This C&L Marine Sea Ranger 59 offers the generous space and versatility of a larger yacht, combined with the practicality of a modern trawler—all without the hefty price tag of a new vessel.
Lovingly maintained and modernised over 28 years of ownership, this yacht features a robust solid fibreglass hull, a white GRP superstructure, teak-laid main decks, and a custom carbon fibre hardtop and swim platform. A 2023 structural survey confirms her excellent condition, with the report available upon request.
Powered by twin Detroit Diesel 8V71TA engines delivering 870 horsepower, she’s equipped with Wesmar hydraulic stabilisers and thrusters for stability and effortless manoeuvrability. Self-sufficiency is a standout feature, thanks to a Kohler 9kVA generator, ZF Marine electronic controls, a 1640W solar array, lithium batteries, and a Spectra Newport MkII watermaker, ensuring she’s ready for extended cruising without reliance on marinas.
Her interior is equally impressive, featuring tastefully updated ensuite cabins, a fully equipped galley, and a spacious saloon enhanced by a Bose Acoustimass sound system. Every detail has been designed with comfort and practicality in mind.
The C&L Marine Sea Ranger 59 delivers an unmatched combination of space, modern features, and self-sufficiency, making her an excellent choice for extended cruising or liveaboard adventures.
