St-Barth II モーターヨット

Twenty knots of cruise and twenty-eight at full throttle come from a pair of 1,350 hp Volvo Penta IPS pod drives, the engineering that defines St-Barth II as much as her flybridge layout does. St-Barth Yachts built her as the 85 Fly, delivered new in 2025 rather than converted from an older design, and she is offered from Cap-d'Ail.

Build and provenance

St-Barth Yachts built her as the 85 Fly, a flybridge motor yacht on a monohull, sold as new stock rather than a resale carrying someone else's hours. At sixty-three gross tonnes across twenty-six metres, with a beam of 6.3 metres and a draft of 1.7 metres, she pairs enough beam for a stable ride with a shallow draft of 1.7 metres that keeps skinny-water anchorages within reach.

Layout and accommodation

Eight guests sleep in four cabins, with three crew aboard to run her, a ratio that suits a family or a small group who want a crewed boat without a large complement living aboard.

Performance and engineering

Twin 1,350 hp Volvo Penta IPS 1350 pod drives give St-Barth II a 20-knot cruise and a 28-knot top speed, figures that put her closer to a fast planing yacht than a slow-turning flybridge cruiser. IPS pod propulsion is built for fuel efficiency and manoeuvrability at the dock as much as outright pace, so the same drives that deliver the top end also make her easy to bring alongside.

On deck and at anchor

A jacuzzi on deck and a swimming platform put the water within easy reach at anchor, and underwater lights extend that into the evening. A teppanyaki grill on board turns an afternoon stop into a cooking deck rather than just a place to swim.

Where she lies and how to see her

St-Barth II lies at Cap-d'Ail, on the French coast. We arrange viewings there and go along to them, and once an offer is accepted, a survey and sea trial are scheduled before handover. As new stock rather than a resale, she comes to that survey without a history to account for.
