NEW! Queen of the Show

The title of Queen of the Show is given to the largest boat in the show—and this year the crown goes to a 2012 Sea Ray 410 Sundancer on display at the Erwin Marine exhibit. This luxurious beauty lists for MSRP $815,659—and at the special discounted show price of $669,000 she can be yours.

The all-new 410 Sundancer is the very essence of a Sea Ray Sport Yacht. It is available in sport spoiler, open hardtop and enclosed hardtop versions, and can sleep six in a forward stateroom and convertible sofas in the salon and mid-berth. Two heads add convenience. A second stateroom with twin berths is available in place of the dinette. Zeus pod drives are optional.
