2001 Sea Ray 480 Sedan Bridge

Step aboard and you’ll notice how this 480 feels bigger than her measurements suggest. Wide side decks, stout rails, and molded steps up to the bridge make moving around underway feel secure and simple. Inside, the generous salon windows pour in natural light, so you’re never cut off from the water you’re cruising. The dinette is positioned perfectly opposite the galley, turning mealtimes into a social event instead of a solo chore. Down below, the third stateroom is surprisingly versatile—guest cabin, kids’ nook, or dedicated storage for dive gear and luggage. Underway, the hull’s solid feel and predictable handling inspire confidence, whether you’re easing into a tight slip or stretching her legs on an open run.

In these waters, the 480 Sedan Bridge really comes into its own. The elevated helm gives you a clear view over shifting sandbars, crab pots, and weekend traffic, while the enclosed bridge keeps the breeze pleasant and the sun in check during long days outside. Her draft is friendly enough for exploring shallower bays and tucked‑away anchorages, yet she still has the weight and hull form to slice through afternoon chop comfortably. The combination of diesel power, generous fuel capacity, and efficient cruise speeds means you can cover serious distance along the coast or between islands without constant fuel stops, then settle in at anchor with the space and comfort of a floating condo.
