Yacht Description
Jacuzzi, gym, and toys. LADY J is a 142ft Palmer Johnson motor yacht built in 1997 and refit in 2017, set up to keep a full group entertained without having to “make your own fun.”
Outdoor living done properly. The sundeck brings the payoff with a deck Jacuzzi and wet bar for long afternoons, plus sun pads when the group splits between shade and tanning. Short hop to the swim platform and you are straight into the water.
Serious water time. Two Yamaha VXR 1800 Waverunners, wakeboards, adult and kids waterskis, kayaks, paddleboards, and towables. Also on board: snorkeling gear and scuba diving equipment with an onboard air compressor for certified divers.
Sleeps 12 in five. Accommodation is for up to 12 guests in 5 suites, including an on-deck primary suite with a king bed and a Jacuzzi tub, plus two queen cabins and two twin cabins (each with an extra single/trundle option). Flexible enough for families, or five couples who like options.
