Broker Comments

The Sea Ray 450 Sundancer remains one of the finest cruising yachts Sea Ray ever designed.

Her 13'11" beam provides an interior volume that rivals many motor yachts while maintaining the sleek profile and exhilarating performance expected from a Sundancer. The deep-V hull delivers a confident ride offshore while the expansive cockpit comfortably entertains a crowd.

What makes Bearacuda especially appealing is the balance between thoughtful modernization and careful ownership. From the refreshed interior and updated helm to the custom salon seating and newer SeaDek, the current owners have focused on upgrades that genuinely improve the boating experience.

Whether you're planning weekends in Orange Beach, cruising the ICW, or simply enjoying sunsets in Pensacola Bay, Bearacuda is equally at home underway or entertaining at the dock.
