Retiring Marine Industry Executive Is Letting Her Go!

After an impressive career in the marine industry and ownership of several top-tier yachts, this meticulous former boat dealership owner is (reluctantly) stepping away from boating-creating an outstanding opportunity for her next owner.

This 2005 Sea Ray 500 Sundancer blends executive-class luxury with forward-thinking design. Built on a deep-V hull with prop pockets to reduce shaft angle and enhance performance, she delivers a confident, comfortable ride along with efficient cruising. Powered by twin 640hp Cummins QSM-11 diesel engines into V-drives, she cruises effortlessly at 26-28 knots.

One of the 500 Sundancer's standout features is her innovative, open cockpit layout. The unique rotating companion lounge creates a unified entertaining space-eliminating the segmented feel found on many express yachts. It's an ideal setup for socializing, relaxing, and enjoying time on the water.

Below deck, Sea Ray reimagined the traditional express layout by eliminating the typical mid-cabin stateroom and positioning both staterooms forward. The result is a significantly larger, more luxurious salon featuring:

  • Elegant Ultraleather seating

  • 6'8" headroom

  • Built-in flat-screen TV/DVD

  • Rich cherry cabinetry

  • Beautiful hardwood galley flooring

The starboard-side galley offers abundant storage and functionality, while two well-appointed heads provide comfort and privacy for owners and guests alike.

Notable Features & Options Include:

  • Hydraulic Swim Platform

  • Fresh Bottom Paint (March 2026)

  • Fresh Engine and Genset services (March 2026)

  • New Shaft Seals (March 2026)

  • Upgraded to all LED's

  • Hardtop

  • Cockpit A/C & Heat

  • Bow thruster

  • Cockpit Fridge and Ice maker

  • Central Vacuum System

  • Bose Stereo System

  • Reverso Oil Change System

  • TracVision Satellite TV

This is a well-finished, thoughtfully equipped yacht that reflects knowledgeable ownership and careful upkeep.

She is conveniently located in a highly desirable Harbor Island marina, offering easy access to restaurants, hotels, downtown, and the airport. Her larger slip meets marina criteria for transfer (upon application approval)-a huge advantage in this sought-after location.

Opportunities like this don't come along often. Don't let her slip away.
