Sea Ray 510 Fly Yacht Review
Posted 2015/08/17 at 18:14 in Yacht Reviews
The consistency in design and stamina with Sea Rays is no let down when it comes to the Sea Ray 510 Fly. The company tries to offer the same great qualities in all of their vessels that their customers keep coming back for and are accustomed to. This is the first vessel to be equipped with the inboard joystick system by Cummins. It used computer technology to power the engines and thruster. In the steering console you will find Bennett tab controls at the right of the wheel itself and right below it. There is a Raymarine Hybrid Touch Screen on the dashboard and dual disc sticks. You will find that the ride is extremely smooth with the two 601 horsepower Cummins QSC8.3 diesels. The boat offers a predictable, enjoyable ride at any speed.

Accomodations
The master suite is huge and full-beamed. There are three V-shape windows that allow the perfect amount of light to flow in, and it completely finished and comfortable with room to stand up where needed. It almost seems like you are in a hotel with room to walk around the queen bed without the fear of hitting your head on a low ceiling. In the master you will also find a private bathroom and a dinette on the right side. There is even a seat in the shower stall!
The 380 is designed with a three room two bathroom layout. One thing that stands out with this model is that the saloon windows are the biggest ever installed on a Sea Ray. There is also a special area inder the cockpit lounge that can double as a room for the crew.
The flying bridge itself is sprawling with lounge areas in both the front and rear, and is very user friendly. It doubles as an access point to another part of the ship. When not in use, you cannot see the entrance at all.
With all of the elbow room and out of the box features, this yacht is one to take a look at!
