This 2004-built JMV 100 is a 30.4-metre steel motor yacht designed by naval architect Gilles Vaton, built for serious long-range cruising rather than marina showboating. The 6.99-metre beam gives her real stability and interior volume, with four cabins laid out for extended family trips or hosting guests in comfort. She's currently berthed in Menton, on the French Riviera, well placed for cruising between the Côte d'Azur, Italy and further afield.
Vaton's design favours displacement efficiency and comfortable passage-making over flash, which shows in her proportions and the way she sits in the water. Steel construction brings a level of structural toughness and impact resistance that most fibreglass motor yachts her size can't match, which matters if you're planning real ocean miles rather than coastal hops. The price has recently been reduced to EUR 1,980,000, putting a 100-foot steel motor yacht with proven European cruising history within reach for buyers who might otherwise be priced out of this class.
Vessels like this, built properly and sized for serious voyaging, don't come up often at this level.
