Description

Limax II sits at the very top of the Jeanneau Yachts range. As the flagship Jeanneau Yacht 65, she was conceived as a true custom bluewater cruising yacht. This 65 blends long-range offshore capability, short-handed ease of handling, and the volume and comfort only a yacht of this class can offer.The long waterline and efficient hull deliver excellent performance both under sail and power. She is notably strong in light air, yet carries the displacement, form stability, and twin-rudder configuration that provide real security and control in heavy weather. Under power, practical passagemaking speeds sit comfortably in the high-8-knot range, with a maximum speed of approximately 10–10.5 knots when required for weather management or port timing. This is a yacht designed around efficiency, control, and endurance.What truly sets Limax II apart is how she was specified and used. The owner set out to solve what is often missing in this model: genuine offshore sailing capability combined with true family liveaboard comfort. While many Jeanneau 65s remain lightly optioned and oriented toward dockside luxury or coastal cruising, Limax II was deliberately customized for real sailing, long passages, and short handed operation, without compromising the refinement expected of a flagship yacht.Over six months of focused preparation, the yacht was upgraded with:A proper offshore sail plan, including a full North Sails performance inventory (main, genoa, jib, and gennaker), inner forestay, running backstays, and dual boom-preventer systemsEnergy independence and redundancy, combining a new high-capacity diesel generator, dual Remoran hydro-generators, expanded battery capacity, and upgraded charging systemsSerious offshore safety equipment, including dual Viking liferafts and comprehensive long-range safety and recovery systemsFamily-friendly liveaboard comfort, with hardtop protection, full air-conditioning, quiet systems, and a layout well suited to extended cruising with children aboardThe resul is the nicest possible Jeanneau 65 - one that is fully prepared and immediately ready to sail away, and already where you want to sail this winter. Based on current market pricing and documented installations, the actual installed cost of these upgrades sits comfortably in the high six figures and realistically approaches seven figures USD, excluding the owner’s time, logistics, and the months of lost sailing typically required to complete this work. That investment has already been made—properly, coherently, and with the benefit of experience.Operationally, Limax II has been used exactly as intended: long-range island cruising, ocean-passage preparation, and family holidays, with the flexibility to remain in the Caribbean seasonally or sail back to Europe under her own keel, VAT paid. Her dark blue hull further distinguishes her visually from standard production finishes, reinforcing her bespoke, owner-driven character.Importantly, EU VAT has been fully paid on Limax II. On a yacht of this value, this represents a substantial sunk cost already absorbed by the current owners, directly benefiting the next owner. For European buyers in particular, this removes uncertainty, administrative delay, and significant additional expense, materially increasing the yacht’s effective value compared with non-VAT-paid sisterships.Today, Limax II is ashore at Nanny Cay, fully prepared, EU VAT paid, and available for immediate takeover. Worldwide delivery can be arranged.This is a rare opportunity to step directly into a turn-key Jeanneau Yacht 65 that genuinely bridges the gap between luxury cruising yacht and serious offshore sailing platform—without compromise, delay, or uncertainty.Additional InformationAccommodation• Owner’s Version layout designed as a true long-range owner’s yacht, prioritizing privacy, separation of

Boat HistoryFrom the beginning, our goal with Limax II was to create a yacht we could trust completely. Having owned and sailed many yachts over the years, we approached this boat with clear priorities shaped by experience: genuine offshore capability, systems we could rely on, and a platform that also works beautifully for safe, comfortable family cruising. We wanted a yacht that could cross oceans with confidence, yet remain easy to live aboard and genuinely relaxing to sail.We invested significant time and care—more than six months of focused preparation—to thoughtfully outfit the yacht for Atlantic crossings and long-range cruising. Every upgrade was selected based on real-world use and past lessons learned: sail handling, redundancy, energy independence, safety systems, and offshore reliability. The result is a Jeanneau 65 that feels settled, proven, and ready, rather than a factory-spec yacht still needing refinement.Alongside her offshore capability, Limax II has been an exceptional family yacht. She is quiet, comfortable, and reassuring underway, with excellent protection, effective climate control, and a layout that works extremely well for extended time aboard with children. Whether on longer passages or relaxed island cruising, she has consistently proven to be both capable and enjoyable to live on.We have taken great pride in caring for the yacht, and she is kept as close as possible to immaculate condition, both mechanically and cosmetically, reflecting thoughtful ownership and professional oversight throughout.Limax II has been privately owned and professionally operated, with a dedicated captain responsible for day-to-day care, preventative maintenance, and system oversight. This professional management ensured that all systems were operated correctly, maintained on schedule, and monitored continuously.The yacht has been used exactly as intended: long-range cruising, ocean passages, and some short cruises for family sailing. She has benefited from conservative operation, proactive servicing, and careful attention to detail throughout her ownership. All maintenance has been carried out with a long-term view toward reliability and safety.The yacht has no history of damage or structural issues, and all systems are reported to be functioning as intended. Service records and logs are up to date, and the yacht’s condition reflects both professional oversight and thoughtful private ownership.Today, Limax II is presented as a fully prepared, turn-key Jeanneau Yacht 65, ready for immediate use—whether for offshore passagemaking, extended cruising, or refined family sailing. Her EU VAT–paid status further simplifies ownership and enhances her appeal for European and international buyers.DisclaimerThe company offers the details of this vessel in good faith but cannot guarantee or warrant the accuracy of this information nor warrant the condition of the vessel.
