520 Express

A spacious interior and an array of luxury appointments characterize the Cruisers 520 Express, a modern express yacht whose excellent performance compares well with most of her European counterparts. Built on a modified-V hull with a solid fiberglass bottom, the twin-stateroom floorplan of the 520 offers the comforts of a small motor yacht. In the salon, an opulent Ultraleather sectional with double recliners seats eight for cocktails, and the portside galley (which conceals an optional dishwasher) has a glass-encased liquor cabinet built into the end of the counter. The forward stateroom comes with either a queen or twin-berth layout, while the full-beam master stateroom enjoys excellent natural lighting thanks to the vertical ports installed on either side of the hull. On deck, the cockpit is dominated by a huge U-shaped lounge whose rear section pulls out from the transom to form a sun pad. Visibility from the helm is excellent, and an extended swim platform can carry a small inflatable. Additional features include cherry interior joinery, walk-through windshield, fender storage, windlass, and salon entertainment center. Volvo 715hp V-drive diesels reach 30+ knots top.
