Johnson Yachts proudly presents the latest iteration of the Johnson 93, a superyacht featuring an on-deck master suite and a capacious flying bridge. The 93-foot (28.36-meter), four-stateroom yacht showcases the capabilities of this established yacht yard, celebrating its 30thanniversary. Johnson Yachts has used proven build techniques, combined with semi-custom yacht designs from 70 to 125 feet (21.34 to 38.1 meters) by Bill Dixon of Dixon Yacht Design, to be on the forefront of the large volume movement of yacht design.

The Johnson 93 has a LOA of 93 feet and a beam of 23 feet, 7 inches that carries well forward, with a distinctive profile set apart by a notable design element: dual-level vertical windows. The lower bank of nine curved panes of black glass lend their light to a main-deck master, though privacy is assured with electric curtains. The large space greets the owners with unparalleled views in a 270-degree arc encompassing the bow area. The space has a king-size berth on centerline with a desk or dressing table to port and a settee for lounging in solitude.

The  luxurious  master  head  is  forward  and  down  five  steps,  where  separate  shower  and  bath  compartments  complement  a  vanity  with  his-and-her  vessel  sinks  set  upon  a  marble  countertop,  and  a  matching  marble  sole.  Extensive  hanging  locker  space  is  also located  in  the  head.

“This  series  of  yacht  came  about  as  a  wide-beam  design  with  an  on-deck  master,”  says  Bill  Dixon  of  Dixon  Yacht  Design.  “She’s  got  that  owner’s  cabin  with  the  wraparound  glass,  a  big  leisure  space  with  wide  side  decks  and  a  good-sized flybridge  with  a  solid  hardtop,  and  good  crew’s  quarters.  We  designed  the  structure  of  the  Johnson  93  to  accommodate  customization  and  provided  Johnson  Yachts  with  the  engineering  and  several  layouts,  but  we  sometimes  consult  on  additional  accommodation  plans.”

Behind  the  upper-level  bank  of  vertical  windows  is  the  raised  pilothouse,  where  the  five  center  panes  are  clear  tempered  glass  for  better  sight  lines  in  low-light  conditions,  and  provide  270-degree  views  to  assist  safe  navigation.  The  pilothouse  is three  steps  up  from  the  passageway  at  the  forward  end  of  the  saloon.  Built  into  a  leather-covered  console  is  a  full  suite  of  navigation  electronics  with  a  pair  of  16-inch  touchscreen  displays.  A  dinette  provides  companion  seating  for  the  helmsman.

The  lower  deck  features  an  amidships  VIP  stateroom,  which  is,  for  all  intents  and  purposes,  a  second  master,  stretching  across  the  full  beam.  This  space  receives  a  generous  quantity  of  natural  light  from  two  levels  of  rectangular  portlights  set  into  the  hullsides.  With  hanging  lockers  both  port  and  starboard,  the  VIP  features  a  dinette  to  starboard  and  a  desk  or  dressing  table  to  port.  The  en  suite  is  aft,  with  his-and-her  heads  entered  from  separate  doors  to  either  side  of  the  berth.  In  each  head,  marble-topped  vanities  with  vessel  sinks  with  a  shared,  walkthrough  shower  on  centerline  between  them.

A  pair  of  twin-berth  staterooms  round  out  the  guest  accommodations  on  the  lower  level.  The  portside  stateroom  has  twin  berths  that  push  together  to  form  a  double.  Each  guest  stateroom  has  a  cedar-lined  hanging  locker  and  additional  stowage  in  lockers,  as  well  as  its  own  entertainment  system.  En  suites  for  the  guest  staterooms  are  finished  with  marble  soles  and  vanity  tops,  and  marble  shower  seats.

Boarding  the  Johnson93  is  simple  from  the  spacious  “teak-beach”  swim  platform,  which  has  hydraulic  aft  section  that  facilitates  bathing  as  well  as  the  launch,  retrieval,  and  stowage  of  a  tender.  A  large  storage  garage  for  gear  and  serious  water  toys  is  in  the  transom.  Guests find  port  and  starboard  stairs  leading  to  the  aft  deck,  shaded  by  the  long  overhang  of  the  flying  bridge.  Enter  the  saloon  through  stainless-and-glass  electric  sliding  doors  on  centerline  from  the  aft  deck.

