⚓ The Evolution of Bluewater Cruising
French shipyard JFA Yachts has officially unveiled their latest masterpiece, the Long Island 87. Measuring 26.25 meters, this vessel represents a significant leap from the previous Long Island 85, specifically engineered for owners seeking autonomous global circumnavigation.
Engineering Excellence
Designed by Marc Lombard Yacht Design Group and Darnet Design, the yacht features an aluminum hull paired with a composite superstructure. This design choice ensures structural integrity while keeping weight optimized. The carbon fiber rig further cements its status as a high-performance cruiser.
🛋️ Living Space and Technical Power
Despite its sleek profile, the 11.75-meter beam provides interior volumes usually reserved for 35-meter yachts. The vessel is powered by twin Cummins QSB 6.7 engines, ensuring reliability in all sea states. Guests enjoy an 180-degree panoramic view from the master suite, while the crew quarters are optimized for professional service under MLC 2006 standards.
“The Long Island 87 is a masterclass in storage and energy management for serious ocean voyagers,” notes SuperYacht Times.
