Overview

Cara Maria is one of those jaw-dropping beautiful boats that at the same time is comfortable and user-friendly. She has the trademark features that make Jongert so famous—the Dutch engine room, internally scuppered portholes, ingenious aft platform that becomes stairs or passerelle…as well as the features which distinguish as unique (See Remarks).

On deck forward there are double bow rollers, windlass and crew entry. On top of the coach roof is an area for sunning. Continuing aft to the entrance of the cockpit area, aft leads to a large, teak table surrounded by comfortable settees. Beyond this is the teak grated platform for tender; it acts as passerelle or stairs to the water.

Forward of the table to port is the pedestal steering. Center is the entrance, down a few steps to the pilot house/salon. Forward stairs lead to the lower salon, galley and crew quarters forward; aft is a long passageway with two staterooms to starboard and a stateroom and day head to port. The master stateroom is at the end of the passageway. From the upper salon another set of stairs starboard aft, spirals down to the landing for the day head, small stateroom and master stateroom.

Accommodations


Interior was custom designed by John Munford. His American-cherry raised-panel interior is throughout the yacht below, including crew quarters; it is teak in the upper salon/pilothouse. The interior has been "floated" so inside is extremely quiet. All furniture below and in upper salon has new upholstery (2009). Edelmessing hardware, light fixtures and bath fixtures are throughout the yacht. Various mood lighting is available. All hanging lockers are lined with aromatic cedar. Beds have the slatted-board ventilation system under the mattresses. Master and guest staterooms boast marble countertops and heated towel bars in the baths; crew countertops are Corian; and the galley's countertops are granite. An enormous amount of storage underneath the bilges is racked and labeled. Hatches have built-in mosquito and black- out shades; both hatches and portholes have metal security bars. All portholes are attached to an internal scuppering system which avoids cosmetic damage in case a port is left open. This is only one of many fantastic details, too numerous to name, which make a Jongert such a pleasure to own and cruise.

Pilothouse-Upper Deck Salon


Dining for 8-10 people at large table to port with U-shaped settee. Two stools can be inserted into fittings on the inboard side surrounding the table with diners. A cabinet in the base of the table stores the ice-maker. To starboard is the temperature controlled wine cellar, fridge and bar storage. Forward full-width is the interior helm station with complete navigation equipment, push-button and joystick sail-handling controls, engine controls and joystick helm. This wheelhouse/upper salon is blessed with two sets of stairs; one aft goes directly to the landing for the day head, master stateroom and smaller fourth stateroom. The other stairs are forward and lead to the lower salon.

Master Stateroom


Full-width aft, the door opens to a wall which shields the bed from direct sight. A step to the left reveals a lovely sanctuary. A centerline bed, flanked by large night stands, is surrounded by four full-length closets, drawers and cabinets and two large storage areas. In back of the bed, when the drapes are open, a "galleon style" window infuses the room with light. The ensuite head offers two sinks with marble counters, toilet, and full sized stall shower.

Guest Stateroom


From the main salon a central corridor leads aft to guest and master staterooms. In the corridor are various cabinets for storage, including a full length linen locker. Two guest staterooms port and starboard each have ample twin beds with a bureau between, full-length hanging locker, and drawers underneath the beds. Ensuite is a bathroom with sink, marble counter tops, fresh water toilet and stall shower.

Continuing aft, up a few stairs to a landing; to starboard is the stairway curving up to salon/pilothouse. After the stairs is a smaller guest stateroom; it can be set up as a single berth or as two bunks when an upper bunk concealed as paneling slides up and slots into position horizontally. A hanging locker and drawers provide storage. The bathroom for this stateroom is across the hall; it has all the features of a full bath, including a stall shower. It is also used as the day head; stairs across the hall give direct access to above pilothouse/upper salon.

Crew Accommodations

berth is concealed behind paneling which slides up and locks into place horizontally. A desk, locker, drawers and shelves complete this room. Ensuite head has sink, toilet and stall shower.

Features


Cara Maria was built and classed to Lloyd’s 100 A1 which means not only the hull, but the entire yacht was built to Lloyd’s specs and approval. The superstructure, machinery, wiring, piping…right down to the anchors were all approved. She was in class until 2007 when the vessel changed hands. Maintenance and safety have remained uncompromised.

Remarks


Lucky you, to have the chance to buy Cara Maria! Though her heritage is from a Jongert 31 T, she is one of a kind. For one, she was built and classed originally to Lloyds 100 A1; not only the hull, but the entire yacht from wiring, piping and machinery to the anchors. No doubt about it--this yacht is safe and strong! Beauty was another key consideration. On the outside, the coach roof is lower to give a sleeker, balanced line, reminiscent of the classics. On the inside, another nod to the classics is the gorgeous raised-panel interior, designed by John Munford, crafted in rich American-cherry. Versatility has also been maximized. Opening up the aft end of the pilothouse/deck salon creates more “outdoor” living space that tropical breezes can waft through, while for more protection, this area can be enclosed with your choice of three types of curtains. One set of stairs forward leads to the lower salon and aft to the four staterooms for owner and guests. Another set of stairs at the aft end of the upper salon leads directly to a landing for the day head or the master cabin. And to top it off, Cara Maria’s captive winches for the main and Genoa allow sail-handling to be a one-person affair.
