Details
An Exceptionally Upgraded Gentleman’s Yacht The 2005 Pacific Mariner 85 “JULE” represents the true essence of a classic gentleman’s yacht—combining timeless styling, remarkable seakeeping, and extensive modern upgrades. Renowned for their superior build quality and oceangoing performance, Pacific Mariner yachts are respected throughout the industry, and JULE stands out as one of the finest examples available today. She was originally custom built with a hinged hard top that can be lowered for access to the Great Lakes though the Hudson River.
With over $700,000 invested in the past 12 months and nearly $2 million in upgrades over the last five years, JULE has been continuously improved and meticulously maintained. Major enhancements include Humphree Zero Speed Stabilizers with interceptors, a complete MTU W4 engine service, and extensive mechanical, electrical, and interior upgrades—ensuring exceptional reliability and comfort underway or at anchor.
Further elevating her appeal, JULE received luxurious 12mm Burmese teak decking throughout the entire yacht, making her the only Pacific Mariner 85 with this premium feature. Combined with a brand-new 16’ AB aluminum tender, Starlink connectivity, premium Zeno mattresses in every stateroom, and numerous system upgrades, she offers an ownership experience that rivals yachts far newer and significantly more expensive.
For buyers seeking a turn-key motor yacht with pedigree, comfort, and outstanding value, JULE presents an extraordinary opportunity at a fraction of her replacement cost.
