Well-kept, well-equipped and ready for the water!

This is a smart example of the ever-popular Monterey 253 Explorer – a well-designed, spacious bowrider that’s equally suited to relaxed family days or watersports. Powered by a 350 MAG MerCruiser V8 (300HP), it delivers smooth, confident performance with plenty of power when needed.

The boat has been meticulously maintained and comes with a comprehensive service history – all receipts available. It’s clear from top to bottom that this one’s been looked after properly.

Recent upgrades and standout features include two fresh-water showers (one on the bow, one on the transom), a removable table that can be fitted in either the bow or cockpit, and a generous sunpad at the stern – perfect for lounging in the sun. The upholstery has also just been professionally redone, giving the boat a fresh, modern feel. There’s a private enclosed compartment with a porta-potty toilet for added convenience, and a removable Igloo coolbox on board to keep drinks and snacks chilled all day.
