453 Motor Yacht

A distinctive, heavily built yacht with a high-freeboard profile, the Silverton 453 MY will appeal to boaters more concerned with a condo-style interior than styling aesthetics. What makes this boat so boxy is the same thing that makes her so spacious; replacing the walkaround side decks of most motor yachts, the 453 has molded staircases ascending to both sides of the flybridge—what Silverton called “SideWalks.” The result is a cavernous, full-beam interior whose dimensions rival those of a much larger yacht. Adding to the impression of space is a very innovative three-stateroom, two-head floorplan, a layout made possible by raising the galley and dinette forward of the salon. (An optional lower helm floorplan moved the galley into the salon.) Notably, the amidships VIP stateroom of the 453 is as big as the master stateroom aft. The entire interior is tastefully finished with rich cherrywood joinery. A wet bar is standard on the aft deck, and the flybridge has lounge seating aft of the helm. Additional features include a pilothouse deck door, large engine room, and standard hardtop. Twin 430hp Cummins diesels cruise the Silverton 453 MY at 18 knots (low 20s top).
