The 95’2″ (29m) Jongert sailing yacht LA JOIE DE MER, or “Joy of the Sea,” is now offered at $2,300,000 following a $390,000 price reduction. Represented by Yacht Broker Ann Avery, this 2005 Tony Castro-designed yacht is a blend of performance, luxury and thoughtful upgrades, perfect for cruising enthusiasts or competitive sailors.
Designed for optimal sailing performance, LA JOIE DE MER features a custom carbon Hall Spars mast, Park Avenue boom, rod rigging, and North 3DI sails. Her sailing package, which includes Harken winches and a captive main winch, has been meticulously maintained, with a 5-year rig survey completed in 2023. A modified keel enhances her light wind performance, making her a competitive choice for Corinthian racing. Recent updates include a full repaint, a new night generator, a stern thruster, upgraded batteries, mainsail and galley equipment.
The yacht’s exterior is designed for both functionality and enjoyment. The foredeck is clear, due to a recessed submarine anchor, while the aft tender garage offers convenient storage and easy water access. Twin helm wheels and outdoor lounge pads provide comfortable spaces to relax and take in the views.
Inside, the enclosed deck saloon offers panoramic visibility and comfort, complete with twin tables, settees, an interior helm, and a bar with a jump seat. Below deck, an expansive skylight fills the lower saloon with natural light, highlighting the warm, honey-colored teak throughout. This inviting space includes a dining area with a convertible table and a cozy lounge with a cocktail table.
Accommodations are thoughtfully arranged for both guests and crew. The aft section houses a master stateroom with a queen bed, a VIP stateroom with a double bed and Pullman berth, and a twin cabin. Each stateroom features ample storage, hanging lockers, and ensuite bathrooms. Forward of the saloon are the galley, crew mess, captain’s cabin, and crew cabin, ensuring smooth operations and privacy.
Her recent upgrades and exceptional condition make her ready for immediate cruising or blue-water voyaging. Whether exploring idyllic islands or competing in events like the Bucket Regatta, she delivers on every front.
