- CENTRAL AGENT - >> MORE PICTURES ON REQUEST ________________________________________________ The Jongert 25DS HIDE N SEA is a 28,77m luxury cruising ketch with a steel hull and aluminium superstructure. She was built in 1992 by the renowned Dutch shipyard Jongert. HIDE N SEA stands out from the popular classic 25 DS series with her separated pilot station in the forward part of the deck house. This area has three doors, two on stb and portside to access the deck and one to the guest seating area, allowing complete privacy for the owner and the guests in the aft deck house and al fresco dining area. Under deck, the central saloon with large windows features on starboard a cosy bar with serving hatch to the galley and on the portside a large seating area with a beautifully crafted large dining table for eight that folds hydraulically into a cocktail table. Aft of the saloon, HIDE N SEA accommodates six to seven guests, a full-width master stateroom with the typical aft Jongert transom windows and two large guest cabins (one with additional Pullman berth), all with en-suite bathrooms. Forward of the saloon and separated with a sliding door to the saloon for privacy is the galley, the crew dinette and two crew cabins with en-suite bathrooms. HIDE N SEA was purchased in 2018 by her current owner who sailed her for one season throughout the Med and then to the Jongert Shipyard in Holland for an extensive refit project in 2019 - 2020. The goal was to prepare her for an extensive world cruising program, but the owner changed his plans and decided to place her on the market for sale. HIDE N SEA has completed a comprehensive refit and is now in good technical condition and ready for extended cruising. An experienced yachtsman will acknowledge her great qualities as a safe, reliable and absolutely comfortable “world cruiser”. ________________________________________________ Substantial refit HIDE N’SEA (build No: 370) at Jongert B.V.
