Miami warehouse- spare parts, pumps, motors, spare shaft, and plans

“Indigo Sea” is an incredible vessel. Everywhere you look, you will be amazed by the quality of her build. The engines are Caterpillar work engines, not typical yacht engines. The generators are commercial equipment, they run at 1200 RPM, instead of 1800 RPM as the new units do now. Everywhere you look throughout the yacht; she has massive stainless fittings and you can easily see the quality built into the entire vessel.

 The master stateroom is equipped with an ensuite head; The master bath is spacious with Jacuzzi tub, dual sinks and large shower, which is aft for complete privacy. The shafts are sealed in oil, then cooled by sea water. Chances are you have never seen an oil cooled shaft. This is “big ship stuff”. The advantage of this feature is that it is completely quiet and there’s no salt water damage to the shaft. The naval architect that oversaw the previous owners refit stated that these are normally only found on mega yachts. Full real walkaround decks, oversized anchors, and windlass, flybridge with comfortable seating throughout and room enough for any party. All the staterooms have great ventilation with hatches, screens and dorade vents for fresh air. The salon and pilothouse areas have opening windows and screen doors. The screen doors are a work of art. Important to note that because she was originally built to US SPECS, she is a 60 cycle boat.

Just one small example of the fine quality: the (8) deck chairs, the (4) armchairs and the (2) Commodore Steamers on the aft deck is made by Barlow Tyrie. These are the finest English teak chairs (all chairs refinished).

“Indigo Sea” received a fresh bottom paint job in 2021.

HISTORY FROM CURRENT OWNER

The extremely knowledgeable, wealthy yachtsman that built the boat originally had several

production boats. He wanted the finest yacht available that could cross the Atlantic and tour

Europe and the Americas; no expense was spared. He chose Jongert for several reasons:

1. Finest Dutch quality. Dutch then and today, some of the finest builders in the world.

2. Their boats routinely circled the globe.

3. The joinery work is incredibly finished.

4. He wanted a boat with a Lloyd 100A4 certificate. Note that almost all boats built today and

then are “built to ABS or Lloyds standard”. They do not have a certificate. There is no one

from outside to certify that the builder really met these standards when built.

5. He wanted an all aluminum boat, weight saving and great strength.
