Cruisers Yachts 500 Express

• By Kevin Falvey
• Updated: May 25, 2004

Barefoot and freshly showered, I grabbed a cold one from the wetbar and kicked back in the cockpit lounge of the new Cruisers Yachts 500 Express. I wanted to relax with a book. But the 500 Express made hard work of light reading. That’s because every boater walking the dock at the marina where I was berthed stopped cold on the planks astern of me. Each uttered, “Nice boat,” followed by a request for a tour and my take on the 500 Express’ ride, handling, and construction. So join me on a quick tour of what’s possibly the best-but still not perfect-express cruiser I’ve tested.

RUNNING IT. Take the helm and you’ll begin to understand. Rotating in or out of a tight slip is made easy by the built-in slow mode available on the electronic controls of the 684-bhp Volvo Penta D12DMP diesel inboards that are the sole power choice for the 500 Express. With the idle dropped to 550 rpm, boat speed is just 4.6 mph. There’s no lurching and jumping in and out of gear as often experienced on other boats powered by big, mechanically controlled diesels. Maneuvering is a snap.

Now push the levers forward. The 500 Express breaks over in a rush of power. You quickly settle into a brisk, 26.8-mph cruise at 1800 rpm. That speed is the point where the D12’s torque is at the max and horsepower is near its peak. As a result, the 500 Express effortlessly climbs the back of a following sea. Plus, you can cruise for more than 280 miles at this speed. What’s more, the torque and power curves remain high from 1800 rpm to almost 2310 (top end). So lay the hammer down. This 40,000-pound sport yacht responds with an exciting dose of acceleration.

In three-to-five-foot waves, the 500 Express ran smoothly, whether in a cross-sea, quartering sea, or downsea, at speeds to 30 mph. Running upwind in the same conditions required that I tab down and throttle back to 23 mph to maintain comfort. That’s still quick, even for a boat this size. When the seas got rougher, I discovered that the 500 Express remained on plane and maneuverable at an enviable 12 mph, tabs fully deployed. By comparison, Sea Ray’s 500 Sundancer fell off plane at 15 mph when I tested it, but it had smaller 635-bhp Cummins QSM-11 diesels turning smaller props through higher gear ratios, which results in less torque. Note that the 500 Sundancer is a foot longer but 1,000 pounds lighter. And with the optional 670-bhp MAN diesels, the 500 Sundancer ($949,541) likely will hold plane at a lower speed. So even though the comparison isn’t completely equivalent-more like Macintosh to Red Delicious-the fact remains: The 500 Express stays on plane at the lowest speed of any express cruiser I’ve tested.

I also noted good visibility from the helm, comfortable placement of instruments, and wiper/washers that do a good job of clearing the view. However, the rail at the bow jitters like a divining rod-it needs an additional vertical support to stop the bounce. Cruisers Yachts says the fix is in the works. Be sure to check it out. There also wasn’t enough heel room to assume a comfortable posture while standing, because the helm seat’s base forces you to stand erect and close to the helm, despite the tilt wheel. There’s nothing of consequence under that base, so making it a bit smaller or recessing it altogether should be easy. Again, the fix is supposedly in.

INSIDE EDITION. Getting to the bow is done with ease-just check out the requisite cockpit steps, wide sidedecks, and sturdy grabrails and you’ll see what I mean. But the 500 Express also offers access through the windshield, which is split and hinged on its port corner, near the companionway. Going forward, whether to cleat a springline alongside, deploy fenders, or drop the hook using the windlass foot switch, is safe and easy. Simply put, this side walkthrough arrangement is unique.

Just as unique is the transom setup, which provides a threesome of amenities: dinghy handling, seating, and bulk stowage. Step out onto the extended swim platform and flip open the transom cap: a davit ($22,714) is revealed for easy launch and load of a small boat. Below the davit lid is a recessed area that forms a four-person bench, complete with cushions, plus drinkholders and a stereo remote. This lid opens the lower stowage compartment. Stand up and lift the seat lid. Stowage for fenders and lines as well as power and water inlets are inside.

The cockpit sports a cool U-lounge, a section of which pulls out from inside the transom to create a sunpad. The wetbar incorporates an electric grill ($1,607), and the table features a folding top, which I found convenient. Now take a close look at the table’s pedestal: Its socket features a collar that prevents the pedestal from going out of round. This solves a common problem: After the table has been leaned on a few times, the pedestal becomes oblong in cross-section and no longer fits tight, and the table wobbles.

THE FIRE DOWN BELOW. I woke up without the benefit of an alarm clock, as light streamed in through the six windows-vertical port lights, really-installed in the master stateroom. Window treatments are standard, but I’m so used to aft cabins being cave-like that I didn’t think to close them the night before.

