Best Luxury Flybridge Manufacturer 50’-70’

Cummins ends at 715hp and then you have to decide between cats , Volvo’s and Man’s for any of the boats I’m looking at. I have Cummins on my 48 but they are 517hp each and have been bullet proof until now.

Considering your engines preference, your need for three cabins and your beam restrictions, you'd better check out the Ferretti 500. You might be surprised by how close she is in terms of interior volumes to the mid 50 footers that you have in mind.

What about galleon, I understand they are comparable to princess and have a nice layout to them. The f50 looks great, but I have never driven or been in one.

While a lot may disagree .. If you are looking used take a look at the Sea Ray L650 FLY .. if you get one properly optioned they are a great boat and just as trouble free as any on the list .. I own a L650Fly it came with C18 Cats . hydraulic bow and stern thrusters , twin Sea keepers , crews qtrs , 2 built in grills so many refrigerators i have to think to count 3 docking stations , I could go on.. But so far love the boat .. and when you get a sea ray you get the best customer service in the business. If I ask for information in the morning my in box will be full of drawings and instructions by afternoon...

I wouldn't disagree at all with an L650 Fly purchased used. The issues were the problems they were delivered new with, which required a lot of work and patience.

Another new poster popping in on Galeon boats (only one L). I would not be inclined to put them as comparable to Princess, more like Prestige. My bigger concern is their channel of distribution in the US and getting service from the dealer.

You mean 3 stations, one being in the cockpit on top of the "usual" two, I suppose?
3 docking stations sounds like you're talking of a cruise ship...

yes .. the helm inside and on flybridge and 1 cockpit docking station... I referred to it as docking stations since they all use a (separate) joy stick if desired for docking only.. but you are correct that is what I should have said..

What is so unusual with 3 docking station on a 60 to 70 ft yacht. Two wing stations and one station in the aft cockpit for med mooring. Only thing You need are the trottle(s) and the joysticks for the bow and stern thruster for easy single handed docking. And if possible, the electronic hook (automatic position hold) makes thing really easy and safe. In my opinion, these systems would make already sense on, for example, a Nordhavn 52, when operated by the typical husband and wife crew.

Just my 2 (Euro) cents

Unusual? Well, Nordhavn 52 doesn't have it normally. Most boats in this size range do not come with it standard. The poster never said it was unusual, just he loved it.

I guess my post was meant to help the op if I did not word something correctly I am sorry about it I never implied that the docking station was unusual just that it has it and I like it .. just saying the boat has some nice features on it and depending on what the op is looking for could be something he finds helpful....

And you didn't imply that.

No reason to be sorry. Cruise ship joke aside, I'm well aware that triple docking stations can and do exists, which is precisely the reason why I asked.
That said, I can't imagine anyone asking for more than joystick on both helms plus in the cockpit in a boat like yours, and I certainly agree with your description of her as "properly optioned"!

I would take a look at Schaefer Yachts. They are breaking into the US market. We’ve currently got a 660 under construction and take delivery in a couple months.
