Sea Ray’s L550 is a smartly-designed express cruiser that is owner-operator friendly, though it does have a crew cabin in case owners prefer to have a captain or mate for the weekend. Allied Marine has Flamingo, a 2018 Sea Ray L550, listed for $1.1 million.

“Whether cruising along the coastline or embarking on an extended journey, the L550 provides the right amenities,” says Allied Marine. “Every detail has been considered for you, your family, and your quest to enjoy a day on the water.”

Exterior entertainment is not overlooked on this 55-foot express cruiser. On the bow, guests will find two seating options, the bench seat aft and the bow-rider seating forward. In the cockpit, an L-shaped settee sits against the transom to starboard with a fixed dining table—a great spot to enjoy alfresco dining which is shaded by the awning above. 

“Balance is achieved through the pursuit of perfection. The L550 delivers that balance by marrying substantial capability with transcendent aesthetics,” Sea Ray says. “This is beauty that inspires and substance that delivers, together in a harmonious interplay. The result is a joyful ease, a sophisticated serenity that settles in deep and truly stays with you.”

The main deck interior is entertainment-friendly with an aft-galley layout that easily serves the salon lounge area amidships and the cockpit aft. The galley has a number of meal-prep amenities, including: 

  • Stowage
  • Two bar stools
  • Keurig Coffeemaker
  • Under counter drawer freezer with icemaker
  • Cuisinart microwave/convection oven 
  • Under counter drawer refrigerator
  • Kenyon two-burner induction stove

Flamingo features a three-stateroom layout that sleeps up to six people. The full-beam master stateroom sits amidships with a caddy-corner queen berth and an en suite head. The forepeak VIP has a centerline queen berth and en suite head access. The third guest cabin is to starboard with twin berths, a great feature for those traveling with children. 

Twin 850 hp Caterpillar C12.9L diesels should push Flamingo to a reported 30-knot top hop and a 24-knot cruise speed. It’s worth noting the engines only have 440 hours on them. 

Some other notable features on board Flamingo include: 

  • Seakeeper 9
  • FLIR night vision camera
  • Optional Onan 29 kW generator
  • Cockpit docking station
  • Wine cooler

Where is Flamingo located? The yacht is currently lying in Marco Island, Florida.

Express cruisers offer boaters the benefits of sporty performance, sleek profiles and entertainment-focused layouts. From dayboating excursions to weekend and longer cruising, these vessels are true multi-taskers. To help boat buyers who are seeking pre-owned express cruisers, we go in-depth on 10 midsize yachts that are ready for new owners today.

Tiara Yachts Coupe 53

2017 Tiara Yachts 53 Coupe – Newport Beach, California

“This Tiara Yachts 53 Coupe express cruiser is a head-turner at the docks with sporty lines accented by a raked windshield and a piercing Navy Blue hull.” Galati Yacht Sales has this California-based Tiara C53 listed at $1.349 million.

“The yacht’s split-level bridge deck is nearly as bright as the outdoors, with a white-accented color palette, teak soles, windows from the ceiling-to-settee level, an electric sunroof and butterfly sliding glass doors aft. Bamboo White Chilewich wall coverings throughout, not only warm the interior, but also create an inviting textured effect.”

Azimut Yachts Atlantis 51

2020 Azimut Atlantis 51 – Utopia – Lewisville, Texas

“Azimut Yachts’ Atlantis 51 is an express cruiser aimed at families looking for a vessel with home-like cruising comfort, multiple entertainment spaces and admirable performance. MarineMax currently has Utopia, a 2020 Azimut Atlantis 51, listed for $1.199 million, which represents a $100,000 price reduction.

Utopia’s sleek lines are accented by a raked windshield, which is accented further by elongated and tinted hullside windows that visually lower the yacht’s profile.

A shallow 4-foot, 3-inch draft makes the 53-footer beach- and sandbar-accessible, while twin low-hour (191) 600 hp Volvo Penta D8 diesels push Utopia to a reported 35-knot top hop and a 32-knot cruise speed. It’s also outfitted with a Seakeeper NG6 gyrostabilizer to make the ride as stable as a table.”

