"SERENDIP" is a clean, well-maintained and genuinely turnkey example of one of Sunseeker's most popular flybridge models. It's the kind of boat that feels right the moment you step onboard, with everything in place and nothing needing attention.
The layout is exactly why these boats are so well regarded, with a teak-laid cockpit that provides a practical entertaining space, flowing seamlessly into the saloon to create an easy indoor-outdoor connection suited to the Gold Coast lifestyle. Inside, the saloon is bright, open and functional, with a well-positioned galley and a comfortable lounge and dining area that works when you have family or guests onboard. Below, she offers three cabins sleeping six, including a full-beam master, VIP forward and twin bunks, making her a very capable family cruiser or extended stay platform.
The flybridge is a standout, fully enclosed with updated clears to create a true second living space that can be used in all conditions. For a 50-footer, the space and usability here are excellent.
Powered by twin Caterpillar C12 diesel engines, "SERENDIP" delivers strong, reliable performance with a comfortable cruise in the low 20-knot range, combined with the solid, predictable handling you expect from a shaft-driven flybridge cruiser. Dual helm stations and bow thruster control make her easy to manage and well suited to both experienced owners and those stepping up.
Where this boat separates itself is in its condition. She presents extremely well and has benefitted from consistent maintenance and thoughtful upgrades, including updated electronics, enclosed flybridge, upgraded electrical systems, modern appliances, and recent servicing and underwater works completed.
Well-kept Manhattan 50s are getting harder to find, particularly in this condition, and "SERENDIP" represents a genuine turnkey opportunity in a proven model.
Located on the Gold Coast and available for inspection by appointment.
