Husumer Shipyard 53.5m 1982 (2019 Refit) Steel Displacement Yacht for Sale | 7+5 Cabins | Flensburg Germany

Overview
Built by Husumer Shipyard and launched in 1982, with a comprehensive refit completed in 2019, this 53.5-metre displacement motor yacht offers traditional German engineering principles, proven ocean-going capability, and strong structural integrity. Designed by Kroger Werft (naval architecture and exterior styling), she is constructed with a steel hull and aluminium superstructure, delivering durability, longevity, and seaworthiness suited to extended cruising and transoceanic passages.

Structure, Proportions & Classic Exterior Profile
With a gross tonnage of 453 GT, a 7.7m beam, and 2.7m draft, the yacht achieves impressive internal volume while maintaining efficient displacement cruising behaviour. Her displacement is stated at 446 tonnes, reinforcing robust build quality and a safety-first design philosophy. She spans three full decks with teak decking throughout, supporting classic yachting aesthetics and functional circulation. The exterior profile is defined by a sharp raked bow, elongated foredeck, high topsides, and a vertical stern—elements that contribute to both visual presence and enhanced internal volume. As a full displacement yacht, she offers predictable handling, reduced motion in open seas, and a stable platform for long-distance navigation and extended anchoring.

Engineering, Range & Operational Readiness

Twin-screw propulsion ensures redundancy and reliable manoeuvrability, while Jastram bow thrusters enhance low-speed handling and docking precision in confined ports. Engineering spaces are arranged to allow practical access to major machinery and service points, supporting ease of maintenance and transparent inspections. At-anchor stabilisers reduce roll during long stays in remote anchorages, enhancing guest comfort and onboard livability.

Accommodation supports up to 12 guests across seven ensuite cabins. A defining highlight is the owner’s suite on the upper deck featuring a king-size bed, private living room, and dedicated ensuite bathroom, forming a self-contained private residence with strong separation from guest and crew areas. The main deck hosts two spacious VIP double cabins with private ensuites. The lower deck completes the guest arrangement with two additional double cabins and two twin cabins, all designed for functionality, storage, and comfort. Interior styling focuses on classic proportions and durable finishes intended to remain timeless rather than trend-driven.

The main deck saloon features wood panelling and a dedicated bar area, connecting seamlessly to a formal dining space that can seat up to 18 guests across two large tables—an impressive arrangement for hosting, private events, or extended family gatherings. The upper deck includes an owner’s lounge with desk, seating, and bar cupboard, plus a commodore-style saloon with a round table and leather armchairs, reinforcing the yacht’s classic long-range character. The wheelhouse includes a chart table, navigation seating, and operational storage aligned with efficient passage-making.

Crew Areas & Service Support
Crew accommodation supports up to 12 crew across five cabins including a dedicated captain’s cabin. A crew mess with dining table and U-shaped seating supports crew welfare during long voyages, improving operational stability and long-term crew retention—an important factor for serious cruising programmes. Air-conditioning throughout and onboard Wi-Fi enhance comfort and usability for both guests and crew, while a fully equipped gym area adds lifestyle value for extended stays aboard.

Deck Space, Tender Handling & Practical Features
Exterior spaces across three decks provide multiple zones for dining, sunbathing, and observation, with circulation routes planned for both guest enjoyment and crew efficiency. Tender and equipment handling is supported by a hydraulic crane positioned on the upper deck aft, enabling safe launch and recovery operations.
