ANNA J - Oceanco FOR SALE

ANNA J is a distinguished OCEANCO superyacht and luxury motor yacht, refitted with a 4-meter stern extension, engine overhaul, and new stabilizers. The extension creates a flexible aft platform for a beach club or dive hub. Her MTU engines have under 25 hours since a W5-Plus overhaul, and she is fully stabilized. With a five-year ABS survey complete, ANNA J offers outstanding value and scope for bespoke interior refinement.

Overview

An experienced yacht owner acquired ANNA J, brought her to Holland, and immediately initiated a deep, methodical refit encompassing mechanical and exterior works, a complete repaint from masthead to keel, and a professionally executed extension that is now finished. The 4-meter extension, built by Dutch Shipyard Van Noorloos under the supervision of naval architects Van Dorrestejn Design and to ABS Class oversight, gifts ANNA J a beautifully balanced profile and creates a versatile aft zone for a future owner to interpret as a beach club or dive center, with ample space for dining or gearing up to dive. From the tip of her new communications mast to the bottom of her keel, every surface and system has been painted, inspected, repaired, or replaced; the engine room now gleams with new and freshly serviced machinery, a complete transformation from her pre-refit condition. Comfort is assured by 4 x new Sea Gyro gyro stabilizers concealed within the extension for serene stability at anchor, complemented by Naiad fin stabilizers for smooth motion underway—definitive markers of the refit’s quality. Her MTU 16V396 TE94 main engines have received a comprehensive W5-Plus overhaul and show around 25 hours since rebuild. Inside, there remains scope for personalization, with the galley well placed for an upgrade and the crew area due a refresh. A pedigree OCEANCO superyacht, ANNA J now presents a finely resolved profile, and—crucially—her extension was engineered so she remains under 50 m and 500 GT. Fully stabilized (both fin and gyro) for maximum comfort, with MTU mains showing minimal hours since W5+, freshly through a 5-year ABS survey, and boasting true Dutch pedigree, ANNA J stands as the best value proposition in today’s market, with owners ready to listen to sensible offers.
