Jule - PACIFIC MARINER FOR SALE

Preliminary listing as of Aug 25, 2025 — additional details and photography arriving soon.

“Jule” stands out as the most compellingly priced Pacific Mariner 85 on the market when measured against the scope and value of her recent enhancements—approximately 700,000 invested in 2025 alone, and over 2,000,000 during the last five years. The key improvements and features are outlined below.

This is a rare chance to secure a world‑class luxury motor yacht at a fraction of her replacement cost, which would readily exceed 10 million.

The Pacific Mariner 85 is a U.S.-built, raised‑pilothouse motor yacht renowned for superior ride quality and efficiency. Her lineage traces to naval architect Bill Garden—the mind behind the Westport 130 and 164—who famously referred to most boats as “push waters.” This design was conceived with disciplined attention to proper length‑to‑beam, matched horsepower, and meticulous weight control.

“Jule” has benefited from thoughtful, proactive ownership, delivering safe, comfortable passages around the world. In recent years she has received a significant series of updates, refinements, and premium additions, reinforcing her status as a bluewater, long‑range cruiser in the superyacht class with a flybridge and raised pilothouse layout.

Vessel walkthrough:

Step aboard Jule from the dock via a new boarding ladder or through the optional aft deck boarding gates and arrive on a generous aft deck where an aft settee, a large teak dining table, and occasional surrounding chairs invite effortless alfresco meals; a dropdown TV stands ready for your favorite sporting events. Through stainless steel sliding doors, the salon opens with L‑shaped sofa seating facing aft for superb views of the anchorage or marina, complemented by two barrel swivel chairs. A custom high‑low cocktail table rises and pivots on an angle to create additional overflow dining to supplement the formal dining area. Throughout the yacht, elegant mahogany joinery is finished to a high standard across all levels, with comprehensive sound and vibration attenuation engineered into every deck and most bulkheads for remarkable quiet and comfort underway and at anchor. Forward on starboard within the salon, a walk‑behind bar with an icemaker and wine cooler serves as a convivial gathering point, while to port the formal dining table seats six to eight guests in refined style.

Proceeding forward and up three steps, the galley, settee and pilothouse share one slightly raised main‑deck level, encouraging easy conversation while meals are prepared. A large peninsula counter anchors a home‑style galley fitted with full‑size appliances, including a new refrigerator and abundant storage above and below the counters. Jule features three custom cantilevered bar stools crafted by Crown that neatly pull out from beneath the table base, creating a perfect perch for casual dining or a morning coffee with a view. The pilothouse occupies the forward portion of this level with two comfortable custom Stidd helm chairs and a full array of navigational electronics laid out for effortless sightlines and control from the helm.

Privacy is a hallmark of the master suite, reached from the forward starboard corner down a broad staircase serving only the master—a configuration typically found aboard much larger yachts. This full‑beam sanctuary delivers volume on par with yachts of 110–120 feet. Centerline, a California King berth offers substantial storage below, with nightstands to port and starboard, each flanked by large walk‑in closets. Additional clothing drawers line both port and starboard, and oversized stainless‑steel portlights flood the stateroom with natural light when shades are open. The ensuite master head lies forward to port, featuring a large household‑style shower, his‑and‑hers sinks, a toilet, and a laundry cabinet above the head.

Guest accommodations are reached via their own staircase and comprise three guest staterooms: two VIPs and one twin with side‑by‑side berths. The forward VIP provides a walkaround queen berth and an ensuite head with a separate shower. A second VIP to starboard aft features a walkaround queen to starboard, drawers beneath the berth, and an ensuite head with a separate shower. The fourth stateroom to port offers side‑by‑side berths and its own ensuite head with a separate shower. Below the guest foyer, a large “Tunnel” storage area accommodates spare parts and even small refrigerators—ideal for extended cruising.

From the galley, a substantial wooden staircase leads to the flybridge. Forward on this deck, the helm area includes one captain’s Stidd helm chair with an adjacent double Stidd bench so guests can comfortably accompany the captain while cruising; a full suite of duplicate electronics and gauges is clearly visible from the helm seats. Aft to starboard, a generous L‑shaped settee surrounds a high‑gloss teak table for dining and entertaining six to eight guests. To port, a walk‑up bar with two bar stools is backed by three sets of double refrigerators and freezers—perfect for provisioning the Bahamas and beyond. Farther aft to port, a semi‑round alcove seating area adds another convivial nook for entertaining. All the way aft, the boat deck carries a 16 foot tender fore‑and‑aft; when removed by the davit, this expanse transforms into a large open deck for substantial gatherings.

