84’ Cheoy Lee Bravo Versatile Long-Range Cruiser with Exceptional Upgrades
An 84-foot Cheoy Lee Bravo from 2012 presents a rare combination of volume, seakeeping and practical features in this size bracket, and this one stands out for the way systems and spaces are arranged for both social cruising and serious passagemaking. Professionally maintained by captain and crew, the yacht couples robust Caterpillar C32 Acert power with long-range tankage, generous living areas and a factory-built cockpit that expands usable outdoor living while keeping tender handling and water access simple. Recent mechanical attention — including a full 1,000-hour engine service and prop and stabilizer work in August 2025 — supports immediate cruising readiness, while the air-conditioned flybridge, TNT tender lift and large galley make her equally well suited to weekend entertaining or extended stays aboard.
84′ Cheoy Lee Bravo (2012) Motor Yacht Overview
Measuring 84′ overall with a 20′ beam and a 5’5″ draft, this fiberglass-hulled motor yacht is powered by twin Caterpillar C32 Acert mains rated at 1,600 hp each (approximately 2,400 hours) delivering a comfortable cruise near 20 knots and a top end around 24 knots; long-range capability is supported by a single 2,700-gallon fuel tank and a 1,100-gallon fresh water capacity, while twin 32 kW generators, Seakeeper-style stabilization controls and bow/stern thrusters make close-quarters maneuvering and anchoring straightforward. Construction and systems show a focus on sound and vibration attenuation, engine-room ventilation and redundancy, from oversized mufflers and underwater exhausts to dual Racor filtration with vacuum gauges and a Reverso lube-oil change manifold for underway service.
Spacious Three-Stateroom Layout and Crew Quarters
The interior plan places guest comfort forward and owner privacy amidships: two full-beam king staterooms (master and island king VIP) plus a forward queen provide roomy accommodations, each with cedar-lined storage, entertainment systems and ensuite heads with granite appointments and stall showers; a well-appointed main salon features opposite settees, a round dining table and a full bar, while the stainless-steel and Sub-Zero–equipped galley with island and breakfast bar supports serious provisioning and service. Crew quarters are accessed through the cockpit transom, offering two crew staterooms, a lounge with U-Line refrigeration and microwave, and a private head with shower, giving separation between owner/guest spaces and the engine room while maintaining easy service access to machinery and deck operations.
Factory-Built Cockpit, TNT Lift and Deck Features
The factory-built cockpit is a distinctive, low-profile entertaining and working platform with molded swim platform, transom dive door, an aquarium-style livewell and chilled storage plus a stowed 1,200 lb davit; a TNT lift carries a 2019 15′ ZAR tender with a 90 hp outboard, GPS and folding arch for quick deployment of toys or day trips. Aft-deck teak, a wet bar with refrigerator and ice maker, multiple dining positions and wide walkaround side decks with boarding gates create flexible exterior spaces for fishing, swimming or alfresco dining, while canopy sun shades and a substantial flybridge hardtop with EZC2Y three-sided enclosure extend usable outdoor time in variable weather.
Performance, Propulsion, Stability and Recent Upgrades
Twin C32 Acerts provide strong mid-20 knot performance with efficient cruise at 20 knots, supported by 5-blade Nibral props, dripless shaft seals and Seashaft/shaft strut arrangements; bow and stern thrusters are PTO-driven for responsive maneuvering and Naiad stabilizer systems deliver increased comfort underway and at anchor. Recent maintenance concentrated on propulsion and motion-control reliability — props tuned and treated with PropSpeed and stabilizers inspected in August 2025, alongside the main engine 1,000-hour service that included fuel cooler and heat exchanger work — which together reduce near-term service needs for a new owner.
Integrated Electronics, Navigation and Monitoring Systems
Navigation and monitoring are anchored by a comprehensive Garmin suite (open-array radar, dual 17″ MFDs, AIS), Furuno autopilot, KVH TracVision satellite TV, dedicated radar and antenna installations plus multiple Icom VHFs; an onboard Maretron monitoring backbone and PLC-based alarm/control touch screen tie tankage, fire system, weather sensors and engine-room cameras into integrated displays at helm and crew stations. Additional safeguards and convenience come from CCTV with PTZ cameras recording to DVR, Nav-Tracker satellite/GPS asset monitoring, a Yacht Controller remote docking station, and dual generator control displays that simplify systems management while cruising.
Key Highlights Recap and Next Steps for Interested Buyers
