Overview
About this vessel
The Trader 535 Sunliner ticks all the boxes for those looking for a spacious and comfortable motor cruiser that you will simply enjoy owning.
The layout of 'Serenity' includes three large cabins, two bathrooms, a massive fully enclosed raised aft entertaining deck, a large flybridge with loads of comfortable seating, a luxurious saloon, a practical galley and a wide foredeck — just perfect for cruising the coast or living aboard.
Exterior
The practical design ethos shown in the range of semi-displacement Trader motor yachts is one of simple on-water enjoyment. Designed in the U.K. and built in Taiwan, this Trader 535 model is valued by her owners for her exceptional liveaboard comfort, spaciousness and seaworthiness, all in a manageable package.
The Trader blends trawler-like qualities such as a sturdy build and efficient cruising with spacious amenities, making it ideal for extended cruising or full-time living aboard by a couple or a small family.
As you step on board via the swim platform and enter the large covered aft deck, you'll see that this area is perfect for entertaining. It's a stone's throw from the flybridge or the saloon and not far from the galley.
The safe wide side decks lead you forward to the foredeck entertaining area, where, on Serenity, you'll find a wide sunlounge area that can be covered with the new shade sail that the current owners had made. They've even installed a video projector and screen out there for movies under the stars.
The flybridge is a very social area for congregating with the skipper, with wraparound seating and protection from the sun under the bimini, and it's only a few steps from the aft deck.
Interior
As you move into the spacious saloon area, you'll notice how bright and spacious it feels. The current owners have completed a substantial interior refit to capitalise on the high-quality timber joinery, with new upholstery, carpets, blinds and curtains.
The lower helm station is located unobtrusively in the forward starboard corner, with a pilot door offering ease of access to the side deck. Under the helm seat there's a second fridge installed, providing extra refrigeration space in addition to the galley.
Moving toward the stern of the boat and stepping down, you'll find the large galley with domestic-style appliances including a near-full-size fridge freezer, cooktop and oven. There's also a microwave and loads of storage, plus a washing machine.
On this lower level you'll find the full-beam master cabin with island bed and ensuite bathroom. This is your air-conditioned haven away from the elements for the perfect night's sleep. It features a large amount of storage with hanging space, an office-style desk and room to easily move around the bed.
At the opposite end of the boat, separated by the saloon and galley, is where you'll find the forward VIP cabin (it's a second master, actually). You'll also find the third cabin with twin single beds and another spacious bathroom. This one acts as an ensuite to the VIP cabin and does double duty as the day head.
Hull and Engineering
As a semi-displacement hull design, you'll experience comfortable, stable cruising around 9–13 knots, offering efficient fuel economy and good range. Serenity has been built with twin Caterpillar 435 hp shaft-drive diesels, which will offer a top speed of around 21 knots if required.
Each of the helm stations enjoys modern electronics with a Simrad plotter/sounder/radar suite.
From a tankage standpoint, Serenity enjoys over two and a half thousand litres of diesel and nearly a thousand litres of water storage. This offers good range at cruising speed and the ability to stay away from the marina for a substantial time.
She has been well-maintained and has had loads of improvements done by her current owners. Serenity will serve you very well from the day you take ownership. Other owners of the Trader 535 design report comfortable long-distance passages and practical liveaboard use in a variety of conditions and locations.
Designed for practical enjoyment, you'll feel comfortable knowing how well this boat's been looked after, and that means you won't hesitate to go boating. There's so much more to show you, so why not come and have a look?