The mattress proved comfortable to sleep on, though I kept bumping my head on the valance overhead, which looks great but overhangs the berth too much. Showering was easy in the master head’s wide and tall stall. I was also impressed with the cabinetry in here, which is real grain-matched cherry veneer. Now check the hanging locker. It has a shelf positioned at mid-height that has a section cut out of it. This allows you to hang long items, say a sundress, alongside shirts and still have a shelf.

In the salon you’ll find the settee, which is luxuriously completed with double incliners-a plush spot from which to watch the game. What’s more, check out the glass-fronted liquor cabinet built-in at the end of the galley cabinets. It’s lit from within, looks great, and lets you pick your poison from afar. All is well appointed-check the cherry tread companionway steps ($607). Too bad the companionway hatch needs a larger handle. I had a devil of a time using the little finger pull on the latch. Cruisers Yachts says it’s working on it.

Forward is the guest stateroom, which you can have arranged in one of two layouts: twin V-berths or a single queen berth. Either way, there’s a bulkhead, a door, and private access to the day head, which has a tile sole and shower stall.

In all, the 500 Express’ 15’6″ beam was put to great use belowdecks. Set up a sea trial and find out for yourself. And if you go for it, just remember to take your evening read while on the hook. You’re sure to be interrupted while dockside.

EXTRA POINT: Equipment such as tanks and air conditioners can all be removed for service or replacement without having to cut up the boat.

General Description

"No Tan Lines Too" is a very nicely updated example of the spacious Cruisers 500/520 Express. Called the 520 Express from 2006-2009, she does measure to this length and definitely has the feel of a 50 foot plus boat! Featuring a factory hardtop there is a tremendous amount of headroom both in the cockpit and down below. A full enclosure that has been updated and the cockpit air and heat (also upgraded) make the exterior enjoyable in all conditions and an electric grill cabinet, cockpit sink, refrigerator/freezer and cockpit TV make this a wonderful spot to entertain and relax in. The helm is full featured with Volvo engine displays, electronic controls and a bow thruster to make docking a breeze especially with the responsive Volvo D12 Inboards. A walkthrough windshield makes moving to the bow for line handling or sunbathing very comfortable and there is an upgraded custom sunpad with backrests. Down below there is a huge open salon and galley area with wrap around seating, dual incliners, upgraded smart TV, salon table with leaves, upscale galley with dual sinks, dishwasher, corian counters, and abundant storage. The owners cabin is mid ship and full beam with large hull side windows, a custom wine fridge, hanging locker and full head with stall shower. Privacy is afforded by having the guest cabin forward and this stateroom features another queen size bed and private head with stall shower.

The engine room is well laid out and again has great headroom. A generator in sound shield, glendinnning cablemaster, fuel polishing, oil exchange system, easy access to batteries and battery chargers, etc. make this a great space to work in and perform routine checks and maintenance.

"No Tan Lines Too" does come with a Brig RIB Tender with 20hp Honda Outboard which is conveniently launched with a fully hydraulic davit system.

Conveniently located in Baltimore's Inner Harbor just minutes off of I-95 and only 20-25 minutes away from Baltimore Washington International (BWI) Airport, this is a boat not to be missed!

River Cruise on Luxurious Radisson Boat

• Description
• Choose date

Equipped with ice-breaking technology, these huge fancy yachts are the only river cruisers running all year around. The round trip journey takes two and a half hours and floats past all the big sights like the White House, Novodevichy monastery and the Kremlin. There’s a large open air observation deck up top, while the main body of the ship houses a restaurant with a dance floor for a romantic post dinner dance. For a particularly romantic experience take one of the evening boats and admire the bright lights of the city skyline at night.

The most relaxing and picturesque tour that Moscow can offer: a great way to see the city center and its main attractions. This is a perfect alternative to exploring the city by car, if you only have time to do sightseeing during weekday rush hours.

Your English-speaking guide is eager to share every bit of their knowledge about the surrounding landscape, the architecture and historical details.

We conduct Moscow river tour on Radisson Flotilla boats all year around!  It’s warm inside during winter months, while there’s air conditioning during hot summer days. You may also treat yourself to drinks, lunch or dinner on board (drinks and food are not included in tour price).

Called the 520 Express from 2006-2009, she does measure to this length and definitely has the feel of a 50 foot plus boat! Featuring a factory hardtop there is a tremendous amount of headroom both in the cockpit and down below. A full enclosure that has been updated and the cockpit air and heat (also upgraded) make the exterior enjoyable in all conditions and an electric grill cabinet, cockpit sink, refrigerator/freezer and cockpit TV make this a wonderful spot to entertain and relax in. The helm is full featured with Volvo engine displays, electronic controls and a bow thruster to make docking a breeze especially with the responsive Volvo D12 Inboards. A walkthrough windshield makes moving to the bow for line handling or sunbathing very comfortable and there is an upgraded custom sunpad with backrests. Down below there is a huge open salon and galley area with wrap around seating, dual incliners, upgraded smart TV, salon table with leaves, upscale galley with dual sinks, dishwasher, corian counters, and abundant storage. The owners cabin is mid ship and full beam with large hull side windows, a custom wine fridge, hanging locker and full head with stall shower. Privacy is afforded by having the guest cabin forward and this stateroom features another queen size bed and private head with stall shower.

