2005 Johnson 87' Motor Yacht
“Aleniel”
Description
The yacht has been donated to AMI Kids and will soon be available for long-term listing lease with interest-free terms to qualified buyers.
If you are in the market for a spacious yacht with a large country kitchen and four staterooms, “ALENIEL” is something special, offering the space of much larger yachts. She has been extensively refitted over the last three years and is ideal for someone who truly appreciates the traditional layout of an impeccably designed American-style yacht, featuring a large aft deck and flybridge.
The bow is a special bonus, as many yachts do not take full advantage of this space. There is a full sun pad and seating area, perfect for enjoying great views and sunsets.
The interior décor is impressive, with beautiful wood finishes and custom furnishings. Between the last two owners, an estimated $1.8 million has been invested. The current owner has continued to upgrade the yacht, making her an excellent example of her class.
In 2025, both Northern Lights generators were mechanically zeroed out and fitted with new hour meters. The yacht also benefits from a full-time captain dedicated to maintaining and improving her condition.
The unmistakable lines of the Bill Dixon design, with upper and lower vertical windows, make her profile iconic. This same yacht is still being built today, now marketed as a 93 with an extended platform.
As you walk through the electric stainless doors, the interior volume truly stands out, thanks to her 23'6" beam. She has a substantially wider beam than most yachts in her class—just a few inches shy of a 112' Westport—which sets this 87 Johnson apart from others in this size range.
This is especially evident in the spacious salon and country kitchen with atrium, while still offering large walk-around side decks and four separate boarding areas. She is equipped with ABT Trac fins for stabilization, hydraulic bow and stern thrusters, and Dockmate wireless control, allowing navigation from anywhere onboard. Additionally, there are two auxiliary steering stations (port and starboard) on the aft main deck, as well as controls on the flybridge and raised pilothouse (RPH).
ALENIEL is powered by the popular Caterpillar C32 engines, known for their reliability and support, with all services up to date.
If you're seriously considering yachts up to 112 feet, this 87 Johnson is a pleasant surprise—and this particular vessel will not disappoint in terms of condition. She comfortably accommodates four couples.
Call or text anytime to schedule a showing.
