43m Richmond LUCY Sold with Fraser Representing Buyer

Fraser has announced the sale of the 43-metre Richmond Yachts motor yacht LUCY, with Trevor Carroll of Fraser Yachts Florida representing the buyer in the transaction. The brokerage confirmed the sale on 4 September 2026 but did not disclose the transaction price or identify the buyer.

LUCY is a composite-hulled yacht of 397 GT with accommodation for up to 12 guests across six staterooms. Fraser’s sale announcement highlights a full-beam owner’s stateroom with a private office, a VIP stateroom positioned on the bridge deck and a sky lounge arranged as a substantial social space.

The transaction adds another completed sale to the September brokerage market without relying on an asking-price headline. In this case, the public information released by Fraser focuses instead on LUCY’s volume, accommodation plan and the buyer-side representation that brought the deal to completion.

Fraser confirms the sale of 43m LUCY

The core fact in the announcement is straightforward: LUCY has changed hands. Fraser identifies Richmond Yachts as the builder, gives the yacht’s length as 43 metres or 142 feet, and confirms that Carroll represented the acquiring client from the brokerage’s Florida operation.

No final sale price was published, and Fraser’s announcement does not state the last asking price used in the transaction. That distinction matters because an undisclosed sale should not be treated as evidence of a particular market value, discount or premium without a confirmed figure from a party to the deal.

Fraser also does not name the seller’s representative in the announcement. The information that can be stated with confidence is therefore limited to the completed sale, the yacht’s principal characteristics and the fact that Fraser acted for the buyer, rather than assumptions about the other side of the transaction.

397 GT gives LUCY substantial volume at 43 metres

At 397 GT, LUCY carries significant internal volume within a 43-metre overall length. Gross tonnage is a measure of enclosed internal volume rather than weight, so the figure is useful when considering how much accommodation and social space a yacht can provide within a given length.

Fraser pairs that 397 GT figure with a six-stateroom arrangement for as many as 12 guests. The combination suggests that the yacht’s layout places a strong emphasis on accommodation capacity and usable interior space, rather than relying solely on length as the measure of what is available on board.

The brokerage specifically highlights the owner’s stateroom as full beam and equipped with a private office. A dedicated office gives the principal cabin an additional functional area, while the full-beam arrangement uses the yacht’s width to create a larger private space for the owner.

LUCY’s VIP stateroom is located on the bridge deck, separating it from the accommodation pattern found on many yachts where most guest cabins are concentrated lower in the vessel. Fraser does not publish a complete deck-by-deck cabin plan in the sale notice, so the remaining stateroom positions should not be inferred from the announcement.

The sky lounge is a central social feature

Fraser identifies the sky lounge as one of LUCY’s principal entertaining spaces. The room includes a full bar, generous lounging areas and a card table, creating a setting that can support several different forms of guest use without requiring the space to serve only one purpose.

That arrangement is consistent with the brokerage’s description of LUCY as offering comfort and versatility for extended periods on board. A separate upper-level social room can give guests another interior option away from the main saloon, while the bar and card table add defined activity areas within the same space.

The sale announcement does not provide a full inventory of exterior amenities, tenders, machinery or performance data. Rather than supplementing those omissions with unverified specifications, the confirmed picture is of a 43-metre composite yacht whose publicly highlighted strengths are internal volume, six-cabin accommodation and substantial social areas.

What Fraser disclosed about the transaction

Trevor Carroll’s role is the only brokerage representation specifically identified in Fraser’s announcement. The company states that the Florida-based broker represented the buyer, establishing which side of the transaction Fraser handled and avoiding the ambiguity that can arise when a sale notice simply says a brokerage was “involved”.

The identity of the buyer remains private, as does the financial consideration. Fraser’s public notice offers no basis for estimating either the negotiated sale price or the terms of the acquisition, and Superyacht Guide is therefore not assigning an unverified value to the transaction.

The same approach applies to details not contained in the announcement, including the yacht’s build year, engine package, range and recent refit history. Those characteristics may exist in historical listings or third-party databases, but they are not necessary to report the confirmed September sale and are not being treated as current facts without a primary-source confirmation.

The limited disclosure also prevents a reliable comparison between the completed transaction and any earlier asking figure. Without a confirmed sale consideration, the responsible record is simply that ownership changed and Fraser acted for the buyer; percentage discounts, price-per-gross-tonne calculations or claims about buyer leverage would be speculation rather than reporting.

LUCY moves into new ownership

For the new owner, the confirmed starting point is a 43-metre Richmond Yachts platform offering 397 GT and accommodation for up to 12 guests. Fraser’s emphasis on the private office, bridge-deck VIP and sky lounge indicates the areas the brokerage considered most significant when announcing the completed transaction.

The sale also illustrates why completed-deal reporting needs to distinguish confirmed facts from market assumptions. A yacht can be publicly confirmed as sold even when the consideration, buyer identity and full transaction structure remain confidential, and those undisclosed elements should remain undisclosed rather than being reconstructed from previous asking prices.

LUCY’s change of ownership is therefore a concise but clear brokerage result: Fraser has confirmed the sale, Trevor Carroll represented the buyer, and the yacht’s disclosed configuration centres on substantial volume and six-stateroom accommodation. Further ownership or operational details will depend on what the new owner or authorised representatives choose to make public after the transaction.
