General introduction – J87SL
“Maranatha” is a beautiful example of Johnson’s 87’ Skylounge Motor Yacht. This 2-owner yacht has been meticulously maintained by knowledgeable yachtsmen since taking ownership in 2013. The J87SL offers more of a “Mega-yacht” feel compared with similar quality-built motor yachts of her time, this is in part because of the yachts 23’ 6" beam, the smart interior design, combined with use of handcrafted cherry wood and sumptuous soft-goods which creates large, open, and beautiful living spaces, pilot stations and staterooms.
Accommodations and crew stateroom features include 4-Owner and guest staterooms and 2-Crew/5 & 6th guest staterooms with ensuite heads. The main deck offers a king owners suite with an incredible ensuite head and laundry, a luxurious VIP suite, and two guest staterooms all with ensuite heads, wrapped in beautiful handcraft cherry wood. The crew staterooms are accessed via a port side deck door or through the aft swim deck watertight door.

Transom , main deck and skylounge decks
Getting aboard and around Maranatha is easy, thanks to many great features of this motor yacht. Starting with stepping onto the swim platform with large stainless handrails along both sides of the transom, large staple-style swim platform safety rails give you confidence as you step from the dock onto the large swim deck, then large moderate-rise steps lead you to the spacious aft deck. Getting to and from the foredeck is very easy with the wide teak decks and again large oval handrails give you confidence moving between the spaces. Once inside the yacht there are easy to manage stairways that make it simple to get between the main, lower and skylounge decks.
