The Long Island 87 is a 87-foot aluminum catamaran designed by Marc Lombard Yacht Design Group in partnership with JFA Yachts. Built on decades of experience with large cruising multihulls, the design prioritizes durability and reliability for long-range voyaging. The hull structure is engineered for weight efficiency without compromise, enabling strong performance under sail and power across varying sea conditions. Powered by twin 380 hp Yanmar diesel engines, the catamaran is configured for fuel economy and extended autonomy.
The yacht accommodates six cabins and five heads, providing substantial space for cruising crews and families. The aluminum construction combines with composite elements and integrated technical systems throughout, reflecting JFA's specialization in these building methods. The carefully managed weight of the structure—approximately 30 percent lighter than comparable vessels of this size—contributes to improved speed and reduced fuel consumption during extended passages.
Engineering emphasis falls on safety, comfort, and self-sufficiency for bluewater operation. The design supports the demands of long-distance cruising in open ocean conditions.
