motoryacht 415

2007 Cruisers 415 Express Motoryacht

"prestige worldwide", description.

 Prestige Worldwide is a wonderful example of a well maintained Cruisers 415 aft cabin MY. She has just returned from a recent visit to the yard, where her bottom paint was renewed, both main engines and the generator were serviced and new underwater lights were installed in April 2024.

 When you board Prestige Worldwide from her expansive swim platform, it is just a few steps up on her molded in fiberglass stairway, to the aft deck. The aft deck has newer polycarbonate side curtains, completing the enclosure under her factory hard top. This allows the aft deck to be enclosed for use of the optional air conditioning and heating system! Also included with this enclosure are privacy curtains, that easily mount on the inside, to keep the sun out and also add a high level of privacy!

 You will also be instantly impressed by complete new upholstery on all cushions and seat backs, they are spotless! The current owner has also had new, removable carpet flooring installed in this area as well. There is also a wet bar here with refrigerator and storage, for entertaining your friends and guests.

 Audio entertainment is also provided by a high end Fusion, multi zone stereo system, with remote hub control at the helm. Lighting is provided by LED courtesy lights at floor level or tri color ceiling LED lights to set the appropriate mood for the party!

 The helm area has a newer electronic binnacle control for the twin Yanmar Diesel engines, that also featuring dual digital engine displays, allowing you to source a wide variety of engine parameters and data. There is plenty of life left in these optional premium motors, as they each have under 600 hours! Navigation is made simple with dual Raymarine chart plotters, there is an E120 as well as an E80. Complimenting these are Raymarine autopilot and radar, all in one integrated package. For communication there is a fixed VHF radio and two Cobra hand held VHF radios. Should your plans include navigating at night, there is also a bow mounted, remote control Jabsco spot light.

 Cruising trim and balance is easily controlled by Bennet trim tabs, and docking is a sinch with the newer bow thruster! Leaving the dock is also made easier with the 50 AMP single cable Glendinning retrieval system that also comes with a wireless remote control. When you leave the dock, should you wish to enjoy the comforts of air conditioning, etc., just fire up the 11.5KW Onan diesel gen set, featuring 1228 hours on it.

 Moving down through the sliding door several steps you arrive in the bright spacious salon. Immediately to port is a FlexSteel L shaped sofa with built in recliners. To starboard is a dinette area that easily seats 4 adults, making meal time or game night a piece of cake to set up for! Immediately abaft the dinette is the Galley. This area features a two burner glass top cooking surface, a combination microwave/convection oven, a full size refrigerator, also featuring plenty of storage for the gourmet chef. Immediately above the refrigerator is a large cabinet with a Samsung smart TV, flush mounted to the cabinet door. TV reception, weather at the marina or offshore, is provided by the Intellion satellite TV dish!

 Snap in carpet runners are also thoughtfully installed in all high traffic areas to protect the surface from sandy feet! There is also a built in Broan central vacuum system making clean up a snap!

 Moving forward down a few steps from the salon you will enter into a small hall area, to port are several opening cabinets for storage, to starboard is the head area featuring a Vacuflush head as well as a tank level monitor. 

 Moving forward from here you enter the VIP cabin featuring an island queen berth. There are steps on either side of the bed for ease of entrance. There are also individual reading lights that are bulkhead mounted. Surrounding the bed are an assortment of cabinets for plenty of storage options as well as a large hanging locker. There is an LG flat panel TV mounted for easy viewing while relaxing on or in bed as well as a stereo. Just aft of the entrance door on the port side of this cabin is a private shower enclosure. This is a very nice feature allowing day use of the head, located immediately outside of this cabin, and also accessed with a private door, while also having private access the the shower compartment from the cabin proper! And as expected, there are plenty of opening port holes and hatches for those days when you prefer a breeze instead of the individually controlled AC system.

 From the salon area moving aft on the port side, you will see a cabinet that houses the AC and DC control panels. Also located in here are the remote start controls for the generator. 

 Going down a few more stairs brings you to a very comfortable Master Stateroom. There is a full size, regular queen mattress on the bed allowing you to purchase those regular size designer linens, without paying a premium to have them tailored to fit an unusual mattress size! Entertainment in this area is provided by a wall mounted Samsung smart TV and built in speakers from the sound system. There is a private ensuite head to starboard with a separate shower enclosure within. You will find plenty of storage space here as well with many cabinets, as well as hanging lockers. One of the most impressive features in this cabin is, immediately abaft the starboard side head area, is a built in Splendide washer/dryer. Making longer trips manageable by having the ability to do your own laundry!!

 For the sun lovers in the family, there are two large cushions that attach to the front deck creating a very large, comfortable sun lounge area!

 Lets face it, this boat has everything anyone could possibly ask for in a 40 foot envelope. It is serviced and ready to carry its new owners to their next adventure!

Opinions of a Cruisers Yachts 415 Express

I guess this is the right forum for this.... I have been looking at some ads for Cruisers Yachts 415 Express 41' and would really like to hear from others that know much about the boat, or actually own the boat. Any information is desired, good or bad. Thanks.

