Completed Hakvoort Yacht JUST J'S

The 200 Ft. (61m) superyacht JUST J’S features a carefully considered balance of indoor and outdoor spaces. One of the striking features is the positioning of the four guest suites and VIP stateroom on the main deck, ensuring that guests have superb views. The main deck is home to a large dining room and lounge, with the owners’ accommodation housed on a dedicated private deck above. This extra deck comprises the master stateroom forward with large skylight, two bathrooms, a master study and a bar with sky lounge.

Above is the bridge deck with wheelhouse and a range of facilities for the captain, with the rest of the crew also being very well catered for on the lower deck. In addition to seven crew cabins forward, there are two additional guest cabins on the lower deck. The lower deck also features a gym in the spacious lazarette. A large tender and four jetski’s will be launched from both port and starboard. Add in the sun deck with a 3 x 2 meter swimming pool and this is clearly a magnificent superyacht in every sense.

The exterior and interior comes from the drawing boards of Sinot Yacht Design. Naval architecture, construction and engineering design for this project is done by Diana Yacht Design with easy technical accessibility and minimum maintenance requirements.

Since her launch, JUST J’S has been a finalist at the Showboats Design Awards 2017 in the Best Exterior Design & Styling category and was also nominated for an award by the International Superyacht Society in the category ‘best power 40-65 ‘. The most recent event was the World Superyacht Awards 2017. JUST J’S had already been chosen as one of the six nominees in the category for displacement motoryachts between 500GT and 1,299GT, which is an impressive achievement in its own right.

Moran Yacht & Ship negotiated the build contract for JUST J’S, wrote the technical specifications and managed the entire build process for the vessel. Our team was by the owner’s side from concept well through completion.

Just J’s: The transformed 61m Hakvoort superyacht

An American superyacht owner had spent a year looking for the right boat — before he discovered that someone else had already started building it. What followed was a story of fate, faith and circumstances that resulted in Hakvoort’s largest ever project — the 61 metre, five-deck Just J’s .

Today, sitting in the cool, soothing ambience of her saloon, Just J’s looks a completely different boat to the one whose first contract was signed in July 2012. Or indeed from when the second contract was signed in February 2015.

“It’s an interesting story,” says yard director Klaas Hakvoort. In the winter of 2011-2012 Hakvoort , the family-owned yard in the small town of Monnickendam in the Netherlands, was expanding its main shed to 65 metres, upgrading its power supply and had just converted a neighbouring property into workshops for larger vessels. It was looking for a customer.

Fort Lauderdale-based broker Rob Moran contacted Sander Sinot of the eponymous design company and, with the yard, they began working on a 55 metre concept, including pricing, for a Russian client of Moran’s. “It was clear from day one that this would be the next generation Hakvoort,” says Sinot’s lead designer on the project, Paul Costerus.

“It was to be a contemporary profile with lots of windows,” he adds. “We made a rough GA with the yard and developed a preliminary profile, the design concept and a rendering for the owner’s lounge.”

Hakvoort recalls: “The client arrived at 06:30 one morning to have a look at the yard. At 10:30 we went inside to see the plans. He looked at them for half an hour and asked: ‘How big can you go?’ I told him 60 metres. He said: ‘Sixty is not a good number for me. How about 61? I want a price before I leave at noon.’ By 11:45 we had an understanding of where we would use the extra six metres and we had a price. We agreed on it and at 12:15 he left with a signed contract. For months we had been sitting with an empty hall. It was like a gift from heaven.”

With Sinot’s lengthened profile and an interior that accommodated two more guest cabins, the yard set to work on the yacht that would eventually become Just J’s . By spring 2014, Project Golden Age, as she was known then, was already sporting her elaborate dark-wood joinery embellished with gold. Then Russia’s economy fell into crisis and progress payments slowed. “He was a gentleman and continued to pay as he could to avoid foreclosure,” says Hakvoort. “It helped us keep the lights on, but at the end of the year we stopped.”

That was just half of it. A second yacht, a 64 metre, had been signed. Her owner, too, was in financial difficulty. “In six weeks, we went from €110 million in orders to €90 million in cancelled contracts,” says Hakvoort. “You can imagine how stressful that was.”

But Moran stepped in to help. “We shared the project with 40 of our clients and seven of them wanted to make offers,” he says. In January 2015, Moran returned to the yard with a ray of hope: a knowledgeable American customer looking for a contemporary yacht he could have in short order. He sent his captain to evaluate the project.

Within a week, the yard and Sinot showed how they could modify the interior without gutting it, the yard agreed to finish the boat in a year and a new deal was struck. “Sinot did a fantastic job of sizing up the new owners,” says Captain Eric Edscorn, who is on his third boat with them. “We had been looking for a new boat for a year. They knew what they wanted. When I saw the volume this boat presented – it’s like a 68 metre — I thought it was a fantastic opportunity.”

Soon Edscorn was at the yard full-time, organising the changes and fit-out as the owner’s representative. By February the carpenters at Hakvoort were giving Just J’s a vastly different personality. “The American owner wanted a more beach-house theme,” says Costerus. “Our new design covers much of the dark wood with paint or upholstery, using the dark wood now as an accent.”

The studio also worked out a new colour palette for the interior, co-ordinating the indoor and exterior spaces and developing a hierarchy of finishes based on comfort and use. The master cabin, for example, has pure silk wall coverings whereas the hallways are the same colour, but the fabric panels are linen.

