48 Sea Ray 480 Motoryacht

“The Sea Ray 480 is a throwback to the era of the classic flush- deck motor yachts that dominated the market during the 1970s and early 1980s. (Flush-deck yachts are distinguished by having the primary helm and aft deck on the same level.) Practical in design and more sociable than flybridge yachts, the 480 allows owner and guests to enjoy the ride together in the comfort and security of the protected aft deck.”  (Ed McKnew and Mark Parker, 2014 Power Boat Guide)
