2003 Silverton Silverton 453 Motor Yacht

Step aboard and you’ll notice how the split-level salon and galley give the 453 the feel of a much larger yacht. The wide-body design pushes the cabin sides out, so there’s no wasted space—just big windows, generous headroom, and real walk-around comfort. Below, the three-stateroom, two-head layout makes it a practical floating condo, whether you’re weekending or staying aboard for the season. Up top, the molded stairways—no ladders—make moving between the swim platform, aft deck, and bridge safe and easy, even with a drink in hand. The raised aft deck enclosure becomes a second living room, keeping you out of the sun but still right in the breeze.

This 453 Motor Yacht is well-suited to local waters where you’ll mix open-water runs with protected inshore cruising. The hull is beamy and stable, which helps when afternoon chop kicks up, yet the relatively modest draft lets you nose into shallower anchorages and quiet coves. The full-enclosure bridge and aft deck give you a comfortable command center in shifting weather and strong sun. With diesel power and ample tankage, it’s an easy choice for longer stretches between fuel docks or leisurely ICW-style cruising, while the condo-like interior makes extended stays aboard just as appealing as quick weekend hops.
