Sea Ray 440 Sundancer Boats For Sale

The Sea Ray 440 Sundancer is a 44-foot express cruiser introduced in 1993, built to sleep six across three separate areas: an aft cabin for two, the convertible salon for two, and the private owner's cabin forward. It suits a couple who cruise with family or guests and want a diesel boat with genuine overnighting space rather than a weekend runabout. Examples of the Sea Ray 440 Sundancer for sale tend to come from careful single-owner use, and well-kept hulls show little wear on their interior surfaces despite the age.

Power comes from twin Cummins 5.9-liter diesels, with documented examples carrying around 1,800 hours, paired with a Westerbeke generator near 1,100 hours that runs the two air-conditioning units fore and aft. The boat is happy at an easy cruise of about 12 knots. Some boats have been fitted with SideShift external bow and stern thrusters, which makes close-quarters docking straightforward for a hull this size.

The helm sits on the aft deck under a full canvas enclosure, with bench seating, a transom door for boarding, and a drink station with an ice maker nearby. A barbecue is mounted on the aft deck as well. Electronics on updated boats include a Garmin touchscreen unit at the helm; on older examples the original radar, Garmin display and autopilot may be non-functional, though the autopilot can potentially be tied into a newer Garmin.

Down a few steps through the companionway, the electrical panel sits on the bulkhead and the galley opens to port with an electric stove, microwave, and a large refrigerator with freezer. The boat carries an inverter, battery charger and the diesel generator. The salon holds seating with a dining table that drops down to convert into a berth, and natural light from the salon windows keeps the space bright.

The aft cabin is closed off by hard sliding doors that meet in the middle rather than a curtain, and its table drops with a second leg so the cushion fills in to form a large double berth. Forward, the owner's cabin has its own privacy door into the head, which includes a full shower enclosure. Mechanical systems — house batteries, the generator and its batteries, tanks, the inverter and the battery charger — are reached through a hatch in the aft deck, opening into a workable engine room.

When weighing a Sea Ray 440 Sundancer for sale by owner, check the engine and generator hour totals against service records, since clean maintenance histories with invoices are a strong signal on a 1993 hull. Original carpet and cushions may show their age and can have a few rips, while the canvas enclosure on well-kept boats often remains in good condition. For full Sea Ray 440 Sundancer specs on a specific boat, confirm the documented engine hours, thruster and electronics fit, and the condition of the soft goods before viewing.
