Yacht Description
Big boat energy. CHANSON is a 120ft Christensen motor yacht (built 1995, refit 2020) that’s set up to feel larger than the headline length, thanks to multiple social zones across the main salon, formal dining, and an upper sky lounge.
Deck life first. The sundeck Jacuzzi and surrounding lounge areas make it easy to keep everyone in the same orbit. Hot water, cold drink. Repeat. An outdoor bar and BBQ help keep the plan simple.
Toys that get used. You have 2 WaveRunners for fast laps, plus wakeboard and water skis for proper sessions, not “maybe later.” Add kayaks, towables, snorkel gear, and Brownie’s Third Lung for longer underwater time without committing to full scuba.
Smart for eight. She sleeps 8 guests in 4 en-suite cabins, including a main-deck VIP suite and a full-beam master with his-and-hers bathrooms. Stabilizers, air conditioning, and Wi‑Fi round out the practical stuff that keeps a week running smoothly.
