Walkthrough

This is a fresh new-build opportunity based on the 2021 Johnson 80, delivered in May 2022, and can be fully tailored to your specification. Boarding is effortless via the broad swim platform or through midship port and starboard side entry doors that open to generous walkaround side decks. The fully covered aft deck welcomes you with a wide bench seat and a height-adjustable varnished teak table, while port and starboard safety gates flank the steps down to the swim platform, crew quarters, and engine room. Portside steps rise to the flybridge as a discreet starboard docking station stands ready for close-quarters maneuvering, and a flip-down Sony TV tucks neatly into the overhead. A sliding three-panel glass door ushers you into the salon, where an L-shaped settee to port, two large easy chairs, a coffee table, and two ottomans create a lounge-like retreat. To starboard, a stone-topped cabinet with nine doors conceals abundant storage or a 55" Sony pop-up TV. A half-step up reveals a welcoming country kitchen: a full galley to port complemented by a center island, an expansive dinette, a convenient day head, and interior stairs to the flybridge. A starboard side deck door provides practical access for docking duties or loading provisions. Below, the accommodations unfold with a private full-beam master aft featuring a unique starboard-side head and a settee to port. A laundry center anchors the centerline companionway forward, with a double-berth suite to port, a twin-berth suite to starboard, and the private VIP with a queen berth all the way forward. Above, the flybridge features a centerline helm and helm seat, U-shaped seating with a table to port, and a full bar to starboard; with the tender stowed below, the boat deck opens up an array of entertaining possibilities. The double crew cabin is accessed from the swim platform and includes a full head, with forward access to the engine room.

Salon

Entered through the three-panel sliding glass door, the salon is fully carpeted and finished in shimmering high-gloss joinery, a perfectly balanced composition of rich woods and refined fabrics. Immediately to port, two generously upholstered Bernhardt club chairs face forward, while a custom six-cushion sofa with storage beneath runs forward along the port side. Between chairs and sofa, a cabinet houses the salon air handler and abundant storage, with an elegant corner mirror above to amplify light. A high-gloss coffee table with a diffused glass top anchors the seating group, with two Bernhardt upholstered stools—each with hidden storage—set opposite. To starboard, the entertainment center features a Cambria quartz top, nine cabinet doors for ample stowage, a pop-up 55" Sony TV, an Onkyo AV receiver, and a Pioneer Blu-ray player. Large side windows are dressed with Hunter Douglas pleated shades and accented by stylish sconce lights, while the aft three-panel door is framed by fully lined drapery. Overhead, a striking ceiling feature centers the room with nine LED lights; elsewhere six additional LEDs, a five-channel Bose speaker system, and digital A/C controls complete the ambiance.

Galley

Half a step up, the open-plan galley flows into an expansive dinette, with the L-shaped working area to port appointed for serious culinary ambition. A Cambria countertop crowns the workspace, while a Myanmar quartz teak sole grounds the room in warm texture. A two-level island with two Bernhardt upholstered stools becomes the social heart of the space. Appliances include a GE stainless two-door refrigerator with in-door water and ice, a GE Profile stainless built-in oven, a Kitchenaid four-burner glass cooktop with adjustable-zone sizing, a GE Profile stainless microwave tucked neatly behind a wood door, and a deep single-basin stainless sink with a pull-out spray faucet. A GE Profile stainless dishwasher and Bosch slide-out hood ventilation make cleanup and ventilation effortless. Storage abounds with twelve wood cabinet doors and five wood drawers. Over the island, a high-gloss wood ceiling detail with two LED lights adds a bespoke touch, supported by digital A/C controls and ten additional LED lights throughout. Wedgewood dinnerware for eight and stainless steel flatware for eight are thoughtfully provided.

