Van De Stadt Gallant 53 Outstanding Ocean-Going Cruiser

How a home on the water should look and feel. This charming Van de Stadt Gallant 53 is a must-see world cruiser.

This attractive liveaboard is immaculately maintained and well-laid out. She is fully set-up for cruising with a full electric suite, good-condition sails, and recently re-done rigging.

The galley includes a chart table and extra sitting area. The cozy salon is separate with a seating area and table. There is a short hallway with a bunk and extra clothes storage, a separate twin bunk cabin with a sink, and a comfortable V-berth master cabin. The woodwork is beautiful.

The comfortable cockpit & large open decks extends the living area with a big sun awning and drop downs.
