Our Thoughts

SEEWORTHY III is a 2021 HCB 53, a sophisticated 53-foot center console yacht that successfully merges high-performance capability with genuine overnight cruising comfort. This single-owner vessel has been meticulously maintained under full-time captain care and stored on a private lift, representing the thoughtful stewardship that defines responsible yacht ownership.

The HCB 53 platform is purpose-built for owners who refuse to compromise between speed, seakeeping, and livability. At 13 feet of beam and 33,000 pounds, the hull delivers the ride quality and stability expected from a serious offshore center console, while the 22-degree transom deadrise and intelligent weight distribution support confident operation in variable conditions. The dual-purpose bow layout exemplifies the design philosophy: forward-facing loungers and convertible seating accommodate social cruising, while the removable cushions reveal a fully functional fishing platform for serious anglers. The integrated bow table with power lift and filler cushion transforms the space into a comfortable gathering area for idle afternoons.

The cabin is genuinely livable for extended trips. A queen-sized berth, full galley with refrigerator and microwave, enclosed head with shower, and solid hardwood cabinetry create an air-conditioned refuge that elevates the experience well beyond typical center console offerings. The PermaTeek flooring in the helm and cabin areas balances aesthetics with practical durability, while the integrated freshwater cockpit shower adds convenience for extended days on the water.

Propulsion and Performance

Four Yamaha 425-horsepower outboard engines power the 53, with just 387 logged hours—a testament to the measured use this vessel has enjoyed. The quad Yamaha configuration provides redundancy, efficiency, and the responsiveness expected from modern four-stroke technology. HelmMaster joystick steering with Yamaha Set Point integration simplifies single-operator control, whether docking in tight quarters or maintaining station while fishing. Trim tabs with dual hydraulic rams and a bow thruster round out the maneuvering suite.

A 7.6-kilowatt Westerbeke diesel generator with dedicated 26-gallon fuel tank ensures comfortable air conditioning and galley operation during extended anchoring, while the 1,000-gallon fuel capacity and 58-gallon freshwater capacity support serious cruising range. The integrated dry bilge system and insulated deck lids with rubber gaskets reflect attention to systems that matter in real-world operation.

Fishing and Outdoor Capability

The cockpit is comprehensively equipped for serious fishing. Dual Frigid Rigid livewells at 60 gallons each maintain baitfish condition throughout the day. Port and starboard fish boxes with 150-gallon capacity each provide ample storage for the catch. A refrigerated chill plate system, rigging table with rod holders, and a rear-facing mezzanine seat with fold-out tackle storage create an organized, efficient working environment. Carbon fiber telescoping outriggers and an electric reel outlet support offshore applications. The transom sleigh seat incorporates a 30-gallon baitwell for additional convenience.

The summer kitchen—featuring dual stainless steel sinks, a grill, refrigerator, and storage—serves as the outdoor hub for extended days at anchor or in a home port. Gunwale-mounted coolers (two port, two starboard) and forward console coolers keep provisions accessible. Fresh and raw water washdown systems with retractable hose reels and quick-connect bow and stern connections simplify cleanup and deck maintenance.

