Denison Yachting presents JOHNSON II, a well-maintained 56' Johnson High Tech Euro Motoryacht built in 1996, currently located in Bradenton, Florida. Priced at $249,000 USD, this three-stateroom performance cruiser features rare MAN diesel engines with only 1,790 original hours and a proven track record of excellent sea-keeping abilities, capable of cruising at 25 knots with a notably dry ride even in challenging conditions.

The vessel underwent extensive updates between 2020-2023, including a full exterior paint job in 2021, interior updates in 2020, new Garmin chart plotters in 2022, and comprehensive main engine service in 2023 with complete documentation. Additional improvements include updated air conditioning systems and a hydraulic extended tender swim platform. The yacht features all stainless steel windows and door frames, three running stations (flybridge, lower helm, and aft deck), plus bow and stern thrusters for precise maneuvering.
Accommodations include three private ensuite staterooms with standing stall showers. The full-width master stateroom is positioned aft for privacy and features a centerline queen bed, dual hanging lockers, entertainment system, and dedicated climate controls. Forward, the VIP stateroom offers a centerline queen berth with ensuite head, while the guest cabin provides twin berths. The galley-down layout includes Sub-Zero refrigeration, a three-burner cooktop, microwave, dishwasher, and trash compactor. The expansive salon features a U-shaped lounge, entertainment system with surround sound, and lower helm station with comprehensive navigation equipment including Furuno radar, Simrad autopilot, and VHF radio.
Additional equipment includes an 11-battery system with a Northern Lights generator (2,909 hours), six bilge pumps with high-water alarms, Halon fire suppression, KVH satellite TV, Splendid washer/dryer in the laundry area, and a Switvik six-man survival raft. The flybridge offers L-shaped seating, wet bar with refrigerator, bimini top with full enclosure, and complete helm controls with forward-scanning sonar.
