A bank of vertical windows on the front of the superstructure offers guests a panoramic view from the main-deck interior and is a hallmark of Johnson Yachts boats. 

Her interior spaces were created by Karen Lynn Interiors with comfort and entertainment opportunities in mind, whether that be for large groups or more intimate parties.

And the flexibility of the design will appeal to each owner in ways that production builds just can’t match.” 

The interior of each Johnson 80 is fully customisable, with this particular vessel housing guests on the lower deck. This includes a full-beam master stateroom amidships, a forward VIP stateroom and a pair of ensuite double guest staterooms which also includes the option of a Pullman berth. Her 6.3-metre beam carries well forward, helping to create generous interior volume.

This Johnson 80 motor yacht also includes a gathering space in the main deck saloon, a living area located aft with roomy L shaped settee and a pair of loose armchairs. In addition, selections from the owners’ art collection adorn the bulkheads on board.Johnson 80 yacht in Taiwan Photo: Johnson YachtsThe main deck houses a country kitchen arrangement forward with an open galley.
