Overview

The owner is committed to an immediate sale, presenting a rare opportunity to acquire SEA BOLD, a yacht designed by C.

Salon

Large seating areas enjoy beautiful sightlines in the spacious salon, where white walls and ceiling sections are contrasted by teak trim and cabinetry to create a comfortably elegant ambiance that extends on the same level through to the forward windows. Covered side decks provide added shade, while beyond the built-in bar console area and the flybridge stairway lie the dining room and study. The lounge arrangement features two sofas, a chair, and a bench—all recently reupholstered—anchored by a teak coffee table with fold-out leaves and complemented by two stools/ottomans, teak cabinetry and trim, and teak wooden blinds. Thoughtful amenities include overhead lighting, integrated overhead speakers for the audio/video system, and an adjustable-angle TV. A bar console with an ice maker, refrigeration, and storage serves guests with ease, and supplemental storage is neatly concealed within the cabinetry.

Dining room

Forward of the bar console, the dining room seats eight and, like the Salon, is awash in beautiful natural light thanks to expansive windows and side deck doors. A teak table is surrounded by eight leather chairs, complemented by teak cabinetry and trim and finished with teak wooden blinds, while overhead lighting ensures an inviting ambiance after sunset. Port and starboard doors open to the side decks for effortless circulation, and from this central hub stairways lead to the Flybridge, aft to the Guest Accommodations, and forward via dedicated stairs to the Galley and Crew areas.

Study

In keeping with other vessels designed for northeastern United States customers, Sea Bold presents a beautifully appointed space that serves equally well as a refined desk for productive work or a serene nook for reading, all bathed in warm light streaming through the forward windows.

A staircase forward of the salon provides interior access to the enclosed flybridge, where a beautiful helm—anchored by a destroyer-style stainless steel steering wheel, electronic single‑lever throttle and gear controls, and Caterpillar ECMs—is served by three Stidd helm chairs. Expansive windows grant the captain superb sightlines while bathing the space in natural light that plays across warm teak furnishings and a teak sole. This elevated retreat doubles as a welcoming lounge, centered around a huge chart table with drawers, upholstered bench seating, and a loose chair, complemented by built-in cabinetry with ample storage, a large television on a gimbal, overhead lighting, and courtesy lights for dark running.

To starboard, a refined entertainment unit incorporates a sink, a refrigerator, a freezer, an ice maker, generous storage cabinets, and a television, all enhanced by thoughtfully placed overhead lighting. With the simple addition of a cooktop or grill, this space readily transforms into an additional galley for effortless alfresco service.

Boat deck

Lower aft deck

The lower aft deck invites relaxed gatherings with covered seating for six and a convenient wet bar with integrated storage. Just a few steps from the salon and connected by a ladder to the flybridge, it forms a natural hub between indoor and open-air spaces. Encircled by waist-high coaming with walk-through gates, it offers reassuring protection for small children or pets, allowing the salon door to remain open for seamless passage in and out while entertaining. A canvas extension adds further weather protection over the seating, while an additional removable "sail" can be extended over the portion of the aft deck beyond the seating area, where three more chairs are located.

Main exterior decks

Thoughtfully designed walk-around decks deliver unobstructed circulation from bow to stern. In-deck storage compartments line the side decks, complemented by a large storage compartment in the forward section of the coach top and a bosun’s locker aft on the starboard side. Stairs lead down to the swim platform, which features an in-deck compartment sized to fit the tide-ride stair system.

The deck is equipped for effortless handling and elegant arrivals with an Anchor Windlass VRC 4500 vertical gypsy (hydraulic) managing the ground tackle, partnered with one CQR plow main anchor weighing 108 lbs and one Fortress anchor, all riding on 5/8" HT chain measuring 300 feet. Two MUIR VC 4000 (Port and Starboard Aft Hydraulic) capstans provide powerful assistance when docking or mooring. A 6-foot-wide swim platform offers superb access for water sports and the tender, while dedicated storage inside keeps the boarding passerelle secure when not in use, complemented by UMT boarding stairs for seamless embarkation. Night operations are confidently supported by two ACR searchlights and aft deck floodlights, and comfort at the waterline is enhanced by a transom shower, with midships boarding gates adding practical versatility for side-to access.