The  saloon  is  bright  and  airy  with  light-colored  anigre  joinery  and  large  windows  port  and  starboard.  A  social  area  aft  includes  an  upholstered  L-shaped  settee  and  a  pair  of  swivel  chairs  surrounding  a  mother-of-pearl  coffee  table.  A  pop-up  50-inch  television  is  to  starboard  adjacent  to  a  bar  with  24-bottle  wine  cooler,  ice  maker,  and  open-shelf  wine  bottle  stowage.

At  the  forward  end  of  the  salon  is  a  formal  dining  table  with  eight  upholstered  chairs,  convenient  to  the  galley  through  a  door  forward  to  port.  The  galley  has  a  marble  sole  and  two-tone  lacquered  cabinets,  with  stainless  steel  counters.  Stainless  steel  appliances  include  a  five-burner  cooktop,  oven,  two-door  refrigerator,  convection  microwave,  and  dishwasher.

The  flying  bridge  has  access  from  the  pilothouse,  and  also  from  stairs  leading  from  the  aft  deck.  The  helm  station  is  to  port  with  low  helm  console  that  assures  good  lines  of  sight  from  the  helm  seat,  and  with  a  companion  seat  to  port  and  a  forward-facing  bench  to  starboard.  A  large  U-shaped  settee  with  dining  table  is  to  starboard  while  a  wet  bar  and  alfresco  galley  counter  with  propane  grill  is  to  port.  An  open  area  aft  is  suitable  for  sunning  with  lounge  chairs.

Johnson  Yachts  offers  various  layouts,  as  well  semi-custom  modifications  within  this  superyacht  design,  to  allow  owners  to  make  the  most  of  the  hull’s  volume.  A  skylounge  is  a  consideration  for  owners  looking  at  any  yacht  in  the  Johnson  range.  An  on-deck  master  is  not  often  seen  in  yachts  of  this  LOA,  and  the  flexibility  of  the  semi-custom  design  allows  such  changes  as  a  country  kitchen  forward  on  the  main  deck  in  place  of  the  master,  or  additional  guest  staterooms  belowdecks.

“One  thing  to  look  at  on  the  Johnson  93  are  her  really  nice  walkaround  side  decks,”  says  Jeff  Stanley,  the  yacht  broker  at  Gilman  Yachts  in  Ft.  Lauderdale who  is  the  U.S.  East  Coast  dealer  for  this  Johnson  93.  “Her  saloon  is  the  same  width  as  the  90-foot  boats  from  other  builders  with  no  walkarounds.  It’s  indicative  of  the  volume  and  of  this  build—she’s  just  a  bigger  yacht.”  Smart  design  elements  include  a  beefy  three-inch-oval  stainless  steel  handrail  atop  high  bulwarks  to  assure  guests  will  feel  safe  and  protected  when  moving  forward  along  those  side  decks.

The  experience  that  Johnson  Yachts  has  in  building  these  superyachts  comes  through  in  other  important  ways.  In  this  build  series,  the  engine  rooms  are  identical.  Because  of  the  series  production  of  the  93-to  110-foot  models,  the  mechanical  and  electrical  systems  are  on  a  proven  platform  with  more  than  30  builds  in  this  series.  The  result  is  a  standardization  of  systems  with  a  proven  track  record,  rather  than  starting  fresh  with  each  build.

The  Taiwanese  superyacht  builder  will  customize  the  accommodations  space  with  anywhere  from  three  to  six  staterooms,  and  in  fact  no  two  boats  in  the  series  havebeen  identical  as  the  layouts  have  been  tuned  to  owners’  tastes.  But  the  company  knows  its  engineering  and  uses  its  knowledge  to  build  a  boat  that  performs  and  handles  well.  With  a  pair  of  1,925-horsepower  Caterpillar  C32s,  the  Johnson  93  will  cruise  at  21  knots  and  top  out  at  24  knots.

Johnson  Yachts  looks  at  its  builds  the  way  professional  captains  do.  “She  has  twin  4500-series  Maxwell  anchors  that  are  in  pockets  in  the  hull,  not  sticking  out  of  the  bow  like  an  afterthought,”  Stanley  says.  “It’s  a  serious  anchoring  system,  with  300  feet  of  chain.”  This  is  just  one  example  of  many  details  that  meet  the  high  standards  set  by  this  builder. The  Johnson  93  price  is  $4,300,000,  imported  to  the  U.S.,  with  duty  paid.
