1990 Tempest 60 “Fantom”40-Knot Cruise. 46+ Knot Performance. Built Like Few Boats Ever Were.
“Fantom” is not an ordinary 60-foot express yacht.
Built by Tempest Yachts in Florida, she comes from a design and construction heritage developed around serious law-enforcement and military applications, where strength, speed, durability, and offshore capability were fundamental requirements.
That heritage is immediately apparent in the way this vessel is built and, even more importantly, in the way she performs.
Performance That Still Turns Heads
“Fantom” is capable of cruising comfortably at approximately 40 knots and, when fully tuned and in fresh running condition, can achieve speeds of 46+ knots.
For a substantial 60-foot yacht offering two private staterooms, two heads, a full salon and galley, that level of performance is remarkable even by modern standards.
This is a yacht designed to cover serious distance quickly.
Whether running the Southern California coast, heading offshore, or simply enjoying a fast afternoon on the water, “Fantom” offers a combination of speed, strength, and interior volume that is difficult to duplicate.
Purpose-Built Strength
Tempest built these vessels with a very different mission in mind from the typical recreational express cruiser.
The result is a substantial, exceptionally strong hull and structure with the rugged feel of a purpose-built offshore vessel.
Her law-enforcement and military heritage is an important part of what makes “Fantom” so unique. She was designed during an era when these boats were expected to operate hard, run fast, and withstand demanding offshore conditions.
Today, that same construction provides an impressive platform for an owner who appreciates serious engineering and performance.
Cockpit & Helm
The large cockpit is equally well suited for entertaining, cruising, or simply enjoying the ride.
Features include:
Generous cockpit seating
Wet bar
Excellent shade and protection
Cockpit table converting to a large lounging area
Updated cockpit upholstery
Newer canvas
Bow thruster
Full Raymarine electronics package
Electrically rising helm electronics display
The helm provides the commanding driving position a yacht with this level of performance deserves.
Accommodations
Below deck, “Fantom” offers an impressive amount of living space for a yacht capable of running at these speeds.
Her layout includes:
Two private staterooms
Two heads
Spacious salon
Full galley
Excellent storage
Comfortable accommodations for extended cruising
Her interior has been remarkably well preserved in its original configuration, providing the warmth and character of a classic performance yacht while remaining extremely functional.
Rather than attempting to make her something she is not, “Fantom” retains the distinctive styling and craftsmanship of her era.
Recent Improvements
Recent care and improvements include:
Fresh bottom paint
Updated cockpit upholstery
Newer canvas
Bow thruster installation
Raymarine electronics suite
A Very Different Kind of 60-Foot Yacht
There are plenty of 60-foot express cruisers.
There are very few that can cruise at approximately 40 knots, provide genuine two-stateroom/two-head accommodations, and trace their engineering heritage back to vessels designed for demanding law-enforcement and military service.
That is what separates “Fantom.”
She is fast, extremely substantial, comfortable, distinctive, and extraordinarily capable.
For the buyer who appreciates serious construction and wants something genuinely different from the typical production express yacht, “Fantom” deserves to be experienced firsthand.
