No Name - SHEARWATER FOR SALE

Bold, confident, and beautifully balanced, this 2005 33-foot diesel express is the sweet spot where performance meets poise. Her broad 12-foot beam gifts remarkable stability and volume, while a composite fiberglass hull and fiberglass decks deliver the strength, quiet ride, and easy maintenance discerning owners expect. Built in the United States and powered by twin Yanmar inboard diesels, she offers the reassuring reliability and fuel economy that make long weekends and spirited coastal passages a pleasure rather than a plan.

The helm is thoughtfully arranged with excellent sightlines and intuitive controls, encouraging relaxed confidence whether cruising at a comfortable 25 knots or stretching to an exhilarating 30 knots. Underway, the hull feels solid and composed, with the kind of planted, predictable handling that inspires you to go a little farther and stay out a little longer. A 325-gallon fuel capacity provides impressive range for exploring new anchorages, while 50 gallons of freshwater supports effortless days on the hook.

On deck, generous lounging and conversation spaces flow naturally from the protected helm to the open cockpit—equally suited to laid-back afternoons with friends or a sunset departure to your favorite weekend hideaway. Non-skid fiberglass side decks and practical handholds contribute to safe, easy movement, underscoring the yacht’s thoughtful, owner-focused design.

Below, an inviting cabin blends warm accents with bright, easy-care finishes. The salon offers comfortable seating for dining or unwinding, served by a compact, efficient galley with room for everything you need. Comfortable berths make overnighting a treat, and the enclosed head provides welcome privacy and convenience. It’s a welcoming retreat that feels larger than her length suggests—ideal for couples, small families, or close friends sharing the journey.

Confident, capable, and beautifully proportioned, this 33-footer is the versatile yacht that adapts to your lifestyle—swift for day boating, gracious for weekend cruising, and robust enough for extended coastal adventures. If you’ve been searching for an elegant, diesel-powered express with the soul of a true traveler, this 2005 example deserves your attention.
