AQUA - SEA RAY FOR SALE

Launched in 1998, M/Y AQUA is an immaculately kept Sea Ray 550 Sedan Bridge, the extended evolution of Sea Ray’s 500DB and prized for its generous cockpit, true three-stateroom arrangement, and bright, open-plan salon framed by panoramic wraparound glass. Her current owners have tirelessly updated and modernized the yacht, sparing no expense to ensure she presents as flawlessly as the images suggest, performs with confidence, and feels significantly younger than her vintage. Recent care includes a fresh bottom treatment, PropSpeed on all running gear, renewed canvas and enclosure, solar upgrades, new air-conditioning units, and a substantial roster of mechanical and interior refinements. Step aboard and the experience is unmistakably turnkey—a luxury flybridge motor yacht and sedan bridge cruiser with the poise, comfort, and effortless livability of a contemporary family cruising yacht.

Whether gliding along the ICW or lingering onboard for long, unhurried weekends, M/Y AQUA exemplifies the dependability, volume, and approachable systems that secured the 550’s reputation as one of Sea Ray’s most celebrated bridge-deck motor yacht designs.

Recent/notable updates

A thoughtful program of recent and notable updates elevates comfort, style, and reliability throughout. Inside, climate control has been refreshed with new air-conditioning units for both the VIP stateroom and the guest stateroom, while the salon gains a new coffee table with integrated LED accent lighting that complements new LED illumination carried throughout the interior and within the showers.

Soft goods have been renewed with new linens, bedding, and covers throughout, portlights in the VIP and guest staterooms benefit from new seals, plexiglass lenses, and screens, and the ice maker receives a new seal to keep service effortless.

On deck, relaxation and protection from the elements are prioritized with a new forward sunpad, a new wraparound windshield sun screen, and a new cockpit cover, while a full flybridge enclosure fitted with Strataglass windows extends the cruising season. The helm gains new captain and companion seats, and traction and comfort are improved with new SeaDek on the swim platform and flybridge. Nightlife is brightened by new LED lighting in the cockpit and on the flybridge, tender operations are modernized with a new 10’ dinghy and a new Suzuki 2.5HP four-stroke outboard, and the hull presents beautifully after a complete polish and wax.

Electronics and onboard tech have been refreshed with eight new marine speakers and two new marine amplifiers driving a new salon sound system with Bluetooth and karaoke. Security and awareness are enhanced by two exterior solar WiFi security cameras and an engine room WiFi camera, while navigation gains clarity with new LED navigation lights and a new LED anchor light.

In the machinery space, reliability has been comprehensively addressed: all thru-hull valves and associated hoses have been replaced with new components, both toilets have been completely rebuilt with new seals, and one toilet pump has been rebuilt. The main engines have been serviced with fresh oil, new fuel filters, and new impellers. The generator has likewise received new oil, new fuel filters, and a new impeller, its fuel pump has been rebuilt, and its heat exchanger is new. Additional care includes new rudder seals, fresh bottom paint, PropSpeed applied to all running gear, and new zinc anodes.

Further refinements include a new 12-bottle wine fridge, new hatch seals for the master and the flybridge, and general vessel polishing with a cosmetic renewal that leaves the yacht crisp and current.

Aft deck

The aft deck of M/Y AQUA invites easy gatherings with a wide U-shaped seating arrangement and freshly installed SeaDek that lends a crisp, contemporary finish underfoot. A sliding glass entry connects directly to the salon to maintain a seamless flow between indoors and out, while overhead lighting, molded steps to the bridge, and stainless handrails combine inviting ambiance with everyday practicality for relaxed lounging and effortless movement underway or at anchor.

Bridge deck

The bridge deck delivers commanding visibility and a comfortable perch for guests to lounge while underway. A generous wraparound settee offers ample seating, set over new SeaDek for surefooted comfort, and a full isinglass enclosure preserves protection from wind and spray without sacrificing the view. Forward, the helm features dual captain’s chairs, a full suite of navigation equipment, clear instrumentation, and intuitive control placement, while convenient storage, cupholders, and stainless rails make this elevated space the natural social hub during cruising.

Salon

Stepping in from the aft deck, the salon opens bright and airy with large windows and a clean, neutral palette. A long leather settee stretches along the starboard side, paired with a glossy white coffee table and modern accents, while the portside entertainment console integrates a TV and storage without intruding on the room. Warm wood-tone flooring ties the composition together, creating an inviting setting for unwinding, entertaining, or simply taking in the view through the glass.

Galley & dinette

Forward of the salon, the galley and dinette share a thoughtfully elevated space that keeps the cook connected to the conversation. The galley provides generous counter surfaces, a practical dual-sink arrangement, an updated backsplash, and stainless refrigeration, making meal preparation effortless without isolating the chef. Directly opposite, the raised dinette seats four in comfort and capitalizes on the panoramic forward windows, a favorite nook for unhurried breakfasts, plotting the day’s course, or casual dinners at anchor.

Accommodations

A short stairway descends to the lower companionway and the principal accommodations. Forward, the Owner’s Stateroom centers on an island berth framed by wraparound shelving and a mirrored vanity that readily doubles as a personal workspace. Soft, curved cabinetry and considered lighting foster a serene private retreat, while the ensuite head adds a molded shower enclosure, mirrored storage, and a refreshed backsplash that keeps the space bright and easy to maintain. Aft to starboard, the VIP Stateroom provides a comfortable double berth with drawer storage, overhead cabinetry, a dedicated vanity with mirror and stool, and natural light through twin portholes. Across the passage, the Third Stateroom is arranged with upper and lower berths, padded bolsters, a portlight, and an entertainment screen ideal for guests or children, and just outside a built-in washer/dryer proves invaluable for extended cruising. Serving the lower deck, the shared guest head features a full-size vanity, mirrored cabinets, an updated backsplash, and a separate shower with molded seating, keeping daily routines effortless for all aboard.
