2002 Sea Ray 480 Motor Yacht

Step aboard and the first thing you notice is how easy this 48-footer is to live with day after day. Wide side decks and solid rails make line handling and anchoring feel secure, even when the chop kicks up. The raised aft deck keeps you above the spray with excellent visibility, and there’s plenty of room for loose chairs or a small table to turn it into your sunset perch. Down below, generous headroom and real separation between the cabins give everyone privacy, whether you’re hosting another couple or cruising with family. Thoughtful storage throughout—under steps, in sole lockers, and along the hull sides—means longer trips without feeling cluttered.

For waters where you may face shifting conditions—short chop one day, flat calm the next—the 480 Motor Yacht’s solid hull and weight provide a reassuring, planted ride. The enclosed, climate-friendly helm and aft deck help you extend your season comfortably, shielding you from wind, spray, and sudden weather changes common in this region. With three proper staterooms, it’s ideal for longer island hops or canal cruising, giving guests real cabins instead of makeshift berths. The moderate draft opens up shallower anchorages and tucked-away coves, while the ample fuel and tankage let you stretch your range between marinas, making it a smart choice for varied local cruising grounds.
