JOHNSON 80' SKYLOUNGE WHYDRAULIC PLATFORM - Johnson FOR SALE

2026 80' Semi-Displacement Motor Yacht — Dixon Yacht Design x Johnson Yachts

Crafted in Taiwan for connoisseurs of performance and poise, this 80-foot motor yacht blends the sharp, sea-kindly lines of Dixon Yacht Design with the refined interior sensibility of Johnson Yachts. Her advanced composite fiberglass construction delivers a quiet, confident ride—equally at home slicing through open water at speed or settling into a serene anchorage for the weekend.

A generous 20-foot beam creates a remarkable sense of volume, allowing for sweeping social spaces and effortless circulation from aft deck to salon. Inside, contemporary finishes, rich textures, and a soothing palette meet abundant natural light to create a calm, residential atmosphere. Thoughtfully planned for extended cruising, the layout offers handsome accommodations with five beautifully appointed heads for owner and guests, while a discreet crew area for two ensures polished service and easy shipboard operations.

Underway, twin MAN inboard diesels provide smooth, dependable thrust and spirited performance, propelling her to approximately 25 knots when desired, with the composure and efficiency of a semi-displacement hull. With approximately 1,600 gallons of fuel and 350 gallons of fresh water, she delivers the autonomy to chase horizons with confidence, balancing range, comfort, and speed in equal measure.

On deck, broad entertaining zones invite lingering afternoons and luminous evenings—alfresco dining aft, sun-washed lounging forward, and seamless access to the water for swimming and tender activities. Every detail has been carefully considered to elevate life aboard, from storage and service flows to sightlines that frame the seascape at every turn.

As a new 2026 build, she benefits from the latest thinking in systems integration, sound attenuation, and craftsmanship, all backed by the build pedigree of Taiwan’s premier yacht artisans. Positioned squarely in the Motor Yacht and Luxury Yacht categories, this semi-displacement, composite 80-foot new build with twin MAN inboard diesels stands as a true bluewater cruiser—elegant, modern, and ready to explore.

Price is FOB Taiwan. Neither duty nor tariffs are included in the price.

I. Hull & deck – exterior general

The main deck is sheathed in 14 mm teak, setting a refined tone for a yacht engineered to work as beautifully as it looks. At the bow, stainless steel and Nylac integral rollers and a chain stopper manage the ground tackle with confidence, the roller machined with a precise groove to lead 250 feet of 3/8” galvanized chain that feeds a single Maxwell hydraulic windlass VWC4000 and secures a single 120 lb stainless steel anchor. A fresh‑water anchor‑chain washdown and an additional foredeck outlet for hose attachment keep operations clean and tidy. Heavy‑duty 316 stainless‑steel handrails and elliptical stanchions, together with heavy‑duty 316 stainless‑steel cleats and fairleads, are complemented by two extra pop‑up cleats on the aft platform. The superstructure is glazed in black tempered safety glass, laminated 5 mm + 5 mm, and the saloon connects to the cockpit through a stainless‑steel pneumatic sliding door with push‑button control and safety sensors, while a pantograph‑style side door in the deckhouse to port adds practical access. Manship elliptical stainless‑steel portlights and a stainless‑steel rub rail with rubber insert protect the hull and deck joint. Aft, line handling is effortless with twin Maxwell VC1500 24 V stern capstans. The cockpit welcomes with aft‑deck seating upholstered in Sunbrella outdoor fabric with removable covers, a matching aft‑deck table with protective cover, and low‑level LED courtesy lighting on both the side decks and aft deck. Teak‑tread stairs rise to the flybridge, and a large teak‑inlay swim platform with a curved stairway leads back to the cockpit, complete with hot‑and‑cold swim shower, stainless‑steel swim ladder, and a lazarette dedicated to fender stowage. For precise maneuvering, a full set of engine and thruster controls is fitted to either the starboard or port aft coaming, and the hydraulic swimming platform—Besenzoni PL850 or equivalent—delivers a 1,873 lbs lifting capacity.

