Jongert 78 Motor Yacht

Additional Units Included

• 2022 GAL

OVERVIEW

 4 Umbrellas is an incredible ship. Everywhere you look, you will be amazed at 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, not 1800 RPM as the new units do now. Everywhere you look thought the yacht she has massive stainless fittings and you can easily see the quality built into the entire vessel.

The master stateroom with ensuite head is amazing. The master bath is huge with Jacuzzi tub, dual sinks and large shower, being aft and totally private. The shafts are sealed in oil and then cooled by sea water, which is an amazing feature. Almost all boats have shafts that are cooled by sea water. Chances are you have never seen an oil cooled shaft. This is “big ship stuff”. The advantage is complete quiet and no salt water damage to the shaft. Her current owners have slept in the master stateroom many times while running, and say they could've been staying in the “Four Seasons”. The naval architect that oversaw the current owners refit stated that these are normally only found on megayachts. Full real walkaround decks, oversized anchors and windlass, flybridge with comfortable seating throughout and room enough for any party.

It’s impossible to turn off the generators at anchor on most other Yachts of this size due to the power demand for household type appliances and poor ventilation. This is one of the few ships of this size that can be a “Dead Ship”. A term often used when anchoring out with all 110/220V power off; windows, hatches, doors, and ports open for ventilation. The ship has a massive battery room with 9 new batteries that weigh approx. 450 pounds each. With the use of the large inverter system and huge battery bank, the SubZero refrigeration/freezer and other systems allow everything to keep proper temperature for longer periods of time. All the staterooms have great ventilation with hatches, screens and dorades 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 for an American owner, she is a 60 cycle boat.

Just one small example of the fine quality: the (8) deck chairs, the (4) arm chairs and the (2) Commodore Steamers on the aft deck are made by Barlow Tyrie. These are the finest English teak chairs (all chairs refinished).

4 Umbrellas received a fresh bottom paint job in March 2019. See a complete list of additional updates in the "UPGRADES" section of the listing specifications.

The expansive Foredeck has built-in seating on the forward cabintop with comfortable backrest and storage below each seat, along with storage cabinets both port and starboard. This is another lovely private entertaining or sunbathing area.

FLYBRIDGE

• The flybridge is reached via a steepish stairway from the bridge. There is a full helm station on the flybridge, large seating area with cushions, and a large storage lockers aft of the seating (with cushions perfect for getting sun). One of these storage lockers contains the 2x 8D battery bank (24v) for emergency power to navigation and radio gear.
• The aft end of the upper deck is where the hydraulic crane and tender are stored. The tender is from 2022 and is an aluminum Gala rib with a 70hp Yamaha engine. The crane allows easy launching of the tender on the port side.

• Forward of the salon on the port side is the galley, complete with large subzero fridge, microwave, cooktop, oven and dishwasher. Again there is plenty of storage and is a very workable galley. There is also a drop down panel that can separate the galley from the dining area.
• Forward of the salon on the starboard side is the large dining area with wrap-around seating. This area can easily seat 8 people.
• Moving forward further on the main deck is the day head. This is also directly behind the main helm/bridge area so is perfect for the on watch person.
• The helm area (bridge) is full beam with port and starboard sliding side doors allowing easy access to the side decks. With both doors open, it is very easy to pop your head out either side to check on docking. The bridge also has seating and a table on the aft port side. There is an extension and mattress section stored in the VIP cabin to turn this seating area into a small berth.
• The aft deck is a great place for drinks and dinner. The large teak table can easily seat 8 people. We store seating in the lazerette while offshore.
• The foredeck has a bench area with storage, perfect for lines. There is also the anchor gear near the boat, 2 large 24v windlasses with capstans for the port and starboard anchors.

HISTORY FROM PREVIOUS 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:

Finest Dutch quality. Dutch then and today, some of the finest builders in the world.
Even though they were sailboat builders, their boats routinely circled the globe.
The joinery work is incredibly finished.
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.
He wanted an all aluminum boat, weight saving and great strength.
The boat was launched in 1988 at 71’ as LADY MARION. After two Atlantic crossings, he returned to Jongert in 1996 to lengthen the boat to approximately 80’. At that time, there was an extensive costly refit of the entire boat. The refit involved all systems. The added length was to:

Add 2,000 gallons of fuel capacity.
Have a larger, more comfortable aft deck to enjoy dining and entertaining.
Have a euro stern for easy access to the tender and water.
The boat crossed the Atlantic two more times on her own bottom. In approx. 2003, he went to Royal Huisman for another major refit. He went to Royal Huisman because he wanted to see the quality of the refit work. Obviously convinced of the workmanship, he ordered a 120’ Yacht “Arcadia” that could circle the globe. (Arcadia was launched in 2006).

Per the original owner, "LADY MARION never let us down, with all the cruising, and with all the remote spots we visited”.

She was then sold to a gentleman from Palm Beach in 2007. He made a few trips to the Bahamas and kept her in Palm Beach at the Brazilian docks. He spent approximately $500,000 on various upgrades and had a full time crew of two. Her current owner purchased the boat in early 2012.

GRAND CRU was purchased after an extensive search to take her current owner & family through the Caribbean, then to cross the Atlantic and cruise Europe for several years. The refit was done with an open checkbook as described in detail. The current owners are now ready for a much larger yacht, 5 staterooms and crew quarters for 4, to allow them to cruise with more of their family, 4 children and 6 grandchildren.