Dining area

Two steps up and forward, framed by Johnson’s signature ten-panel wraparound vertical windows, the dining area feels bright and architectural. Each window is dressed with a Hunter Douglas pleated shade and accented by a sconce on every mullion. An L-shaped nine-cushion settee with storage beneath delivers generous seating, facing a height-adjustable Cambria quartz dining table. A 43" Sony TV serves the dinette and remains easily visible from the galley. Overhead, a recessed ceiling detail with a crystal fixture and four LED lights adds a touch of glamour. This area is carpeted, climate-controlled via digital A/C, and enriched by two in-ceiling stereo speakers.

Main deck companionway

This nexus space gathers eight teak steps leading to the flybridge, a starboard side deck door for practical egress, the yacht’s main AC and DC electrical panels, and the stairs that descend to the lower-deck accommodations.

Day head

Forward on the main deck to starboard, the day head showcases a Cambria quartz sole and countertop, a wood vanity with an undermount sink, a single-lever faucet, and two mirrors, with a Tecma toilet for reliable performance. The mirrored overhead and upscale wall coverings elevate the finish, while the window features a pull-down privacy shade. Four LED lights illuminate the space.

Lower companionway

At the base of eight graceful curved steps, a cabinet encloses a separate Electrolux washer and dryer, topped by a Cambria quartz counter and flanked by four linen lockers. Aft and down one step lies the master suite; forward to port is the double-berth cabin, starboard the twin cabin, and forward up three steps the VIP.

Master cabin

Entered from the centerline forward, the full king-size berth is set off the aft bulkhead, crowned by a beveled mirror above an upholstered headboard. Overhead, a mother-of-pearl ceiling feature hosts six dimmable LED lights. The berth incorporates four drawers and cavernous storage beneath the mattress, which lifts on gas shocks, with LED rope lighting along the toe kick; matching two-drawer nightstands with Cambria tops flank the bed, each with a sconce fixed to mother-of-pearl wall fabric. To port, a cabinet discreetly houses the yacht’s At Rest stabilizer actuator beneath a Cambria quartz top, followed by a two-person settee with storage below and further forward a Cambria-topped chest with six drawers; on the forward bulkhead, a cedar-lined, auto-lit hanging locker faces aft. To starboard, a wood-topped vanity and stool create a private dressing area.

Master head

Spanning most of the portside beam, the open-plan en suite can be secluded at will by two sliding pocket doors. A wood vanity with four doors supports a Cambria quartz countertop with twin Villeroy & Boch above-counter basins facing a large hullside window with a privacy shade; the sole matches the countertop, and the mirrored overhead holds six LED lights. Forward, a clear-glass door reveals a Tecma toilet and a three-shelf locker; aft, another clear-glass door opens to a large shower with a seat, an opening porthole with a shade, and a handheld or wall-mountable shower fixture. Both rooms feature mirrored ceilings, exhaust fans, and three LED lights. The master suite itself is carpeted, climate-controlled via digital A/C, and appointed with a 32" Sony TV and a Fusion AV 750 AM/FM/CD/DVD player; Hunter Douglas shades dress the large portside hull windows. Above are ten additional LED lights and two stereo speakers.

Double berth portside cabin

Entered from the aft end, this cozy retreat places a double berth outboard with a three-panel upholstered headboard. Inboard, a two-drawer nightstand with a Cambria quartz top sits beneath three mirrored panels and a sconce above. The berth includes two drawers below and LED rope lighting in the toe kick. Outboard, a wood shelf serves as an additional nightstand, and two opening stainless portholes sit behind a Hunter Douglas pleated shade. At the foot of the berth, a cedar-lined, auto-lit hanging locker integrates a Fusion AV 750 AM/FM/CD/DVD player, with access below to the cabin’s air handler. On the aft bulkhead, the en suite entrance is paired above with a Sony 24" TV.

Portside guest cabin head

Cambria quartz defines both sole and countertop, with a wood vanity and cabinet below. Above, an overmount Villeroy & Boch sink with a single-lever faucet pairs with a mirror and an inset niche featuring a stainless opening porthole with a shade.

