Overview

About this vessel

REDUCED!! MOTIVATED SELLER - all reasonable offers considered!! This SPENCER 53 (extended 55) exclusively for Sale with DBY Boat Sales. If you are looking for an amazing, spacious, family friendly and well priced bluewater cruiser - this is the one! Thinking of cruising Australia or heading out to the Pacific, HYGGE II is lying in Pittwater, Sydney which is the perfect starting point for your cruising dreams. Don't miss out on this! She's been cruising safely and comfortably by her previous and current owners and their families and she's ready to go again. All kinds of upgrades including new standing rigging in 2018, chainplates, and electric halyard winches (so you do not have to leave the fully enclosed canvas cockpit to raise the sails). She's impressively rigged up to sail single handed.

She's had a ton of money spent on her in the last few years. The hull was peeled and epoxy barrier applied by a reputable yard (circa 2016). Genset, diesel heater and much more. HYGGE II is so much more than just another sailboat, she's a true world cruiser! She's already proven that she's capable from the history of extensive cruising, and she's ready for more. No expense spared on gear or upkeep, and it shows. The bottom was completely stripped, and an epoxy barrier coat was applied. All the portlights in the entire vessel were also replaced in the last seven years.

HYGGE II really does not need much of anything (except your belongings) to be able to go sailing today! She has a good amount of deck space to work with, and the extension the original owner had built some years ago, is a fantastic add on, making boarding from a dinghy a breeze, or getting off the back with your dive gear. It also makes it easy to be able to climb back aboard after a swim, snorkel or dive. Lots of the deck gear is custom built stainless and it is very heavy duty, just what a world cruiser needs!

The interior is gorgeous teak, and well laid out and there is full headroom throughout. The owner had the aft stateroom area remodelled some years ago, and they did a really nice job on the joinery. The aft or owners stateroom includes a private salon area, which includes the nav station, settee and desk. There is also an ensuite. There is a single berth midships alongside the engine room, which would be a great berth for a child. Up forward, the V-berth is quite large, and also has a full head and shower, which doubles as the day head for other guests. The salon is spacious, and the galley is to port, so entertaining is a breeze with the chef not being separate from the guests. A large custom salon table wraps around the mast, and has a centre locker for storage. This makes for a very family friendly cruising option.

The midship berth has been set up as a workshop with new toolboxes. The galley has a microwave, 2 x fridge/freezers and a 4 burner stove and oven. The engine room is large and comfortable (it will accommodate people well over six ft tall), and everything is located in a way that makes maintenance a breeze. Everything is well kept, and in good, clean, running condition.

HYGGE II is a spacious, sleek, and fast cruising boat, ready to take off on her next family cruising adventure with you aboard!! Come and make her yours today!
