2000 Silverton 453 Motor Yacht “Wine Down”

The Silverton 453 Motor Yacht redefined what buyers could expect from a 45-foot cruising yacht. Designed around Silverton’s innovative SideWalk® deck system, this model eliminates traditional side decks in favor of molded walkways from the flybridge, creating an expansive full-beam interior with the living space of many 50-foot motor yachts. Combined with a highly functional three-stateroom layout and dependable Cummins diesel power, the 453 remains one of Silverton’s most sought-after designs.

This vessel is powered by twin Cummins 4350-C 8.3L diesel engines producing 430 horsepower each, with approximately 950 original hours. The current owners have continued to maintain the boat with a major generator service completed upon their purchase in 2021, air conditioning serviced this season, and new batteries and battery charger recently installed.

The bright, open salon is surrounded by large windows that provide exceptional natural light and panoramic views. Just forward, the raised galley and dinette create a natural separation between living and dining spaces while opening the cabin to maximize sightlines and interior volume. Rich cherry joinery throughout the yacht gives the interior a warm, timeless feel.

Accommodations are exceptionally generous for a yacht of this size. The full-beam aft master stateroom features a walkaround queen berth, abundant storage, and a private en-suite head with a separate stall shower. The athwartships VIP stateroom to starboard rivals many master cabins found aboard comparable yachts, while a third guest cabin offers over-under single berths, built-in drawer storage, and a cedar-lined hanging locker. The VIP and guest cabin are served by a second head that also functions as the yacht’s day head, making the layout ideal for cruising with family and friends.

Outdoor living is equally impressive, with a spacious covered aft deck, an expansive flybridge offering excellent visibility and abundant guest seating, and a substantial aftermarket hydraulic swim platform that greatly enhances water access while providing an ideal platform for carrying a tender or personal watercraft.

Whether your plans include coastal cruising, extended vacations aboard, or comfortable liveaboard living, the Silverton 453 delivers an impressive combination of space, comfort, and proven diesel performance.
