About the Sea Ray L-Class

All about Sea Ray’s largest boat series

Sea Ray boats have more than 40 different models and more than 70 years of boat building experience. In 2014, the company introduced their newest series, the L-Class. These boats are luxury yachts starting at the 55’ length and increasing up to 65’.  The Sea Ray L-Class Yachts are offered in both the standard as well as the Fly models, giving more options to those seeking luxury on the water. If you are looking for a large vessel from a manufacturer who has established themselves as one of the top builders, then here is what you should know about the Sea Ray L-Class series yachts for sale.

The five principals of the L-Class

At the core of the Sea Ray L-Class boats are 5 principles.

The first is to have true performance in service of true luxury.

The second principle is that the design should have meaning. Just because something is popular with boating hull aesthetics does not mean that the design should have this feature. Sea Ray arranges the design to have both ergonomics as well as functionality and aesthetics.

The third principle is that the comfort should never be compromised. As the Sea Ray L-Class boats for sale are oriented to the luxurious and those seeking high comfort, this is critical. The company has used plush materials, and top of the line structural elements to ensure that the yacht feels as nice as they look.

Fourth, is that there are no little things. Every element of the design is treated as if it were a vital part of the design. This minimizes the risk of anything being faulty because it is assumed to be non-relative to the overall design.

The fifth principle is that true craftmanship endures. This means that the design needs to transcend the trends and the fads on the current market. The boat will last longer than a few years and so there needs to be a direct mix of skill and artistry as well as a focus on the endurance of the design.

Models Available

The L-Series from Sea Ray is offered in the Sea Ray L550, Sea Ray L550 Fly, Sea Ray L590, Sea Ray L590 Fly, Sea Ray L650, and the Sea Ray L650 Fly. With the sizes being over that of the towable (trailer tow) size. Potential buyers should take into account the storage and the docking of the Sea Ray L-Class yachts.

Cabin and console

The base models are designed to give the operator and the crew the feeling of being on a much larger luxury yacht then they actually are. Granted a 55 or 65 foot boat is nothing to snub your nose at, but the size is not comparable to the mega yachts. That being stated, the layout of the deck, controls, bows, and the stern have a middle aisle for access between points, seating is on the port and starboard around the console to maximize space and seating while at the stern the seating is designed more to the leisure lounge/party room design. In the Cabin, the space allotted is for at least 4 adults, though this number varies dependent upon the LOA. On the lower LOAs 2 bathrooms are available as well as the two large beds. Again, it is dependent upon the packages and the model chosen.

Where are the L-Class Boats best used?

Being that these Sea Ray boats get to be 65 feet, the best place to use these yachts are in the open water of the Atlantic or other seas. While you could use the vessel in the Gulf, it is really not made to do so. These craft are designed to get you from luxury destination to luxury destination in comfort and beauty. They are not really made to troll the Gulf. Should you wish to do so, consider docking in the keys.

The transportation and luxury design optimized in the Sea Ray L-Class  mainly due to the Twin Caterpillar 850 C12.9L In-Line 6, 4-stroke, Tier 3 Diesel Engines. They are state of the art power thrusting the Sea Ray L-Class across the seas. Yet, even with these engines, it is a combination of the dry weight (which on the Sea Ray 550 is only 57,800 lbs), the engines, as well as the fuel capacity (on the Sea Ray 550 its 580 gal).
