NEW PHOTOGRAPHY!!!

EMPIRE SEA has been meticulously maintained by the same captain for the past 8 years with essentially no budgetary constraints. Recently, the yacht made a journey from Southern California through the Panama Canal, before heading to Florida for sale due to personal reasons. Over the past 8 years, the yacht has undergone annual shipyard maintenance, and the machinery has seen light use, with just under 6,000 hours on her Caterpillar main engines.

• Designed for long-range cruising
• Expansive, open deck spaces
• Equipped for fishing
