2016 Merritt 86' Enclosed Flybridge

West Palm Beach, Florida

$12,500,000

The Bree is a 86 foot Merritt enclosed flybridge boat that seamlessly blends the luxury of a yacht with the capabilities of a top-tier tournament fishing vessel. The enclosure provides a comfortable space for owners and guests to enjoy the bridge while staying protected from the elements. Even in challenging seas, the Bree ensures a smooth, stable ride, courtesy of its Seakeeper gyrostabilizer. Equipped with efficient Caterpillar C32A engines and a substantial 3,300-gallon fuel tank, this boat is built for long journeys without excessive fuel consumption. Competing in billfish tournament series around the globe, it boasts cutting-edge electronics and advanced gear, including Omni sonar, to optimize fishing success.

The owners’ exceptional attention to detail is evident throughout the vessel, which has been maintained to the highest standards. Inside, the Bree features a spacious layout with five staterooms and five heads. The master suite is thoughtfully designed, complete with dual sinks in the head. The salon showcases an islandstyle bar that promotes easy entertaining and cooking, and is fitted with top-of-the-line appliances and fixtures. An oversized pantry provides ample storage for dry goods, while six Sub-Zero refrigeration units keep cold items fresh. In the cockpit, you’ll find two large freezers and additional fridge/freezer combos. Signature Merritt woodwork enriches the interior, highlighted by a custom spiral staircase leading to the flybridge. Up top, the flybridge feels like the cockpit of a spaceship, featuring state-of-the-art electronics and two oversized seats alongside the captain’s chair for ultimate comfort while underway. A drop-down TV on the bridge adds to the entertainment options.

This is the fourth Merritt the owners have built, and their pursuit of perfection is evident in every detail. This is a rare opportunity to own one of the best-maintained sportfishing yachts in the industry.
