Description
Discover incredible versatility, unmatched entertaining space, and true shallow-water freedom with this 1997 Bluewater Yachts 510. Renowned for their unique blend of motor yacht luxury and low-profile stability, Bluewater Yachts engineered this vessel with a Kevlar-reinforced bow and a built-in bow ladder designed explicitly for beaching. Boasting a remarkably shallow 30-inch draft, you can confidently explore hidden coves, sandbars, and skin-deep waterways that other 51-foot yachts simply cannot touch.
Whether you are looking for a spacious coastal cruiser, a weekend party platform, or a fully equipped liveaboard, this boat offers unmatched square footage and modern interior upgrades.
