Introduction

Uniesse is a custom and semi custom Italian Yacht manufacturer.  For those seeking a step up in build quality, engineering, fit, finish and ride over the mass produced Italian built motor yachts, than the 55’ “Liberty” is for you.  She was custom built by her current and original owner.  She is well traveled up and down the eastern sea board and throughout the Bahamas.  Her size combined with good sight lines and walk around side decks make her easily handled by two people.  Her interior layout is highly customized and features an enlarged master stateroom and enlarged master head for maximum enjoyment by her owners.  Below please find a detailed description of her interior arrangement along with equipment, features and highlights. 

Walkthrough 

“Liberty” can be easily boarded by her large swim platform with aft deck accessibility via port or stbd stairs with small safety gates. The swim platform is large enough to carry a tender and has a custom upgraded 650lb Opac Mare Passeralle that will also double as a davit if needed.  Both the swim platform and aft deck have new painted non-skid decks 11/14.  On either side of the vessel aft deck, neatly concealed under cover are Capstan warping winches for heavy duty Med style tie up or to provide the extra leverage needed sometimes to lock lines down super tight.   The aft deck is spacious and has molded seating with direct access to the main salon or up the molded stairs to the flybridge.  Full walk around side decks allow for easy line handling, fender placement and bow access.  Entering the main salon you are instantly struck by her beautiful high gloss light wood.  Comfortable U shaped seating area is immediately to stbd.  Across from that on the port side is the TV, high gloss cabinetry and other great features including………

It is suitable for a couple, couple with a child, or even a bunch of grandchildren.  There is also a flat screen TV hanging on the wall hooked up to Satellite.   The VIP has an adjoining head with full shower and all of the creature comforts for ship board guests.
