Performance and Power

Powered by twin Cummins 450 HP diesel engines, Low Profile delivers the perfect balance of power, efficiency, and reliability. These proven engines provide strong acceleration and effortless cruising in the mid-20-knot range, with a top speed approaching 30 knots depending on load and conditions.

The vessel is equipped with Glendinning engine synchronizers, ensuring smooth operation and fuel-efficient running. Dockside maneuvering is made simple with a Vetus 75 kW bow thruster, providing precise control even in tight marinas or crosswinds.

Her deep-V hull — one of Sea Ray’s most versatile and respected designs — offers a confident, dry, and stable ride. Whether navigating calm coastal waters or running through open-sea conditions, the 455 Sundancer handles with poise and predictability. The hull’s balance between performance and comfort makes her a true long-range cruiser as well as a relaxed weekend entertainer.

Electronics and Navigation

Low Profile features an upgraded suite of electronics designed for safe and effortless navigation:

Flir M232 thermal camera for enhanced night navigation

This integrated setup ensures the captain has complete situational awareness in all conditions — from coastal passages to night operations. The navigation station is ergonomically designed for comfort and visibility, with clear sightlines from the helm and easy access to all controls.

Deck and Cockpit

Designed for both functionality and leisure, the cockpit of Low Profile is a highlight of the 460 Sundancer. The expansive U-shaped seating area aft comfortably accommodates guests for entertaining or lounging at anchor. A wet bar with a Waeco cockpit refrigerator keeps refreshments within easy reach, while the transom door opens to a wide swim platform perfect for water activities.

The Lofrans Project 100 windlass provides dependable anchoring capability, while sturdy stainless-steel rails and wide side decks ensure safe access forward. The helm area features a double companion seat, full instrumentation, and excellent visibility underway.

The exterior presentation of Low Profile is truly impressive. Her hull and deck gleam with a deep, polished shine, and the upholstery and canvas are in excellent condition. Every aspect reflects pride of ownership and regular professional care.

Interior and Accommodations

The 460 Sundancer’s interior is finished in high-gloss cherry cabinetry, soft leather upholstery, and polished solid-surface countertops. The open layout creates a warm, inviting atmosphere ideal for extended stays aboard.

The forward master stateroom features a centerline queen berth, private ensuite head with Vacuflush toilet and separate shower, and ample locker and drawer storage. The mid-cabin easily converts into a private guest stateroom with its own head access, making this yacht ideal for two couples or family cruising.