Sunseeker Predator 68

2018 Sunseeker Predator 68 – Gravitas – Miami, Florida

“It’s not every day that prospective owners have the chance to purchase a zero-hour used yacht, but that’s exactly what’s available with Gravitas, a 2018 Sunseeker Predator 68.  The supersize express cruiser is listed with Allied Marine for $2.195 million; however, the 68-footer has two brand-new 1,200 hp MAN diesels with a full engine warranty from the manufacturer.

A powerful combination of design elements come together in the Predator 68 with stylish, sleek lines, 38-knot performance and a variety of onboard entertainment spaces–inside and outside.

Done with your morning swim and looking to catch some sun? Take your pick between the foredeck sun pad or the cockpit sun pad. The cockpit has alfresco dining space for everyone aboard at a U-shaped settee and fixed folding table. The grill makes serving the aft dining space a breeze.”

Zeelander Z55

2016 Zeelander Z55 – Fancy – Dania Beach, Florida

This Dutch-built Zeelander Z55 listed with Atlantic Yacht and Ship at an asking price of $1.745 million looks like a little ship. From its proud bow to its robust, heavy-duty hardware, this express cruiser seems ready to roam.

And roam it can. Power is a pair of 900 hp Volvo Penta IPS1200 diesels that reportedly gives this 55-footer a 32-knot cruise speed and a 38-knot top hop.

Fancy, as this Z55 is called, is all about connecting guests on board to sea and each other. Nearly 360 degrees of glass create a constant connection to the sea, bring in light to the salon and helm and provide unobstructed sightlines for the skipper. Need more natural light? There is a retractable sunroof over the helm and dinette. 

2021 Axopar 37 XC Cross Cabin
This 2021 Axopar 37 XC Cross Cabin has a fine entry, indoor-outdoor living and an all-weather pilothouse. Asking price: $369,500. Courtesy Jeff Brown Yachts

2021 Axopar 37 XC Cross Cabin – Coronado, California

“The Axopar 37 XC Cross Cabin is fast, fun, adventurous and capable. Listed with Jeff Brown Yachts, the asking price is $369,500.

With a reported top-end speed of 47 knots, the Axopar XC Cross Cabin is a fast and responsive vessel. Powered by twin 300 hp Mercury V8 outboards, this boat turns heads as it dices a seaway. Cruising speed is about 31 knots. Dial it back to 3,500 rpms and roughly 28 knots, and range is about 280 nautical miles. 

Open the pilothouse’s sliding doors, sunroof and Gullwing doors and guests can enjoy an open- air environment while blazing across the water. Relax on the foredeck sun pads, or in fold-down cushioned seats on the roomy aft deck. As guests take a swim, enjoy a few drinks from the wet bar. Shower off on the aft deck before heading in for a short lunch break to cool off. 

Riva 56' SportRiva

2012 Riva 56’ SportRiva – Gabriela – North Miami, Florida

“The Riva 56′ SportRiva is a yacht where Italian elegance and luxury meets innovative design. The focus of the 56′ SportRiva’s design is on the huge curved windscreen glass,” Yachting previously reported. “The windscreen panels extend across and up and over the lower helm and what looks like a secondary windscreen above is purely a contrasting decorative panel. The flybridge has its own prominent reverse-angle windscreen that challenges the flowing lines and adds a hint of aggression to the style but you reap the benefits of this screen out at sea when traveling at speed.”

Now step aboard Gabriela, a 2012 Riva 56′ SportRiva.

Pershing 62

2018 Pershing 62 – Behike – Fort Lauderdale, Florida

“Gilman Yachts currently has Behike, a Pershing 62, listed for sale with an asking price of $1.75 million. This 2018 hardtop express cruiser is known for its combination of luxurious appointments and 45-knot speed.

