Alexander Marine Australia are pleased to present the 2012 Johnson 65 Motor Yacht to the market as worldwide central agents.
A sleek bluewater motor yacht from Taiwan-based Johnson Motor Yachts, the 2012 Johnson 65 Motor Yacht combines timeless styling with proven offshore pedigree. Powered by ever-reliable Caterpillar C18 engines coupled to ZF pod drive propulsion, she harnesses proven marine engineering to deliver exceptional manoeuvrability, improved efficiency and effortless close-quarters handling, making her equally well suited to relaxed coastal cruising and confident marina berthing. With her elegant lines and impressive presence on the water, she also delivers expansive living spaces, comfortable accommodation and thoughtful features designed for both entertaining and extended time aboard.
A large teak-laid fixed swim platform welcomes you aboard and provides ample space to accommodate the custom Johnson 3.6m tender, which can be effortlessly launched and retrieved using the Besenzoni 400kg davit neatly concealed within its own dedicated transom compartment. This compartment also cleverly houses the removable swim ladder, keeping the swim platform uncluttered when the swim ladder is not in use. Wide access to the cockpit is available via both the port and starboard sides, making boarding convenient whether alongside a marina berth or at anchor. Stepping into the teak-laid cockpit, you'll find an inviting alfresco entertaining area centred around a comfortable aft forward-facing bench settee and table, creating the perfect setting for relaxed outdoor dining or enjoying a drink with family and friends.
Stainless steel framed sliding doors open into a spacious and beautifully appointed saloon where panoramic windows flood the interior with natural light. Comfortable lounges are positioned to both port and starboard, with the larger U-shaped lounge to starboard creating an ideal space to relax while enjoying the hi/lo TV to port and the Crestron Adagio Media System. Warm timber finishes, generous proportions and an open-plan design create a welcoming atmosphere, whether entertaining guests or simply unwinding after a day on the water.
At the forward end of the saloon, the galley is positioned to starboard near the windscreen while the dedicated formal dining area occupies the port side, creating a practical separation between food preparation and entertaining. The well-equipped galley features dual Isotherm drawer refrigerators, a Euro Kera electric cooktop, microwave oven and Fisher & Paykel Dishdrawer, complemented by extensive benchtop space and generous storage throughout. Opposite, the dining area comfortably accommodates guests with an L-shaped settee surrounding an elegant glass dining table, accompanied by two additional freestanding dining chairs for larger gatherings.
A centreline staircase leads down to the accommodation deck, where the thoughtfully designed three-cabin layout offers impressive comfort for owners and guests alike. Occupying the full beam amidships, the luxurious master suite features a king-sized island bed, abundant storage, a Hisense 40" TV and the privacy of a spacious ensuite bathroom. Forward, the VIP guest cabin is equally inviting with a queen-sized island bed, private ensuite and Samsung 31" TV. A distinctive feature of Bill Dixon's design is the generous use of glazing to bring natural light into the living spaces, and the Johnson 65 is no exception, with unusually large windows and portholes incorporated into the forward VIP cabin, a rare feature that gives the cabin an exceptional sense of openness and connection to the outdoors. The starboard guest cabin offers an offset queen berth, Samsung 31" TV and private access to the shared ensuite, which also serves as the vessel's day head. To port, a dedicated office provides a quiet workspace for those wishing to remain connected while cruising. A Bosch stacked washer and dryer is located in the general area and adds further convenience for extended time aboard.
The skylounge can be accessed via internal stairs from the saloon or externally from the cockpit, offering an elevated retreat with commanding views underway. The helm station is comprehensively equipped with twin Besenzoni electric helm seats and an impressive suite of navigation electronics including dual Raymarine HybridTouch multifunction displays, a separate 15" monitor screen, Raymarine GPS plotter, sounder, radar and autopilot, ZF Joystick Maneuvering System, CZone digital switching system and Icom VHF. Vessel handling is further enhanced by ABT-TRAC stabilisers and a Side-Power bow thruster, delivering confidence and comfort whether cruising offshore or manoeuvring in close quarters. A hi/lo TV and two comfortable settees create a relaxed secondary living space up in the skylounge, while generous glazing allows abundant natural light and ventilation throughout.
Stainless steel framed sliding doors lead directly from the skylounge onto the elevated aft deck, where an additional L-shaped settee creates another excellent entertaining area. Protected by the overhead hardtop, this space is ideal for enjoying panoramic views while cruising or relaxing at anchor, with the non-skid flooring sole providing safe and secure footing.
Access to the utility room and engine room is conveniently located via a dedicated door off the port side deck. Stepping down into this practical workspace reveals extensive benchtop space, numerous storage solutions, an Isotherm freezer, U-Line ice maker and an additional head, making it an ideal area for provisioning and onboard maintenance. Passing through the watertight door leads into the well-presented engine room, where twin Caterpillar C18 diesel engines producing 1015hp each provide dependable performance and effortless cruising capability. Electrical power is supplied by an Onan 22.5kW generator, completing a machinery package designed for reliable operation.
Wide teak-laid side decks provide safe passage forward to the bow, where a generous sunbed offers the perfect place to relax and soak up the sunshine. Ground tackle is managed by a substantial 54kg/120lb stainless steel plow anchor deployed via a vertical Maxwell windlass with 12mm galvanised chain, ensuring dependable anchoring wherever your cruising adventures may take you.
Combining timeless styling, generous internal volume and a practical cruising layout with quality engineering throughout, this 2012 Johnson 65 Motor Yacht presents an outstanding opportunity for discerning buyers seeking a capable luxury motor yacht equally suited to coastal cruising, entertaining and comfortable liveaboard enjoyment.
