Owner's Comments and Boat History


Pisces Play is a 1997 Sea Ray 420 Aft Cabin built in Merritt Island, Florida. Powered by twin Caterpillar 3116 diesel engines, she has been well maintained, including a replacement port engine and extensive top-end work on the starboard engine.


Over the years, notable improvements have included a custom hardtop with integrated LED lighting, an upgraded Strataglass enclosure, Garmin navigation electronics with Fantom radar, a bow thruster, and an upgraded entertainment system.


Additional improvements include updated interior and exterior lighting and engine room cameras. The most recent bottom paint was applied in November 2025.


Pisces Play has treated us well, offering comfortable living spaces, reliable diesel power, and practical cruising capabilities. With her two-stateroom layout, generous salon, and expansive aft deck, she has been a wonderful yacht for entertaining and extended cruising.


She is particularly well suited to someone looking to cruise the Great Loop, explore the Bahamas, or enjoy extended stays aboard. Her comfortable accommodations, manageable air draft, and economical diesel cruising make her a versatile option for her next owner.


We hope her next owners enjoy the same freedom, comfort, and adventures that Pisces Play has given us.
