JFA AT THE BOOT DUSSELDORF

JFA Yachts will be present at Boot Düsseldorf from 19th to 27th of January in Germany.

JFA Yachts just delivered this year the VPLP 110’ sailing catamaran out of carbon. This cat is the second catamaran built and delivered by JFA Yachts. Thanks to this experience, JFA is now focusing on the catamaran market and develops a new brand name Long Island Catamaran. In fact catamaran offers many advantages such as large area, speed, high stability, shallow draft
and much more. High success of charter catamarans but also racing cats proves that a new era is coming.

Catamarans over 85’ are still quite rare. The first Long Island 85’ is under building and JFA is developing a Long Island 100’ and a Long Island 115’.
In the same time, JFA Yachts is also working on different quotes for custom Yachts (either Motor yachts and Sailing Yachts) and refit projects.

JFA LONG ISLAND 85 LUXURY CATAMARAN

JFA has positioned itself in the semi-custom catamaran market.

The architect Marc Lombard and JFA Yachts have developed a new concept for long crossing catamarans. Catamaran, for semicustom construction. The first order was recently signed.. The office of Marc Lombard has put all of their 25 years of experience with cruising and racing catamarans into this new 85’. The firm is also responsible for the interior design. By her size and her freeboard, this catamaran is designed to sail far and in the greatest comfort. The hulls and the bottom of the nacelle will be made of aluminum while the deck and superstructures will be made of composite. The desired goal is to build a multi-hull with its weight adapted to its navigation program. This catamaran proposes an innovative interior for her size: one owners cabin with a panoramic view forward in the nacelle and direct access to the trampoline. The interior saloon offers a 360° view and is equipped with an inside helm station, living area and bar. In the starboard hull there is one guest cabin, a large office and the owners bathroom. In the port hull there is a second guest cabin, the galley and 2 crew cabins. As shown here in the 3D illustrations, the outside areas are vast. The technical installations are concentrated in the engine room. The yacht will be equipped with a large tender (15’8”). A choice of layout options will be available for the Long Island 85’.
