1993 Symbol Yacht Fisher/Motor Yacht

The Symbol 55 Yachtfisher is a 55-foot sedan bridge motor yacht with a graceful sheerline and refined profile. Powered by twin Caterpillar 3208 diesel engines producing 435 horsepower each, she reaches 18 knots at cruise and delivers economical operation at 11 knots displacement speed. Her solid fiberglass modified-V hull features 22 degrees of deadrise and pronounced lifting strakes for stability and a soft ride in challenging conditions.

The yacht accommodates three staterooms and two heads, finished throughout in warm Burmese teak with satin-finished interiors. The three-cabin layout places the galley and dinette below deck, with queen berths in both forward and aft staterooms. The main salon, designed without a lower helm, provides an open living space with two Ekornes Stressless recliners and a large L-shaped leather sofa, along with a 52-inch 4K television and professionally installed Magnolia Hi-Fi stereo system. The galley features a dual-door Samsung refrigerator, Empaya four-burner induction cooktop, Panasonic microwave, and commercial-grade Sarlai stainless-steel sink. A custom Wenge wood dinette with compass rose inlay seats four. Onboard comfort includes dual front-loading washers and dryers, a 60,000 BTU hydronic heating system, and Marine Air reverse-cycle air conditioning.

Navigation and electronics are comprehensive: dual Garmin and Furuno NavNet systems with dual radars, Furuno autopilot with satellite compass, dual VHF radios, twin multibeam fishing sounders, Garmin forward-looking sonar, FLIR infrared night-vision with ClearCruise software, and an AR200 augmented-reality sensor. Eight multifunction displays integrate all systems. The fully enclosed flybridge features a split-level hardtop with new canvas enclosure and thermostatically controlled defrosters. Eight solar panels and an 800 amp-hour battery bank support an 800-watt pure sine wave inverter and 12 kW generator.

Recent major work includes complete rebuilds of both diesel engines in late 2024 using genuine Caterpillar OEM parts and certified machine work; engines have 80 hours since rebuild. In 2023, running gear was removed and overhauled with new cutlass bearings and dripless shaft seals, and four-blade propellers were balanced and tuned. An 11 hp Side-Power bow thruster was installed with dual control stations on flybridge and sundeck. The deck is finished with new SeaDek synthetic teak on flybridge, sundeck, cockpit, and swim platform, with Awlgrip nonskid on side and fore decks. Ground tackle includes a Maxwell windlass, Rocna Vulcan 35 kg anchor, and 200 feet of 3/8-inch chain. A 12-foot AB inflatable tender with 30 hp Honda outboard is included, along with twin electric davits.
