Rarely does a "little ship" of her pedigree come available. Precious Cargo is an exquisite 85' Dutch-built Jongert Motor Yacht, meticulously crafted in 1986 to German Lloyds classification. Her build included over 40,000 man-hours on the interior alone. She is constructed with systems and redundancies seen in larger yachts and has completed both Atlantic and Pacific crossings on her own bottom.
Precious Cargo is exceptionally versatile, comfortably accommodating 10 guests in 4 staterooms, with separate crew quarters for privacy. A media room converts to a queen berth for overflow guests or crew. Rare for her size, she features a huge aft deck with seating for 12, a full bar, day head, and a massive flybridge.
Precious Cargo features a transatlantic range, steel hull, aluminum superstructure, and system redundancies, making her a proven transatlantic voyager. She is perfect for both short and long-range cruising and memorable entertaining.
With an open checkbook and multiple refits, Precious Cargo has been maintained to modern standards while preserving her elegant Dutch pedigree. Notably, a $2 million "Bow to Stern" refit in late 2021 included a spectacular redesign of her interior and exterior spaces, elevating her to the highest standards of luxury and sophistication. Combining her classic Dutch pedigree with modern comforts and top-of-the-line equipment, she embodies yachting excellence. She must be seen to be fully appreciated.
