2002 Sea Ray 550 Sundancer

“Carolina Girl” is a 2002 (Launched 3/2023) Sea Ray 550 Sundancer (59’4” LOA) that represents the pinnacle of Sea Ray’s Golden Era, a period defined by overbuilt hulls and timeless design and luxury. This vessel far exceeds the typical maintenance profile, offering a level of mechanical and aesthetic confidence rarely found in this vintage yacht.

Built during the early 2000s—a decade synonymous with Sea Ray’s peak build quality—this 550 DA delivers a stable, authoritative ride. Ongoing engine maintenance and repair ensures she performs with the same reliability and power that made this model a legend in the express cruiser market.

The DA 550 was designed for socializing, the boat features an expansive climate-controlled cockpit, allowing for comfortable entertaining regardless of the weather. The exterior has been revitalized with all-new premium upholstery and canvas, giving her a crisp, modern curb appeal that stands out at any marina.

Key Features:

• Professionally Maintained: Systematic upkeep/replacement of worn systems and scheduled engine maintenance.
• Upgraded Exterior: New vinyl upholstery and canvas for a "like-new" feel.
• Iconic Layout: Two-stateroom, two-head interior with a massive salon that feels more like a luxury apartment than a boat.
• Climate Comfort: Large air-conditioned cockpit and 3 x (new) cabin a/c’s are perfect for large group hosting.
• Proven Pedigree: The classic DA 550 layout offers a massive salon and two-stateroom privacy.

This is a turn-key opportunity for a buyer who understands that proven maintenance and original build quality are the most important factors in a pre-owned yacht.
