Forward, elevated bulwarks enhance safety and silhouette, while the windlass with stainless anchor, ACR spotlight, and foot switches are within quick reach. The bow lounge is more than a simple bench: a C‑shaped forward lounge with fold‑flat backrests and a stowable bow table creates a true outdoor salon. Opposite, a forward‑facing settee forms proper opposing seating for five or more. For the hottest days, the Mediterranean-style sunshade with four poles and mesh canopy deploys quickly and stows neatly beneath the aft lounge. Fusion audio and dimmable blue rope lighting complete this elegant social zone.

Wide side decks lead aft to a broad hydraulic platform with self-deploying steps, ensuring safe access regardless of platform height. Rather than unused crew quarters, the L550 smartly provides a large, centerline transom storage compartment with line hangers, fender racks, and tender chocks that slide for easy removal. With 1,000 lb capacity, the platform carries a substantial tender—included is a premium 2023 Williams Minijet 280, the benchmark in jet tenders.

Step up into the cockpit to find a generous L‑shaped settee around a folding, maintenance‑free Corian table. Folding gunwale doors provide convenient side access from fixed docks, and the fuel fills are cleverly hidden under the threshold footrest—simple, safe, and tidy. A second joystick in the cockpit integrates the inboards and thrusters for superb visibility and stress‑free docking.

The portside wet bar is ideally positioned so it doesn’t intrude into the cockpit or pinch the side deck. Entertaining is effortless with the Kenyon grill, drawer fridge, and a full‑span electric retractable sunshade.

Triple sliding glass doors open the salon completely, sliding either direction so the aft galley connects seamlessly to the cockpit—a hallmark of modern coupe and express cruiser design.

The aft galley, arranged island‑style with two barstools, replaces the traditional, space‑hungry dining table. High‑gloss Dark Cherry cabinetry is paired with modern lacquered uppers for a contemporary, yacht‑class finish. Dual drawer-style refrigerators and freezers reside beneath the Corian counters. A concealed microwave hides behind a sliding cabinet, while a Kenyon two‑burner cooktop and stainless sink equip the space for extended stays aboard.

Opposite, lacquered storage, an Isotherm wine chiller, and the primary electrical distribution panel sit just inside the salon door for easy access. The TV rises on command, paired with a Bose CineMate surround system for immersive movie nights.

Forward, the salon features opposing Ultraleather settees: a two‑person starboard sofa and a larger portside L‑shaped lounge. Dual ottomans stow and flip to serve as cushioned seats or hard‑top cocktail tables. The port lounge converts to a double berth, bringing total sleeping capacity to eight across three staterooms plus the salon.

An expansive electric sunroof bathes the salon in natural light and fresh air underway, with a sliding shade to keep temperatures cool on bright days—another hallmark of a premium sport yacht.

Two Stidd helm chairs sit on a raised platform for superior sightlines. A sliding starboard window improves visibility along the hull side and makes communication with dockhands simple.

The helm is fully equipped for seasoned captains: dual Raymarine GS165 displays flank a Caterpillar color engine screen, with an i70 depth display alongside. Sea Ray’s digital switching is accessible through the Raymarine interface (with manual backups), allowing quick control of lighting, air conditioning, pumps, shades, and more. Raymarine’s built‑in Wi‑Fi enables tablet control from anywhere onboard—true superyacht‑style convenience in a 55‑foot motor yacht.

A drop‑down “false floor” improves visibility when standing. Glendinning binnacles and the inboard joystick sit naturally at the outboard armrest of the captain’s chair. The leather‑wrapped wheel with stainless spokes, backlit switches, Raymarine VHF, and p70RS autopilot round out a helm designed for confident coastal cruising.

Below, the full‑beam master is aft, positioned to minimize hull slap and maximize tranquility. The cleverly offset island berth delivers walk‑around access while opening up floor space—rare in this size range. Appointments include a washer/dryer, large Samsung TV with Bose CineMate audio, a forward‑facing chaise lounge, and a full chest of drawers—no compromises between lounging and storage.

The master en suite sits off the private entry corridor with a roomy, stand‑up shower featuring a rain fixture, a vessel sink, tile accents, and a sophisticated blend of lacquered and wood cabinetry for a clean, modern aesthetic.

Forward, the VIP stateroom offers a mostly island, walk‑around berth for easy linen changes, large hull windows with opening ports for light and ventilation, mirrored hanging lockers, a TV, and private access to the day head.

The day head mirrors the master’s upscale finishes and includes a circular shower that opens when not in use to expand the footprint—thoughtful design that makes the lower deck feel larger.

From her SeaKeeper 9 gyrostabilizer and extended‑range fuel to her 29 kW generator, hydraulic platform, and comprehensive Raymarine suite, this L550 is an exquisitely prepared luxury express cruiser—an elegant, modern motor yacht built for effortless weekends, extended coastal passages, and memorable entertaining. Available offsite near the Annapolis Boat Show by appointment.

Hull and deck features

Meticulously finished from the waterline up, the hull and deck shine with bottom paint and a gel coat exterior finish, while the L‑Class graphics and a lit Sea Ray emblem signal pedigree. Safety and polish come standard with 316 stainless‑steel bow rail with welded stanchions, intermediate rails and life lines, matching deck rails, handrails and a bridge venturi windshield with stainless‑steel frame. The dramatic, bonded‑in curved tempered/tinted glass windshield features a two‑pane forward section, an electric starboard drop‑down side window, a windshield defroster, washer system and 24V wipers. Confident close‑quarters handling is delivered by 24V electric bow and stern thrusters, aided by a stainless‑steel rub rail insert and thru‑hull fittings also in stainless steel. On deck, stainless deck fill plates port and starboard, a deck hatch, generous hull windows, and flush opening portlights in each head invite air and light. The foredeck indulges with recessed wrap‑around bench seating complete with cushions and stowable backrests, integrated foredeck storage, and a remote‑controlled halogen spotlight. A lazarette organizes life aboard with dedicated storage for fenders, lines, cleaning supplies and tools, while LED navigation lights and underwater lighting—blue or white—grace the transom with four fixtures. The composite material stringer system underpins strength, and at the water’s edge a hydraulic marine‑lift swim platform with remote and manual pump offers 1,000 lb capacity and a concealed swim ladder with integral grab handle. Engine room ventilation is purpose‑designed, and a windshield is matched by an additional bridge venturi; windshield defroster, washer system and 24V wipers complete visibility. Custom Sea Ray thru‑bolted stainless‑steel cleats, eight in total, finish this seaworthy, refined ensemble.

A 120V refrigerator, generous seating with storage, dedicated lockers for fenders and gear, and the ship’s bell all speak to thoughtful detail.
