Anyone looking for a classic steel sailing yacht with volume, comfort and a look you don’t see every day will quickly end up with Jongert. This 1978 Jongert 16S is the kind of boat that invites you to stay longer: live aboard, plan long voyages, or simply head out every weekend as if you have a second home on the water. She is 16 metres long, 4 metres wide and, with a draft of 2 metres, feels at home at sea as well as on spacious inland waters. With an air draft of approx. 19 metres and an interior headroom of about 2 metres, she was built for people who appreciate space.
She is steel-built and weighs approx. 42,000 kg. You notice that in her presence and in the feeling she gives when you’re on deck. Steering is outside with a wheel, and on board you’ll find amenities suited to comfortable stays: air conditioning, central heating, hot water, a shower and an electric toilet that does not discharge directly into open water. With 6 fixed berths, the Jongert 16S is also practical for family, guests or a crew that values privacy.
This Jongert is laid out and equipped with longer stays on board in mind. With water tanks of approx. 2,500 litres and a diesel tank of approx. 2,500 litres, you can remain autonomous for a long time, depending on your usage. The Vetus Deutz 286 hp inboard diesel (approx. 2,600 running hours) provides the power to travel comfortably under engine as well, with a cruising speed around 12 km/h and a top speed around 16 km/h. For manoeuvring, an electric bow thruster is fitted, which can make a real difference in harbours and in crosswinds.
She is also complete in terms of energy supply: shore power, battery charger, inverter, alternator and solar panels are present. With 8 batteries and a total capacity of approx. 1,300 Ah, there is a large buffer for onboard consumption. In addition, there is a Kohler generator (12 kW) for extra independence, for example when running air conditioning or during longer anchoring stops.
For those searching “Jongert 16S for sale” or “16 metre steel sailing yacht”, equipment is often decisive—especially if you truly intend to sail. This boat features an extensive navigation package including AIS, radar, GPS, chartplotter, VHF radio, compass, depth sounder and log. This makes her suitable for coastal cruising and crossings, provided everything is checked and set up to your own requirements.
In terms of safety, there are, among other items, a liferaft, lifebuoy and a self-draining cockpit. An electric bilge pump is installed. On deck, two anchors with chain and an electric windlass support comfortable anchoring. The exterior equipment is generous: bimini, sprayhood, cockpit tent, cockpit table, guardrails, pulpit and stern seats, swim ladder and swim platform. The teak deck gives her that classic Jongert appearance many enthusiasts fall for.
According to the information provided, the boat is in reasonable condition and is used daily on the water. However, clear cosmetic and technical points of attention have been mentioned. The bow section and parts of the teak require repair, and the sealing of the teak needs local attention as well. In addition, the hull paintwork may require attention in places. These are items you’ll want to factor into your plan and budget as a buyer, especially if you want her exterior to look pristine again.
It is also stated that the autopilot needs attention. A wheelpilot has been installed but does not function properly. For many sailors this is an important point—especially on longer passages—and it is wise to assess this carefully during a viewing.
Inside, she is set up for genuine living aboard. The galley is equipped with a cooker, oven, microwave, refrigerator and freezer, keeping longer stays practical. Air conditioning is present and there is central heating. The combination of space, headroom and amenities makes her interesting for those searching “liveaboard sailing yacht” or “sailing yacht to live on”. The owner describes her as a vessel that feels like home, with a spacious master cabin as a favourite place to relax.
The boat was purchased in 1999 from the first owner. In the past, major work was carried out at RMK Istanbul, including renewal of the deck and superstructure, blasting of the hull and renewal of the interior. In 2003 the engine was replaced with the current Vetus Deutz 286 hp and the generator was also installed. A bow thruster was added at that time and various systems were renewed. In 2014 further interior work was carried out and Simrad electronics were mentioned. In 2020 air conditioning units were added. She was hauled out in 2025 and received an antifouling treatment in 2025.
Included in the sale are, among other items, a stainless-steel fold-out boarding step with teak, diving gear, tools and a Webasto air heater (new, not yet installed). A tender is also included: a Highfield 290 with a Suzuki 2.5 hp outboard engine—handy for anchorages and short trips ashore.
This Jongert 16S is therefore an invitation to lovers of classic steel sailing yachts: a vessel with substantial volume, extensive equipment and a clear list of points of attention that the next owner can address to their own taste. Viewing via BoatAuction gives you the chance to experience her atmosphere, space and potential for yourself.
