2026 83-foot Semi-Displacement Motor Yacht

Crafted in Taiwan to an exacting standard, this brand-new 83-foot luxury motor yacht brings together the hydrodynamic expertise of Dixon Yacht Design and the refined interiors of Johnson Yachts.

Outdoor living is elevated by broad, open-air terraces that invite long lunches, sunset cocktails, and easy access to the water. Safe, generous side decks and purposeful detailing reflect a yacht designed for the sea: poised, practical, and elegant. The deck and superstructure, finished in durable fiberglass, present clean lines and low-maintenance beauty that complement the yacht’s modern aesthetic.

This 83-footer is an ideal choice for discerning yachtsmen seeking a contemporary luxury motor yacht with the range and poise to explore, the speed to seize the moment, and the grace to arrive in style. As a semi-displacement, composite, diesel inboard cruiser, it is perfectly suited to bluewater passages, family cruising, and premium charter experiences—delivering the rare combination of performance, comfort, and craftsmanship that defines a true modern motor yacht.

I. Hull & deck- exterior general

From the bow to the teak-clad aft, the main deck in rich 14 mm teak sets the tone for robust elegance, while stainless steel and Nylac integral rollers with a machined chain groove, a chain stopper, and 250 feet of 3/8" galvanized chain work in concert with a single Maxwell hydraulic windlass VWC4000 and a single 120 lb stainless steel anchor to make anchoring effortless and secure. Fresh-water anchor chain washdown and a foredeck outlet for hose attachment keep operations pristine, as heavy-duty 316 stainless steel handrails and elliptical stanchions pair with equally rugged 316 stainless steel cleats and fairleads, supplemented by two extra pop-up cleats on the aft platform, to deliver confidence underfoot and in hand. The saloon is framed in black tempered laminated safety glass, 5 mm + 5 mm, and accessed through a stainless steel pneumatic sliding door with push-button operation and safety sensors, complemented by a pantograph-style port-side deckhouse door and Manship elliptical stainless steel port lights. A stainless steel rub rail with a rubber insert traces the hull and deck joint, while twin Maxwell VC1500 24V stern capstans, aft deck seating with Sunbrella outdoor cushions and a removable cover, and an aft deck table with its protective cover elevate comfort in all conditions. Low-level LED courtesy lighting along the side decks and aft deck accents the architecture by night, and teak-tread stairs lead gracefully to the flybridge. A large teak-inlay swim platform connects via a curved stairway to the aft deck and is fully appointed with a hot and cold swim shower, a stainless steel swim ladder, and a lazarette designed for tidy fender stowage. For precise close-quarters handling, a full set of engine and thruster controls is fitted to either starboard or port aft coaming, completing a deck plan that blends function, safety, and refined finish.

II. Underwater gear

Below the waterline, twin 5-blade bronze propellers drive through bronze P-brackets and a pair of Aquatech 22HS stainless steel shafts, each 3½" in diameter, protected by Tides Marine shaft lip seal glands and shaft logs sized 3½" x 5½", and running in Duramax Marine cutlass bearings for smooth, enduring performance. High-performance stainless steel rudders with Aquatech 22 stocks, Tides Marine shaft lip seal glands, and bronze bearings translate helm commands with precision, while a comprehensive Sea Hawk bottom system—Tuff Stuff 1284 Grey or 1285 White primer and self-polishing copolymer antifouling Cukote 3445 Black or 3430 Dark Blue—locks in long-range protection. A 3" boot-top stripe in your choice of black, blue, or red defines the waterline with intent. A full cathodic bonding system to zinc anodes shields vital metals, seawater strainers serve the engines, genset, and air-conditioner, and seacocks are fitted on all underwater fittings for absolute control. Hydraulic bow and stern thrusters, “at rest” stabilizers, and an underwater exhaust system with mufflers and bypass make passagemaking serene, all underpinned by Hynautic hydraulic steering, model PSHC5803, enhanced with power steering for fingertip command.

III. Flybridge

The flybridge invites open-air command with an FRP non-skid deck, a clean instrument console under a Perspex cover, and an elegant stainless steel access hatch and stair with teak treads leading up from the saloon. Generous FRP seating dressed in Sunbrella outdoor cushions surrounds a dining table, while a fully equipped wet bar—complete with sink, ice maker, and refrigerator—anchors the social heart. Hydraulic steering via Hynautic PSHC5803, full engine controls and instrumentation, a magnetic compass, stabilizer control and monitoring, and bow and stern thruster panels place total control at the helm. Choose your integrated navigation suite: Garmin with GPSMAP 8617 17" fully-integrated multi-touch MFD x 2, GMI 20 Marine Instrument Display x 1, GMR 404 xHD open array radar with 4 kW pedestal x 1, GMR Fantom 4"/40 W/72 NM solid-state open-array radar x 1, Garmin VHF 210 x 1, Garmin AIS 600 Class B transceiver x 1, GHP 20 marine autopilot with SmartPump x 1, and Garmin GSD 25 marine network sounder 2 kW x 1; or Raymarine with GS 15.4" Glass Bridge multifunction displays with Wi‑Fi x 2, i70 multifunction color display x 1, 48" HD color open array and 4 kW pedestal x 1, Ray218E VHF x 1, AIS 650 Class B transceiver x 1, Evolution autopilot with P70R control head and ACU‑400 actuator control unit x 1, and CP100 DownVision fishfinder x 1. Situational awareness is amplified by a CCTV network with an 8‑channel network DVR and 5 cameras—two in the engine room, two on the aft deck, and one on the foredeck facing the winch—plus a rudder indicator and a Headhunter TS‑3000 fuel gauge. Comfort flourishes with an acrylic deflecting wind screen, a PAR 60010‑2024 search light with joystick control, and a Fusion audio system comprising the MS‑AV700i DVD/receiver with Fusion-Link, MS‑CL602 6" marine ceiling-mount speakers x 4, and an MS‑BT200 Bluetooth adapter module for Sirius port. Entertainment extends to a pop-up TV cabinet housing a 32" LCD TV and Apple TV. After dark, low-level 24 V LED courtesy lights and LED lighting under the radar arch set the mood, with a stainless steel grab rail embracing the bar unit and LED indirect lighting under the wet bar and seating for a refined glow. A commanding Buell air horn, the LeBroc LX double‑wide two‑seater helm seat, a stainless steel steering wheel, and a hydraulic davit—Bensenzoni, 1322 lbs lifting capacity, 24 V—complete a flybridge made for cruising in style.

