2000 STARDUST HOUSEBOAT

Step aboard this 53-footer and you’ll notice how thoughtfully the space has been laid out for real time on the water, not just weekend visits. Wide side decks and solid rails give you confidence moving fore and aft, even with a cooler in hand. Inside, the ceiling height and open floorplan make it feel more like a floating condo than a cabin. Storage is everywhere—under settees, in tucked-away lockers, and along built-ins—so long stays don’t mean living out of duffel bags. The quiet ride at displacement speeds, combined with the generous windows and sliding doors, creates a relaxed, social atmosphere whether you’re underway or on the hook.

This Stardust houseboat is particularly well suited to sheltered waterways, broad rivers, and scenic lakes where slow cruising and extended stays are the norm. Its aluminum hull handles the occasional wake and shifting water levels with ease, while the generous interior volume makes it comfortable when weather keeps you inside. The expansive topside area is ideal for enjoying calm afternoons at anchor or tied to a dock with friends. With modest engine power and a generator, it’s efficient to run, easy to maneuver in close quarters, and ready for those quiet coves and long no-wake stretches that define this region’s style of boating.