II. Underwater gear

Performance below the waterline is driven by twin five‑blade bronze propellers turning in bronze P‑brackets on stainless‑steel Aquatech 22HS shafts of 3 1/2" diameter. Shaft integrity is assured with Tides Marine shaft lip‑seal glands sized 3 1/2" x 5 1/2" and Duramax Marine cutlass bearings, while high‑performance stainless‑steel rudders on Aquatech 22 stocks are sealed with Tides Marine lip‑seal glands and ride in bronze bearings. The bottom is protected by Sea Hawk primer systems Tuff Stuff 1284 Grey or 1285 White, overcoated with Sea Hawk self‑polishing copolymer antifouling Cukote 3445 Black or 3430 Dark Blue. A 3" boot‑top stripe in your choice of black, blue, or red completes the waterline presentation. A full cathodic bonding system protects with zinc anodes, and seawater strainers serve the engines, genset, and air‑conditioner, with seacocks on all underwater fittings. Maneuvering confidence comes from an ABT hydraulic bow thruster 12" 38 HP and an ABT hydraulic stern thruster 12" 38 HP, while ABT stabilizers with 250/6 square‑foot fins deliver composed running. An underwater exhaust system with mufflers and bypass minimizes noise and back‑pressure, and Hynautic hydraulic steering model PSHC5803 with power assist keeps helm effort light.

III. Skylounge

The skylounge is finished with a 14 mm teak‑and‑holly sole in a refined matt sheen beneath an instrument console upholstered in supple leather. Access is effortless via a stainless‑steel hatch and stairs with teak treads leading down to the saloon, while a high‑quality built‑in leather couch pairs with a smaller coffee table to create an intimate retreat. Entertaining is easy with an ice‑maker and refrigerator combo, and command is precise through Hynautic PSHC5803 hydraulic steering, comprehensive engine controls and instrumentation, and a magnetic compass. Sightlines stay clear with twin Exalto 250BS 24 V wipers with 950 mm arms. Choose your integrated navigation suite: Garmin or Raymarine. The Garmin package comprises GPSMAP 8617 fully‑integrated 17" multi‑touch MFDs x two, a GMI 20 marine instrument display x one, a GMR Fantom 4"/40 W/72 NM solid‑state open‑array radar x one, a Garmin VHF 210 marine radio x one, a Garmin AIS 600 Class B transceiver x one, a GHP 20 marine autopilot system with SmartPump x one, and a Garmin GSD 25 marine network sounder 2 kW x one.

Stabilizer control and monitoring are at your fingertips, as are bow and stern thruster panels. A CCTV system with an eight‑channel network DVR watches over all zones via five cameras—two in the engine room, two on the aft deck, and one on the foredeck aimed at the winch—while a rudder indicator and a Headhunter TS‑3000 series fuel gauge keep you informed. Night passages are aided by a PAR 60010‑2024 search light with joystick control. The Fusion audio system anchors the ambiance: MS‑AV700I DVD/receiver with Fusion Link, MS‑CL602 six‑inch marine ceiling‑mount speakers x four, and an MS‑BT200 Bluetooth adapter module for the Sirius port. A pop‑up TV cabinet reveals a 32" LCD TV with Apple TV. Low‑level LED courtesy lighting at 24 V, LED illumination beneath the radar arch, a stainless‑steel grab rail around the bar unit, and indirect LED lighting under the wet bar and seating enrich the mood. The stainless‑steel steering wheel, Buell air horn, and a LeBroc LX double‑wide two‑seater helm chair complete the helm, while the starboard settee pulls out with a cushion insert to convert into a comfortable skipper’s berth.

IV. Engine propulsion & E/R equipment

Power is delivered by twin MAN D2842 LE433 engines rated at 1,550 HP at 2,300 RPM, each turning through a ZF 2050A transmission with a 2.029:1 ratio. Each engine is protected by a dual Racor filter, and each genset has its own Racor fuel filter. Acoustic serenity is engineered by Van Cappellen with double sound‑ and heat‑insulated treatments throughout the engine room using a foam‑and‑lead composite, all within a spacious, well‑planned compartment finished in white with grey non‑skid rubber flooring. Fuel tanks are fitted with electric sending units from the Headhunter TS‑3000 series, and fire protection is automatic via a SeaFire FM‑200 system. Delta “T” extractor fans provide active ventilation with automatic vent closure in case of fire. Illumination in the engine room combines AC fluorescent lighting with DC LED dome lights. A manual bilge pump reaches the lowest point when the vessel is at rest. Fresh‑water pressure is assured by a high‑volume AC pump Headhunter March 5 M5‑115 with a 24 V DC backup pump Groco PSR 4000004‑24. Climate control comes from a chilled‑water system—Cruisair air conditioning rated at 96,000 BTU. For autonomy, there are two Aqua Whisper DX 450 watermakers, each producing 450 GPD. A centralized oil‑changing pump services engines, generators, and transmissions. Ship’s power is supported by Generator 1: Onan QD MDKBU 29 kW 60 Hz, with Generator 2: Onan QD MDKBU 29 kW 60 Hz offered as an option. Domestic hot water is provided by two Torrid 20‑gallon heaters. An emergency tiller offers redundancy. Each engine carries a hydraulic pump to drive the thrusters, stabilizers, and steering, and housekeeping is simplified by a central vacuum cleaner (Nutone CV352 110 V/220 V system).