“As for cruising, hold onto your hats. Like all Pershing yachts, the 62 goes like the ballistic missile that is her namesake,” Yachting previously reported. “Her standard pair of 1,550 hp MAN diesels mated to Arneson ASD 14 surface-piercing drives propelled the 62 to a 45-knot top end and a fast cruise of 36-plus knots, according to Pershing. At these speeds, those MANs would burn well over 100 gph, but hey, one has to put 3,100 horses to work occasionally, right?””

Sea Ray Sundancer 60
The Sea Ray Sundancer 60 Three Sons has a three-stateroom layout and a 34-knot-plus top hop. Asking price: $769,999. Courtesy Atlantic Yacht & Ship

2008 Sea Ray Sundancer 60 – Three Sons – Washburn, Wisconsin

Three Sons, a Sea Ray Sundancer 60, is listed for sale with Atlantic Yacht & Ship and has an asking price of $769,999. The 2008, 34-knot-plus express cruiser has cruising accommodations for six within its three-stateroom layout.

Three Sons is powered by twin 1,100 hp MAN V-10 diesels, which is the same propulsion setup Yachting experienced during our initial sea trial of the Sea Ray Sundancer 60.

“With the luck of the draw, winds and seas were such that running offshore would have been at best unpleasant. Even the Intracoastal Waterway was stirred up, but the 60 had no problem slicing through the chop,” Yachting previously reported. “Her two 1,100 hp electronically controlled, common-rail MAN diesels reached maximum turns in approximately 30 seconds without hesitation and I recorded a maximum speed of 34.8 knots.”

Riviera 5000 Sport Yacht
The Riviera 5000 Sport Yacht Optimist is for sale. It sleeps seven, has alfresco dining and a 30-knot top hop. Asking price: $649,000. Courtesy Gilman Yachts

2013 Riviera 5000 Sport Yacht – Optimist – West Palm Beach, Florida

“Gilman Yachts has listed Optimist, a 2013 Riviera 5000 Sport Yacht, with an asking price of $649,000. The express-style cruiser has a two-stateroom, two head, layout that can sleep seven thanks to a convertible sofa in the lower salon that converts into a Pullman berth forming upper and lower bunks.

One of this yacht’s highlights is the helm-station experience. Yachting has previously reported how well Riviera designed the double-leather-seat helm space on the 5000 Sport Yacht, including its sightlines: “Two forward-facing windows have uncluttered views and are served by decently sized wipers. Add the long side windows and the open after bulkhead, and you have a near-flawless, 360-degree line of sight.” Additionally, there is a retractable sunroof in case the skipper wants to bring breezes and more natural light into the salon. The helm is also set up with a Garmin electronics suite, including multifunction GPS, displays, radar, autopilot and more. There is also joystick driving and a Skyhook vessel-positioning system.”

Riva Dolceriva Epica

2021 Riva Dolceriva – Epica – Huntington, New York

The 48-foot Riva Dolceriva Epica, listed with Allied Marine, is for sale and is asking $1.9 million. The 2021 build has only 175 hours on its Volvo Penta diesels, has a 40-knot top hop and has two staterooms for cruising with family and friends.

The outside spaces aboard this yacht include two sun pads that flank the teak-sole cockpit. Immediately forward and to port is a four-person L-shaped settee and a table that folds out to create a larger dining space with the three-person bench sofa to starboard. The helm is forward and to starboard.”

For boaters looking for a new-to-them used yacht, now is a great time to start looking at options as the used-yacht segment has been shifting to a buyer’s market. To help boat buyers in their yacht shopping, we go in-depth on 10 used flybridge cruisers that are ready for new owners today.

Princess Yachts S60

2019 Princess Yachts S60 – Rock On – Palm Beach, Florida

“HMY Yacht Sales has Rock On, a 2019 Princess Yachts S60, listed at $2.149 million. The nearly 38-knot, 60-foot sportbridge yacht is equal parts performance and entertainment thanks to its efficient hull form and well-appointed social spaces.

