1988 Jongert 2000s for Sale – 66 ft – Imperia, IM, Italy

Stunning Doug Peterson-designed aluminium performance ocean cruising yacht from the legendary Jongert B.V. shipyard in the Netherlands.

FURTHER BROKER’S COMMENTS:

BLUE CACAO is a sporty aluminium ocean cruiser from the legendary Dutch Jongert B.V. shipyard to designs by Doug Peterson and interiors by Peter Sijm. Build number 349 and originally launched as ‘BLUE QUETZAL’, BLUE CACAO was substantially refitted in 2006 and has benefitted from many further updates in recent seasons.

Perfect for short-handed bluewater adventures with or without crew, BLUE CACAO features a comfortable and well-protected central deckhouse with helm station and a further sailing helm position aft. Her powerful Rondal cutter rig is easily managed via hydraulics which also extend to her Lewmar winch package. Tender stowage is on the foredeck, while at the stern, BLUE CACAO features a fantastic hydraulic fold-out bathing platform and folding passarelle. Manoeuvring is dealt with via her 6-cylinder Perkins Sabre engine with Hundested variable pitch propeller and her hydraulic retractable bowthruster. BLUE CACAO can also reach the shallowest of anchorages thanks to her 2.60m draft Scheel keel.

Below decks, BLUE CACAO benefits from a huge aft owner’s suite with french beds and a large ensuite bathroom. Further guest accommodation is forward with mirrored twin bunk cabins, each with an ensuite bathroom, all featuring separate shower cubicles. The forepeak houses a crew cabin with ensuite facilities.

MANUFACTURER’S HISTORY

The Jongert family started by building small motorboats and quickly saw demand grow for vessels that were technologically advanced for the time. The yard continued to build on its excellent reputation and in 1960 launched its first luxury motoryacht. This was followed up a year later with two classes of sailing yachts – the Zwalkers and the Trewes – created in partnership with marine engineering firm Van der Meer and yacht architect Willem de Vries Lentsch. It was these yachts that gave Jongert its definitive breakthrough as a pioneering yard with a global reputation.

Further successes were achieved after Jongert started working with Herbert Dahm in 1969. It was at this time that our renowned slogan – ‘The impossible we can do today. miracles may take a little while longer’ – first came to light. It still underlies today the Jongert yard’s commitment to offering ever greater comfort, enhanced privacy, more luxury and first-class technologies.

In the decades that followed, the yard continued to innovate both with its own design team and in partnership with leading architects and designers such as Doug Peterson, Tony Castro and André Hoek. The Jongert brand name became synonymous with superyachts of the highest quality.