Above each, sets of three upholstered panels are separated by three mirrored panels and a central sconce; below sits a Cambria quartz-topped two-door nightstand. Each berth provides two drawers beneath with LED rope lighting at the toe kick. Outboard of the outer berth, two opening stainless portholes are shaded by Hunter Douglas pleats. Aft, an auto-lit cedar-lined hanging locker with a Fusion AV 750 AM/FM/CD/DVD player keeps personal effects organized. At the foot of the berth, the en suite entrance sits below a 24" Sony TV. Eight LED overhead lights brighten the cabin.

Starboard guest head

The stall shower features a clear glass door, handheld or wall-mounted fixture, lighting, and an exhaust fan. The Tecma toilet completes the arrangement. The mirrored overhead integrates three LED lights and an A/C vent.

VIP cabin

All the way forward, the private VIP presents a queen-size centerline berth set off the forward bulkhead, its upholstered headboard flanked by two gooseneck reading lights. Two drawers beneath face aft, with LED rope lighting tracing the toe kick for a warm nighttime glow. On either side of the berth, Cambria quartz-topped shelves incorporate four drawers and a cabinet below on each side. Aft to starboard, an auto-lit cedar-lined hanging locker pairs with a vanity featuring a hinged Cambria top, a stool tucked below, and a Sony 32" TV mounted above. A Fusion AV 750 AM/FM/CD/DVD player, stereo speakers, digital A/C controls, an overhead deck hatch, and a private head entrance complete the suite.

VIP head

The VIP head continues the Cambria quartz motif underfoot and across the countertop. A high-gloss vanity with two doors supports a refined china basin above. Overhead, two mirrored medicine cabinet doors accompany a vast side window with shades, and a Tecma toilet provides reliability. The stall shower features a clear glass door, a seat, a handheld or wall-mounted fixture, an exhaust fan, and lighting within the mirrored overhead. The space includes three LED lights and an A/C vent in the mirrored ceiling.

Foredeck

The foredeck is clad in teak over fiberglass and equipped for serious cruising, beginning with a stainless steel anchor chute with roller, a chain stopper, and 250' of galvanized 3/8" chain rode led to a Maxwell hydraulic windlass RC-12-12/Hyd. Convenient up-and-down foot switches govern the windlass, while a stainless steel 130 lb anchor stands ready. Wide oval stainless handrails, stainless cleats and fairleads, and four low-level courtesy lights enhance safety and ambiance. Two hinged anchor locker hatches open to practical storage, and both fresh-water and salt-water washdown spigots are at hand, along with a remote corded windlass control. A deck hatch opens into the VIP cabin, while a sun pad with Sunbrella cushions invites lounging, protected by a dedicated stainless handrail. For awareness, a forward-looking Lorex CCTV camera watches the bow. Large built-in dunnage boxes are integrated into both port and starboard cabin sides, and a removable bow pennant staff completes the arrangement.

Side deck

The side decks feature teak over fiberglass underfoot with eight low-level courtesy lights and eight overhead courtesy lights guiding the way. A starboard Pantograph door offers secure, watertight access, while two outward-opening hull-side doors ease boarding. Protection comes via a stainless-steel rub rail with rubber insert and medium-tinted safety glass along the superstructure. International LED navigation lights ensure visibility, and dual spring-line cleats port and starboard simplify line handling. Water tank fills are located on both sides behind hinged doors, with Delta T–style engine room vents integrated into the house. Hinged access doors port and starboard service the fuel fills.

