54' 2023 Offshore 54 Pilothouse

• Condition: Used
• YW#: 4062963
• Located in: Fort Lauderdale, Florida, United States

The Offshore 54' has proven to be and is regarded as one of the top cruising Pilothouse models in her class. Offshore is now building what promises to be the most refined, detailed and well thought out 54 in existence.

Every facet of the yacht has been thru a detailed audit to find areas for improvement. It's all about the view!!! For example, the master stateroom has added large view windows brining in tons of light. A lovely, soffit over the berth is an appealing design detail and also serves as an A/C vent to cool the cabin quickly and efficiently. The former A/C ducting channels have disappeared creating more open space to enjoy. Beautiful teak paneled columns from the berth that speak clearly and affirm the high quality throughout.

The salon has a new layout with the entertainment/TV aft - which allows more space for comfortable seating, proper viewing angles for all on board from the galley to the pilothouse. Strategic lower cabinets add to the feeling of open space tying the inside to the outside.

The standard specifications are filled with premium quality gear like Optimus electronic steering, SeaTorque enclosed shaft system to make running most comfortable while reducing maintenance costs.

Enhancement of detail after detail insures that the Offshore 54 will continue to lead in bringing our clients an amazing overall yachting/cruising experience.

SIERRA FOX Offshore 54 Pilothouse

An exceptional offshore 54.

Welcome aboard SIERRA FOX , an incredible Offshore 54. Commissioned as one of two identical builds for the same owner in 2009, SIERRA FOX is unlike any other Offshore 54 Pilothouse you have seen. Built with the owner’s captain heavily involved throughout the build process to the ultimate specification, the thoughtfulness of the customization is unparalleled.

Having been customized from the original Offshore 54 mold, you’ll notice the transom and swim platform allow access to both side decks and the very generous swim platform. Perfect for when docking and well-suited for spending more time on the water. All exterior stainless-steel fixtures and hardware including cleats, hawses, railings, and more were built to be double the size of the normal Offshore 54 models. The strong features ensure your extended cruising to remote locations is successful.

On the flybridge, you’ll be impressed with the stainless-steel radar and electronics mounting found in a very compact area. The flybridge also features a recently added high quality polycarbonate full enclosure by Barrett Enclosure in Seattle. Excellent sightlines and visibility at the flybridge allow the secondary helm station to be an excellent area to operate SIERRA FOX . The flybridge helm station features all equipment and systems that are also found at the primary helm station. Additional seating allows you to stay connected with your guests while underway.

The systems, electronics, and features onboard were meant to be redundant. Equipped to be self-sufficient and reliable the spare parts inventory displays the fine attention to detail that is evident throughout SIERRA FOX . A bonus of SIERRA FOX is the checklists, manuals, and prepared materials that highlight how each system works and how the vessel should be ran to optimize efficiency. From both a factory and owner’s perspective, you’ll have everything needed to start cruising.

The helm station features Nauticomp displays showing on two different Furuno screens. A ships computer and backup laptop computer are also found at the helm station powering Nobletech time zero. Controls for the hydraulic bow and stern thrusters are located at the helm. Hydraulic thrusters are another upgrade as most Offshore 54 models come standard with electric thrusters. Flir night vision and low light cameras are inputted at the helm and allow you to see in the 11 areas the cameras are located. Tank monitors, bilge counters, and inverter chargers are located overhead the helm and allow you to easily see all electronic aspects of SIERRA FOX . Multiple top-of-the-line headsets for communication are found onboard and ensure you and your guests know exactly what is happening while underway and in the marina. Integrated with SIERRA FOX , this feature is something you would find on a yacht much larger in size.

While many Offshore 54 models were built with an aft entrance to the owner’s stateroom, SIERRA FOX was customized with a singular entrance to both staterooms and is located to starboard from the helm station. This allows for better use of the salon and maximized the volume for additional refrigeration and storage onboard. The spacious VIP stateroom features a walkaround queen-sized berth with ample storage throughout. Moving aft is the comfortable owner’s stateroom boasting excellent head room. An impressive feature not typically found on yachts of this size. Plenty of storage and natural light from opening portlights is found in each of the ensuite heads.

A tasteful upgrade to the soft goods including carpets, bedding, furniture coverings, and more allows SIERRA FOX to feel welcoming and contemporary. Completed by Jonathan Quinn Barnett of JQB Designs in Seattle, his impressive catalog of interior yacht designs will leave you amazed. You’ll notice the bright and modern interior from the moment you step onboard.

Experience the incredible quality and craftsmanship that makes SIERRA FOX the best Offshore 54 offering on the market.

