New Model: Sea Ray 310 Sundancer

Sea Ray presents the 310 Sundancer, the new express cruiser from this renowned US builder. Like other Sundancers, the new 310 offers a raised helm design enhancing visibility but also creating more room below for overnight accommodations. The helm seat can also pivot to face aft, expanding cockpit entertaining space. The cockpit offers also lots of additional seating to go around on the L-shaped lounger to port, which is served by a removable teak cockpit table, and abaft the helm seat we find a solid-surface wet bar with sink, drink holders, handrail, storage and can also be added with optional refrigerator and built-in barbecue grill. Designing dual purpose seating has long been a Sea Ray talent, and in addition to the pivoting helm bench, the cockpit lounger on the 310 also folds down to make a sun pad. Clearly, the new 310 is a boat that is meant to provide comfortable cruising! A wide, deep stairway leads to the cabin accommodation below which offers six berths. Two in the forward V-berth, two in the mid-cabin and two on the convertible dinette sleeper. A well sized galley offers a solid-surface counter top, microwave, refrigerator and stove. Engine options are multiple petrol gas to diesel stern drives

Project: Sea Ray 750

A project for a new flagship from renowned US boat builder Sea Ray, which present what is its biggest build at 75 feet, a flybridge Motor Yacht so far named 750. This is interesting news from Sea Ray showing in the renderings a European design influence in the forms, but most recognizable in the super structure. It will be available in a 2 version interior, both of them with a 4 cabin 4 head version and 2 berth crew cabin aft. The 2 version interior differs in the plans mostly in the main deck, but also in style difference and materials with 1 being modern minimal and 2 a classic conservative. Version 1 welcomes you with 2 settees on either side of the saloon, move more forward and you find an 8 person dining table in the middle. There is also a day head rare to find on this size on the main deck and a separate galley which is located just behind the dual seated helm station. Version 2 and its classic contemporary interior plan welcome you in a c-shaped settee, a spacious galley double to size of version 1, and an 8 person dining table to port of the starboard helm station. Sea Ray also offers an option for the aft area of the flybridge with the choice of an l-shaped settee or a water craft stowage area with crane. Other interesting feature is the 6056 litre fuel tank, quite big for a boat this size. Power is a standard twin MAN 1550hp or option 1800hp MAN. Hull number one is apparently already in construction stages although launching dates have not so far been announced.

New Model: Sea Ray 43 / 475 Sundancer

Sea Ray's new 43 / 475 Sundancer is destined to be an instant classic, this is what this renowned US builder declared on its launch. Surely this is a quality design from the US, and it's packed from stem to stern with winning features and innovations, including Zeus 360° Control pod drives with an intuitive helm joystick for stress-free docking. There is also the hard top, with two independently retractable sunroofs, offering the ultimate in full weather navigation, all around protection and outside climate control. Inside the 43 Sundancer is a luxury affair, with a bright roomy saloon and galley opposite welcoming you into the cherry wood finished cabin area. Worth noting too, is the spaciousness of the galley that has a full suite of appliances plus amazing work and storage space. Sleeping is in two luxurious en-suite cabins, with owners stateroom forward, and a guest twin bed mid cabin, which if desired converts to a double. This luxurious new 43/475 Sundancer takes also so much from the outside lines of the 55/575 Sundancer, which was launched 2 years ago, with a practical modern approach to boating thanks to the Zeus pods, but also the fully enclosed hard top which makes this express cruiser, good for all season usage. The only thing that confuses me is the change of model name for the European market from 43 to 475 Sundancer, for the rest this seems a great boat in its size which apart the interesting technical innovations, should also get a lot of attention for the space it delivers on the cockpit deck.
