The Sea Ray 480 Sedan Bridge is one of the most sought after models in the highly regarding Sea Ray lineup due to an outstanding design offering space and convenience normally found only in much larger yachts coupled with incredible quality of construction and classic styling that has allowed well maintained vessels to show and perform like yachts a small fraction of their age.This particular 480 has enjoyed a cherished life from new and it shows throughout.
The large aft cockpit offers tremendous space for lounging with additional room for folding chairs and a large table. The transom features a large fishbox/storage compartment adjacent to a second deep compartment that can be accessed from the swim platform or the cockpit itself. Both the cockpit and flybridge feature SeaDek flooring throughout. There is a huge amount of storage in her lazarette as well as under the molded fiberglass steps leading to the flybridge (this understairs storage area also contains conveniently accessed main battery switches, DC breakers, generator monitoring gauges as well as a fuel distribution manifold).
Those molded steps lead to her roomy and well laid out helm with 360-degree visibility through her custom Strataglass full bridge enclosure, brand new in 2026. When docking seasoned captains will be amazed by the almost unheard of ability to easily view her forward anchor pulpit as well as the corners of the swim platform from the helm, a true and extremely rare luxury when docking.
There is ample lounge seating forward of the helm in addition to a wet bar with sink, under-counter storage and a flybridge refrigerator. The full suite of electronics include a Raymarine E120 plotter with open-array radar, a B&G autopilot, digital displays for the Caterpillar 3196's, controls for her bow thruster, a new high-end Raymarine VHF radio and controls for her anchor windlass, remote spotlight, stereo etc.
Back down below the interior layout of the 480 Sedan Bridge offers her owners & guests all the comforts of home with a very inviting single-level layout accessed through the elegant sliding glass and stainless-steel door through to the salon & galley areas. The floor to ceiling glass and stainless steel "wall" adjacent to the main door can be fully opened to allow one seamless indoor/outdoor area when the weather is nice.
Once inside you will find a large open salon with ample lounge seating, loads of natural light, and warm cherry cabinetry finishes with a large galley to starboard and a full-size dinette across to port. Her large sofa converts automatically to a bed with the touch of a button for those rare occasions when a fourth stateroom would be handy.
Her galley is loaded with countertop space, large and cleverly engineered cabinets, plenty of storage and an individual large fridge and separate freezer with icemaker each with matching cherry veneer fronts. All upholstery is in excellent condition as are the carpets (that have been consistently protected with custom covers) headliner and cherry veneer throughout. There are three zones of A/C and heat for climate control in all living areas with each of the units offering a dehumidifying cycle.
Going forward from the salon and down a few steps are the three staterooms and two large head compartments, each with a separate roomy shower. To port is a VIP stateroom with a double bed and a full-length cedar-lined closet with direct access to the head and shower and to starboard you will find twin bunks and access to her built in washer/dryer combo. Both of these large staterooms feature plenty of storage options and a skylight in addition to ample lighting throughout. Going fully forward is the spacious master stateroom and the large master head compartment with the second roomy separate shower. There are televisions in both the master and the port side staterooms.
"Sunset Serenity" is currently in a fully transferable slip at a stunning beach marina in the heart of Clearwater Beach. Her coveted slip includes access to the resort facilities including indoor parking at the on-site hotel. For local buyers this marina offers the benefit of her slip being in a calm, quiet and protected area of the intercoastal with the Gulf front beach sand, restaurants and nightlife at one the most highly acclaimed beaches in the United States less than a five-minute walk away.
Here is what the press have to say in reviews of the highly regarded 480 Sedan Bridge line:
"Sea Ray got it right with the 480 Sedan Bridge, one of the best looking sedan cruisers of her era. Built on a fully cored hull with prop pockets to reduce the shaft angles, the 480 boasts a surprisingly large interior for a boat this size. Step through the sliding glass doors to a spacious salon with its convertible sofa, dinette, and built-in entertainment center. Opposite, the large galley is designed with an island-style breakfast bar and under-counter refrigeration. There are three staterooms on the lower level including a full-size berth in the portside stateroom, twin bunks (and a washer/dryer combo) in the starboard stateroom, and a spacious master stateroom forward with an entertainment center. On deck, molded cockpit steps lead up to the bridge where wraparound lounge seating is located forward of an extremely well-designed helm console. Additional features include high-gloss interior cabinetry, an extended swim platform, transom storage, wide side decks, and a fiberglass hardtop."