Aft deck

Aft, the teak-over-fiberglass deck welcomes with a manually operated three-panel door to the salon—two panels sliding to port—and built-in seating with removable cushions and covers. Five low-level LED courtesy lights set the mood, while eight teak-tread steps to the flybridge—each with its own step light—rise gracefully. A fold-down Sony 32" TV to port faces the settee. Starboard-side aft deck engine controls include start/stop, horn, and thruster functions for confident docking. Twin stainless steel hinged gates lead to the swim platform, with two steps down port and starboard, each flight lit by three step lights. The platform itself includes a 42" fixed section and a 69" hydraulically operated section rated for 1500 lb, plus an Armstrong four-step pull-out swim ladder to starboard. Amenities include an SSI hot/cold shower, a Flojet salt-water washdown pump and spigot, and a fresh-water spigot. For serious handling, two Maxwell 24-volt VC2500 stern capstans hide beneath hinged FRP covers with convenient foot switches. Four Ocean LED underwater lights in blue add dramatic flair. Corner fairleads at the transom serve stern or side-deck lines, and an emergency escape hatch provides egress from the crew area. Shore-water service is via a Jabsco inlet with pressure regulator. Both aft-facing and forward-facing Lorex CCTV cameras enhance awareness, while nine overhead LED lights and two Fusion stereo speakers complete this alfresco salon.

Flybridge

The flybridge features nonskid fiberglass decking and an Aritex helm seat with a Sunbrella cover. To port, a raised three-person seat improves visibility, while a U-shaped settee with storage below, removable cushions and cover, and a teak-topped table forms the social core. Stainless guard rails and grab rails add security, complemented by four low-level LED courtesy lights and LED rope lighting in the toe kicks. To starboard, a two-level bar with a Cambria quartz countertop includes a sink and storage, supported by an Isotherm refrigerator and Isotherm icemaker. A drop-down 32" Sony TV faces the settee. Twenty-two LED overhead lights ensure perfect illumination. A removable X-step ladder provides access to the coach roof, beneath an FRP hardtop with an FRP arch and stainless supports. Entertainment is via a Fusion AV 750 AM/FM/CD/DVD stereo and four Fusion speakers. A stainless-and-Plexi Venturi windscreen deflects the breeze, and a hinged hatch to the lower deck includes a stainless safety rail. A 12,000 BTU Cruisair A/C unit cools the helm, an aft removable stainless flag staff adds a classic note, and a seven-step removable stainless ladder to the coach roof stores neatly under the dinette.

Helm equipment

At the helm, two Garmin 17" multifunction displays consolidate radar, plotter, depth, and CCTV, paired with a 22" stainless steel wheel. A Head Hunter TX-3000 series LED fuel gauge, VDO rudder angle indicator, and Ritchie magnetic compass provide essential readouts. Communications and awareness are ensured by two Garmin VHF radios, Garmin AIS, and a Garmin Reactor autopilot system. Two Boning 6.5" LED MAN engine screens monitor propulsion, while Advantix single-lever engine controls deliver precise throttle and shift. A Maxwell windlass control with chain counter, ACR URP 102 searchlight control, and Sea-Fire helm-ready indicator add confidence. Two 4" Garmin multi-instruments and a Garmin dual card reader add flexibility, complemented by a Fusion MS-RA70N stereo. Two emergency shut-down switches and two A/C vents are at hand. Side Power stabilizer controls with LED screen, key start/stop switches, and a Sunbrella helm cover complete the station.

Crew area

Accessed via a Pantograph door in the transom and a short four-step ladder, the crew area is smartly organized. The common space includes an Isotherm refrigerator and GE microwave flanked by three storage cabinets; the teak sole and five LED lights bring warmth and clarity. To starboard, the crew cabin offers twin athwartship berths separated by a double, auto-lit hanging locker, with three drawers below and access to the area’s A/C handler. Each berth enjoys a gooseneck LED reading light; outboard of the forward berth, an opening stainless porthole brings in sea air, while outboard of the aft berth, a two-shelf storage locker and a Fusion MS-RA70N stereo add comfort. Above the aft berth, an escape hatch leads to the aft deck, bathed in light from five LEDs. The crew head spans the beam and features a three-cabinet vanity, a Cambria quartz countertop with an undermount sink and single-lever faucet, and six cabinet doors framing an opening stainless porthole with a shade. The stall shower includes a clear glass door, handheld or wall-mountable fixture, an exhaust fan, and a light in the mirrored ceiling. The head’s sole matches the countertop, and the mirrored overhead integrates two LED lights and an A/C vent. Outboard to port, a utility locker houses an auxiliary 9 KW Kohler generator and a 50-amp 220-volt Cablemaster.

