M/Y Blacksheep
A 2009 Palmer Johnson 125-footer refreshed in 2023 and ready to run.
"Blacksheep" is a 2009 Palmer Johnson 125' motor yacht offered for sale at $5,950,000, lying Fort Lauderdale, Florida. South Florida is the deepest brokerage market in the world for large motor yachts, and condition separates the good buys from the money pits - which is why independent buyer representation matters more here than anywhere.
Power is twin MTU 16V2000 M93, 2,400 hp each. She cruises around 15 knots and tops out near 21 knots, carrying 5,877 gallons of fuel.
Accommodations run to 4 staterooms for 9 guests, plus crew quarters sleeping 3. She carries naval architecture by Palmer Johnson and interior by Aileen Rodriguez.

That is the lens every Double G buyer gets on this listing: what the hull is really worth, what the survey should focus on, and how she compares with every sistership currently for sale.

What does it cost to run a 125-foot motor yacht?
As of 2026, industry estimates for a crewed 125-footer typically run high six figures to low seven figures per year, with a crew of about six to seven, covering crew, fuel, insurance, dockage, and maintenance. Greg can build a realistic operating budget for this yacht before you offer.
Where can I see "Blacksheep"?
She is lying in Fort Lauderdale, Florida and shows by appointment through your broker. Contact Double G Yacht Sales to arrange a private showing.
How does the purchase process work?
Accepted offer, then a survey and sea trial contingency of typically 7 to 14 days. Greg - a licensed captain with 20+ years at sea - attends the survey and sea trial personally and manages everything through closing.
How much is Florida sales tax on a yacht?
Florida charges 6% sales tax on boats but caps the total at $18,000 per vessel regardless of price - one of the most favorable regimes in the US. Out-of-state buyers who remove the vessel within the statutory window may qualify for an exemption.

Cruise around 15 knots, top speed about 21 knots and 5,877 gallons of fuel with twin MTU 16V2000 M93, 2,400 hp each - comfortable Florida-Bahamas legs and seasonal Caribbean runs.
