JFA's New 87-Foot Catamaran Is Built to Go Around the World
French shipyard JFA Yachts has launched the Long Island 87, a 26.25-meter sailing catamaran designed for serious ocean cruising without sacrificing the comforts of a modern superyacht. Built with aluminum hulls and a composite superstructure, the new model follows a lineage of Long Island catamarans that have ventured into some of the world's most remote cruising grounds.
Designed by Marc Lombard Yacht Design Group, the Long Island 87 stretches nearly 40 feet across its beam, creating remarkable living space for a sailing vessel of its length. Its expansive flybridge features dual helm stations, a sheltered bar, lounge seating and solar panels. Below, the main-deck owner's suite offers panoramic views, while accommodations provide room for up to ten guests and four crew members.
The yacht's future owner intends to circumnavigate the globe with a family of four, a mission that speaks to the project's emphasis on autonomy, reliability and long-distance comfort. With its launch completed on October 12, the Long Island 87 represents an appealing alternative to conventional superyachts for owners who want to keep sailing at the center of the experience.
