2004 Hallberg-Rassy 53

This 2004 Hallberg-Rassy 53 was built as a family cruising yacht designed for extended offshore passages and independent living. The boat carries over 1,000 liters of water tank capacity and benefits from a high-capacity water maker for daily replenishment. Fuel capacity has been expanded with an additional 300-liter tank. Battery systems are substantial with excellent charging capability. A 145 hp Volvo Penta diesel engine powers the yacht.

The design prioritizes short-handed operation through powered winches and furling systems controllable from the helm, following Hallberg-Rassy's push-button sailing concept. A stern thruster, added recently, aids maneuvering in confined spaces. The boat has three cabins and two heads arranged for comfortable cruising accommodations.

Recent maintenance and upgrades include new sails, standing rigging, genset replacement, new batteries, stern thruster installation, and updated communication and navigation systems fitted in 2026. The yacht spent early seasons cruising the Caribbean before establishing a cruising pattern throughout northern Europe. She is hull number 80 of 88 Hallberg-Rassy 53s produced, making her one of the final examples of this model line. The boat is UK VAT paid.
