Although she shares her profile with her sisterships, Sedona is one of the most customized 62-foot Neptunus yachts offered for sale. It’s located in Jupiter, Florida, and offered by Gilman Yacht Sales for $675,000. 

The vessel’s salon and galley offer a flexible owner-operator styled layout that has both subtle and dramatic updates. The master stateroom layout has been improved to include a large shower with a separate head to port, and the contrasting finishes on the cherry joinery in this cabin are dramatic and complimented with high-end fixtures. The flybridge area was not forgotten either, with a raised sitting area to port offering a much better use of the area. 

The salon interior has natural cherry joinery with a high-gloss finish and custom stained accents.

Boarding the vessel is from either the swim platform and up the port or starboard steps or from the Marquipt Tide Ride ladder that can be boarded from either the port or starboard aft deck.

Sedona has a comfortable aft deck with built-in and loose seating, a same-level salon with loose furniture and a raised galley and dinette area which was expanded due to the elimination of the lower station.

Below are three staterooms with the forward VIP and starboard guest staterooms sharing a portside head. The master on centerline has a unique head arrangement, putting the toilet to port which allows for a much larger shower to starboard.

The engine room is accessed via a hatch in the aft deck sole. The large lazarette is easily accessed via a custom transom door from the swim platform.

The flybridge deck has easy access via comfortable stairs from the aft deck. The optional Neptunus hardtop, four-sided enclosure and the signature open air sun lounge forward of the helm create indoor/outdoor seating areas found only on the popular Neptunus 56/62 series of sport motor yachts. A custom dinette to port really increases the livability of the flybridge.

Yachting previously wrote: “With a light touch to her electronic Caterpillar controls, the 62 lifted easily, clawing her way up the incoming swell and tossing aside spray. There was no smoke or wallowing. We hit a top speed of 32 knots, even in the steep seas usually associated with the shoaling of an inlet. Blasting over the swells, we took only the occasional sea over the bridge. This was entirely acceptable for our speed and the sea state.”

According to the broker, “Sedona needs to be seen to be fully appreciated. The difference is in the details!”

The brokerage team at Gilman Yachts have listed the 2006 Johnson 87 Pilothouse called Southern Belle for sale with an asking price of $2.29 million. 

Southern Belle’s aft deck has a large U-shaped dining settee with four loose chairs. It is completely covered and gives access to wide walkaround decks. The yacht has four guest staterooms, including an on-deck master suite forward, and two crew quarters.

Forward to starboard is a head, a side deck entry door, steps to the pilothouse, steps to below and the on-deck master suite forward. The master suite is equipped with plenty of windows and  his-and-hers en suite heads with a dual-access shower in between.

In the main starboard side companionway, curved steps lead to the lower accommodation foyer. Forward below is a large VIP cabin with a spacious head. Aft to starboard is an en suite double berth cabin and to port, an en suite single lower berth cabin.

Southern Belle is powered by two 1,550 hp Caterpillar C-30 engines with 5,213 hours as of January 2025. Cruising speed according to the broker is 15 knots, giving it excellent range with its fuel capacity of 3,400 gallons.

Gilman Yachts says, “As one of the dozens of 87-foot Johnsons delivered, Southern Belle stands out with her Cat power, on-deck master stateroom and hydraulic tender platform. A significant yard period in December 2024 has the yacht ready to go in all ways.” 

“One of the 87’s most stunning features is the forward on-deck master stateroom with a 180-degree panoramic view,” Yachting previously reported. “The master head is forward and includes a circular tub and spa. The space required for those amenities means less room for the galley, which is tucked into the port side, unlike country kitchen-style designs.”

Grace’s owner is only the third of this custom-built Raised Pilothouse built in Tacoma, Washington, in the American Northwest. It’s currently offered by Gilman Yachts for $2.095 million.

The first owner brought the boat to Spencer Rybovich in 2002 where the interior layout was reconfigured and most of the joinery replaced. In 2005, the yard replaced the original Detroit Diesels with 1,550 hp CAT C-30s and added two new Northern Lights generators to provide reliable power while away from the dock. A hull extension of 9 feet allowed for a new aft crew cabin as well as a larger aft deck. Reportedly this refit was $4 million according to the broker.

Grace’s second owner reconfigured the galley, added the Pipewelders fiberglass hardtop, updated the Garmin electronics and more, including stabilization. Gilman says the third and current owner has continued with upgrades and improvements.

Of the builder, Yachting previously wrote: “When Norm and Phyllis Nordlund joined forces with Walt Silva in 1958 to form the Nordlund Boat Company in Tacoma, Washington, wooden yachts were at their zenith and the company quickly gained a reputation for high-quality custom building. Sons Paul and Gary, and daughter Karen, eventually joined the business and in the transition to fiberglass during the 1970s helped the company make the shift into new technologies. As the size of new custom boats continued to grow, Nordlund kept pace, but their interior work garnered a significant share of attention in the world-wide marketplace.”

This attention to detail, especially in the interior and sole, shows on Grace as well. It has a four-stateroom, six-head layout with crew quarters. The vessel’s maximum speed is 27 knots and it cruises comfortably at 20 knots. Fuel capacity is 3,420 gallons for extended range.

At the helm, Grace features:

  • 8622 Garmin MFD display
  • 8617 Garmin MFD screen
  • CAT engine displays

  • Fusion MS RA 70 stereo with Bluetooth

Belowdecks, three en suite staterooms accommodate owners and guests. The owner’s stateroom, located forward, is well insulated from bow noise by an expansive bosun’s locker and under-berth stowage.

Thanks Buds remains an icon in yachting circles. She was built as the second of two Gallant Lady Feadship Sportfisherman yachts. At the time of her build, there were no larger pedigree ‘Yacht Fisherman’ on the water. While newer, larger, and faster sportfishing yachts have since emerged, none match the class, grace, or quality of a Feadship. Her original design remains intact, with only system upgrades over the years. This is a rare opportunity to own an icon,” Gilman Yachts stated.

Where is Thanks Buds located? The yacht is currently lying in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

Tiara launched its 48 LS in 2021, expanding the builder’s Luxury Sport series and introducing a family-friendly cruiser to the market that’s powered by triple outboards with a two-stateroom layout that sleeps up to four people. Gilman Yachts has A Lazee Day, a 2024 Tiara Yachts 48 LS, listed for $1.649 million. 

“I thought it was impossible to be completely relaxed yet exuberantly excited at the same moment, until I reclined in the thickly padded, triple-wide bow chaise lounge on the Tiara Yachts 48 LS,” Yachting previously wrote

“In moments, the propellers were spinning at a combined 315 rotations per second, and we were traveling across the water at a hair-whipping top hop of 52 knots. That little voice inside my head wanted to whisper, “Aahhhhh,” and shout, “Woohoo!” at the same time.”

The triple 600 hp Mercury Verado V12s give A Lazee Day a 33-knot cruise speed, burning just 61 gallons per hour which gives the 48-footer a range of 330 nautical miles. 

Belowdecks, owners and their guests have a choice between a pair of staterooms—one amidships with twin berths and one forward with a queen berth. Interior design elements onboard the 48 LS include teak joinery and driftwood décor. The semi-enclosed galley is one step up and comes equipped with a sink, two refrigerator drawers, a freezer drawer, a Kenyon grill and an Isotherm icemaker.

  • Seakeeper 6 gyro
  • Starlink system
  • JL Audio speakers
  • Two 16-inch Garmin GPSMAP displays
  • 22-inch Garmin GPSMAP display