V. Electrical

The yacht is wired for global versatility with 110 V/220 V AC systems and a robust 24 V DC backbone. Shorepower arrives via two sets of 75’ Glendinning Cablemasters at 50 amps. Smart energy management includes dedicated chargers for both the 24 V and 12 V circuits, along with an alternator split‑charging system that links and optimizes house‑bank charging using BEP high‑charge regulators. Ship’s service relies on four 255 Ah 12 V gel‑cell sealed batteries, engine starting on four 225 Ah gel‑cell sealed batteries, and the genset on a single 210 Ah gel‑cell sealed battery. AC sockets are thoughtfully distributed throughout, with GFI protection on required outlets, and a BEP battery select switch adds control. The main electrical panel consolidates AC and DC breakers into four clearly organized zones—engine room, helm, A/C, and DC—with automatic backlighting on door open. Corrosion protection is enhanced by an anti‑electrolysis bonding system. Power quality is assured with twin 50‑amp automatic isolating and booster transformers. Generators: two Onan QD MDKDS 29 kW units round out a resilient, blue‑water‑ready electrical architecture.

VI. Plumbing system

A comprehensive plumbing installation underpins life aboard. Blackwater is contained in a 100‑gallon holding tank served by a macerator pump, with a “Y” valve enabling overboard pump‑out where permitted. Tank levels are tracked by a Headhunter indicator. Each shower drains to a dedicated sump pump. Fresh‑water runs through marine‑grade lines from a 350‑gallon stainless‑steel water tank with a sending unit, with sight gauges provided for both fuel and water tanks. Dockside fresh‑water inlet is fitted, and color‑coded piping ensures instant identification throughout. All through‑hull fittings are safeguarded by bronze intake valves, and a centralized manifold groups overboard discharges to minimize the number of hull penetrations. The freshwater Sealand vacuum toilet system serves the heads. High‑water bilge alarms in the engine room, forward bilge, and lazarette compartments—six in total—report to a mimic panel at the helm, while six Rule 3700 GPH bilge pumps with float switches stand guard, each paired with a high‑water alarm.

VII. Interior finish

The interior joinery is crafted in mahogany or cherry, elevated by burr wood accents and ivory lacquer, and paired with your choice of upholstery fabrics to create a bespoke ambiance that feels both contemporary and timeless.

VIII. Galley

The galley is thoughtfully appointed for gourmet cruising, beginning with the latest G.E. electric refrigerator/freezer, cooktop, oven, and a microwave with integral extractor fan. A stainless‑steel sink with hot and cold water anchors the worktop, while a G.E. trash compactor and G.E. dishwasher streamline cleanup. Two double AC sockets are positioned for convenience, and cabinetry, drawers, and abundant stowage keep provisions organized. Choose between a teak floor or a marble floor, and enjoy the bonus of overhead storage above the galley bench to maximize utility without sacrificing elegance.

IX. Saloon

The saloon blends relaxation and control across two levels, with a dedicated dining area in the upper saloon and a plush built‑in leather couch with gracefully curved seating in the lower saloon. The stainless‑steel pneumatic sliding door opens at a touch, safeguarded by a safety sensor device. Entertainment is cinematic with a 42" LCD TV, a Bose Lifestyle 535 Series III home theater system, a Pioneer BDP‑160 Blu‑ray Disc player, and Apple TV. Ship systems remain at hand via the main AC/DC control panel. After dark, the mood is set by low‑level 24 V LED courtesy lights and matching 24 V LED ceiling lighting, while a refined coffee table centers the space for conversation.

X. Master stateroom

The full‑beam master is a private sanctuary anchored by a king‑size berth with generous storage beneath and drawers built into the base. Daily rituals find a home at the vanity, while a welcoming couch and a cedar‑lined walk‑in closet add residential comfort. Lighting is layered with 24 V LED ceiling illumination and twin 24 V reading lights. Daylight pours through three Manship stainless‑steel side windows, two fixed and one opening.
