2001 Sea Ray 480 Sedan Bridge

Step aboard and the first surprise is how much natural light pours through the salon windows and forward glass—no cave-like feel here. The open galley and raised dinette make it easy to stay part of the conversation while you’re cooking, and there’s enough storage to keep the clutter tucked well out of sight. Below, three real staterooms mean guests get actual doors, not curtains, and the master has the kind of headroom you normally see on a larger yacht. Up on the bridge, the generous seating wraps around so everyone faces forward underway, and wide molded steps—not a ladder—make trips up and down safe for kids, pets, and anyone carrying a tray of food or gear.

In this region, you need a boat that’s comfortable crossing open stretches yet easy to manage in tight marinas and shallow approaches. The 480 Sedan Bridge’s hull has the weight and beam to handle afternoon chop with confidence, while still drawing a depth that works for sandbar days and tucked‑away anchorages. The elevated bridge delivers a clear view over channel markers, crab pots, and weekend traffic, and the molded staircase keeps movement secure even when it’s bumpy. Below decks, the three-stateroom layout is ideal for long weekends when friends or family decide to stay aboard, turning quick day trips into relaxed, overnight adventures.
