1992 Palmer Johnson 90 Doggersbank "Gembery"

Built by Palmer Johnson and drawn by the Dutch naval architects at Vripack as part of their celebrated Doggersbank line, Gembery comes from a time when a yacht of this size was expected to be a proper ship. Her all-aluminum hull, commanding pilothouse and classic, seagoing proportions give her a presence that production yachts rarely manage. With 5,800 gallons of fuel and a range of over 3,000 nautical miles, she is as much at home on a passage to the Caribbean as she is in a quiet Bahamian anchorage. Aboard, she has real warmth and character. Varnished teak and cherry joinery, teak-and-holly soles and large salon windows fill her interior with natural light. A full-beam master suite and two en suite guest staterooms provide comfortable accommodations for up to 8. A formal dining salon, a Miele and Sub-Zero-equipped galley with an additional dining nook, and a flybridge and sundeck made for long evenings outside round out the living spaces. She was built for owners who want to spend serious time aboard. Between late 2024 and August 2026, Gembery went through a comprehensive refit touching nearly every system aboard. Her hull received fresh bottom paint and a full repaint from the waterline to the mast. Behind the joinery, she received a complete rebuild of her AC and DC electrical systems, a conversion of more than 200 fixtures to LED, an all-new chilled-water climate plant, and a networked Garmin glass bridge at both helms with Starlink connectivity. The result is a yacht with the heart of a classic, the systems of a modern cruiser, ready to go wherever her next owner has in mind.
