2005 SYMBOL 68 PILOTHOUSE (Refit in 2018 and 2021)
Currently cruising in the Abacos, Bahamas
This second owner never chartered motor yacht is so easy to handle a couple can sail her without crew.  The Symbol 68 Pilothouse by naval architect Jack Sarin, world- renowned designer of Westport Yachts, West Bay SonShip, Crescent, and other well-known motor yachts.

The interior is gorgeous satin cherry wood with granite countertops and neutral carpet & fabrics.  The layout features three full cabins with two en-suite heads. A spacious aft deck, fully covered wide side decks, and a comfortable bow sun pad makes this a truly versatile cruiser.

The flybridge is a large covered area with dual helm seats, a dinette and a boat deck for the tender.  This vessel has been flawlessly maintained to the highest standards.

Large viewing windows are found on the main deck and stainless steel opening port lights provide natural light in the staterooms. Cabinet pulls, door hardware and plumbing fixtures are satin-finished brass. All stateroom closets are cedar-lined and storage is maximized.

The Salon is spacious, featuring a 10' L-shaped, fabric covered sofa, an easy chair and a hi-lo table with inlaid wood top.

Drains, sumps and bilges are connected to a common manifold FRP tube which runs lengthwise down each side and discharges under the swim platform. Main exhausts are the underwater type with stern bypasses. Air intakes (E/R) and fuel vents are mounted inside on the walk-around side decks. The Aft Deck is sizeable and highlighted by the previously mentioned built-in stairway to the Flybridge. The Lazarette can be accessed by means of a large deck hatch. It offers convenient contact with the heavy-duty, all stainless steel steering gear and provides plenty of storage.
The transom door opens to an integral Swim Platform with concealed swim ladder. The main and forward decking is covered with molded pyramid non-skid. The wide walk-around side decks are covered. All deck rails and fittings are top quality polished 316-grade stainless steel. The Foredeck houses dual anchor hatches and an anchor pulpit.