Don't know about that boat/model, but I've known folks who had Cruisers boats and they liked them. FYI, ref your thread title, there's a difference between their "Express" and their "Express Motoryacht" models... and I think you're asking about the Express Motoryacht, perhaps like the one listed on YW in New Bern? If so... to your questions in the other thread, note the Propulsions section says "Volvo D6" (not IPS) and "Direct Drive" (not pods)... so that's one way to tell whether straight shafts or pods. Pros/cons for each. Can't tell about whether it has thrusters or not. I'd guess the 370-hp engines would be the entry-level ones, if Cruisers offered optional upgrades. Might be fine, depending on gearing. D6's have an OK rep, far as I know., and 985 hours isn't huge. Engine condition is very much driven by maintenance, though... so a neglected diesel with985 hours might not be as good a choice as a very well cared for diesel with 2500 hours (both assuming appropriate for the boat). All that aside... what do you like about the boat? What attracts you to it? -Chris

If you look at a full range of boats by Cruisers (for example), their "two story" boats are motoryachts and the "ranchers" are express boats. Cruisers just happens to use the word "express" for both, perhaps to suggest speed or something. Sea Ray Sundancers are express boats. Sea Ray motoryachts mostly look like basketball shoes. Then there are sportfishers/convertibles, sedan bridges/sport bridges, "trawlers," down east boats, etc... Et cetera. Each with typical features for the class... but the descriptive terms aren't hard and fast, makers play fast and loose with the dictionary... A common practice is to make an offer -- subject to some important stuff like marine survey. mechanical (engines & genset) survey, sea trial -- and during that process you can learn about engine condition and maintenance... or not. Recently I added "successful maintenance records review" as an additional "subject to" and that helped -- since I could do that review before spending money on the rest of it. So one of your requirements is comfort for 4 people, plus maybe a couple of kids. Good. (There are likely a bazillion boats that might do that.) Another requirement is "not huge" -- a little squishy, but also good. (Another bazillion, although significant overlap with the first requirement.) Easy for docking, ditto. I dunno about how that particular boat might be for docking, but I've seen some Cruisers motoryachts like that at various docks and I don't remember their side decks being anything to write home about. Also, it's typical for a "motoryacht" of some persuasion to have the helm mounted forward on the flying bridge... which in turn means good visibility forward... but also docking stern-to might be more difficult because of poor visibility astern. Compare to most sportfish/convertible styles where the helm is more often mounted aft on the flying bridge and visibility astern is usually very good. The issue is not unsolvable (including back-up cameras, etc.) but an example of pros/cons associated with various styles. Still, that one would probably need an in-person look to think about docking... although actual owners might pipe up. But it's a good example of where looking at boats up close and personal becomes necessary to get first-hand impressions. IOW, ads and the Powerboat Guide (or similar) or even fora like this one can only go so far... Back to features: What kind of "4 people"? Two couples? (Two full/queen mattresses nice.) One couple and two singles? (One full queen mattress and two twins or bunks could work.) What kind of "maybe a couple of extra kids?" Same gender, or not? Tiny, or mid-size, or...? (Twins or bunks or pull-outs could work.) How would you use the boat? Dock condo? Marina hopping? Anchoring out? Long distance travel? Some kind of mixture of some of those? All this, just examples of drilling down into requirements to maybe better refine your needs. Partly because it's usually much easier to solve problems of various sorts (space, capacity, ease of boarding, ease of docking, etc.) during the shopping phase. Yes, you can usually add a stern thruster. Be aware, bow thrusters and stern thrusters can fail (as can pretty much anything on a boat)... so a common suggestion is to learn to maneuver the boat without the extras. -Chris

Everybody's gotta start somewhere, and it's not like many of us were born knowing boat stuff. USCG Aux offers a decent course. The Waterway Guide and the ActiveCaptain app can show you information about marinas and common anchorages along the ICW. Ref rattling: yes, you can solve a lot during your shopping phase. And then you'll have it pretty close to "right" when you get to your third boat. Now that you have a feel for why the C415 might work, try two exercises: 1) find every similar boat and review the pros and cons of each compared to the C415 2) find significantly dissimilar boats and do the same kind of review. For example 1, Carver or or Silverton or Sea Ray or et cetera also make/made motoryachts. (several with open party decks) so have a look at those and compare features one by one. For example 2, find something like a sedan bridge or sport bridge boat of whatever useful size, and check out features compared to the C415. The Powerboat Guide might be a useful tool; the softcopy version is keyword searchable. It'd also be useful to walk the docks and just look at boats. From where you are, Barefoot. Grand Dunes, and Osprey Marinas, plus Southport and South Haven Harbour Marinas could give you a chance to see a lot of boats in person... maybe get a feel for what appeals... and what doesn't. Boat owners are usually happy to answer questions about their ride... -Chris

I don't think there's any difference in the 46 and 460, in fact I don't see any 460 in Power Boat Guide. See if you can get a copy of Power Boat Guide, by Mcknew & Parker, it will help you greatly in your search.

I looked on Amazon for Power Boat Guide and there are issues for several years. Would it make sense to get a current issue when I'm only looking at boats a few years old?? Also, some are listed as "Broker Editions". That doesn't sound like what I want, but I could be wrong???

Jytek said: ↑ I started looking at some Carver boats and think they might fit us even better. Thanks for steering me in that direction. I'm having trouble knowing the difference in the models, however. They have Carver 46, 460, 45, & 450. What are the differences??? Click to expand...

Kursk incursion boosts Ukrainian morale after grim year

For Kyiv-area resident Olha Pavlovska, who huddles with her neighbours every week to discuss the often grim news from the front, Ukraine's shock incursion into Russia's Kursk region this month offered a rare moment of hope.
