1983 Sea Ranger 45 Motor YachtSold

Step aboard and you’ll feel how much volume this 45-footer really has. The wide side decks and solid railings make line handling and dockside life easy, even short-handed. Inside, the split-level layout gives you real separation between sleeping cabins and the main salon, so guests can turn in early while the evening carries on topside. The galley has the kind of storage and counter space that actually works for liveaboards or long weekends, not just quick snacks. Up top, the flybridge seating wraps around the helm, keeping everyone in the conversation underway. It’s the kind of boat where you can host a crowd, yet still find a quiet corner with a book and a view.

This Sea Ranger 45 is a natural fit for a busy harbor and nearby coastal cruising grounds. Its efficient twin diesels are well suited to long no-wake zones and leisurely day runs to anchorages just outside the breakwater. The semi-displacement hull offers a comfortable ride in afternoon chop while still being easy to maneuver in tight fairways. With two true staterooms and generous outdoor living areas, it works equally well as a primary floating home or a weekend retreat tucked into a marina slip. Plenty of storage and tankage mean you can stay off the dock for days, exploring local coves without feeling constrained by space or supplies.
