Sapphire - Tiara FOR SALE

Sapphire is the newest available Tiara F53 flybridge motor yacht on the market, and arguably the most comprehensively outfitted luxury cruiser. Her knowledgeable owners have cared for her meticulously, maintaining her to yacht‑class standards. Reliable Caterpillar C12.9s with straight shafts (direct drive; no pods) deliver confident power. Stored six months a year in a climate‑controlled, hurricane‑rated facility, her condition reflects it. A standout bluewater power yacht—schedule your private viewing to appreciate her quality.

Accommodations

You will not find a newer, nicer, or better‑equipped 53 Tiara flybridge than “Sapphire.” The F53 delivers the complete package: an exceptionally roomy flybridge that is fully enclosed and cooled by upgraded 44,000 BTU air conditioning, a generous salon with expanded seating thanks to the deletion of the lower helm, a well‑equipped galley, and luxurious staterooms in a two‑stateroom layout with a dedicated laundry room—an impeccably balanced plan ideal for extended cruising and elegant onboard living.

Her knowledgeable owners have maintained her to an exacting standard, storing her in a climate‑controlled building to spare her the harsh summer Florida sun; previous owners likewise kept her under cover or in winter storage. The care shows throughout. Seasoned cruisers with one Great Loop under their belts and extensive passagemaking experience, the current owners recently returned from a long Bahamas cruise, and Sapphire stands today in true turn‑key condition.

Performance and systems are equally compelling. Power comes from 1000 hp Cat 12.9 inboard straight‑shaft engines showing only 864 hours, complemented by a Seakeeper 9 with 365 hours for remarkable comfort at anchor and underway. Precision handling is effortless with Yacht Controller, joystick control, and both bow and stern thrusters. A Presto tender lift installed in 2022 carries a 2017 Avon tender powered by a 40 hp Yamaha, while a recent 2024 window tint refines both look and comfort. Fresh forward Strataglass panels on the flybridge enhance visibility and weather protection, and new Pro Series PSS shaft seals underscore diligent mechanical stewardship. Electrical autonomy is robust via a 3000‑watt, 24‑volt Victron inverter paired with eight Group 31 AGM batteries, backed by new house, starting, and thruster batteries. All maintenance is up to date, leaving nothing for the next owner to do but step aboard and go.

As the manufacturer notes, the F53 is infused with beautiful lines, a sleek flybridge, and the legendary Tiara accoutrements that place you comfortably at the center of the experience. Ample, connected spaces bring captain and guests together, with easy access to the flybridge and distinct lounges for both helm and companions. It is a masterful blend of styling and space efficiency that makes this Tiara a sleeker, more sophisticated fifty‑three‑footer—one that others can only look up to, quite literally.