The engine room is well laid out and again has great headroom. A generator in sound shield, glendinnning cablemaster, fuel polishing, oil exchange system, easy access to batteries and battery chargers, etc. make this a great space to work in and perform routine checks and maintenance.

"No Tan Lines Too" does come with a Brig RIB Tender with 20hp Honda Outboard which is conveniently launched with a fully hydraulic davit system.

Conveniently located in Baltimore's Inner Harbor just minutes off of I-95 and only 20-25 minutes away from Baltimore Washington International (BWI) Airport, this is a boat not to be missed!

Cruising the Moskva River: A short guide to boat trips in Russia’s capital

There’s hardly a better way to absorb Moscow’s atmosphere than on a ship sailing up and down the Moskva River. While complicated ticketing, loud music and chilling winds might dampen the anticipated fun, this checklist will help you to enjoy the scenic views and not fall into common tourist traps.

How to find the right boat?

There are plenty of boats and selecting the right one might be challenging. The size of the boat should be your main criteria.

Plenty of small boats cruise the Moskva River, and the most vivid one is this yellow Lay’s-branded boat. Everyone who has ever visited Moscow probably has seen it.

This option might leave a passenger disembarking partially deaf as the merciless Russian pop music blasts onboard. A free spirit, however, will find partying on such a vessel to be an unforgettable and authentic experience that’s almost a metaphor for life in modern Russia: too loud, and sometimes too welcoming. Tickets start at $13 (800 rubles) per person.

Bigger boats offer smoother sailing and tend to attract foreign visitors because of their distinct Soviet aura. Indeed, many of the older vessels must have seen better days. They are still afloat, however, and getting aboard is a unique ‘cultural’ experience. Sometimes the crew might offer lunch or dinner to passengers, but this option must be purchased with the ticket. Here is one such  option  offering dinner for $24 (1,490 rubles).

If you want to travel in style, consider Flotilla Radisson. These large, modern vessels are quite posh, with a cozy restaurant and an attentive crew at your service. Even though the selection of wines and food is modest, these vessels are still much better than other boats.

Surprisingly, the luxurious boats are priced rather modestly, and a single ticket goes for $17-$32 (1,100-2,000 rubles); also expect a reasonable restaurant bill on top.

How to buy tickets?

Women holding photos of ships promise huge discounts to “the young and beautiful,” and give personal invitations for river tours. They sound and look nice, but there’s a small catch: their ticket prices are usually more than those purchased online.

“We bought tickets from street hawkers for 900 rubles each, only to later discover that the other passengers bought their tickets twice as cheap!”  wrote  (in Russian) a disappointed Rostislav on a travel company website.

Nevertheless, buying from street hawkers has one considerable advantage: they personally escort you to the vessel so that you don’t waste time looking for the boat on your own.

Prices start at $13 (800 rubles) for one ride, and for an additional $6.5 (400 rubles) you can purchase an unlimited number of tours on the same boat on any given day.

Flotilla Radisson has official ticket offices at Gorky Park and Hotel Ukraine, but they’re often sold out.

Buying online is an option that might save some cash. Websites such as  this   offer considerable discounts for tickets sold online. On a busy Friday night an online purchase might be the only chance to get a ticket on a Flotilla Radisson boat.

This  website  (in Russian) offers multiple options for short river cruises in and around the city center, including offbeat options such as ‘disco cruises’ and ‘children cruises.’ This other  website  sells tickets online, but doesn’t have an English version. The interface is intuitive, however.

Buying tickets online has its bad points, however. The most common is confusing which pier you should go to and missing your river tour.

“I once bought tickets online to save with the discount that the website offered,” said Igor Shvarkin from Moscow. “The pier was initially marked as ‘Park Kultury,’ but when I arrived it wasn’t easy to find my boat because there were too many there. My guests had to walk a considerable distance before I finally found the vessel that accepted my tickets purchased online,” said the man.

There are two main boarding piers in the city center:  Hotel Ukraine  and  Park Kultury . Always take note of your particular berth when buying tickets online.

Where to sit onboard?

Even on a warm day, the headwind might be chilly for passengers on deck. Make sure you have warm clothes, or that the crew has blankets ready upon request.

The glass-encased hold makes the tour much more comfortable, but not at the expense of having an enjoyable experience.

Getting off the boat requires preparation as well. Ideally, you should be able to disembark on any pier along the way. In reality, passengers never know where the boat’s captain will make the next stop. Street hawkers often tell passengers in advance where they’ll be able to disembark. If you buy tickets online then you’ll have to research it yourself.

There’s a chance that the captain won’t make any stops at all and will take you back to where the tour began, which is the case with Flotilla Radisson. The safest option is to automatically expect that you’ll return to the pier where you started.
