Power at the Ready

Cruisers and motor yachts for sale are intended for extended offshore adventures, taking owners and guests to anywhere they want to be. The engines powering these massive vessels tend to have the more reliable inboard CAT motors. Some yachts do utilize gasoline inboards, though most of the configurations take advantages of diesel. Diesel engines integrated into the Motor Yacht Cruisers for sale have been used by boaters for generations and have proven to perform on the water better than gasoline. And while there is a bit of noise associated with the inboard motors, the containment room as well as mew technology and engineering have greatly reduced the volume exerted.

Accommodations

Motor yachts and cruisers typically have between 2 and 5 staterooms along with up to 5 full head compartments. Most vessels maintain a head compartment for each stateroom making it easy for all guests to maintain privacy while onboard. They utilize several different berths within the staterooms such as queen or full beds, single side by side beds or bunk style accommodations, and as for the bow stateroom, some even offer scissor berths that can slide together to create a full bed when necessary.

Not as common, though available on some models, is the aft cabin or the captain’s stateroom. Aft cabins are located behind the center console line of the stern. Captain’s staterooms are typically found adjoining the bridge. These configurations are offered on larger motor yachts.

Galley spaces are as versatile as the owner’s imagination. Galleys typically have everything needed for cooking onboard and maintain full sized equipment, compared to the smaller boats the typically have functional equipment in smaller sizes. Depending upon the Motor Yacht for sale, you may find that the materials include marble, slate, tweak wood, or mahogany.

A Crew

With the smaller cruisers, the use of a crew is simply unnecessary, but for the larger motor yachts for sale, crew quarters are an option. Layouts are typical designed in an aft cabin configuration, placing the crew at the back of the vessel. Common to motor yacht and cruisers, the crew quarters will be adjoining the stateroom.

Crewing your vessel depends upon the needs and the LOA of the vessel. To find out more about crewing and how to crew your motor yacht or cruiser, please see our article in Vessel Vendor for details.