Offshore Yachts 54 Pilothouse For Sale

• By Jake Lamb
• February 21, 2024

The Offshore Yachts 54 Pilothouse, Argonaut , is listed for sale at $798,000 with Luke Brown Yachts. The 2005 long-range cruiser has only had two owners and has seen more than $300,000 in upgrades since 2013.

The Offshore Yachts 54 Pilothouse has bluewater-capable construction with a hand-laminated, bi-directional fiberglass hull reinforced with vacuum bagged Core cell–opting for a vinylester hull laminate for osmosis protection. For the structural areas above the waterline, the engine stringers and hull door openings, the builder used unidirectional laminate.

The heart of any pilothouse motor yacht is the helm. This 54-footer has split controls to throttle up and maneuver the yacht’s 700 hp Caterpillar C12 diesels, which provide 16-knot cruise speed. Top speed is 23 knots. The yacht’s 4-foot6-inch draft makes it a Bahamas-friendly vessel.

Electronics are from Simrad. Other notable piloting assistance comes from a hydraulic bow thruster (new in 2022) as well as Wesmar stabilizers. When guests want to keep the captain company, there’s an L-shaped dinette abaft the helm station’s two Stidd chairs.

The galley is well-appointed for long passages and has two granite countertops and top-notch appliances, including a Sub-Zero under-counter refrigerator and freezer, a Fisher Paykel dishwasher, a Princess oven, a Sharp microwave/convection oven, a Kenyon three-burner cooktop and a stainless-steel sink.

The salon benefits from the natural light from the main deck’s nearly 360 degrees of glass. There is s a U-shaped settee with a hi-lo folding table to port. A flat-screen TV is tucked away in the starboard-side cabinets.

As far as exterior entertainment spaces go, Argonaut has an open cockpit, which can accommodate setting out some lines to catch dinner, or putting out loose furniture to sit back and relax with friends and family. It also has the flybridge where guests can enjoy alfresco dining at a dinette abaft the two-seat helm station. It’s worth noting the two Stidd helm chairs pivot 180 degrees for additional table seating.

Belowdecks are the two staterooms, including a forepeak VIP with a centerline berth and an amidships master, both of which have en suite heads and private stairwells.

Additional features for Argonaut include:

• Two Northern Lights generators
• 12-foot AB inflatable with Yamaha 30 hp engine
• KVH satellite dome
• Asko washer and dryer
• Simrad electronics w/BB-NSO computer (black box processor)

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.

Moscow City Guide

Moscow is a vibrant and bustling place to live and work. If you’re planning to move abroad and start anew then it isn’t a bad choice for the discerning expat.

A city storied in history, Moscow is full of stunning sights and architecture and there are a number of wonderfully tranquil neighbourhoods, filled with friendly locals and well kept parks. Since the demise of the communist empire Moscow has embraced the flashy side of capitalism and littered the shopping districts with well known western stores and luxurious designer boutiques. The streets of Moscow that were once bleak and desolate are now busy with life and energy, there are many market traders and street vendors selling a host of different wares. One of the downsides of moving to Moscow is that it has the dubious honour of being one of the most expensive cities in the world.

The weather in Russia is often described as iconic. The classically cold harsh winters eventually make way for a warmer summer season, there is little rain in Moscow but there is much snow, often starting around October and lasting all the way to spring. Another seasonal factor worth considering is the lack of daylight that Moscow receives in winter, some days only six hours are recorded.

Employment, Work Permits and Visas

Becoming an expat in Moscow is not without its difficulties as immigration laws are becoming tougher and tougher. You must apply for a visa and work permit before you reach Russian shores as it is extremely difficult to obtain these documents if you travel to Russia without them.

However, recent changes to the strict immigration laws have made life a little easier for foreign workers who are highly skilled. From 1 July 2010 highly qualified foreign professionals will be able to apply for special three year work permits. To qualify for this longer permit you must have key skills in a specialist field, and gain a contract of employment worth £43,000 per year or more.

It is not advisable to travel to Moscow with the intention of securing work once you get there. The majority of expats who journey to Russia have secured employment; or are sent there through their existing employers, as it is very hard for foreigners to source work once in Russia. In fact Russia actually has a yearly quota of work permits that can be given out via the Federal Migration Services. However, there is a large amount of corruption and patronage and these permits are often given out previous to the year in question.

If you work in construction or oil you may be able to gain special expat packages enabling you to work in Russia. The types of sector where expats are likely to be able to gain employment are management, engineering, IT and banking. A problem that arises for foreigners seeking employment in Russia is the fact that home-grown, English speaking Russians, will generally work for less than their expat counterparts. If you have been offered a job in Moscow then your prospective employer will most likely have applied for the permit on your behalf. Contact the Federal Migration Service for more information.