Coach roof equipment

On the coach roof, navigation and signaling gear includes a Garmin 6' open-array HD radar XHD2, two 8' VHF antennas on ratchet mounts, and one 8' AIS antenna on a ratchet mount. A stainless steel light mast, Garmin wind instrument, and a Buell Triplex air horn add capability, while an ACR RCL 100 LED remote-control searchlight stands by. Three GPS sensors and two mounting pads for SAT domes complete the installation.

Electrical

The yacht’s electrical architecture is robust and thoroughly organized: a 12/24-volt DC system complements a 110/220-volt AC system at 60 Hz, with color-coded wiring and a galvanic bonding system throughout. Italian Vimar switches and receptacles are fitted system-wide. Shore power is handled by a 220-volt, 50-amp Glendinning Cablemaster with an 85' cord, augmented by a second 50-amp power inlet at the transom.

Engine room equipment

The engine room is comprehensively insulated for sound, accessed through a heavy-duty insulated door with a window, and fitted with stainless grab rails flanking each engine. Ten LED overhead lights ensure visibility, while four ventilation blowers with automatic shutoff tie into the fire system. Steering is by Sea Star hydraulic, with engine loads carried on flexible mounts atop stainless engine beds bonded to FRP stringers. Stabilization is by a Side Power At Rest hydraulic system with port and starboard hydraulic pumps off the transmissions and a 5.5 KW electric motor for zero-speed stabilization, complemented by Side Power hydraulic bow and stern thrusters. A dedicated air compressor powers the Buell air horns. Each engine benefits from dual MAN fuel filters; the 39 KW generator is protected by dual Racor 550 filters, and the 9 KW generator by a single Racor 500. An oil-change system services mains, generator, and gears. Fuel-tank sight gauges, a stainless water tank with a Head Hunter gauge, a Head Hunter Mach 5 house water pump, and a Head Hunter 24V X-Caliber backup water pump keep fluids in check. Hot water is supplied by two Seaward stainless 20-gallon heaters, with an epoxy-wrapped exhaust system and a hot-water circulation pump ensuring quiet comfort. A 900 GPD Parker Aqua Whisper watermaker is mounted above the port engine with a commercial pre-filter and oil/water separator. Sanitation includes two holding tanks with Sealand macerator pumps, a Y-valve, and a Tecma toilet system, with four sump pumps serving the showers and a Sealand holding tank vent for proper breathing. Bilge protection comprises seven Rule 24V bilge pumps, seven high-water bilge alarms, and a Par/Jabsco hand bilge pump in the engine room. Climate is maintained by two 60,000 BTU chilled-water Cruisair compressors with digital Logic control. Fire protection includes a Sea Fire automatic shutdown system NFD-1700 145 lb with an integral helm alarm and smoke detectors in each cabin. Two exhaust gas separators serve the generators, while two MAN start/stop LED gauge panels and computer controls provide engine oversight. Two engine room CCTV cameras improve visibility. Underwater exhaust with stern bypass, high-density foam stringers, tunnels for reduced draft, and five-blade bronze propellers complete the engineering.

Interior notes

Karen Lynn Interior Design LLC curated the décor for a previous hull—visible in the listing photos—crafting a look precisely attuned to American tastes. The brief blended high-gloss Padauk, from the mahogany family, in several grain patterns with Cambria stonework, mosaic glass tile, sumptuous Kravet fabrics, and refined Bernhardt furniture, supported by a full drawing presentation. The results are unequivocally stunning, with every visitor praising the detail, design, and execution.

Remarks

It would be hard to find a more beautifully finished and better-equipped 80' motor yacht anywhere near the asking price of the JOHNSON 80. She offers four en suite cabins plus crew, hydraulic At Rest stabilizers, bow and stern thrusters, and a heavy-duty swim platform for tender storage. Powerful 1550 HP MANs push her to a 25-knot top speed. Price is FOB Taiwan. Neither duty nor tariffs are included in the price.