Rock On reaches its aforementioned 38-knot top hop thanks to optional 1,200 hp MAN V-8 diesels. The 60-footer has a 29-knot cruise speed, and it’s worth noting the engines have only 390 hours. The yacht has also spent its entire life on freshwater.

“While sport-bridge models are occasionally maligned as nothing more than a compromise between a motoryacht and an express cruiser, the Princess S60 represents a solid counterargument to that gripe. There simply isn’t a whole lot of half-stepping to this yacht,” Yachting previously reported

Ferretti Yachts 750

2015 Ferretti 750 – Sami Kay III – Miami, Florida

“First launched at the 2013 Cannes Yachting Festival, the Ferretti Yachts 750 expanded on the design of its sibling, the Ferretti 720, innovating areas like the tail of the flybridge to give the new 75-footer a sleeker and sportier profile. Allied Marine currently has Sami Kay III, a 2015 Ferretti 750, listed with an asking price of $2.29 million.

When it comes to choosing where to catch some sun on Sami Kay III will you pick the two-person sun pad on the foredeck or the three-person sun pad on the flybridge? How about alfresco dining, will you and your guests eat at the C-shaped dinette on the flybridge or down in the cockpit? Even the captain has to choose between the all-weather lower helm station or the wind-in-your-hair upper helm station. Decisions, decisions.”

2018 Azimut 80 Fly – Deep Blue – Pompano Beach, Florida

“The Azimut Yachts 80 Fly called Deep Blue is currently for sale with MarineMax with an asking price of $3.69 million. The 2018 build has chic lines, 31-knot speed and a layout aimed at family cruising fun.

“Azimut designer Stefano Righini got the exterior just right, creating a flybridge and hardtop that enhance the aggressive, but not too racy, lines of the hull,” Yachting previously reported. “In the profile view, the 80 is quite sleek and proportional. From the stern, she has even more attractive symmetry: The superstructure tapers in where it joins the hull, and then flares outward as the flybridge takes over from the salon. Righini thought through the geometry, using straight lines with subtle curves and sharp angles, including a large, blue-mirrored panel at the base of the radar arch that looks like one of the salon windows from a distance.””

Marquis 65

When Yachting first wrote about the Marquis65, we noted how “The new 65-footer is not simply a bigger Carver, in concept or in execution; she is a whole new animal. The company reached beyond its own doors to ensure the new series would be not just what Carver wanted, but what knowledgeable yachtsmen would demand. She is nothing short of world-class.”

To that end, Serenity’s salon has a sense of volume and warmth because of its open floorplan with the country galley forward, rich, high-gloss wood finishes and natural light from nearly 360 degrees of glass. Owners can dial in the desired natural lighting via automatic blinds. The salon also has a three-person sofa and coffee table to port with four lounge chairs positioned around the salon. A spiral staircase to starboard leads to this yacht’s flybridge.”

Yachting first reported that the exterior of Azimut’s 50 Fly, designed by Stefano Righini, is based on the builder’s popular 80-footer. “Retaining some of her key eye-popping elements such as unbroken, porpoise-shaped, single-pane mirrored windows in her superstructure. Aside from being aesthetically pleasing, the windows enhance views from the salon and helm, add an aggressive look to her profile and let natural light bathe the yacht’s interior.”

Stepping on to Kilauea’s swim platform, which doubles as tender stowage, cockpit access is via stairs flanking the transom.

Built in Plymouth, England, people describe these yachts as classy, elegant and artistic with plenty of room to keep its passengers and crew comfortable. Daylight Comet, a 2017 52’ Princess, is new to the market and located in Seattle, WA. Buyers should be warned not to hesitate; this offer is not expected to last very long.

The Squadron 68 has a sporty and sleek profile, aided by covering the topside windows with a black slash that runs nearly the length of the yacht, which brings natural light into the staterooms belowdecks. The rear-leaning supports for the hardtop accent the profile, and reverse-raked glass on the flybridge helps with the aesthetic while reducing glare off the water.”

