LA JOIE DE MER, or “Joy of the Sea”, stands as a testament to nautical prowess and refined comfort. Built in 2005 by Jongert and designed by Tony Castro, this 95'2" (29m) sailing yacht combines robust construction with lively sailing performance and modern amenities. LA JOIE DE MER has undergone key improvements in 2008 and 2011, optimizing her keel for heightened sailing performance, particularly excelling in light winds—an asset well-suited for Corinthian racing.
Sail enthusiasts will appreciate the thoughtfully assembled sailing package, featuring a custom carbon Hall Spars mast, Park Avenue boom, rod rigging, Harken winches, and a captive main winch—all underscored by North 3DI sails. Rigorous maintenance includes a recent 5-year rig survey in fall 2023, ensuring optimal performance. Further enhancements include a full repaint of the yacht, a new night generator, stern thruster, batteries, mainsail, and galley equipment, ensuring seamless operations. The submarine anchor forward plus tender stowage in the aft garage provide clear deck space. The yacht's twin helm wheels look forward to inviting outdoor settee/lounge pads.
The practicality of LA JOIE DE MER extends to her enclosed deck saloon, offering an enjoyable onboard experience whether sailing or at anchor. This deck saloon boasts twin tables and settees, complemented by an interior helm/nav station with excellent visibility and protection. There is a bar on the other side along with a jump seat providing an excellent vantage point.
The lower saloon, graced with an expansive skylight, features a dining area with a dining table that converts to a lower cocktail table. On the other side is a lounge area with cocktail table. The aft corridor leads to a master stateroom with a queen bed, a VIP stateroom with a double bed and Pullman berth, and a twin-bedded stateroom. Each stateroom is equipped with ample storage, hanging lockers, and en-suite bathroom. Forward of the saloon are a spacious galley, crew mess, engine room entry, and a captain’s cabin plus a crew cabin, all with en-suite heads. The rich, honey-colored teak is seen throughout all of her interior spaces, maintaining a consistently warm and welcoming ambiance.
Currently available for purchase in the Caribbean, LA JOIE DE MER stands ready to offer immediate cruising and Bucket racing pleasure. Her commitment to excellence, combined with thoughtful design and recent upgrades, positions her as a wonderful option for those seeking a blend of performance sailing and comfortable living.
