2016 Sea Ray 510 Sundancer Flybridge: Stylish Luxury

This 2016 Sea Ray 510 Sundancer Fly presented in Fort Lauderdale is a refined example of a mid‑size express cruiser that combines purposeful lines, comfortable living spaces and modern drivetrain technology. Offered at $649,500, the 51‑foot profile and a shallow 4‑foot draft make her a practical choice for both South Florida cruising and longer coastal passages; the vessel’s clean condition and meticulous maintenance history stand out immediately, as do the Zeus pod drives paired to robust Cummins QSC 600 powerplants.

The exterior styling of the 510 Sundancer Fly shows Sea Ray’s attention to proportion and sightlines: a low, sleek sheer with large windshield planes and a flybridge that reads as an extension of the cockpit for entertaining. At 51 feet overall, the boat balances deck space and marina practicality, and the shallow 4‑foot draft increases access to protected anchorages and many Florida marinas. Visually the yacht presents well, with teak cockpit accents and a hardtop profile that gives the boat an elevated, modern look without overpowering the deck layout.

Interior Layout and Accommodations for Comfort

Inside, the salon is bright and airy thanks to panoramic windows and a retractable sunroof that brings natural light into the main living area; the furniture arrangement creates distinct conversation and dining zones while preserving flow to the galley. The galley is equipped with premium appliances and thoughtful storage for provisioning extended cruises. Accommodations include two full staterooms with en‑suite heads plus an additional convertible sleeping area in the salon (consistent with the three‑cabin listing), allowing comfortable arrangements for owners, guests, and crew on weekend or overnight passages.

Cockpit, Deck Spaces and Entertainment Features

The cockpit is designed for socializing, featuring abundant seating, teak decking underfoot and direct access to the swim platform—ideal for tending lines, launching water toys or casual alfresco meals. The flybridge offers additional helm seating and guest lounges that expand usable entertaining space, while the foredeck and side decks give safe circulation for anchoring and docking. Overall the exterior spaces are arranged to support both relaxed day cruising and more formal entertaining, with finishes and layout choices that emphasize comfort and accessibility.

Propulsion, Performance and Zeus Pod Technology

Underway propulsion is handled by twin Cummins QSC 600 engines mated to Volvo‑Penta Zeus pod drives, a combination that delivers strong torque, efficient cruising and exceptional low‑speed control. The Zoe (Zeus) pod system improves handling in tight quarters and simplifies docking with joystick maneuvering, while the engine package provides reliable power for sustained coastal passages. The integration of pod drives also contributes to a comfortable motion and optimized fuel consumption when operated at typical cruising RPMs.

Electronics, Systems Upgrades and Onboard Amenities

The yacht is outfitted with a modern suite of navigation and electronics equipment, complemented by vessel systems that have been maintained to a high standard; electronics include integrated displays and reliable navigation tools suitable for recreational coastal use. HVAC, plumbing and domestic systems are presented in turnkey condition, and the interior entertainment components support both background audio in salon and cockpit areas and more engaged media use at anchor. Practical systems upgrades and regular servicing have been carried out to preserve operational reliability.

Essential Features and Private Viewing Invitation

This Sea Ray 510 Sundancer Fly presents a compelling package: a 2016 build with twin Cummins QSC 600s, Zeus pod drives for precise handling, a comfortable three‑cabin arrangement (two full staterooms with en‑suite heads plus convertible salon berth), versatile cockpit and flybridge entertaining areas, panoramic salon glazing with retractable sunroof, and careful maintenance that shows throughout the boat. Priced at $649,500 and located in Fort Lauderdale, she is well suited to owners seeking a capable express cruiser for regional cruising or extended weekend use.
