OVERVIEW:

R-43 SEDAN

The R-43 Sedan is thoughtfully equipped with many innovative features that will make your life on the water stress free and fun like it’s supposed to be. Designed and built by hand in the USA, the R-43 S will turn heads and collect fans everywhere you go.

The heart of the R-43 Sedan is its spacious, light-filled salon; with a conversational layout and seating for 12, you’ll make a lifetime’s worth of memories with friends and family in this warm, inviting space. With two private staterooms, each with en suite head and shower, there’s plenty of room to comfortably entertain guests.

You’ll feel confident in all conditions with twin Volvo IPS drives, joystick driving and docking, and a state of the art 22” Garmin navigation suite with chartplotter, AIS, autopilot, and radar. Add even more control with available gyroscope stabilization, Sionyx pan and tilt thermal camera, and Dynamic Positioning.

Access to the R-43’s large, covered cockpit is safe and easy from any dock via the starboard dive door, or the locking transom doors leading from the oversized swim platform. An opening glass pass-through window connects the galley and cockpit, creating an open, social area for entertaining and gathering. An icemaker, sink, Fusion stereo control, and joystick docking station can also be found in the cockpit, along with innovate transom seats and tables that rotate into multiple configurations depending on your desired use.

Among many things, the R-43 Sedan is about comfort, seaworthiness, and having fun! With amenities like a full size washer and dryer, a spacious galley equipped with a 3-burner stove and oven, double basin sink, microwave, multiple refrigerators, butcher block and more, you can live and entertain just like you would at home. The expansive cockpit and command bridge allow you to host and play outside while never feeling crowded.