IV. Engine propulsion & engine room equipment

Power comes from twin MAN D2842 LE433 engines rated 1550 HP at 2300 RPM, each turning through ZF 2050A transmissions with a 2.029:1 ratio, safeguarded by dual Racor filtration on each engine and dedicated Racor filters for each genset. The engine room is wrapped in Van Cappellen–designed double sound and heat insulation, a foam and lead composite that, together with immaculate white finishes and grey non‑skid rubber flooring, creates a calm, serviceable environment. Fuel tanks with Headhunter TS‑3000 series electric sending units keep levels precise, while a Seafire FM‑200 automatic fire extinguisher and Delta “T” extractor fans with automatic vent closure in the event of fire add layers of safety. AC fluorescent lighting and DC LED dome lights brighten every task, and a manual bilge pump with pickup at the lowest point when the vessel is at rest provides resilient redundancy. Domestic water pressure is assured by a high‑volume AC fresh water pressure pump, Headhunter March 5 M5‑115, backed by a 24 V DC Groco PSR 4000004‑24 pump. Climate control arrives via a chilled‑water Cruisair air conditioning system delivering 96,000 BTU, and blue‑water independence is guaranteed with twin Aqua Whisper DX 450 watermakers rated 450 GPD each. An oil‑changing pump serves the engines, generator, and transmissions, while electrical autonomy is driven by Generator 1—Onan QD MDKDS 29 kW 60 Hz—and Generator 2—Onan QD MDKBU 29 kW 60 Hz (option). Hot water is plentiful from twin Torrid 20‑gallon heaters, steering and stabilization are empowered by a hydraulic pump on each main engine feeding thrusters, stabilizers, and steering, and housekeeping is simplified with a Nutone CV352 110 V/220 V central vacuum. An emergency tiller stands ready should the unexpected call for it.

V. Electrical

A robust 110 V/220 V AC electrical backbone pairs with a 24 V DC system to power every mission, supported dockside by twin 75' Glendinning Cablemaster 50‑amp shore cords. Dedicated battery chargers serve the 24 V and 12 V circuits, while an alternator split‑charging system links the house banks under BEP high‑charge regulators to keep reserves optimally maintained. Ship’s service draws from 4 x 255 Ah 12 V gel‑cell sealed batteries, the mains start on 225 Ah gel‑cell sealed batteries x 4, and the genset on a 210 Ah gel‑cell sealed battery x 1. AC sockets are thoughtfully distributed throughout the yacht with GFI protection where required, and a BEP battery select switch streamlines management. The main electrical panel consolidates AC and DC circuit breakers into four panels—engine room, helm, AC, and DC—with automatic backlighting that illuminates as the door opens. An anti‑electrolysis bonding system protects the yacht’s metallic assets, and twin 50‑amp automatic isolating and booster transformers stabilize incoming power. Completing the package are two Onan QD MKKDS 29 kW generators, underscoring electrical autonomy with quiet confidence.

VI. Plumbing system

Designed for cleanliness, reliability, and blue‑water independence, the plumbing suite features a 100‑gallon blackwater holding tank with macerator pump and a “Y” valve for overboard pump‑out when permitted, monitored by a Headhunter holding tank level indicator. A dedicated shower sump manages grey water, marine‑grade lines carry fresh water throughout, and a 350‑gallon stainless steel fresh water tank with sending unit anchors capacity. Sight gauges on both fuel and water tanks simplify quick checks, while a dockside fresh water inlet and color‑coded piping make service intuitive. All through‑hull fittings draw through bronze intake valves, and an overboard discharge manifold minimizes the number of hull penetrations. Fresh water Sealand vacuum toilets elevate hygiene and efficiency. Safety is amplified by six high‑water bilge alarms—covering engine room, forward bilge, and lazarette compartments—with a mimic panel at the helm, and dewatering is assured by six Rule 3700 GPH bilge pumps with float switches and high‑water alarms.

VII. Interior finish

The interior is crafted in a timeless palette of mahogany or cherry, with burr wood accents and ivory lacquer that catch and soften the light, all paired with a curated choice of upholstery fabrics to articulate your personal aesthetic without compromising the yacht’s inherent warmth and sophistication.

VIII. Galley

A seagoing culinary studio, the galley is outfitted with the latest G.E. refrigerator/freezer, cooktop, oven, and a microwave with extractor fan, all anchored by a stainless steel sink and reliable hot and cold water delivery.

Underfoot, select either the warmth of teak or the cool elegance of marble to complete a space that is as practical as it is beautiful.

IX. Saloon

Life unfolds across two levels: an upper saloon with a dedicated dining area and a lower saloon wrapped in a high‑quality leather couch formed into graceful curves. A pneumatic saloon sliding door with push‑button activation and safety sensors ushers you in, where entertainment takes center stage 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 neatly at hand with the main AC/DC control panel, while low‑level 24 V LED lights and 24 V LED ceiling lighting set the perfect ambiance from sunrise to starlight.
