This 1987 Jongert 78 Motoryacht "Indigo Sea" is a custom, one-of-a-kind, transatlantic motoryacht. It is for the yachtsman that demands the finest. She is available at a very attractive price and ready to explore the world! This 78 Motoryacht "Indigo Sea" represents a rare opportunity to purchase a world-class and world-capable yacht of fantastic comfort and pedigree. She was originally launched at Jongert in 1988 at 71’ and then returned to Jongert in 1995 where the original designer added a larger more comfortable aft deck and new European style transom extension, bringing the yacht to 78’, giving her a much greater cruising range with her additional fuel capacity. Proving herself like few other yachts of her size can, This 1987 Jongert Motoryacht made several transatlantic crossings on her own bottom; approx. 100,000+ nautical miles. Her knowledgeable owners have made many fantastic upgrades and gone to great lengths to ensure all of her systems are in top working order; going through the ship from stem to stern servicing and upgrading. The 1987 Jongert 78 just came out of the yard after another $300,000 refit with upgrades. "Indigo Sea" is a Dutch Quality vessel similar to the likings of Feadship, Amels, and Heesen Yachts. With her updated Naiad Zero speed stabilization system she is more stable and comfortable than one can imagine and the zero speed feature allows you to anchor anywhere in total comfort.

“Indigo Sea” is an incredible vessel. Everywhere you look, you will be amazed by the quality of her
build. The engines are Caterpillar work engines, not typical yacht engines. The generators are
commercial equipment, they run at 1200 RPM, instead of 1800 RPM as the new units do now. Everywhere
you look throughout the yacht; she has massive stainless fittings and you can easily see the quality
built into the entire vessel.
The master stateroom is equipped with an ensuite head; The master bath is spacious with Jacuzzi tub, dual
sinks and large shower, which is aft for complete privacy. The shafts are sealed in oil, then cooled
by sea water. Chances are you have never seen an oil cooled shaft. This is “big ship stuff”. The advantage of this feature
is that it is completely quiet and there’s no salt water damage to the shaft. The naval architect that oversaw the previous owners refit stated that these are normally only found on mega yachts. Full real walkaround decks, oversized anchors, and windlass, flybridge with comfortable seating throughout and room enough for any party. All the staterooms have great ventilation with hatches, screens and dorade vents for fresh air. The salon and pilothouse areas have opening windows and screen doors. The screen doors are a work of art. Important to note that because she was originally built to US SPECS, she is a 60 cycle boat.
Just one small example of the fine quality: the (8) deck chairs, the (4) armchairs and the (2)
Commodore Steamers on the aft deck is made by Barlow Tyrie. These are the finest English teak
chairs (all chairs refinished).
“Indigo Sea” received a fresh bottom paint job in 2021.

HISTORY FROM CURRENT OWNER
The extremely knowledgeable, wealthy yachtsman that built the boat originally had several
production boats. He wanted the finest yacht available that could cross the Atlantic and tour
Europe and the Americas; no expense was spared. He chose Jongert for several reasons:
1. Finest Dutch quality. Dutch then and today, some of the finest builders in the world.
2. Their boats routinely circled the globe.
3. The joinery work is incredibly finished.
4. He wanted a boat with a Lloyd 100A4 certificate. Note that almost all boats built today and
then are “built to ABS or Lloyds standard”. They do not have a certificate. There is no one
from outside to certify that the builder really met these standards when built.
5. He wanted an all aluminum boat, weight saving and great strength.
