Last Updated: 2026-07-27
ODYSSEY is an LLC Owned yacht that was purchased new by the current owner. The sale includes a lightly used 2021 Caribe 13'2" Center Console Tender with a 50 Hp Yamaha Outboard Engine.
The 1997 Navigator 53 Pilothouse Motor Yacht is a California-built raised-pilothouse yacht designed around a combination of liveaboard comfort, coastal cruising capability, and owner-operator simplicity. It is popular because it delivers a lot of interior volume and accommodations for its size.
The yacht has traditional pilothouse lines with a broad aft salon, elevated interior helm, and a large flybridge. One of its defining characteristics is its unusually spacious interior for a 53-foot yacht. The layout was designed to feel more like a waterfront condominium than a pure sport-cruiser.
Built on an easy riding modified V-Hull with a slender 15' beam, the three stateroom interior of the 53' Classic is arranged with the galley forward in the main salon and a U-Shaped dinette in the pilothouse. The full beam salon is spacious and very comfortable opening through double doors to a huge 100 + square foot cockpit. She features three comfortable staterooms and both head compartments have separate stall showers. Topside on the flybridge she has wrap-around seating that will seat a small crowd. Additional features include an integral swim platform, pilothouse deck access door, a spacious engine room and excellent helm visibility.
