2007 Sea Ray 40 Motor Yacht

Step aboard and you’ll notice how much natural light pours into the salon through the large windows, giving the interior an open, condo-like feel. The raised dinette and galley layout keeps everyone in the conversation, whether you’re cooking or lounging. Below, the full-beam aft stateroom with its private head and separate shower makes overnighting feel more like a boutique hotel than a boat. Up top, the molded steps and wide side decks make line handling and docking less of a gymnastics routine. With a solid hull and a generous beam, this 40-footer feels planted underfoot, even when traffic kicks up a bit.

This 40 Motor Yacht is built for the kind of mixed cruising you find on connected river systems and large inland waters. The enclosed, climate-controlled bridge lets you extend your season comfortably, from cool spring mornings to warm late-season afternoons. Its aft cabin layout provides privacy for guests during longer weekend runs, while the shallow draft helps when exploring quieter anchorages off the main channel. The substantial freeboard and hull design handle passing wakes and occasional chop with confidence, yet the boat is still nimble enough for locks, marinas, and tighter riverfront slips. It’s a sweet spot between big-boat comfort and practical, local cruising versatility.
