Lucy is a 43.28 m motor yacht built by Richmond Yachts in 2008 (refitted 2025), for 10 guests in 5 cabins with 9 crew. Charter from US$140,000 per week in summer (New England, Bahamas and Caribbean); in winter from US$140,000 (Caribbean, Antigua and Bahamas), plus expenses.
Formerly Far From It, a 2008 Richmond tri-deck with mahogany and sapele joinery, a heated spa pool ringed by a bar, and summers in New England before the Bahamas in winter.
Lucy was launched in 2008 as Richmond Lady, a 142-foot tri-deck with naval architecture by Ward Setzer and an interior by the Pavlik Design Team. Two more names followed, first Natita II and then Far From It; her latest yard period was in 2025. The look is classic American: mahogany, sapele and pommele woodwork, a compass rose etched into the salon ceiling and inlaid again in the upper deck table.
Dinner is the event. The formal dining room forward of the salon seats ten under a chandelier of gold-finished Murano glass, beside a curved wall of gold and sapphire glass with water running down it. It is a room for people who like to dress for dinner and stay at the table; those who would rather eat barefoot on deck have the teak table on the upper deck aft, under the stars.
Afternoons belong to the top deck. A heated spa pool with sixty jets sits beneath the arch, ringed by a half-moon bar with four stools, with an air-conditioned day head close by. From there the slide goes straight to the water, and the toy list includes electric lift foils, Seabobs, kayaks, a dive compressor and a 10-metre Boston Whaler to run guests ashore. Her range of about 3,450 nautical miles is what allows a summer in New England and a winter in the Bahamas and the Virgin Islands.
That pairing is the less common part of her year. A summer in New England suits families from the east coast of the United States who want a crewed summer close to home. When the cold arrives, she runs south for the Bahamas and the Virgin Islands. She takes ten guests, with the master full-beam on the main deck and a desk and office corner of its own.
She is not for anyone after a Mediterranean holiday or a sleek contemporary interior. Her charm is in wood, glass and an old-school dining room.
