Description
The Sea Ray 480 Motor Yacht delivers luxury cruising with powerful, reliable performance from twin Cummins QSM-11 diesel engines (683 HP each, 1,366 total HP). These quiet, electronically controlled engines provide smooth acceleration, efficient cruising, and excellent handling for both long passages and easy docking.
On deck, the yacht is designed for entertaining and comfort. The expansive aft deck includes a wet bar with icemaker and integrated storage, all protected by a hardtop enclosure. Molded, non-skid steps lead to the swim platform with concealed stainless-steel ladder. Wide side decks ensure safe passage forward, where a large sunpad makes the foredeck a prime spot for relaxation.
Below deck, the interior feels like a home on the water. The forward stateroom features a full berth with innerspring mattress and generous storage, while the guest stateroom offers twin berths that convert to a king with filler cushions. The master stateroom spans the aft beam with a queen berth, cedar-lined wardrobe, built-ins, and an ensuite with separate shower and vanity.
The galley is fully equipped with solid-surface countertops, recessed three-burner cooktop, microwave/convection oven, refrigerator/freezer, and a washer/dryer combo for extended cruising.
