85 JFA Catamaran Yacht [NDSE]

Catamaran: 85 JFA Sailing Catamaran 2018 [NDSE]
Location: Charleston, SC
Asking Price: $7,100,000

NDSE is hull #2 in the Long Island 85 series. In the constant search for weight reduction JFA Yachts paid particular attention to the use of light materials, including laminates on honeycomb cores for the construction of the interior, the hull out of aluminum, a superstructure made of composite, and the Mast and Boom are made of Carbon Fiber. This resulted in a lightship weight of only 56T for this 85' performance, cruising catamaran. Delivered in 2018, NDSE was designed for circumnavigation through both poles, and has already been taken to Antarctica by her current owner. Whether you are cruising in the tropics or the arctic the NDSE is built to make sure you are comfortable and safe in all conditions.

Equipped with a carbon mast and boom, NDSE features a sail plan tailored for high-performance sailing together with hydraulic fittings on the flybridge which ensures she is easily handled, even with a reduced crew. Externally, the yacht offers a large aft cockpit with a relaxing seating area on starboard and a dining table on the port side, together with large sunbathing areas and a daytime toilet. In order to limit the overall weight of the boat, the use of teak was limited to the deck forward of the owner's cabin, the aft cockpit, and the flybridge.

In terms of performance under sail, she is very quick…. The sails were made by the highly respected sailmaker "Incidences" using the latest D4 membrane technology in order to combine form with stability, lightness, and longevity. NDSE achieves 11 knots upwind and 12 knots under gennaker at 90 °, with 15 knots of true wind meaning that she is capable of very good daily averages when cruising.

French interior design house, Darnet Design, created a sophisticated yet understatedly elegant interior using natural tones. The furniture is in oak, contrasted by the addition of walnut with the space enhanced by the addition of multiple soft furnishings in bright colors to lift the entire space to another level and also allowing for an element of customisation by the new owner.
The cockpit flows into the huge main saloon, with a bar on starboard and a more formal dining area on port side. Forward is the chart table which includes all the navigation equipment, significantly upgraded for global exploration by the owner, together with entertainment and excellent communication systems which allow for long stays on board.

The owner's cabin occupies the entire beam of the boat, including a lounge area and large windows which flood the room with light and allow for splendid panoramic views as well as private access to the foredeck.

The port hull accommodates the owner's bathroom, a children's cabin with 3 beds, together with a guest cabin aft. The aft section of the starboard hull accommodates the 4th guest cabin. The forward section is dedicated to the crew with the captain's cabin, a double cabin, and large galley with crew mess.

A 16' tender aft of the cockpit is launched using a Tenderlift platform.

The many exterior lockers offer ample storage for fenders and mooring lines as well as an array of leisure equipment (inflatable longboards, Wakeboard, etc.). NDSE also has a large trunk overlooking the rear platform to store 4 bicycles as well as diving equipment.

This is the most well thought out Cat I have ever seen, This is what Catamarans should be. Very Awesome boat.

[ZarkoMahovic]

Wow!...The best catamaran I've seen! A great tour and very impressive!

[laurentlong]

Wow!...Just wow!...I've seen many catamarans but this one exceed them all in terms of space utilization!

[alisavas]

Probably the best catamaran I've seen! A great tour

[megamilyon]

This is an awsome boat. I love how it was clearly designed to be used by an owner/operator and functional for cruising. Not like so many catamarans that are built for luxury charters. If I had the money I would love a boat like this.

[jamesaron]

Astounded by the layout and features of this yacht! I'm literally floored and cannot understand why so many other manufacturers, even supposedly high-end names, opt for cookie-cutter layouts that don't take the best advantage of all the interior space available. This yacht is brilliantly thought out and the features are incredible. Looks like it can also survive a hurricane with its robust design. Whoever buys this will be very fortunate indeed.

[kingdommindset]

I have to say, this is the best Cat I've seen! What a dream!

[schana]

I've never even been on a boat bigger than 20ft, but for some reason I really love sailing catamarans.

[michaelsasylum]

A catamaran with Jeffries Tubes, my new favorite Catamaran. The accomodations are superb.

[Reegareth]

5:30 Causally a massive submarine in the background lol 😂😂 I had to double take... thought I hadn't seen it right at first.

[MrRebar]

*Denison Yachting* Very nice, thank-you sir for taking the time to show us. God Bless.

[catherinerelandeau]

Splendid presentation, and yes JFA is certainly one of the highest quality builders on the market today ! Congrat the full team

Officially dreaming of spending a couple months on this beautiful catamaran yacht. Bravo to the engineers who designed this magnificent sailing work of art! 🥰😘😊💯

If this can really go through the Drake Passage, then this truly is the best catamaran on earth and one of the best options even for me. Branson's Necker Belle is very luxurious, but can't handle heavy seas. Other Catamarans, like the Garcia and Pelagic, don't even have modest luxury. This is modest luxury, but if the yacht can really go anywhere, then this is a very economical to operate option, even though it is quite expensive at $9 million, a price at which you can find very capable and luxurious motor yachts, but those are very expensive to operate. Other go-anywhere sailing yacht options, like the Trehard 104ft and 120ft ones with a centerboard, twin rudders, engines, screws, and ketch rigs have turned very old. Motor yachts, like the Alucia and other conversions I'd only require to take amphibious aircraft, helicopters, submarines and amphibious vehicles along. This is quite a comfortable economic option. I know it has no pool or Jacuzzi, but the sundeck is quite comfortable and the bars, again, aren't too bad. This isn't a very luxurious option, it's an economical option, without the pools, Jacuzzis, wide-open salons and sprawling sundecks, but at the same price point as the more-expensive-to-operate luxury yachts

[sweetagony]

i love the interior desgin of the ship!! but its soo big!

[kdkuaana]

[randahlbeach]

Cheers from Vancouver, Canada

These days, with sonars, radars, and thermal imagers, you can avoid
icebergs and drifting containers, but can this really withstand the
massive 20ft to 80ft waves around the Drake Passage? Has it
circumnavigated via Cape Horn or the Panama Canal? Has it taken the
North-West Passage?

It has a draft of 7ft, which is quite deep for a catamaran, and a beam
of 40ft, which is quite good for an almost flat superstructure, so the
two, together, should provide it with the same righting ability as a
16ft to 20ft draft on taller mono-hulls, but I don't know how a
composite superstructure or the large glass windows and door, which make
for amazing panoramic views and cool breezes would fare in heavy seas
in terms of wave-impact or overboard deluges. It also has redundant
twin engines, screws, and rudders, which, again, is a major plus. This
is the only luxurious catamaran, albeit only modestly luxurious because
it doesn't have a pool or a large sundeck, but if that luxury has been
sacrificed for a really go-anywhere survivability around Cape Horn, the
sacrifice would be worth it. Has this really traversed Cape Horn?

This is an amazing boat !
Galley up please. The kitchen is a social magnet. Put the Bar and the TV downstairs.

Amazing Cat! One of the best I’ve seen in a long time. When I win the Powerball or Mega millions I’m calling you guys!
