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.
Steps in the pilothouse or from the aft deck takes passengers up to the flybridge equipped with a helm and bar, seating and a dining table. About 60 percent of the flybridge area is covered by hardtop.
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.”
Where is Southern Belle located? The yacht is currently lying in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
