself in several races and regattas, and provided the owner and his family with extremely comfortable and fast cruising, he has decided that he wants to continue his Performance Yachts experience, but on a larger model from the growing Performance Yachts fleet.

‘Liara’s owner says, ‘This yacht has been everything I wanted and more. She is competitive racing, obviously fast when cruising and a superb live aboard yacht. Her build quality has proved to be very much more than the ‘skin deep’ first impression that is all some yachts manage to exude, and after 18 months she is as good as new. The only downside is that for my personal circumstances I would like to have a slightly larger yacht but, I shall be using exactly the same team at the designers, the builders and Performance Yachts to design and build her’.

Nicolle Associates, apart from their sales responsibilities, can also arrange charters on ‘Liara’, which has already been successfully chartered on a number of occasions in the Caribbean and Mediterranean, with excellent comments being made by guests on board.

Potential purchasers or charterers of ‘Liara’ can get more information from Adrian Nicolle on +44 (0) 23 8045 6348 or on the findaboat website at,  PY-100 ‘Liara’ for sale link or, of course, at the Monaco Show.
