JULE - PACIFIC MARINER FOR SALE

Poised and powerful, this 2005 luxury motor yacht measures a commanding 85 feet overall with a broad 21-foot beam, its Bill Gardner–shaped hull carrying the timeless poise of a true bluewater cruiser. Handcrafted in composite fiberglass with matching fiberglass decks, the yacht marries strength, efficiency, and a whisper‑quiet ride, while twin MTU inboard diesels deliver the kind of serene, confident thrust that makes long passages a pleasure. With an impressively generous 2,400‑gallon fuel capacity and thoughtfully balanced tankage, she invites extended exploration along the American coastline and far beyond, her United States berth making inspections effortless for discerning buyers.

Step inside to a salon of generous volume and natural light, where refined joinery and elegant soft goods create a calm, contemporary envelope for entertaining or unhurried family time. The flow between salon, dining, and a well‑equipped, chef‑friendly galley is seamless, and privacy is paramount thanks to a versatile accommodations plan highlighted by five beautifully finished heads and discreet, separate crew quarters with two cabins for impeccable service. Every journey is supported by ample storage, climate comfort, and the reassuring silence of a solid, quality build, so that conversations and sunsets take center stage.

On deck, the wide beam translates to expansive lounging and effortless movement from the shaded aft social cockpit to sun‑kissed forward spaces, all conceived for alfresco living at sea. Sea‑kindly proportions, deep reserves of power, and practical capacities—including 425 gallons of freshwater—underscore her role as a true motor yacht on a superyacht scale, equally at home on a weekend escape or an ambitious coastal passage. Presented in the United States and offered with uncommon flexibility, will accept clean trades!

Vessel overview

Stepping aboard via the new boarding ladder and optional aft gates, you are welcomed onto a spacious aft deck designed for alfresco entertaining, where a large teak dining table encircled by seating sets an elegant stage for outdoor meals and is complemented by a discreet drop-down television for open-air enjoyment. Full Burmese teak decking flows from the aft deck across the flybridge, side decks, and foredeck, imparting a rich, luxurious character rarely found on this model. Forward, the foredeck lounge invites relaxation at anchor with generous cushioned seating.

Through stainless steel sliding doors, the expansive salon unfolds in a warm, elegant ambiance with panoramic aft views. An L-shaped sofa pairs with two barrel swivel chairs around a custom high-low cocktail and dining table, while a walk-behind bar with icemaker and wine cooler elevates onboard hospitality. A retractable television disappears at a touch to preserve sightlines to the sea, and a formal dining area comfortably accommodates six to eight guests. This open layout enables seamless entertaining between the salon, aft deck, and formal dining area.

Galley and pilothouse

Three steps forward lead to the integrated galley, settee, and pilothouse level, a highly social hub where guests can gather as meals are prepared. The large peninsula-style galley is appointed with full-size appliances, a new refrigerator (2025), a Miele dishwasher (2025), and a new water filtration system, while three custom Crown Cantilever bar stools and a casual forward settee invite relaxed dining and conversation. The pilothouse features two custom Stidd helm chairs and a full suite of modern navigation electronics, including Simrad chart plotters, HALO radar, autopilot, and dual VHF radios, with side deck access through port and starboard doors for excellent visibility and effortless operation.

Accommodations

The full-beam master stateroom, accessed via a private staircase, rivals those found on yachts in the 110–120 ft range. Appointments include a California king berth, walk-in closets, generous storage and drawer space, an office desk with bookshelves, and abundant natural light through large portlights. The ensuite head features dual sinks and a spacious shower.

A separate staircase leads to three additional guest cabins. The forward VIP stateroom offers a queen berth with an ensuite, while the starboard aft VIP mirrors this arrangement with its own queen and ensuite. To port, the twin guest cabin presents side-by-side berths with an ensuite. All staterooms now feature premium Zeno mattresses (2025).

For privacy, the crew quarters are located aft with two crew cabins accommodating three to four crew, sharing a head with a separate shower.

Flybridge

The flybridge is designed for both operation and entertaining, bringing together Stidd helm seating with a guest bench and duplicate navigation electronics for confident command, while guests relax on a large L-shaped dining settee surrounding a high-gloss teak table. A walk-up bar with bar stools serves as the social hub, supported by multiple refrigerators and freezers to keep provisions perfectly chilled, and additional curved lounge seating invites conversation and sunlit repose. Aft, the expansive boat deck with tender storage extends the lifestyle; once the tender is launched, the boat deck easily converts into a large entertaining space.

Mechanical and performance

Powered by MTU engines, JULE delivers confident performance with a cruising speed of approximately 18 knots. The machinery has been meticulously maintained, including a major MTU W4 service in 2021, new cylinder heads, new turbos, and renewed fuel and thermal management components comprising injectors and injection pumps, charge air coolers, oil coolers, and fuel coolers. In 2025 the mechanical program advanced further with new injector pumps, replacement of turbo wastegate actuators, a comprehensive coolant service, detailed alternator inspections, and complete oil and filter services. Comfort and poise underway or at anchor are assured by Humphree Zero Speed Stabilizers with Interceptors installed in 2020 and serviced in 2025.