The foredeck, accessed via both port and starboard pilothouse doors, provides an additional lounging zone with comfortable forward cushions. Crew staterooms are located aft, while the owner’s master is amidships and the VIPs are forward, a deliberate arrangement that grants owners and guests privacy and allows crew to move about discreetly without disturbing the living areas.

Salon

The large salon is notably comfortable, with primary seating facing aft for excellent visibility and two additional barrel swivel chairs enhancing conversation and entertaining. To starboard, a large TV on a custom lift retracts cleanly into cabinetry when not in use. Expansive windows to port and starboard, together with a full‑glass aft salon bulkhead, bathe the space in natural light. Forward within the salon, the formal dining area is framed by exhibition‑style glass cabinets ideal for displaying fine glassware. A new salon privacy shade on the aft bulkhead was added in 2025 for instant ambiance and discretion.

Galley

The galley presents an open, social layout with a full suite of appliances that make extended cruising effortless: a new full‑size refrigerator (2025), a new Miele dishwasher (2025), two new Miele washers and two new Miele dryers (2025), two new refrigerators on the flybridge, a new range (2023), and a new top‑of‑the‑line water filtration system (2025). With abundant storage and the adjacent settee, it becomes a natural hub for casual dining and conversation.

Pilothouse

Forward of the galley and settee, the pilothouse features uniform flat‑screen monitors across the dash presenting black‑box electronics and superb sightlines in every direction, with immediate access to the side decks through port and starboard pilothouse doors for effortless close‑quarters handling. The specification is comprehensive: two Simrad chartplotters (2018), a Garmin plotter, a Simrad HALO open‑array radar (2018), four digital displays—two for wind plus depth and speed—along with a Simrad autopilot (2022), two VHF ICOM M602 radios with new antennas (2022), MTU controls and engine instruments with a backup control system, two generator control panels at the pilothouse, Humphree’s Zero Speed Control, a bow thruster control, and two ACR spotlights.

On the flybridge helm, the captain enjoys a mirrored suite: a Simrad chartplotter, a Garmin chartplotter, a Simrad multifunction display, a Simrad autopilot, two ACR spotlights, two new MTU engine displays, Humphree’s Zero Speed Control (2025), and a bow thruster control—all positioned for instant readability from the Stidd helm chair and adjacent double Stidd bench.

Accommodations

The master stateroom enjoys its own wide, curved private staircase with a comfortable landing and, at the bottom, dedicated access to the owner’s private washer and dryer with laundry storage above. A substantial entry door reveals a full‑beam suite with a California King berth, walk‑in closets to port and starboard, and generous nightstands on both sides. Large stainless‑framed, dogged and gasketed portlights are concealed behind shades or, when open, welcome excellent natural light. Storage drawers beneath the berth keep wardrobes organized. To starboard, built‑in drawers span beneath a broad counter, and forward is an office desk with bookcases above; to port, another bank of drawers adds further capacity. The master head is notably large, with a walk‑in shower and double sinks, and there is sufficient room should one wish to add exercise equipment or a Jacuzzi tub.

From a separate staircase forward to starboard, the balance of accommodations comprises two VIP staterooms and a fourth stateroom with side‑by‑side berths. The forward VIP lies just a few steps down to the first landing and offers a walkaround queen berth with a large ensuite head. The aft VIP is located at the lower landing with a walkaround queen and an ensuite head with a separate shower stall. The fourth stateroom to port provides side‑by‑side berths and its own ensuite head with a separate shower.

Crew quarters are thoughtfully positioned at the opposite end of the yacht from the guest staterooms, maximizing privacy for owners and guests as well as for crew themselves; two crew staterooms share one crew head with a separate shower stall.

Extra items

Thoughtful upgrades elevate daily life aboard: a new 2025 boarding ladder with a custom extension and custom storage brackets; an additional stainless‑steel handrail from the flybridge to the salon/galley (2025); new Eisenglass on the flybridge (2025); a new pilothouse windshield cover (2025); new protective covers on the flybridge (2025); a new main‑deck table cover (2025); four new crew radios; and a new wine cooler (2023).

Mechanical

Mechanical systems reflect diligent care and meaningful upgrades: two MTU displays new in 2023; Humphree underway stabilizers with interceptors (2020) serviced in 2025; new dual Racors on the main engines (2025) in lieu of Sep‑Par filters; new dual Racors on the generators in place of single units; Gianneshi water‑pressure pumps (2022); and three new air‑conditioning chillers with frequency drives. Together, they deliver quiet, efficient performance and redundancy where it matters most.

