LA JOIE DE MER: The Joy of the Sea
Experience the ultimate in nautical excellence with LA JOIE DE MER, a stunning 95’2″ (29m) sailing yacht built in 2005 by Jongert and designed by Tony Castro. This vessel perfectly marries robust construction with lively sailing performance and modern comforts. With significant enhancements in 2008 and 2011, her keel has been optimized for exceptional sailing, especially in light winds—ideal for Corinthian racing enthusiasts.
Sailing aficionados will love the premium sailing package that includes a custom carbon Hall Spars mast, Park Avenue boom, rod rigging, Harken winches, and a captive main winch, all complemented by North 3DI sails. A recent 5-year rig survey completed in fall 2023 ensures she’s ready for action. Recent upgrades include a complete repaint, a new night generator, stern thruster, batteries, mainsail, and galley equipment—ensuring smooth sailing. The submarine anchor at the bow and tender stowage in the aft garage create ample deck space, while the twin helm wheels invite you to relax on the outdoor lounge pads.
The enclosed deck saloon enhances the onboard experience, whether you’re sailing or anchored. It features twin tables and settees, along with an interior helm/nav station for excellent visibility and protection. A bar on the opposite side, paired with a jump seat, offers a fantastic view.
Step down to the lower saloon, where an expansive skylight floods the dining area with natural light. Here, a dining table converts to a cocktail table, while a cozy lounge area awaits with its own cocktail table. The aft corridor leads to a master stateroom with a queen bed, a VIP stateroom featuring a double bed and Pullman berth, and a twin-bedded stateroom. Each stateroom offers ample storage, hanging lockers, and en-suite bathrooms. Forward of the saloon, you’ll find a spacious galley, crew mess, engine room entry, captain’s cabin, and crew cabin, all equipped with en-suite heads. The warm, honey-colored teak throughout the interior creates a welcoming atmosphere.
LA JOIE DE MER is ready to deliver immediate cruising and Bucket racing fun. With her commitment to quality, thoughtful design, and recent upgrades, she is an outstanding choice for those seeking the perfect blend of performance sailing and comfort.
