Sundancer 50 Interior

The interior offers an impressive combination of refined styling, generous living space, and thoughtful amenities, creating a comfortable retreat for extended cruising and entertaining family and friends.

Main Salon:

The expansive salon serves as the centerpiece of the interior, featuring opposing Ultraleather settees that create a welcoming environment for relaxing, socializing, or enjoying an evening aboard. One of the settees converts into additional sleeping accommodations, making the salon especially versatile for overnight guests. Rich cherry wood cabinetry and carefully finished wood trim lend warmth and sophistication throughout the space, complemented by comfortable upholstery, generous natural light, and approximately 6 feet 8 inches of headroom. A built-in entertainment center provides a convenient focal point for relaxing indoors, while the open layout gives the salon a spacious, inviting feel rarely associated an express cruiser.

Galley:

Positioned conveniently between the salon and staterooms, the well-appointed galley is designed to make life aboard comfortable and convenient. The galley features attractive wood cabinetry, ample counter space, a recessed two-burner electric cooktop, microwave, and dedicated refrigeration and freezer storage.

Abundant cabinet and drawer storage provides room for provisions, cookware, and dining essentials, making the galley well suited to everything from preparing a casual lunch at anchor to serving dinner during an extended cruise. Its practical layout keeps essential amenities close at hand without sacrificing the openness of the main living area.

Forward Owner's Stateroom:

The forward owner's stateroom provides a private and comfortable retreat, featuring a generously proportioned berth, attractive cherry wood finishes, dedicated storage, and an inviting atmosphere for overnight stays. Hanging lockers and additional storage compartments help keep personal belongings organized, while the surrounding cabinetry maintains the elegant styling carried throughout the yacht.

The private en-suite head adds convenience and privacy, making the owner's quarters particularly well suited to weekend escapes and longer cruising adventures.

Guest Stateroom:

The separate guest stateroom offers comfortable accommodations for family or friends, with adult-sized upper and lower berths, a hanging locker, and additional storage for personal belongings. Its dedicated sleeping area provides guests with their own space and privacy while keeping them conveniently connected to the yacht's main living areas.

Heads and Showers:

Two fully enclosed heads provide an important level of comfort and convenience for owners and guests alike. Each features a marine toilet, vanity, and a separate shower stall, allowing both accommodations to enjoy independent bathroom facilities.

The thoughtful arrangement makes extended stays aboard more practical, particularly when entertaining guests or cruising with family.

Throughout the interior, the Sundancer 500 emphasizes quality finishes, functional storage, and a comfortable living environment. Cherry wood cabinetry, upholstered seating, integrated lighting, and entertainment amenities contribute to the yacht's refined character, while air conditioning helps maintain comfort in warm-weather cruising conditions.

With its combination of a spacious salon, fully equipped galley, private owner and guest accommodations, and two complete heads, the interior offers the versatility of a much larger yacht in a sleek express-cruiser design. The result is a sophisticated and welcoming interior that makes the Sea Ray Sundancer 500 equally appealing for weekend getaways, extended cruising, and entertaining guests in comfort and style.

Engine Room

This Sundancer features a well-engineered engine room designed to accommodate its substantial twin-diesel power package while providing practical access to essential mechanical and service components. Accessible through a large hatch in the cockpit deck, the compartment is thoughtfully arranged for routine inspections, maintenance, and servicing. The layout makes efficient use of the available space, with service points positioned to facilitate access to key systems. The engine room houses the twin diesel engines, with supporting systems that include fuel filtration and water-separation equipment, raw-water strainers, exhaust components, and associated plumbing and electrical systems. The vessel's onboard generator is positioned toward the aft portion of the compartment, with additional equipment and service connections arranged throughout the machinery space.

Sound insulation, dedicated engine-room lighting, bilge pumps, and an automatic fire-suppression system contribute to the compartment's practical design. The installation also incorporates an engine and generator oil-change system, helping simplify routine fluid servicing.

With its substantial machinery installation and organized arrangement of critical components, the Sundancer 500's engine room reflects Sea Ray's emphasis on combining performance, serviceability, and practical engineering in a large express cruiser. The accessible layout is a valuable feature for owners who appreciate the importance of regular maintenance and mechanical accessibility.

Broker's Remarks

Stepping onboard this boat, the owner's pride of ownership is apparent. The seller has owned a handful of Sea Ray Yachts and this one is dialed in. Boating equipment like air conditioning and refrigeration have been replaced. Cosmetic things like canvas, covers and flat screen TVs have been replaced to once again look new. The newly installed Amtico floor below deck looks sharp. Also, there is record of major engine service work performed at 1180 hours.

This is a great chance to own one of the largest and most popular models built in the history of Sea Ray Yachts.
