Yacht Description
Easy weeks for eight. SOUTHERN BELLE is a Johnson motor yacht from 2006, coming in around 87 feet, set up to sleep 8 guests in 4 cabins. It is a straightforward platform for a grown-up group that wants space, not spreadsheets.
Owners get the main deck. The master king is forward on the main deck with his-and-hers en-suite heads and a dual-access shower between. Below, the layout stays sensible: a VIP king, plus one double and one twin, all en-suite.
Water time is simple. A swim platform and boarding ladder make getting in and out of the sea a non-event. Deck showers help keep the salt outside, where it belongs.
Toys that get used. You have a 24' Cobia center console (250 hp, 2024) plus a 14' Novurania 430DL RIB with a Yamaha 60 hp (2023) for beach runs and exploring. Add two paddleboards, sea scooters, snorkeling gear, floating mats, and a towable tube, and the “what do we do today?” question answers itself.
Connected, if you must. Wi‑Fi and Starlink are onboard, along with satellite TV and a salon TV and stereo for downtime. Air conditioning is full, because sleeping is part of the charter too.
