BANYAN has benefited from several large refits, so much so there is very little of her mechanical systems that date back to her original build. Upgraded often and at a significant cost. During her 14’ extension (running gear extended) BANYAN was treated to a complete reportedly 5 million dollar mechanical refit including engines, generators, AC plant, hydraulic thrusters and windlass, Seakeepers, etc.
Available with the balance of a lease purchase the new owner will benefit from partial interest free financing and get a boat that is ready to cruise immediately.

BANYAN is a true flush deck style cockpit motor yacht that has many updates to her classic lines making her appear more modern.
Boarding through the Pilothouse area one passes through a generous side deck walkway into the Pilothouse with a large updated helm followed by a bench seat aft and ladder access to the Flybridge.
Next aft is the oversize Galley expanded from the usual narrow Galley on contemporary sisterships. All appliances have been updated in 2018/2019.
Next aft is large Salon with an expandable dining table forward, a couch to starboard, loose seating and a popup TV to port with an amazing amount of storage space in perimeter cabinets.
A fully enclosed full beam Aft Deck is next aft. Port and starboard cabinets flank a motorized dining table with built in and loose seating. Portside steps lead to the large Cockpit addition with a huge walk in Lazarette.
Back in the Salon steps in the port aft corner lead to the Accommodations below. A Master Cabin is aft with an island California king size berth, ample storage and separate His and Her Heads, each with a separate shower.
Next forward is a twin Lower Berth Cabin with a pullman, inboard to port. It has a full ensuite head with a stall shower.
To starboard is an identical cabin modified to have a tapered queen/double berth and a pullman inboard, also with a full ensuite head and stall shower.
Back in the Pilothouse curved steps to starboard lead down to the surprisingly large Crew Area.
Forward is the double berth Captain’s Quarters with forepeak head. Next aft to port is a small desk, further after is a four person dinette followed by an over/under criss- cross berth Cabin with a private head to starboard. This area also has extra refrigeration.
The Flybridge of BANYAN has a centerline helm, dining for six aft to port, a wet bar to starboard and aft of the tender and crane is a large U shaped seating area with a high low table.
Entering the yacht from the side decks or Cockpit one first encounters the expansive Aft Deck. The sole is teak (only teak sole aboard). The area is fully enclosed with sliding glass windows on the sides and EZ2CY hard enclosure aft with curved plexiglass in the corners.
The area has a large four person upholstered seat aft facing a varnished teak top motorized hi-lo table with three all weather rattan chairs and two matching ottomans.
To port are painted cabinets with four doors hiding abundant glassware storage.
To starboard behind a door is a 38 bottle Wine Cave cooler, two large storage drawers and a large cabinet.
Forward to starboard is a gently sloped eight step ladder to the Boat Deck. A cabinet with a drink fridge and a wine cabinet are under the stairs.
To port is a cabinet, a Manitowoc clear ice icemaker, two drawers, two cabinets with additional storage and drawers within, a bar sink and a hidden Sharp 42” pop-up TV.
Also on the Aft Deck are ten overhead LED lights on a dimmer, two stereo speakers and digital A/C with the equipment located under the Boat Deck seating above.
Entering the Salon through double teak doors from the Aft Deck one gets a very spacious feeling with the large side windows and uncrowded feel of the furniture.
Immediately to starboard is an L shaped bookshelf partially enclosed with tambour doors. Lying in front is an upholstered chair and matching ottoman.
Next forward is a three person leather “nail head” sofa flanked by end tables, the aft one round, with an open shelf below and a table lamp above.

Main Engine Room panel w/the following equipment:
BANYAN has benefited from several large refits, so much so there is very little of her mechanical systems that date back to her original build.
Built at 88’ she was stretched to 102’ at Lauderdale Marine Center in 2009. At that time new 4 cycle CAT C-18’s detuned to 875 HP were installed. Hydraulic, electrical, anchoring and stabilization systems were replaced with new at that time.
Subsequent refits in 2015 and 2017 saw rebuilds of her main engines due to a design error in 2009 exhaust system design, keel area replating as needed, new polypropylene sea valves and a Delron isolator kits on stainless steel sea valves, all tanks cleaned, sandblasted, pressure tested and recoated. (2) New Sea Keeper gyros in Lazarette, which have been recently serviced, etc., etc.
As recent as 2020 her bottom was stripped and recoated, stabilizer fins dropped, actuators rebuilt, etc.

It is hard to imagine a more up to date 40 year old motor yacht!
Upgraded often and at a significant cost. During her 14’ extension (running gear extended) BANYAN was treated to a complete reportedly 5 million dollar mechanical refit including engines, generators, AC plant, hydraulic thrusters and windlass, Seakeepers, etc.
Continually cared for since, she shows like much newer yachts.
Available with the balance of a lease purchase the new owner will benefit from partial interest free financing and get a boat that is ready to cruise immediately.
