Overview
About this vessel
Heart Polaris is a 2015 Jeanneau 53 offering an unusually versatile five-guest-cabin layout, extensive cruising equipment and significant recent investment following a comprehensive haul-out and maintenance programme completed in June 2026.
The Jeanneau 53 combines Philippe Briand's performance-oriented hull design with the interior volume expected of Jeanneau's larger cruising range. Heart Polaris is configured with five guest cabins plus a separate crew cabin, providing accommodation for up to 10 guests plus crew, with 3 guest heads and a separate crew head.
She is powered by a Yammer 4JH4-TE 75HP diesel engine with approximately 2,000 hours, supported by an Onan 6kW generator with only approximately 300 hours. A bow thruster assists with manoeuvring.
The yacht is Chinese registered and China tax paid, and her current owner is open to discussing relocation arrangements with prospective buyers. Worldwide delivery can also be arranged, making Heart Polaris accessible to buyers intending to cruise beyond China.
Comprehensive June 2026 Haul-Out & Refit
One of the most significant aspects of Heart Polaris is the extensive programme of work completed during her June 2026 haul-out. The work covered propulsion, rigging, underwater protection, anchoring equipment and sails, providing a strong starting point for her next owner.
Works completed include: Major Yammer engine service, engine oil, oil filter and fuel filters replaced, major Onan generator service, mast inspected, standing rigging inspected, three electric winches serviced, shaft seal replaced, keel inspected, five coats of Jotun EASYPRO epoxy barrier coating, two coats of Hempel antifouling, hull polished and waxed, new 60m × 12mm DIN anchor chain, new 130% Wilfer genoa, new 3.2m dinghy, and bow thruster inspected and maintained.
The signed owner's particulars independently record the principal June 2026 works, including the engine and generator servicing, rig inspection, winch servicing, shaft seal replacement, keel inspection, epoxy barrier coating, antifouling, new chain, genoa and tender.
Yammer Diesel Power & Bow Thruster
Heart Polaris is powered by a Yammer 4JH4-TE 75HP diesel engine driving through a shaft. The engine has approximately 2,000 running hours and underwent a major service as part of the June 2026 maintenance programme.
A bow thruster provides valuable assistance when manoeuvring a yacht of this size in confined marinas. Electrical power away from shore is supported by an Onan 6kW diesel generator, with approximately 300 running hours, which also received a major service in June 2026.
Five Guest Cabins Plus Crew Accommodation
The accommodation layout is one of Heart Polaris's strongest features. She provides five guest cabins plus a separate crew cabin, with a total of four heads. The arrangement provides sleeping accommodation for up to 10 guests plus crew, making particularly effective use of the considerable interior volume available aboard the Jeanneau 53.
The configuration lends itself particularly well to large families, groups of friends and owners planning extended periods aboard. It may also be of interest to buyers considering future commercial use, subject to the registration, licensing and regulatory requirements of their chosen jurisdiction.
Three Dometic air-conditioning units provide additional comfort in warmer climates.
Extensive Sail Inventory
Heart Polaris carries a versatile sail inventory suitable for different cruising conditions. The 130% Wilfer genoa was replaced in June 2026, while the mast and standing rigging were inspected during the same haul-out.
Her sail inventory includes: 130% Wilfer genoa (new June 2026), original Jeanneau performance mainsail, secondary/spare mainsail, standard genoa, spinnaker, and storm jib.
She is sloop rigged and equipped with three electric winches, all of which were serviced in June 2026. The owner's signed inventory confirms the two-mainsail arrangement together with the additional headsails.
Dual Electrical Systems for Extended Cruising
A particularly useful feature for longer-distance cruising is Heart Polaris's two separate battery systems. The principal 12V system incorporates approximately 1,000Ah lead-acid battery capacity and a Mastervolt 2,000W inverter.
A separate 24V backup system provides 314Ah LiFePO4 lithium battery bank and 3,000W inverter. The combination provides substantial onboard electrical capacity together with additional redundancy for extended periods away from shore power. Both systems are recorded in the owner's signed vessel particulars.
Watermaker & Liveaboard Equipment
Heart Polaris has been equipped with extended cruising and liveaboard use in mind. A Dessalator watermaker producing approximately 100 litres per hour complements the yacht's substantial freshwater capacity.
This combination provides useful autonomy for owners intending to spend extended periods aboard or cruise between destinations where marina facilities may be limited.
Raymarine Navigation Package
The yacht carries a comprehensive Raymarine navigation package including 11-inch chartplotter, radar, autopilot, VHF, depth sounder, AIS, GPS, electronic charts, wind speed and direction instruments, and magnetic compass.
The signed equipment inventory also confirms GPS/chartplotter, radar, autopilot, AIS and VHF equipment aboard.
New Ground Tackle & Dinghy
The anchoring system also benefited from the June 2026 programme. A 25kg Delta anchor is connected to 60 metres of new 12mm DIN anchor chain, operated through a Lewmar electric windlass.
The tender package comprises a 3.2m dinghy (new June 2026) and Yamaha 12HP outboard. Together with the watermaker, generator, substantial battery capacity and bow thruster, these additions reinforce Heart Polaris's suitability for extended cruising.
Chinese Registered & Tax Paid
Heart Polaris was built in France in 2015 and is currently Chinese registered and China tax paid. Worldwide delivery is available, and Asia Yacht Brokers can assist prospective buyers in exploring delivery options to Southeast Asia or other international destinations.
