Long Island 87 机动游艇

Fifteen years of collaboration between JFA Yachts and Marc Lombard Yacht Design Group sit behind the Long Island 87, a design built on the yard's three decades of experience in long-range cruising boats. JFA is building this hull now, for delivery in 2028, in Concarneau. That pedigree counts most before a hull is finished, when a buyer is weighing the yard's record rather than the boat herself.

Build and provenance

She is built in aluminium, with glass-epoxy infusion composite used through the structure, and classed to the load-line rules the yard designs her under. At sixty tonnes light, Marc Lombard drew a hull engineered to run efficiently rather than simply carry weight, the kind of lighter displacement the yard says brings higher average speeds and lower fuel use over a long passage. Below, the joinery mixes light and dark woods, a modern take on JFA's usual cabinetry.

Layout and accommodation

Long Island 87 sleeps eight guests across four cabins, with a crew of four looking after them in quarters of their own, apart from the guest deck. That ratio, one crew member for every two guests, suits an owner planning weeks at sea rather than a single afternoon out.

Performance and engineering

Two 380 hp Yanmar 6LY3 engines drive her, paired with two Onan 23 kW generators for hotel power at anchor or under way. Her tanks hold 2,641 gallons of fuel and 422 gallons of fresh water, capacity built for the extended cruising JFA designs her range for, rather than for a week between marinas. A sixteen-foot tender launched from a telescopic pole in the boom rounds out what she carries for going ashore.

Where she lies and how to see her

Long Island 87 is being built in Concarneau, France, and lies at the JFA yard until her 2028 delivery. We arrange a visit to see her construction in person, and once a build slot is secured with an accepted offer, survey and sea trial follow in the usual order before handover.
