58 ft Sea Ray 2009

    Arguably the best yacht Sea Ray ever built the 580 Sundancer with twin 1,100-horsepower MAN diesels, a powerful upgrade from the standard 900-horsepower MANs (capable of 33-knot cruising speeds and 37-knot top speeds), plus a more powerful 21-kilowatt Onan generator for the 38,000-Btu cabin air handlers and 40,000-Btu bridge deck air handlers.
    Sea Ray’s designers gave the 580 Sundancer a wealth of outdoor relaxation spaces on the bridgedeck, from the built-in outdoor seating aft to the protected seats under the sculptural hardtop. At the helm, there are two fully adjustable chairs with armrests to starboard and a double companion bench seat to port. The semi-circular seating abaft the helm is really a pair of two-person benches with stowage in the fiberglass bases. Seats are mounted on a track so you can reposition benches to face forward or aft around a glossy circular table. The flexibility makes this feature great for entertaining. As for the hardtop with glass enclosure on three sides, it offers excellent views and is equipped with two independent, opening sunroof panels (with retractable sunshades) for more ventilation when desired. There’s also an isinglass panel that you can use to close off the aft end of the bridge when air conditioning is warranted.    This yacht was further enhanced with a hydraulic swim platform that’s great for water sports. A host of outdoor entertainment options include an outdoor grill, wet bar with refrigerator and freezer, and a large outdoor TV. There are an impressive number of stainless steel handrails for safety.    While the spacious outdoor living and entertaining areas of the 580 Sundancer are highly appealing, it’s the luxurious interior that’s really impressive. It is seven steps from the sliding acrylic cabin door to the luxurious salon below. High-gloss cherry cabinetry, Corian countertops, and stainless steel appliances dominate the U-shaped galley on the port side of the salon, with maplewood-planked floors tying the galley together with the comfortable dining area to starboard with Ultra-leather lounge.    The electrical panel is behind a frosted-glass door just to the right of the steps as you descend—easy to access. Wooden blinds offer privacy or lots of natural light through hullside windows on both sides of the salon. Headroom is roughly 6 feet 8 inches throughout the interior, adding to the sense of spaciousness that is usually found in much larger yachts. Those passengers seated on the starboard lounge can watch a large LCD television screen installed on the side of the bar along the centerline. A Bose Lifestyle sound system and media center enable the entertainment.    The galley has some notable features, including Vitrifrigo under-counter refrigerator and freezer units, a Whirlpool washer/dryer combo, a deep Kohler stainless steel sink with Hansa custom faucet, a recessed three-burner cooktop with overhead vent, and a convection/microwave oven. A prominent stainless steel handrail between the sink and the Vitrifrigo units makes preparing meals under way that much safer.    Solid cherry wood doors with a high-gloss finish lead to the guest stateroom forward and the master stateroom amidships. The master has a private head compartment while the forward stateroom has a private entry to the second head, which also serves as the dayhead with access for guests from the passageway.
    The guest stateroom features a queen-size island berth, and an overhead hatch for natural light and ventilation, plus a separate shower compartment with molded seat.
    Large in-hull windows bathe the master stateroom in natural light and provide outstanding views. Here again, the high-gloss cherry wood cabinetry is used lavishly around the queen-size island berth. A chest of drawers is built in to starboard, cedar-lined hanging lockers are to port and starboard, and there’s a small seating area to port with a table—just right for a private, late-night snack.
