1987 Jongert 78 Motor Yacht

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 saltwater 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 mega yachts. Full real walkaround decks, oversized anchors and windlass, flybridge with comfortable seating throughout and room enough for any party.

Its 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 dorados 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) armchairs 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.
