MENU 
Jeanneau 53
This Jeanneau 53 yacht features a convertible two-to-three-cabin, three-head layout with a shoal keel and in-mast furling mainsail. This is the aft owner's stateroom layout with symmetrical twin guest cabins forward that have a removable bulkhead to combine the guest cabins into a super large cabin and berth. That is the current configuration onboard, and the removable bulkhead is currently stored below the berths.
The cockpit is well laid out and extremely spacious. The accommodations are also spacious and have a luxurious feel. This is a comfortable yacht for long-distance cruising and entertaining.
This is a two-owner boat, and the current owners have owned the boat for the last 4 years. She is well-maintained and everything is in working order. She just had new bottom paint this past month (Aug/2023). Her teak decks are also well-maintained, and recently serviced (Aug/2023). The boat shows well inside and out. Originally from the Chesapeake Bay, this vessel has now been in Hilton Head for the last couple of years and has made several trips down to the Bahamas and the Caribbean, that last of which was just this past winter. This is a well-maintained, optioned, and upgraded vessel that is ready to go Caribbean cruising again this winter.
