1987 Symbol 51 Motor Yacht (Seller Wants Sold)

FOR SALE: 1987 Symbol 51 Motor Yacht – Classic Power, Proven Performance, Zero Apologies

This isn’t your average marina queen — this is a 1987 Symbol 51, built when yachts were overengineered to outlast trends, tides, and time itself. With just 2000 hours on its powerful diesel engines, this beast isn’t tired — it’s broken in and ready to run.

At 51 feet, you’re not just stepping onto a yacht — you’re stepping into a legacy of offshore capability and rugged elegance. Forget plastic-fantastic boats built last year that squeak under pressure. This Symbol was laid up when fiberglass was thick, woodwork was real, and systems were designed to be used, not just admired.

You want space? You’ve got it. You want a liveaboard, a cruiser, a long-range battlewagon? Done. The Symbol 51 delivers with a smart layout, wide beam, and engine room access that doesn’t require yoga poses. The diesel setup gives you reliability and range, sipping fuel like a pro while pushing you through open water like it owns the ocean.

Don’t let the year fool you — this isn’t “old.” It’s seasoned. It’s experienced. And it will outlast whatever soft-glass, overhyped plastic palace they’re building this year.

Looking for a yacht that makes a statement? This is it.

Bring your offer. Bring your courage. Bring your sea legs. The Symbol 51 is waiting.
