1997 Navigator Sundance 5600

The Navigator Sundance 5600 is a 56-foot pilothouse yacht built with a wide-body design that maximizes interior space throughout. Twin Volvo TAMD72 diesel engines producing 450 horsepower each power the boat, with 2,600 hours logged. The fiberglass hull is engineered for efficient cruising; the boat records average fuel consumption of 4.5 gallons per hour when cruising at 8–10 knots, with capability for higher-speed sprints above 18 knots. The yacht displaces 48,000 pounds and carries 600 gallons of fuel capacity.

The accommodations center on a full-beam salon with expansive glazing on nearly all sides and high-gloss maple cabinetry. Rather than placing the galley in the main salon, it sits on the pilothouse level with a seven-person dinette opposite the helm, creating an unusually open living space. The master stateroom, accessed privately from the salon via curved stairs, features a centerline king bed, ensuite shower, and abundant storage. Two additional guest staterooms forward include one with upper and lower bunks, and the VIP cabin with a queen island bed; both have separate shower heads. Reverse-cycle heating and air-conditioning serves the salon, master, VIP cabin, and pilothouse. The yacht includes two helm stations—a lower wheelhouse position to starboard and an upper command bridge forward with wraparound seating for twelve guests.

Systems and equipment reflect extended cruising capability: a 13.5-kilowatt Kohler diesel genset, 600-gallon-per-day water maker, 400-watt solar panel array, 3-kilowatt sine wave inverter, and extensive battery banks. Navigation includes Furuno chartplotter and radar, Lowrance depth sounder with GPS, dual VHF radios, and B&G autopilot. Additional features include a 24-volt windlass and bow thruster, 850-pound davit crane for dinghy handling, central vacuum system, laundry, full galley with induction cooktop and convection oven, and underwater exhaust for the genset. The boat was professionally maintained and completed a survey in 2022 with no outstanding recommendations.
