Owner Experience Review
Owners who run the 85 Deck Housethemselves describe a versatile platform for family cruising and multi-day coastal passages. The typical three-cabin, multi-head layout with separate crew quarters supports an owner-operator with crew, and listings frequently cite its use as a private weekend/leisure yacht with a flybridge galley that makes entertaining easy. The generous salon and three large guest cabins are also often noted for occasional charter or hosting friends.
On the water, published owner/broker figures repeat a ~19-knot cruise and ~23-knot top, and the aluminum, flush-deck design is repeatedly described as solid, sea-kindly, and stable at cruise in moderate seas. Handling is characterized as comfortable with the heavier feel typical of a semi-displacement 85, while long-stay comfort benefits from substantial tankage—about 5,270 gallons of fuel and 1,072 gallons of freshwater—plus spacious outdoor decks and interior styling by Douglas Richey.
Maintenance expectations should be realistic for a yacht of this class: sale documents commonly flag major engine and generator overhauls (MTU 12V-2000 work appears in multiple files), and several 2024–2025 listings reference an extensive refit on one boat on the order of ~$1,000,000, including zero-time MTU rebuilds and rebuilt generators. Service typically relies on professional yards and MTU support, and forum anecdotes caution that upkeep can be expensive; yet one owner quote in broker materials still calls it “more than just a boat… the best decision I ever made.”
