Verdict
The Jongert 2000S is a well-built late-1980s Dutch cruising yacht with strong passagemaking credentials, practical deck layout, and a comfortable five-cabin interior. Its age and market positioning mean value depends heavily on refit quality, but the design remains highly credible for serious cruising.
Pros
- +Aluminium construction and Jongert build quality
- +Centre-cockpit cruising layout with enclosed deckhouse
- +Five cabins and three bathrooms for up to 8 guests
- +300 hp diesel, autopilot and GPS on board
Cons
- −Older 1988 platform will likely need refit-sensitive ownership
- −Reported listings vary on exact specification and equipment
- −Lower performance ceiling than lighter modern yachts
- −Value depends strongly on maintenance history and upgrades
The Jongert 2000S is a substantial Dutch sailing yacht from 1988, built in aluminium and offered in a 66 ft/20 m package with a centre-cockpit, deckhouse cruising layout. Public listings show Jongert’s usual emphasis on robust construction and practical offshore design, with the 2000S positioned as a serious passagemaker rather than a lightweight performance cruiser.[1][2][3]
On the water, the available information points to a conservative but capable setup: a 300 hp diesel, shaft drive, and cruising-oriented systems such as autopilot and GPS. That combination suggests predictable handling under power and steady manners under sail, with the design likely favouring control and comfort over outright speed.[1][2]
Comfort is a clear strength. The verified specification gives five cabins, eight berths, three bathrooms, air conditioning and Wi‑Fi, which is a strong layout for a yacht of this size and era. For owner-operator cruising or family use, the separation of accommodation and the enclosed deckhouse should make longer stays aboard practical.[1][2]
As value, the 2000S sits in a niche market where condition matters more than age alone. Its appeal is strongest for buyers who want Dutch build quality and blue-water credibility, but pricing should be judged against the cost of maintaining or upgrading an older aluminium yacht rather than against modern mass-produced alternatives.[1][7][8]