2021 HCB 53 Center Console Yacht for Sale – See Worthy III
Overview
The 2021 HCB 53 "See Worthy III" represents a rare opportunity to own a sophisticated, single-owner center console yacht engineered for serious offshore cruising, fishing, and entertainment. Powered by quad Yamaha 425-horsepower outboards and maintained under full-time captain care with lift storage, this 53-foot vessel combines the speed and maneuverability of a performance center console with the comfort and accommodation features traditionally found in larger cruising yachts. With 387 hours on the engines, a comprehensive suite of Garmin electronics, Seakeeper 6 stabilization, and a well-appointed cabin with overnight accommodations, the HCB 53 delivers versatility for owners who demand luxury, capability, and reliability in a single platform. Positioned in Fort Myers, Florida, this vessel has been meticulously maintained and is offered with a full complement of premium options and upgrades that enhance fishing functionality, entertainment capacity, and onboard comfort. The HCB 53 design philosophy prioritizes balance—delivering the performance and agility required for offshore fishing while maintaining the seaworthiness, interior refinement, and social spaces expected of a true cruising yacht.
Design and Hull Characteristics
HCB's Sueños RXV platform (the 53-foot model) is built on a deep-V hull design with a 22-degree deadrise at the transom, engineered to deliver a confident ride in varied sea conditions while maintaining the shallow-draft capability center console operators expect. At 53 feet overall with a 13-foot beam, the vessel achieves a balanced profile that supports both stability at rest and responsive handling underway. The hull is finished in navy blue gelcoat, complemented by a custom-painted hardtop frame in matching navy, creating a cohesive, professional aesthetic. The design philosophy emphasizes functional versatility. The bow area serves dual purposes—configured with forward-facing loungers and surrounding bow seating with a power-lift fiberglass table that converts to a large sun pad for relaxed cruising, or cleared for a fully functional fishing platform when the situation demands. This flexibility is a hallmark of the HCB 53, allowing owners to transition from entertaining guests to serious fishing without structural compromise. Dive doors on the port and starboard sides open inward, enabling water access and boarding while docked—a feature that enhances both safety and operational convenience.
Layout and Deck Design
The HCB 53 organizes its 53 feet into distinct functional zones that support fishing, entertaining, cruising, and overnight stays without sacrificing comfort or space. The helm area features triple captain's chairs with swivel pedestals and teak ladder backs, positioned for optimal visibility and control. The helm floor is finished in PermaTeek, providing durability and traction in a marine environment. Above the helm, a custom-painted hardtop with integrated windshield, D-tubing construction, spreader lights, rod holders, and molded rain gutters provides weather protection and structural support for electronics and lighting. The cockpit is the social and functional heart of the vessel. A rear-facing mezzanine seating area includes two refrigerators, one freezer, fold-out tackle storage, and dual sinks—effectively functioning as a full summer kitchen station. This configuration allows guests to gather aft while the boat is at rest or moving at displacement speeds, and it provides immediate access to cold storage and food preparation. A transom sleigh seat with a 30-gallon baitwell integrates additional seating with practical fishing functionality. The cockpit counter top is finished in high-gloss teak with a canvas cover, adding both aesthetic refinement and weather protection. The bow area features dual Frigid Rigid livewells with 60-gallon capacity each, positioned for convenient live bait management during fishing operations. Port and starboard aft cockpit fish boxes provide 150 gallons of insulated storage each, with refrigerated chill plates for extended preservation of the catch. A forward console cooler (Frigid Rigid, 54 gallons) and four gunwale-mounted coolers (two port, two starboard) provide flexible storage options throughout the vessel. SeaDek non-skid coating covers high-traffic areas, enhancing safety and comfort. Stainless steel bow rails, spreader lights, and an ACR spotlight with dash-mounted control and wireless remote complete the deck package. Dual hydraulic trim tabs with polished stainless steel construction support precise attitude control across a range of sea states and loading conditions.
Helm and Electronics
The HCB 53 is equipped with a comprehensive, integrated Garmin electronics suite that supports navigation, fishing, and vessel management with confidence. The helm features a 22-inch Garmin center display flanked by two 17-inch Garmin side screens, all water-resistant and positioned for optimal visibility. An aft-facing 16-inch Garmin screen provides additional situational awareness and system monitoring from the second helm position. Sounder capability includes a Garmin GSD 26 sounder module paired with dual 1kW Garmin Airmar B175H hi/low chirp transducers, delivering detailed bottom mapping, fish-finding capability, and water column data essential for offshore fishing. A 4-foot, 4kW Garmin open array radar supports all-weather navigation and situational awareness. Garmin autopilot and VHF radio complete the navigation and communication suite, while HelmMaster steering with joystick control—integrated with the quad Yamaha engine configuration—provides intuitive, responsive vessel handling in close quarters and at low speeds. Yamaha Set Point system integration allows synchronized control of all four outboards, simplifying trim, tilt, and engine management. The joystick system reduces operator fatigue and improves precision during docking, anchoring, and low-speed maneuvering.
Power and Propulsion
The quad Yamaha 425-horsepower outboard configuration delivers 1,700 total horsepower, providing the acceleration, top-end speed, and fuel efficiency expected of modern offshore center consoles. With 387 hours on the engines, the power plant remains well within the early service lifecycle. Outboard propulsion offers several operational advantages: shallow-draft capability (32 inches with engines trimmed up, 44 inches with engines down), simplified maintenance, and the ability to tilt engines completely clear of the water for beach landings or shallow-water exploration. A 7.6 kW Westerbeke diesel generator with a 26-gallon fuel tank supports air conditioning, refrigeration, entertainment systems, and onboard amenities during anchored or docked operation without running the main engines. The 1,000-gallon fuel capacity supports extended cruising and offshore operations, while the 58-gallon freshwater system provides adequate supply for galley, head, and shower use during typical cruising patterns.
Fishing Features and Offshore Capability
The HCB 53 is purpose-built for serious offshore fishing while maintaining the comfort and accommodation features required for extended trips. The dual 60-gallon Frigid Rigid livewells (port and starboard, forward) provide ample capacity for live bait management, with reliable mechanical systems for water circulation and temperature control. The 150-gallon fish boxes (port and starboard aft) with refrigerated chill plates preserve the catch in excellent condition, with capacity sufficient for multi-day offshore operations. A rocket launcher with ceramic-coated finish mounted on the hardtop accommodates multiple fishing rods, keeping tackle organized and accessible. Carbon-fiber telescoping outriggers extend the vessel's trolling spread, enabling effective coverage of a wider area when targeting pelagic species. Electric reel outlets provide power for electric fishing reels, reducing operator fatigue during deep-water or extended-duration fishing. A rigging table with rod holder organization supports tackle preparation, line maintenance, and equipment setup. The bow fishing platform configuration—created by removing cushions from the bow loungers—provides a stable, elevated vantage point for sight-casting, live-baiting, or sight-fishing operations. The forward console cooler (54 gallons) provides convenient access to chilled beverages and supplies during fishing operations.
Cabin and Interior Accommodations
The HCB 53 cabin is a fully appointed, air-conditioned retreat that transforms the vessel from a day-boat into a genuine cruising platform capable of overnight and extended trips. The cabin features a queen-sized berth with comfortable sleeping accommodations, real teak flooring with white or black accent lines, and solid hardwood cabinetry throughout. Storage is integrated into every available space—under-berth compartments, cabin lockers, and deck lids with rubber gaskets and drainage channels keep gear organized and protected. The galley includes a sink, refrigerator, and microwave, enabling food preparation underway or at anchor. The separate head
