1988 Southern Cross 53 Pilothouse Motor Yacht | SEA FOX

This 53 ft. Southern Cross yacht is a classic and distinctive trawler-style yacht, most popular among long-range cruising enthusiasts. Built by Southern Cross Yachts in Australia and designed by Tom Fexas, this vessel feels more like a 60-foot yacht. Outstanding features to mention are its extended flybridge, spacious salon, with a galley and pilothouse on the main deck. The full-beam master stateroom has a California king bed and abundant storage. Re-powered in 2009 with Cummins QSC8.3 (600 hp) diesel engines, a new 20 KW Northern Lights generator, two new fuel tanks, a stand-up engine room, and a complete work room accessible prior to entering the engine room. It’s an outstanding use of space!
