53 Sea Ray 2005 Boat for Sale

53' Sea Ray 2005

With her sweeping profile, richly finished interior and inviting spaces for entertaining, this 2005 Sea Ray 500 Sundancer offers an appealing balance of express-yacht styling and comfortable extended cruising. She is equally suited to an afternoon on the water with friends or a longer escape, with private accommodation and the onboard amenities that make spending more time aboard a pleasure.

Freshwater kept since new until this year and powered by twin 640 HP Cummins engines with approximately 750 hours, this example stands apart for her preservation and notably low engine hours for a 2005 model. Her freshwater history is an important part of her appeal, complemented by recent improvements that enhance both everyday comfort and the ownership experience.

Annual service has just been completed, and recent updates include new bow cushions, new lithium house batteries, and new entertainment speakers and an amplifier system. A 2008 Williams 285 Jet tender is also included, extending the experience beyond the yacht herself.

EXTERIOR LIVING & HELM

The 500 Sundancer’s flowing lines and distinctive bow profile give her a confident presence without sacrificing the practical considerations of life aboard. Her express-yacht arrangement keeps the helm and outdoor living areas closely connected, allowing the captain to remain part of the conversation while family and guests enjoy the surroundings.

The new bow cushions create an inviting place to unwind at anchor, offering a separate outdoor retreat for reading, sunbathing or simply taking in the view. Together with the updated entertainment speakers and amplifier, these improvements bring a fresh dimension to relaxed afternoons and evenings aboard.

At the helm, an ergonomically arranged console places the controls within convenient reach. Clear sightlines and a Euro-style captain’s chair with a flip-up thigh-rise bolster provide a comfortable command position, whether navigating between destinations or making the final approach to the dock.

SALON & INTERIOR

Below deck, high-gloss wood cabinetry establishes a warm, polished atmosphere, giving the interior a residential feel while incorporating useful storage throughout. The result is a space that is welcoming enough for everyday use and refined enough for entertaining.

The salon provides a comfortable retreat from the open deck, whether gathering with guests, enjoying a quiet evening or settling in during a longer stay aboard. A flat-screen television, DVD player and sound system complement the living space, while the cabinetry helps keep personal belongings and cruising essentials neatly organized.

Rather than relying on styling alone, the interior combines its finishes with a practical arrangement that supports time aboard as a couple, with family or with overnight guests.

WELL-APPOINTED GALLEY

Positioned to starboard, the galley brings together the equipment needed for convenient meal preparation without interrupting the interior’s clean appearance.

Appointments include a recessed two-burner stove, microwave/convection oven and coffeemaker, supported by generous cabinetry for provisions, cookware and tableware. The refrigerator and freezer are concealed beneath the counter, maintaining a cohesive finish while keeping essentials close at hand.

From breakfast before departure to dinner after a day exploring, the galley is arranged to make onboard dining a natural part of the cruising experience.

PRIVATE OWNER & GUEST ACCOMMODATIONOwner’s Stateroom

The owner’s stateroom provides a private retreat with a queen-size berth, entertainment centre and flat-screen television. Its separation from the main living area allows owners to enjoy their own space without giving up the comfort and convenience of a fully appointed cruising yacht.

The warm interior finishes carry through into the accommodation, creating a consistent atmosphere throughout the vessel.

Guest Stateroom

The port guest stateroom features upper and lower bunks, a cedar-lined hanging locker, a mirrored door and additional storage. This arrangement offers practical accommodation for children, friends or visiting family, with dedicated space for their belongings.

The two-stateroom, two-head layout adds meaningful privacy and convenience, making the yacht well suited to shared weekends and longer stays aboard.

CUMMINS POWER & RECENT UPDATES

Twin 640 HP Cummins diesel inboards with V-drives provide the propulsion, with approximately 750 engine hours currently recorded. The low hours are a notable feature of this 2005 example and an important part of her overall appeal.

With annual service recently completed, the yacht also benefits from attention to several areas that matter in everyday ownership. New lithium house batteries update the domestic battery installation, while the new speakers and amplifier system refresh the onboard entertainment equipment.

These additions complement the vessel’s freshwater history and existing appointments without changing the character that makes the 500 Sundancer such an attractive express-yacht design.

WILLIAMS JET TENDER INCLUDED

A 2008 Williams 285 Jet tender is included with the yacht, providing a convenient way to go ashore or explore nearby coves while the Sundancer remains at anchor.

For owners who enjoy spending time beyond the marina, the tender adds a useful element to the cruising package, supporting everything from shore visits to a closer look at the next anchorage.