Business Culture

If you start working in Moscow you will notice that Russian business practices are very similar in essence to the western sensibilities you are already used to. Russian business folk are direct and do not put an emphasis on establishing personal relationships. Dress code is generally smart and you can make a good impression on new associates by delivering a good firm handshake and making strong eye contact. When ordering business cards it would be wise to have two sides printed, one in Russian and one in English.

Accommodation

Expats moving to Moscow may face potential difficulty finding somewhere to live. Rental prices in Moscow can be very expensive and lower priced apartments located in the industrial areas are hot commodities due to their cheaper rents. However, these cheaper apartments tend to be basic with often just one room. Many expats will find that it can take up to one month to find accommodation so you may wish to opt for one of the short term apartments that are on offer, which tend to charge by the night. If you are interested in purchasing a property in Moscow then once again you will find that prices are very high. There is a strong expat community in Moscow and many of these expats tend to flock towards the same areas, areas such as Patriarshiye Ponds and Chistye Prudy are both popular.

If you already hold a valid driving licence in your home country then upon relocating to Moscow you will be able to use this existing licence for a total of six months, however you will also need to submit a translated version of your licence, a valid medical certificate that cites good health and that you have no history of substance abuse or mental illness and also your passport. After submitting these documents you will have to take a driving exam, which is completely in Russian and does not allow the use of a translator. The test is made up of 20 questions that are pulled from a bank of 300 stock questions.

If this all sounds a bit daunting then take solace in the fact that the Moscow metro system is one of the most efficient and best transport systems in the world. Lavishly decorated with sculptures and mosaic art, 150 stations make up the metro network and not only is it fast and reliable, but it is also cheap. The metro runs until 1am.

There are also numerous buses and trams to help cart you around Moscow along with special passenger vans (essentially private buses) that actually follow bus routes. Independent, or private, taxis are also found on Moscow’s roads but be aware that as a foreigner you will most likely be charged a higher fare and, whilst mostly safe, these private cars may also be dangerous come nightfall, especially for women.

Healthcare can come with a hefty price tag and sometimes medical insurance will not be accepted. If you require emergency care then be aware that a lack of funding means that there are often delays to the service, also it is uncommon for the emergency telephone operators to speak any language other than Russian so be prepared for this potential barrier. A silver lining in this potentially lethal raincloud is the fact that there are a few international hospitals that do actually cater to foreigners living in Russia. Two examples of these are the American Medical Centre , and the European Medical Group . These facilities both have staff that are predominantly educated at western institutions and they will be able to speak in a variety of different languages, English included, to ensure there are no problems in describing your symptoms. Both of these facilities also have a wide range of medical services available, more so than the standard Russian hospitals.

The authorities of Moscow, indeed the whole of Russia, hold the importance of education in high regard and for this reason you will find that there are many schools to be found in Moscow. There are numerous English-language schools and also specific international schools. Some schools also offer more specialist teaching, focusing perhaps on just math, or foreign languages. Russian children partake in a compulsory eleven year programme of secondary education.

As per most popular expat destinations, there are a number of schools that actually stick to the English National Curriculum. An example of this is the English International School ; which has been operating for over 12 years, and the British International School .

As a UK expat you may not be well versed in the Russian language itself, so if you are thinking about learning Russian you may be interested in attending the language school at the Lomonosov Moscow State University, a popular choice for working expats. Here they offer intensive courses aimed at people who are completely new to Russian, focusing on important phrases and terms that will help you in your day-to-day life.

Entertainment and Lifestyle

Moscow is a truly beautiful city with a phenomenal amount of culture and history. When you first arrive in Moscow it may be worth your while to embark on one of the many city tours so that you can get an idea of the feel of the city, its attractions and prime locations. A city tour will not only show you around Moscow but also gives you a veritable history lesson and fills you in on all the social and economic factors that have helped build your new place of residence into the cosmopolitan hub that it is today.

Given its unique history it is no surprise that Moscow plays host to a wealth of wonderful museums. The Pushkin Museum is home to the second largest collection of fine European art in the world, showcasing the works of such artistic luminaries as Vincent Van Gogh, Matisse and Renoir.

As touched upon before, Russia is a very expensive place for expats to live, but a benefit is the comfort of western sensibilities, which means all the big brands you are used to will have stores in Moscow to cater for your shopping needs. There are also many market places where you can sample a slightly more authentic Russian shopping experience.

Moscow is a city that provides a wide variety of entertainment during both the day and night. There are a huge amount of swanky bars and lively nightclubs waiting for you to step past their bouncers and relax after a hard week’s work with the aid of some authentic Russian vodka.
