1996 Sea Ray 440 Express Bridge

This SR Express Bridge has been set up as a cruiser and liveaboard. Ideal for being self contained in the Bahamas or any remote destination.

The Sea Ray 440 Express Bridge is a fine example of a sleek flybridge sport yacht. Its ergonomically designed interior and attention to detail distinguish it from its competitors. The 440 Express Bridge with Caterpillar 3126s and a carefully crafted hull, provides outstanding performance. The slip-stream exhaust with lift-type mufflers makes it quiet as well. With 400-gallons of fuel, 100-gallon pressure water system, and the best operational and safety systems afloat, this is one very advanced sport yacht. The walk-thru bridge has an adjustable captain's chair, forward and aft bench seating for guests, a wet bar with icemaker, and a cocktail table that stores out of sight. At the helm, a custom dash places every control, switch, gauge, and throttle at your fingertips. With a full aft bench seat and optional adjustable cocktail table, the roomy self-bailing cockpit provides plenty of space for entertaining. Tinted sliding glass doors lead from the cockpit to the salon. Two transom doors provide easy access to the swim platform. A bench seat for two is found on the foredeck. Access from the cockpit is via the deep recessed walkaround; from the bridge, simply step through the hinged venturi windshield. In the salon, a comfortable sofa - dinette converts to sleeping quarters for two. Guests will also enjoy the entertainment center with TV and stereo. The mid-stateroom has a full-size bed, cedar-lined hanging locker with mirrored door and large vanity. There's also a separate head with VacuFlush toilet and shower. The built-in vanity in the mid-stateroom has deep drawers and a large compartment to provide plenty of room to stow belongings. In the master stateroom, a full-size bed with mattress promises a good night's sleep. It features a private entertainment center with TV, mirrored vanity with settee, generous storage, and private access to the master head. The master head can be accessed from the forward stateroom or the salon. It has a VacuFlush toilet, vanity, and shower with tempered glass door. The fully appointed galley has a three-burner electric stove, upright refrigerator - freezer, microwave and convenience package with coffeemaker, blender, and icemaker. Abaft the breakfast bar, a desk and chair provide a quiet place to plan the day's activities or your next dinner party.