Three Sons, a Sea Ray Sundancer 60, is listed for sale with Atlantic Yacht & Ship and has an asking price of $769,999. The 2008, 34-knot-plus express cruiser has cruising accommodations for six within its three-stateroom layout.

Three Sons is powered by twin 1,100 hp MAN V-10 diesels, which is the same propulsion setup Yachting experienced during our initial sea trial of the Sea Ray Sundancer 60.

“With the luck of the draw, winds and seas were such that running offshore would have been at best unpleasant. Even the Intracoastal Waterway was stirred up, but the 60 had no problem slicing through the chop,” Yachting previously reported. “She came up evenly on a plane with no appreciable bow rise. Her two 1,100 hp electronically controlled, common-rail MAN diesels reached maximum turns in approximately 30 seconds without hesitation or clouds of black smoke, and I recorded a maximum speed of 34.8 knots.”

Three sons has undergone many updates since 2019, including, but not limited to:

  • 6 new AGM Batteries
  • New bilge pumps and float switches
  • New sump pumps
  • Engines and genset serviced
  • Replaced bow cushions
  • Freshwater flush installed on both mains and genset
  • Electrosea Clearline for A/C raw water-$10,000
  • 2,000-hour service performed
  • Replaced underwater lights with 6 LED underwater lights
  • Replace both cutlass bearings
  • Tuned and polished both props
  • Bottom paint and prop speed
  • Polished and ceramic-coated hull sides.
  • Ceramic tint on upper salon windows
  • Recovered upper salon couch leather
  • Replaced electronics
  • Replaced clothes dryer
  • Replace A/C compressors

Sea Ray’s Sundancer 60 has a galley-down arrangement, with the salon and helm on the main deck. With nearly 360 degrees of glass and a sunroof over the salon, there is abundant natural light. The salon has a sofa to port and a slightly shorter sofa and lounge chair to starboard abaft the dual-seat helm station. Cherrywood adds a richness to the interior vibe.

Outside, the cockpit is well laid out for alfresco meals with friends and family. Pull up loose chairs to the fixed folding table and transom bench seat to create seating for up to six. More alfresco space is at the foredeck where you’ll find a two-person sun pad, a great spot to retreat with a book to after a morning swim.

The accommodation plan includes a full-beam (16’9″) master stateroom amidships with a queen berth, en suite head as well as a built-in sofa and stowage for extended cruising. The forepeak VIP stateroom has a centerline queen berth, a flat-screen TV and en suite head. The third guest stateroom, which can double as a crew quarters if needed, has bunk berths making it a solid fit for the kids.

The 60-footer’s hydraulic swim platform doubles as its tender stowage with removable chocks.

Other notable features on board Three Sons include Raymarine electronics with 9- and 12-inch Axiom multifunction displays, ST6002 autopilot, 240 VHF, FLIR thermal-imaging system, Bennett trim tabs with LED readout and MAN displays and controls.

From the Archive: Sea Ray Sundancer 60

“By the 1990s, Sea Ray had stretched the Sundancer concept to 63 feet. Transom-mounted Arneson surface-piercing drives kept machinery aft, optimizing interior space. The 63 was an impressive ride, but I have always felt her design was a step outside the box. While her 40-knot-plus top speed proved Sea Ray could compete in the high-performance yacht market, the boat did not seem in cadence with the Sundancer mantra. In light of this history, the 60 Sundancer shines. She achieves excellent performance without complication and carries a foot more beam than the 63.” – Yachting, April 2006

Sea Ray SDX 270

Sea Ray has launched two new models in its SDX series of surf, sterndrive and outboard boats. The SDX 270 and SDX 270 Surf come in sterndrive and surf configurations, with features and amenities intended to support all-day entertaining and watersports for the whole family.

“The SDX 270 and SDX 270 Surf are the latest boats in our lineup to receive a keel-up redesign, and the first SDX models crafted with our next-generation design language,” Keith Yunger, Sea Ray’s president, stated in a press release. “Also, the SDX 270 Surf is the first surf addition to our SDX Series.”

