Vessel Overview
"SEA FEVER" is a "must see" for the Defever 53' enthusiast, as well as any discriminating long-range cruising prospect. After acquiring SEA FEVER in 2001, the owners had the vessel completely awlgripped, replaced all the soft goods (except the headliner, but including the wall coverings) along with all the furniture and appliances in the galley. All the beautiful teak was refinished throughout the boat. Additionally the electronics at both helms were updated and Naiad stabilizers were added. She is exceptionally clean, shows very well and is truly a 'turn key vessel' for the individual who is ready to embark on serious long distance cruising.

Broker's Remarks
The Defever 53' Performance Offshore Cruisers are very attractive and sought after boats. They feature the desirable stand up engine room, aft master stateroom with ensuite head as well as two additional staterooms (one queen-size berth and one v-berth) both with ensuite heads, on deck galley open to salon, upper and lower helms, large upper deck and covered side decks. Specifically "SEA FEVER" was purchased in early 2001 by an experienced yachtsman that had her completely Awlgripped, replaced all the soft goods and wall coverings throughout the boat with a (professional) style redecoration, had all the beautiful teak interior refinished as needed, replaced all furniture and galley appliances, updated the electronics at both helms to state of the art and added NAIAD stabilizers. She is ready for a new owner to step aboard and go boating. Truly a perfect turnkey boat.
