2023 Jeanneau 65, USD 1.250.000,-

Limax II sits at the very top of the Jeanneau Yachts range. As the flagship Jeanneau Yacht 65, she was conceived as a true custom bluewater cruising yacht. This 65 blends long-range offshore capability, short-handed ease of handling, and the volume and comfort only a yacht of this class can offer.

The long waterline and efficient hull deliver excellent performance both under sail and power. She is notably strong in light air, yet carries the displacement, form stability, and twin-rudder configuration that provide real security and control in heavy weather. Under power, practical passagemaking speeds sit comfortably in the high-8-knot range, with a maximum speed of approximately 10–10.5 knots when required for weather management or port timing. This is a yacht designed around efficiency, control, and endurance.

What truly sets Limax II apart is how she was specified and used. The owner set out to solve what is often missing in this model: genuine offshore sailing capability combined with true family liveaboard comfort. While many Jeanneau 65s remain lightly optioned and oriented toward dockside luxury or coastal cruising, Limax II was deliberately customized for real sailing, long passages, and short-handed operation, without compromising the refinement expected of a flagship yacht.

The result is the nicest possible Jeanneau 65—one that is fully prepared and immediately ready to sail away, and already where you want to sail this winter. Based on current market pricing and documented installations, the actual installed cost of these upgrades sits comfortably in the high six figures and realistically approaches seven figures USD, excluding the owner’s time, logistics, and the months of lost sailing typically required to complete this work. That investment has already been made properly, coherently, and with the benefit of experience.

Operationally, Limax II has been used exactly as intended: long-range island cruising, ocean-passage preparation, and family holidays, with the flexibility to remain in the Caribbean seasonally or sail back to Europe under her own keel, VAT paid. Her dark blue hull further distinguishes her visually from standard production finishes, reinforcing her bespoke, owner-driven character.

Importantly, EU VAT has been fully paid on Limax II. On a yacht of this value, this represents a substantial sunk cost already absorbed by the current owners, directly benefiting the next owner. For European buyers in particular, this removes uncertainty, administrative delay, and significant additional expense, materially increasing the yacht’s effective value compared with non-VAT-paid sisterships.

Today, Limax II is ashore at Nanny Cay, fully prepared, EU VAT paid, and available for immediate takeover. Worldwide delivery can be arranged.

This is a rare opportunity to step directly into a turn-key Jeanneau Yacht 65 that genuinely bridges the gap between luxury cruising yacht and serious offshore sailing platform—without compromise, delay, or uncertainty.