Main Deck

• The salon opens to the aft deck through large beautiful sliding doors, complete with separate sliding screen doors (great for bug issues). The salon has a large starboard side built in couch, seat, and coffee table. Along the port side is a large amount of storage, a flatscreen on a riser mechanism, and a bar area.
• Forward of the salon on the port side is the galley, complete with large subzero fridge, microwave, cooktop, oven and dishwasher. Again there is plenty of storage and is a very workable galley. There is also a drop down panel that can separate the galley from the dining area.
• Forward of the salon on the starboard side is the large dining area with wrap-around seating. This area can easily seat 8 people.
• Moving forward further on the main deck is the day head. This is also directly behind the main helm/bridge area so is perfect for the on watch person.
• The helm area (bridge) is full beam with port and starboard sliding side doors allowing easy access to the side decks. With both doors open, it is very easy to pop your head out either side to check on docking. The bridge also has seating and a table on the aft port side. There is an extension and mattress section stored in the VIP cabin to turn this seating area into a small berth.
• The aft deck is a great place for drinks and dinner. The large teak table can easily seat 8 people. We store seating in the lazerette while offshore.
• The foredeck has a bench area with storage, perfect for lines. There is also the anchor gear near the boat, 2 large 24v windlasses with capstans for the port and starboard anchors.

Upper Deck

 • The flybridge is reached via a steepish stairway from the bridge. There is a full helm station on the flybridge, large seating area with cushions, and a large storage lockers aft of the seating (with cushions perfect for getting sun). One of these storage lockers contains the 2x 8D battery bank (24v) for emergency power to navigation and radio gear.
• The aft end of the upper deck is where the hydraulic crane and tender are stored. The tender is from 2022 and is an aluminum Gala rib with a 70hp Yamaha engine. The crane allows easy launching of the tender on the port side.

Below Deck Overview

• The main cabin is aft of the engine room and is full beam with a queen bed, desk area, and plenty of storage, drawers, and hanging closets. The aft cabin is great offshore as the ship movement is less as you go aft. The main cabin has an ensuite head with a separate shower, dual sinks, and even a full size tub.
• The VIP cabin is forward and has a large bed and ensuite starboard side shower and separate port side head. Again there is plenty of storage in this cabin.
• Just aft of the VIP cabin are port and starboard guest cabins. The port cabin has 3 single berths (inboard berth has foldable berth above) with an ensuite head/shower and plenty of storage. The starboard cabin is very similar, but also has a Miele washer/dryer under the outboard berth (which is raised to fit the washer/dryer). This cabin also has an ensuite head/shower. This cabin has traditionally been the crew cabin. This cabin also has the start batteries for the main engines and gensets under the floor, these batteries have victron smart chargers with bluetooth status making it very easy to check on the battery condition.

Below decks - engine room and lazerrete overview

• The engine is as you would expect in a Dutch built world traveller, well laid out and backups for most systems.
• Main propulsion comes from a pair of Cat 3406B marine engines. These commercial engines powered everything including 18 wheelers, back hoes, bull dozers, and just about anything that needed reliable continuous power. The marine versions can be found on tugboats, pilot boats, and again anything that needed reliable continuous power. The mains have turbo chargers (new 2024) and intercoolers (cleaned 2024) and are rated at 540hp. The mains have a wet exhaust system (new top of the line exhaust elbows 2024). These engines have 18000 hours and are going strong.
• These engines drive through a pair of ZF gearboxes and finally out through large 90mm stainless shafts that are cooled by oil filled shaft housings designed and maintained by the Dutch company Rubber Designs (both mechanical seals replaced by Rubber Designs in 2024). Oil filled shafts are normally found on larger yachts and commercial vessels, this 24m vessel was designed as such. The power ultimately comes from a pair of large outward rotating props with like new prop speed (from 2024). There is also a pair of spare props stored in the large lazerette.
• Electricity comes from a pair of John Deere M4276 30kw gensets. These generators run at 1200rpm, making them long running, reliable, quiet gensets (most gensets now run at 1800rpm). These gensets have 4000 hours after their last major rebuild. These gensets are each capable of powering the full ship. The gensets each have a hydraulic PTO which enables them to also power the Naiad stabilizers at anchor (zero speed stabilization).
• There are 4 diesel fuel tanks in the engine room and 2 fuel manifolds. There is an ~800gal centerline tank, port/starboard ~350gal wing tanks, and a ~120gal day tank. The day tank is elevated to provide gravity feed/pressure to the engines. There are an additional 4 fuel tanks in the lazerette including port/starboard ~350gal lazerette tanks, and port/starboard 1000gal aft tanks. Each tank has 2 fuel pickup tubes including a larger pickup for the fuel transfer manifold, and a smaller/lower pickup for the condensation manifold. Condensation manifolds are more common in commercial vessels, and allow extra care to be taken handling fuel by providing a manifold dedicated to checking for and handling any condensation/water in the fuel tanks. All fuel tanks have the special fuel sounding ports with caps and gravity close valves (required for Lloyds classification).
• The engine room has all of the other explorer vessel equipment you would expect, including water maker, air compressor, electrical panels, water pumps, water heaters, aircon chillers, hydraulics, stabilizers, etc. The fresh water pumps are variable speed, one is powered by 24v battery power, the other is powered by 120v AC (generator/shore power).
• There is also a rather large dedicated battery room (truly a room) accessed via an aft port side water tight door. This battery room currently is the ideal place for a nice 24v Victron lithium battery bank, a project for the next owner. Speaking of batteries, there are 6 new (2024) 8D batteries for starting the mains and gensets (2x 24v banks for each main, a single 12v for each genset). There is also an additional 24v bank with 2x 8Ds on the flybridge for emergency nav equipment power.