In 2025, comprehensive main engine services were completed, including new injector pumps—twenty‑four in total, with 38,000.00 in parts alone—new actuators for turbo wastegates, coolant replaced with Zerex/MTU coolant, alternators removed and shop‑inspected, an oil change, and new air filters. Generator service in 2025 was equally thorough: new injectors; new injection pumps and fuel lines; inspection of the electrical end on both generators; new stainless‑steel risers on generator exhaust; valve adjustments on both units; sound‑shield covers removed and re‑insulated at the shop; new alternator belts; new raw‑water pumps; new heat exchangers; and a coolant flush with special detergent followed by fresh coolant. The result is a machinery space that inspires confidence for long‑range passages.

Electrical

Electrical upgrades emphasize reliability and global versatility: new house and main‑engine batteries in 2025—10 AGM 8D units for the engines plus 2 additional for the generators; three new Mastervolt battery chargers (2021); new shorepower cords with new ends, specifically two cords, in 2025; an ASEA electrical converter for 50/60‑cycle compatibility to enable Mediterranean cruising; and a new Hubble Smart Boost with other shorepower updates (2025). The system is robust, redundant, and ready for varied shore supplies.

Safety & fire protection

Safety and compliance have been freshly renewed: a new EPIRB with a hydrostatic release installed in 2025; an extensive offshore medical kit, new in 2025, complete with defibrillator and oxygen; a new ditch bag in 2025 with strobe lights, water, and pyrotechnics; a life raft recently certified with a new hydrostatic release installed in 2025; upgraded and recently certified fire‑suppression systems in 2025; and a new, complete set of flares and related devices for both yacht and tender (2025). The yacht is provisioned to meet offshore demands with confidence.

Deck equipment

Deck preparedness mirrors the yacht’s safety ethos, with a new EPIRB and hydrostatic release installed in 2025, an extensive offshore medical kit new in 2025 complete with defibrillator and oxygen, a new 2025 ditch bag with strobe lights, water, and pyrotechnics, a life raft recently certified with a new hydrostatic release in 2025, fire‑suppression upgrades recently certified in 2025, and a new complete set of flares and related devices for both the yacht and her tender (2025). The result is a deck inventory that is current, compliant, and expedition‑ready.

Description

Preliminary Listing December 12, 2025. More information and photos coming soon. Jule is the best‑priced Pacific Mariner 85 to reach the market when measured against the value of the 2025 upgrades and features—approximately 700,000.00—while total investment over the past five years exceeds 2,000,000.00. These enhancements are detailed in the specifications that follow and represent a rare chance to acquire a truly world‑class yacht at a fraction of replacement cost, which could easily exceed 10 million.

An American‑built motor‑yacht, the 85 Pacific Mariner is celebrated for sea‑kindly performance derived from naval architect Bill Garden, whose portfolio includes highly efficient yachts such as the Westport 130 and 164; he famously dismissed lesser designs as “Push Waters.” This model was conceived at the correct length‑to‑beam with the right horsepower and an exacting focus on weight control—indeed, on keeping weight off—before a single mold was cut.

Jule has enjoyed exemplary ownership, meticulous care, and has delivered safe, enjoyable cruising across the globe. In recent years, she has benefited from significant updates, improvements, and added features. Highlights include Humphree Zero Speed Stabilizers with Interceptors (2020), an especially substantial upgrade powered electrically to eliminate the hydraulic noise common to other zero‑speed systems at anchor; new 12 mm Burmese teak decks throughout (2023)—aft deck, side and foredecks, flybridge, and boat decks; a new AB 16‑ALX aluminum tender (2025) with 70 hp, custom chocks, and a five‑year warranty on both boat and engine, plus Bimini, custom step, and handrail (2025); aft deck boarding gates with a custom ladder; and a davit that was inspected, repainted, and equipped with a new remote in 2025. The steering system was rebuilt with new rams and hoses, and a custom access to the steering compartment from the crew quarters—non‑standard on other 85 Pacific Mariners—was added in 2025. Comfort upgrades include new premium Zeno mattresses in all staterooms, including crew (2025), and a new boarding ladder with an additional platform and custom mounting brackets (2025). Included in the sale is the Aquabanas “Party Bana,” a floating cabana that lets you dangle your feet in the water.

Mechanical investments are equally compelling: a major W4 service on the main engines with new cylinder heads and gaskets, new turbos, fuel injectors, injection pumps, charge air coolers, oil coolers, and fuel coolers; new engine displays; new main‑engine exhaust risers (2025); two new Onan 29KW generators with Cummins engines (2019), approximately 4300 hours each; a new power take‑off on the generator (2020); Racor fuel‑filtering upgraded to dual units for both main engines and generators (new 2025); plus new Starlink (2025), new Hubble electrical Smart Boost (2025), and new shore cords (2025). In total, Jule stands apart as the connoisseur’s Pacific Mariner 85—modernized, quiet, efficient, and ready to cruise.
