Description
This Cruisers 540 Express is in great condition with many recent services completed and it is held in an LLC.
The 540 Express is a well-appointed cruising yacht that delivers an excellent balance of performance, handling, comfort, and onboard storage—ideal for both full-day entertaining and extended cruising. This vessel features the desirable three-cabin layout and is equipped with a generator, air conditioning, washer/dryer, hydraulic swim platform, bow thruster, Garmin chartplotter, radar, and autopilot. Additionally, the Makrolon windows from the windshield to the hardtop were replaced in October 2025, enhancing visibility and weather protection.
The above-deck layout is designed for ease of operation and socializing, with a walk-around helm that provides excellent access for both captain and co-pilot. Aft of the helm, generous horseshoe seating converts electrically into a spacious sun lounge, complemented by additional aft deck platform seating. Entertaining is further enhanced by a wet bar with refrigerator and icemaker, along with ample storage for water toys. The hardtop with Makrolon windows offers protection in cooler conditions, while the extended aft bimini provides welcome shade during warmer summer afternoons. The layout allows comfortable cruising with friends or family and can also be an excellent platform for charter trips as this vessel has previously been part of a successful San Diego fleet for captained trips.
Below deck, the interior is warm and inviting, finished in rich cherry wood with refined detailing throughout. The three-stateroom, two-head layout also includes a convertible salon that accommodates an additional guest. The galley is fully equipped with a large refrigerator/freezer, double sink, electric three-burner cooktop, microwave/convection oven with exhaust fan, and a dedicated bar area with abundant storage. Dining options include a large crescent-shaped dinette with an electrically operated table that stows beneath the sole when not in use, as well as bar-style seating forward of the galley for casual meals.
The forward head offers secondary access from the forward stateroom, while the aft head—located to starboard aft of the dinette—provides access from either aft cabin, enhancing privacy and functionality.
