The Polish boatyard Northman Shipyard is very well known and respected in Europe in the segment of modern powerboats in the 6 to 13 meter size range. They have received international attention and been nominated for prestigious awards such as European Powerboat of the Year.

Northman Shipyard began building powerboats in 2012. In 2018, they expanded their powerboat range by introducing the luxury powerboat line under their own name Northman, with the model Northman 1200. There is no public, exact figure for the total number of Northman 1200 powerboats produced. The boatyard states a general total capacity of over 150 boats per year for its entire range (including sailboats and other models), but specific production statistics per model are not published.

The size of the engine provides a comfortable cruising speed of 6 –7 knots, which is well suited for archipelago trips. It also means that fuel consumption can be kept at 1.1 – 1.5 liters per nautical mile. The boat's dimensions and draft also make it well suited for canal trips.

What distinguishes the Northman 1200 - JABA II is the bright and spacious deck saloon with both a helm station, a sitting area with sofa and a galley. The aft wall has a double door that can be folded to the side and in the extension of the galley bench there is a glass hatch that can be folded up so that serving can take place out onto the aft deck.

Aft deck is under a roof with canopy sides that can be rolled down. Therefore, the aft deck becomes a pleasant seating area that can be used both on sunny summer days and cool evenings. The Flybridge has a helm station with two fixed chairs that make it comfortable to drive the boat from this position. There is also a U-shaped sofa and the possibility of putting out cushions for a 'sunbed'.

The layout provides a very nice opportunity to bring guests by offering both a forward cabin as an 'Owners cabin' and two guest cabins and two toilets. A not entirely common layout in this size of boat.

The owners bought the boat new for the summer season 2023. They have maintained the boat well and my opinion is that JABA II is in very good condition. A new owner can therefore comfortably move aboard and enjoy new archipelago experiences.

JABA II has its home port in Valdemarsvik and we can show the boat by appointment.
