Jack of Hearts

Dark walnut runs through Jack of Hearts, from the high-gloss cabinetry to the wood flooring in the saloon, carried from room to room rather than kept for a single showpiece space. Galeon built her in 2020, a flybridge motor yacht designed so the joinery reads as one idea rather than a string of upgrades. At 72 feet she has the presence to carry that scale of finish without the layout feeling crowded.

Build and provenance

Galeon built her as a flybridge motor yacht with a fibreglass hull and a planing hull form, registered under the American flag. A luxury pack and a comfort pack were specified from new, the kind of options fitted for a yacht bought to be lived aboard rather than moved quickly between marinas.

Layout and accommodation

Four cabins sleep eight guests, with heads fitted to the master, guest and bow cabins rather than shared along one corridor. A crew of two run the boat from their own quarters, small enough that an owner can still choose full service without a large team aboard. Wooden shutters carry the saloon's high-gloss finish through the rest of the interior.

Performance and engineering

Two MAN V8-1200 engines settle Jack of Hearts into a 24-knot cruise, with 32 knots on hand flat out, closing distance between anchorages rather than a slow displacement pace. A gyro stabiliser smooths the ride underway, and a stern thruster with joystick control, backed by dynamic positioning, makes close-quarters docking a one-person job.

On deck and at anchor

The flybridge carries its own grill, set up for lunch at anchor without sending anyone below.

Where she lies and how to see her

Jack of Hearts lies in Dania Beach, in the United States, where we can put her in front of a buyer for a viewing at short notice. Boatcrowd attends every viewing rather than handing you a key and an address, and if an offer is accepted, her survey and sea trial come next.