Designers updated the seating on the SDX 270, which has flexible configurations. In the cockpit, there’s an L-shaped bench, an integrated cooler compartment for drinks and snacks, and USB outlets. Options in this part of the boat include a table and inductive charging stations. For fans of board sports, there’s a board-sized stowage compartment under the bench seat. Above the cockpit is an electric folding watersports tower (standard on the surf variation and optional on the sterndrive model) to provide protection from the elements. It has elevated tow points for wakesurfing or wakeboarding, and it can be lowered or raised for storage. It also can be ordered with optional tower speakers and board racks.

Up at the bow, there’s lounge-style seating, a bow ladder and another integrated cooler compartment for drinks and snacks. Owners who go with Sea Ray’s Comfort Bundle will also have a table and a filler cushion that converts into a sun pad. The bow can further be upgraded with a manual sunshade. A windlass is available with Sea Ray’s Anchor Bundle.

Another convertible sun pad is at the transom. Its backrest folds down to extend the area, with optional Fusion stereo controls close by. The swim platform has a concealable ladder and manual submersible step that’s optional on the sterndrive variation and standard on the surf boat. The transom also has a ski tow eye attachment to connect watersports riders, and an in-sole compartment with drainage for stowing wet gear and lines.

The SDX 270 models also have a starboard compartment to stow life jackets, towels and the like. Sea Ray’s optional Water System Bundle adds a head with a sink and countertop. There is also an option to transform the compartment with cushions, making it a hangout area for kids. A portside cubby provides more stowage.

At the helm are Simrad’s NSX touchscreen display (two of them on the surf variation) and Mercury Marine SmartCraft Connect engine monitoring.

Let’s talk power packages: Standard engines on the SDX 270 are 300-horsepower Mercury MerCruiser 6.2Ls. The SDX 270 Surf has standard 350-horspoewer MerCruiser 6.2Ls.

Downtime, a Sea Ray L650 Fly, is listed for sale with MarineMax and has an asking price of $1.4 million. The 2015 build has cruising accommodations for eight guests with a four-stateroom, three-head layout.

Downtime’s cockpit has a three-person bench seat and fixed table aft. Add loose chairs and there is shaded alfresco dining for up to eight people. Forward and to starboard is a wet bar, while stairs to port lead to the flybridge.

The flybridge has a U-shaped sofa and fixed table aft. There’s additional bench seating forward to starboard with another fixed table. All the way forward is a three-person sun pad with back rests flanking each side. Alfresco dining can be enjoyed in multiple locations on Downtime’s flybridge and a retractable soft top can be left closed for shade or opened for a sun-bathed happy hour.

Sliding glass doors lead from Downtime’s cockpit to the salon where there are several seating options–including an L-shaped settee and ottoman to starboard and a three-person sofa to port for cocktails and casual conversation.

Forward from the salon is an open-style country galley. To port, the galley has a wrap-around countertop, two fixed bar stools, a double sink, two drawer refrigerators and two drawer freezers, a wine refrigerator and an electric cooktop.

Side decks with high rails make for safe passage between the cockpit and the foredeck. The foredeck has seating options too, with a sun pad forward with room for two to three people. Abaft the sun pad are two facing bench seats with room for five.

Belowdecks, owners and their guests will find four staterooms. The full-beam amidships master stateroom has a centerline queen berth and en suite head. The forepeak VIP stateroom also has a centerline queen berth and en suite head as well. The remaining two staterooms are aft of the VIP stateroom to port and starboard. Both have two single berths.

The cockpit has a wet bar and a table, and can be outfitted with a grill and a refrigerator. The bow is another gathering space where a table or a sun-pad filler cushion can be added.

Owners can choose a standard open or optional enclosed coupe configuration on the Sundancer 370, which has a fiberglass hardtop. An opening skylight, SureShade in the cockpit and manual bow shade are also available.

A cabin is belowdecks with a forward V-berth lounge area, a head, a galley and convertible sleeping spaces for owners and guests.
