Cockpit Living - The Social Heart
Life aboard this Sundancer revolves around the expansive cockpit, and it's easy to see why. Step aboard via the hydraulic swim platform and you're instantly in holiday mode -- leave the platform just below water level as a private "beach club", a place to cool your feet while watching the family swim, or use it as the ultimate tender-handling station at the press of a button.
The cockpit itself is brilliantly laid out for entertaining. To starboard, a huge dining table invites long lunches and sunset dinners, complemented by an U-shaped lounge. A fully equipped wet bar with fridge ensures cold drinks and snacks are always close at hand, while the overhead hardtop with opening hatches offers shade and ventilation in equal measure.
The helm is superbly positioned with a twin swivel seat, so the skipper stays connected to the social scene while enjoying a commanding view. Here, the twin Raymarine, displays, autopilot, VHF and clear engine monitoring through the smart craft display. Docking is stress-free thanks to the bow and stern thrusters, and visibility all round is excellent.

A Light & Spacious Interior
Drop below decks and the Sea Ray 480 impresses again with its bright, open-plan feel. Large hull windows, a skylight overhead and careful use of timber finishes create an inviting saloon that feels far larger than many yachts in this size range.
To port, a full-size galley makes extended stays effortless, complete with Waeco refrigeration, a Kenyon cooktop, Panasonic microwave, and generous bench space. Opposite, a lounge and dining table offer a comfortable spot to relax indoors, and cleverly convert to an additional double berth when extra guests are on board.

Private Accommodation for Family & Friends
This Sundancer features one of the most versatile two-cabin, two-bathroom layouts in the market.
The forward master suite is a true retreat, complete with island berth, flat screen TV and a smart split-ensuite arrangement: to port, a head and vanity; to starboard, a separate full shower room. Both spaces are generously proportioned and give the owners a private feel more akin to larger yachts.
Aft, the guest cabin offers real flexibility with twin singles that slide together to create a full double berth. This space can be closed off for privacy and is served by its own ensuite with separate shower and vanity -- ideal for children, another couple, or even two additional adults.

Performance & Practical Systems
At the heart of the 480 Sundancer are twin Cummins QSC8.3 diesels delivering 540hp each. These well-proven engines are coupled to ZF gearboxes and straight shafts, providing reliable, simple and economical performance. Expect a fast cruise around 25 knots, with plenty of reserve power up to 28 knots at wide open throttle.
Ship's systems are equally robust: an Onan 9.5kVA generator provides power at anchor, and Cruisair air-conditioning with multiple zones keeps the entire vessel comfortable. Tankage is generous -- 1,438 litres of fuel, 416 litres of fresh water and 227 litres of black water -- giving true weekender range. Anchoring is made easy with a DC vertical windlass operated from the helm.

Entertainment is fully catered for with a Samsung flatscreen and Clarion audio system in the saloon, a Toshiba screen in the master, and a Fusion audio system in the cockpit.

From bow to stern, this Sundancer is filled with thoughtful touches and quality finishes that make life on board as effortless as it is enjoyable.
