Symbol 55 Classic
Welcome to the Symbol 55 Classic, an ideal pilothouse yacht for those that want to go farther for longer in complete safety and comfort...all in a manageable size perfect for the owner/operator.
Thoughtfully designed for safe and easy movement throughout the vessel with high gunnels, portugese bridge, wide walkways and steps. Upper and lower helm stations, bow AND stern thruster and Yacht Controller docking remote allow you to take control with confidence!
Quality of construction is apparent in the smooth ride, further enhanced by the fin stabilizer system, allowing for a larger acceptable weather window for travel...you will be smooth and stable in the Symbol 55 Classic even in rougher weather.
Marvel at the extreme attention paid to the custom Aritex designed stainless steel fixtures throughout the vessel...from the heavy duty bow rails, to the pilothouse doors, to the beefy table pedestals...wow I am highly impressed throughout...all top of the line custom 316L stainless steel.
Storage space is abundant throughout this thoughtfully laid out vessel, no need to compromise on gear and supplies for those longer trips!
SLOW RIDE is a superb example of a Symbol 55 Classic, kept in excellent condition throughout both mechanically and cosmetically by her knowledgeable owner.
