Inside, SOUTHERN BELLE balances volume with practical flow. The main deck owner’s suite includes a full beam arrangement with his and hers bathrooms connected by a central shower. The guest cabins below comprise a VIP, one double, and one twin, each with en suite facilities. Large windows throughout the main salon draw in light and extend views, while finishes are designed for function and long term use.

Her exterior spaces are equally well considered. Wide walk-around side decks connect each area seamlessly. The aft deck offers dining and lounging space, while the flybridge, which is approximately 60 percent covered, features a helm station, bar, and seating for extended time outdoors. A hydraulic tender platform enhances sea access and supports tender operations, ensuring practicality at anchor or in port.

Performance comes from twin Caterpillar engines producing 1,550 hp each. She cruises comfortably at 12 to 15 knots and reaches a top speed of 18 knots. Fuel capacity of more than 3,000 gallons supports passages of over 500 nautical miles, while her semi displacement hull provides balance between speed and efficiency.

SOUTHERN BELLE combines established design pedigree, practical layout, and recent maintenance, making her a compelling opportunity in today’s market. With her size, volume, and operational readiness, she presents a well rounded acquisition for an owner seeking a capable yacht with immediate availability.
