This 2001 Sea Ray 540 Sundancer comes from an owner who believed a boat should always be ready to go — whether for a weekend cruise or a spontaneous morning run across the sound. He maintained this 540 to be turn-key at all times, keeping every system serviced, updated, and dependable so he could use the boat whenever the mood struck. From afternoon harbor cruises to longer coastal trips, this Sundancer was enjoyed regularly and cared for consistently, resulting in a yacht that feels confident, reliable, and ready for her next owner to enjoy the same way.
