A Wide-Body Masterpiece: Combining Superyacht Volume with Dixon Design Precision
When evaluating a yacht in the 80 to 90-foot range, the most critical metric often isn’t length—it is the beam. ALENIEL, a custom-refit 87’ Johnson, challenges the conventions of its class with a 23’ 6’’ beam that is just inches shy of a 112’ Westport.
For the owner who prioritizes social volume and effortless entertaining, this width changes everything.
A Footprint Without Compromise
The Bill Dixon design utilizes every inch of that extra-wide footprint to create an “open-concept” feel rarely seen in this segment. This is most evident in the sprawling main salon and the iconic “Country Kitchen,” which serves as a natural hub for family and guests.
Unlike many yachts of this vintage, ALENIEL has been meticulously brought into 2026 with a $2.4M+ value proposition in recent upgrades. The interior now features:
Contemporary Decor: New custom leather sofas, armchairs, and sophisticated wall coverings.
State-of-the-Art Tech: A 2025 AV overhaul including Starlink Marine and Apple TV integration in every cabin.
Mechanical Peace of Mind: Rebuilt 33kW generators and fully serviced CAT C32 engines.
Designed for Destination Versatility
Beyond the volume, ALENIEL is uniquely equipped for diverse cruising grounds. It features a hydraulic descending fiberglass hardtop and a folding radar arch. This allows for a 20’ clearance, making it one of the few large-volume yachts capable of navigating the bridge heights of the Great Lakes while remaining equally at home in the turquoise waters of the Bahamas.
