Step aboard SYMPHONY No. 3 and enjoy luxury both underway and in port! She is spacious, beautifully built, and very well maintained, with many recent updates and design features typically found only on much larger vessels. Her lines are sleek, stylish and timeless.

 

Comfort abounds for owners and guests as they relax in the three entertainment spaces: the large open cockpit with a huge curved settee, high-gloss table, grill, icemaker, wet bar and awning; the helm deck with 360 degree visibility, power windows, power sunroof, extensive seating and extending table; or the warm sumptuous lower salon with wraparound U-shaped settee, an electric hi-lo table, and a gourmet galley for preparing lavish feasts or the simplest fare. All three seating areas were reupholstered in 2022.

 

SYMPHONY No.3 boasts a luxurious private Owner's suite midship, and a second luxurious VIP Suite forward, ideal for cruising with friends or family. With a beam of almost 16' she offers extensive accommodations on two levels, plus a very large Cockpit and Foredeck

 

SYMPHONY No.3's interior is elegant. Tastefully designed for style and comfort, upgraded by her current owners, using highest grade materials, cabinetry and seating, the theme is fresh, but classic, as benefits a yacht of this class.


Features, large and small, attest to the Neptunus storied legacy. Heavily built with hand-laid fiberglass, the deep V hull with 19 degree deadrise and prop tunnels provide a smooth and stable ride in all weathers and seas, with a coveted CE Class B rating. Neptunus supplied data indicates cruising comfortably at 22 kt, while top speed is approx. 30 kt, thanks to the two dependable 660 HP Caterpillar diesels. Helmsman and guests alike will enjoy the STIDD helm seats (2022) and the quiet sound level at cruise, with no access to the engine room through the solid helm deck.

 

The pedigreed Neptunus 54 boasts its design from famed Mega-Yacht designer Tony Castro, with interior style and European flair by Marco Vandermaas. The 54 was constructed to the highest standards in the Neptunus Yard in Ontario, Canada, drawing on over 50 years of maritime experience.

 

Additional features include stainless steel and elegantly curved safety glass entrance doors from the cockpit, oversized cleats and deck fittings, a galley with full-size AEG and Sub-Zero appliances, a powerful 48,000 BTU/hr heating and cooling system with water circulation, and no fewer than 5 air handlers for perfect comfort throughout.

 

Essex Yacht Sales is proud to offer SYMPHONY No. 3, a rare opportunity to acquire this fine Motor Yacht, with over $100,000 in recent tasteful upgrades by its discerning and experienced owners.
