🚤 Summary – Why This Yacht Stands Out

This is not your average 54 DS. With:

  • A fully replaced rig in marine-grade rod (rare at this age),

  • All teak and leather interior upgrades,

  • Top-end electronics and navigation systems,

  • A nearly new underwater profile (antifoul + Balsa waterline),

  • Low engine hours,

  • And constant upgrades from a dedicated single owner,

...this is one of the cleanest, best-equipped Sun Odyssey 54 DS models available today.