Just J’s is strictly for private use and the family sees her as a place to get together and have fun, which explains the bright colours and casual furniture. Edscorn ticked off a few of the major changes, starting with eliminating the varnished teak cap rail and replacing it with stainless steel.

Exterior seating areas were modified and awnings added for shade. On the superyacht sundeck , a small pool was removed and replaced with a much larger countercurrent version sporting custom mosaic tiles and a ceramic sea-themed border – including a little crab clutching a “J” in its claws. This bit of whimsy complements the bold purple cushions and pillows to create a fun chill-out space.

Below, the area aft of the bridge is a cinema room with a 2.4 metre screen. Originally, it was a party room with gloss walnut joinery, gold and green columns and gold fixtures framing a dance floor. Now the floor is whitewashed oak, while mirrors on the tray ceiling have been exchanged for oak squares.

The columns are wrapped in white leather with a Macassar ring peeking through at the top. The outdoor lounge aft has bright aqua accents to make a connection to the sea, says Costerus, while on the aft main deck below, the colour scheme is a more formal blue and silver.

This deck carries the most noticeable transformation to the beach-house look on Just J’s . The saloon is a massive open space with a seating area, a transition area for games or cards and a 14-seat dining area before the foyer. Foyers, actually. The centre of circulation — wide stairs wrapping around a glass lift — has a suitable landing area, but the main entrance from the side deck is a separate and ample lobby further forward, with a water jet-cut inlaid marble floor.

This lobby and the VIP suite, which creates an odd number of cabins on this deck, allowed Sinot to make a bend in the passageway forward to the cabins to avoid the all-too-familiar bowling alley view from the saloon. It creates more privacy and the turn is the perfect spot for a self-service bar for the guests.

The superyacht elevator is an epic feat of construction: it involved a solid central lift shaft that had to be built outside the boat and then lowered into the column. Hakvoort built up to that step, removed the shed’s roof, lowered the lift shaft into place with a crane and then buttoned up the roof again, explains the yard’s project manager Marc van Ditshuizen.

On the aft main deck, a sliding hatch leads to a superyacht gym below that replaces the original steam room. The tender garage has been modified to serve as an extra recreation space on Just J’s . “We don’t need two huge tenders because we travel in tandem with our fishing boat and dayboat,” says Edscorn. With the jet skis in the water or off to the side, the opening shell doors create a “beach”, which the crew set up with inflatable sofas.

In terms of accommodation, each of the guest suites on Just J’s has a neutral background with its own accent colour — orange, purple, light blue, navy blue and beige. The two cabins, a twin and a double, on the lower deck can be organised as a family suite or the twin can be used by nannies.

The owner’s deck on Just J’s is a true retreat and, according to Edscorn, the site of the most elaborate changes. “An owner’s deck was the extra thing they were looking for,” he says. With cupboards and the bed along the wall, the room felt too big. So Sinot flipped the layout, floating the bed under a stunning skylight dome. There are now his and hers dressing rooms en route to his and hers en suites and a separate superyacht office .

A side door leads out to a private deck area forward, including a superyacht spa pool and sunpads. With the superstructure stepping aft sharply, this owner area is invisible from the bridge or sundeck. The outdoor area aft of the owner’s sitting room is the primary spot for alfresco dining. And it’s on this deck that the windows are the stars of the design.

Rather than have the glass walls terminate into posts at the back corners of the room, the glass simply curves around the corner. These huge panels weigh 159kg each and are the most complicated of the 120 glass panels on Just J’s .

Behind the scenes, the boat’s circulation for crew creates a nice trunk for the dumb waiter and a clever spot on the lower and main decks for unobtrusive doors that allow the housekeeping crew to pop into the guest corridors to freshen the cabins. “The five decks allow us to do some great things,” says Costerus, “such as put the big crew mess and laundry on the tank deck, keeping that noise away from the crew cabins on the deck above, and the crew cabins are larger as a result.”

Just J’s won’t suffer from a lack of storage space. “That happened because of the extra deck,” says Hakvoort. “We moved the owner up and then there was room for five guest cabins on the main deck. Their views are absolutely great. All the new enquiries are asking for that. Technically, we are building the boat to the same set of rules as a 50 metre, but the client and crew get so much more space with this layout.”

The reward for these trailblazing owners? They got a brand new boat in about the time it would have taken to refit an existing yacht. The news for Hakvoort is good, too: the halted 64 metre project has a new owner and is back under construction, paving the way for growth for the next generation of big boats in little Monnickendam.

The 200-foot Just J’s has returned to Miami

Owned by billionaire retail king Jay Schottenstein

Just J’s, a 200-foot superyacht owned by retail mogul Jay Schottenstein (CEO of Schottenstein Stores, which has ownership in American Eagle Outfitters, Cold Stone Creamery, and DSW), has returned to the Epic Marina in Downtown Miami.

The name likely comes from the fact all of Jay’s immediate family starts with the letter “J,” notes Super Yacht Fan : “All the names of Jay Schottenstein’s direct relatives start with a J: Jay is married to Jeanne, he has three sons: Joseph, Johnathan and Jeffrey and his grand children are named Jacob and Jonah.”

The majestic vessel’s fitness center is located on the stern, providing a direct water view, and she’s also outfitted with a tender and four jet skis. Just J’s can accommodate 16 guests.
