Encore - HUBERT JOHNSON FOR SALE

Beautifully cared-for Hubert Johnson Sea Skiff, a classic wooden motor yacht that has called Barnegat Bay home since launch. Built of mahogany over oak with a dependable single-screw drivetrain, she exudes vintage elegance and timeless craftsmanship. Previously owned by a Toms River physician, she was serviced at deRouvilles Boat Shop, christened Rip Tide, and finished in white with light blue decks.

Her distinctive hardtop with flybridge sets her apart—an iconic flybridge cruiser profile. Later acquired by a former Seaside Heights boatyard owner, she was thoughtfully refreshed and has been a proud feature of the Antique and Classic Boat Show, Barnegat Bay Chapter, since 2009. Now in the hands of an experienced classic boat enthusiast, she continues to benefit from attentive upgrades, including a professionally rebuilt transom completed in winter 2024. A rare vintage yacht and cabin cruiser gem—come see her shine.

Overall

Her distinctive hard-top design with a flybridge sets her apart, and under the care of a former boatyard owner in Seaside Heights she was thoughtfully refreshed and proudly shown at the local Antique and Classic Boat Show Barnegat Bay Chapter since 2009. Now in the hands of an experienced classic boat owner, she continues to benefit from sensitive upgrades, including a rebuilt transom completed over the winter in 2024. Come see this gem and feel the timeless character she brings to every cruise.
