The Hallberg-Rassy 53 is one of the most iconic sailboats from the prestigious Swedish shipyard Hallberg-Rassy, recognized worldwide for its construction quality, safety, and comfort in offshore sailing. This specimen, designed and customized by the renowned German Frers, was built in 1994 and launched for the first time in 1996, with a hard-top included.
In 2023/2024/2025, it received a complete refit that presents it today in an impeccable condition (more information in this document), combining the solidity of a classic with the equipment and style of a modern yacht.
In 2024, it was purchased by its current and third owner. It has always been used privately, never for charter.
It has a Swedish flag and the EU VAT has been paid.
Until 2024, the boat remained 6 months a year out of the water and every year annual maintenance is performed, hence its great state of preservation and it is completely ready to sail.

EXTERIOROn the outside, it impresses with its elegant lines and its wide and clear deck. The central bathtub offers safety and comfort to the crew in any condition, while facilitating protected and ergonomic handling. Its side passages are wide and allow for comfortable transit to the bow, where maneuvering is favored by a balanced and robust rigging, designed for long voyages. The teak deck looks renewed after the refit, providing warmth and a timeless nautical aesthetic. The hardware, rigging, and maneuvering systems have been updated, ensuring efficient and safe operation. This model is known for its ocean navigation capability, and thanks to its length of over 16 meters, it conveys power, stability, and elegance in motion.

The interior reflects the essence of Hallberg-Rassy: a space warm, functional, and luxurious, designed to offer maximum comfort on long voyages. The satin mahogany carpentry, completely original, gives the
salon and cabins a cozy and sophisticated atmosphere. The layout takes advantage of the generous beam of the boat, offering a spacious central salon with a dining table and enveloping sofas, ideal for both relaxing and entertaining guests. The U-shaped kitchen is large and practical, equipped with modern appliances after the last renovation, ensuring comfort on board even during long stays. The boat has three cabins, including a master suite in the stern of considerable size, with a double bed, ample storage capacity, and a private bathroom. The guest cabins, located towards the bow, offer equally comfortable and elegant accommodation, with
refined finishes and natural ventilation.
