Miss Michelle

Miss Michelle is barely two years from her 2024 delivery date, and she reaches the market fitted out rather than run down: low hours on her twin Caterpillar engines, current warranty cover and a fully specified navigation and connectivity suite. Horizon built her to the RP122 specification, and she lies today in Fort Lauderdale.

Build and provenance

Horizon built Miss Michelle as a 37-metre, 112-foot motor yacht on a monohull, using the yard's resin-infusion construction method for a lighter, stiffer hull. At 264 gross tonnes she carries real interior volume, and the semi-displacement hull form beneath her is built to cover distance efficiently rather than trade everything for outright speed.

Layout and accommodation

Eight guests sleep across four cabins, including a full-beam suite on the main deck and a second master one deck down, an arrangement that gives two cabins owner-level space instead of a single primary suite carrying the whole job. A crew of five run the boat from their own quarters.

Performance and engineering

Her twin 2,400 hp Caterpillar C32B engines deliver 12 knots cruising and 20 knots maximum, with a 2,000-nautical-mile range that puts long coastal runs within reach rather than just day trips. Stabilisers work both at anchor and underway, and bow and stern thrusters make close-quarters handling straightforward for a boat this size. Fuel capacity runs to 7,550 gallons, enough to make that range figure meaningful rather than theoretical.

On deck and at anchor

On deck, a beach club with a wet bar and a fold-out platform brings the water within easy reach, a jacuzzi sits forward with seating and a table around it, and sunpads and a barbecue fill the spaces in between. A tender garage keeps the toys out of sight until they're needed, and WiFi covers the boat throughout.

Where she lies and how to see her

Miss Michelle lies in Fort Lauderdale, USA. Boatcrowd sets up every viewing and is there for it, and a survey and sea trial follow once an offer is accepted, arranged with her crew. She also charters through Boatcrowd across the Bahamas, Turks and Caicos and the USA, so a buyer can spend a week aboard before deciding, without rates.
