SEA CLASS is now available to explore on video. Denison superyacht broker Kurt Bosshardt has released a full walkthrough of this 155-foot Christensen, offering buyers a detailed look at one of the more compelling value propositions in the current superyacht market: a well-maintained tri-deck with an established charter track record, asking $10,900,000, currently based in St. Thomas, US Virgin Islands.
Built in 1997 with exterior design by Donald Starkey and a contemporary interior by Glade Johnson Design, SEA CLASS has been substantially and consistently updated. A comprehensive refit in 2018 addressed mechanical systems, stabilizers, interior furnishings, and deck equipment. Subsequent work in 2022 and 2023 included full paint and a new interior, and in 2024 the main engines received a complete factory rebuild, with only 250 hours on the hobbs meter since. She carries twin Deutz 604BV12 engines producing 2,200 hp each, zero speed stabilizers, and a cruising range of 3,500 nautical miles at 12 knots, with a top speed of 16 knots. Her shallow draft and sub-500 GT tonnage keep a wide range of anchorages and ports accessible.
The walkthrough covers the full yacht: the open aft deck with alfresco dining for 12, the main salon and formal dining room, a well-equipped galley with Sub-Zero and Viking appliances, the full-beam on-deck master suite with his-and-hers bathrooms, four lower guest staterooms with convertible king/twin configurations, a main deck bonus cabin suited for staff or children, a skylounge with a granite bar and Crestron-controlled AV throughout, the shaded bridge deck aft exterior, and an exceptionally large sundeck featuring a 10-person Jacuzzi, four jet skis, a 27-foot FunAir slide, a swim pool, and a strengthened aft section capable of accommodating a helicopter.
For buyers looking at SEA CLASS as an investment as much as a vessel, the charter angle is hard to ignore. She sleeps 12 guests across 6 staterooms and 10 crew across 5 cabins, carries the toys and amenities that drive charter bookings, and has the operating history to back it up. She measures just under 500 GT, which broadens her chartering options across multiple flag and regulatory frameworks.

Three of the four lower guest cabins have convertible king-to-twin berths. A bonus cabin on the main deck is suited for a caregiver or children. The crew quarters consist of 5 cabins accommodating up to 10 crew, each with ensuite bathrooms.
SEA CLASS has undergone comprehensive refits in 2018, 2022, and 2024. The 2018 refit included Naiad zero-speed stabilizer installation, ABS-approved fiberglass hull strengthening, and a full interior upgrade. A new interior with updated fabrics, flooring, and furniture was completed in 2023, along with a redesigned master bathroom. The 2024 refit consisted of a complete factory rebuild of both main engines.
Yes. SEA CLASS has an active and well-established charter program and is considered one of the more successful charter yachts in the global fleet at her size. Her layout, range of amenities, and water toy inventory make her a strong candidate for buyers seeking a yacht with income-generating potential. Charter income history can be discussed with the listing broker.
SEA CLASS carries four Sea-Doo jet skis, a FunAir 27-foot water slide, a FunAir 30-foot inflatable sea pool, and a 15-foot RIB jet tender. The aft tender deck has been structurally reinforced to accommodate helicopter landings. An Atlas davit on the bow handles jet ski storage.
The exterior of SEA CLASS was designed by Donald Starkey. The interior is the work of Glade Johnson Design. The yacht was built by Christensen Shipyards and delivered in 1997.
