2006 Neptunus 56' _{(17.07 m)} Flybridge Motor Yacht

Vessel Walkthrough

The Neptunus 56' Flybridge offers three generous staterooms, two heads, a lower helm, on deck galley and sit down dining. With a generous use of high gloss cherry joinery, burled countertops and buff vinyl wall panels the interior is gorgeous. Unique deck plans below deck, main deck and flybridge make the most of her 56' length.   

Boarding is from the hydraulic platform on a floating dock or over the gunnels on a fixed dock. The aft deck is fully shaded by the flybridge overhead. There is both fixed and loose seating on the teak decking. A curved stainless steel entry door leads to a salon with an L-shaped couch to port and matching love seat to starboard.

Up two steps to the open port side galley and one more step to a dinette and lower helm station. Stairs from this area lead to the accommodations with the ensuite master amidships, a double berth cabin to starboard and a Queen VIP forward. To port is a shard second head.

The new style flybridge offers additional seating areas, a wet bar and an air conditioned helm.

Salon

Upon entering from the Aft Deck of the 56' Neptunus one finds a wide open Salon, Galley, Dinette and Helm area that blends together like no other mid 50' Sedan Cruiser. The high gloss cherry joinery, buff colored wall coverings and slightly contrasting overhead is breathtaking. To port is an L shaped settee with storage under upholstered in beige Ultra Leather. Two sets of new drapes cover the double windows both port and starboard.

To starboard is an identically upholstered two person curved loveseat. Forward is a cabinet housing the built in 32” Toshiba LCD TV, a huge improvement over earlier models. 

Above is a cabinet with a Bose Lifestyle 48 entertainment center with AM/FM/CD/DVD changer, controls for the KVH TracVision, a SAT TV receiver and an attenuator for the Glomex TV antennae.

Forward are two steps up to the Galley. Aft is a sliding bug screen and full newly installed drapes for the curved stainless steel Trend entry door. Above are six dimmable halogen mini spots in soffits and two stereo speakers. Also in this area is a Bose subwoofer, digital A/C controls, a carpeted sole, central vac outlet, rope lighting, a custom cherry/burlwood coffee table and soffit delivery of the air conditioning air.

Two more A/C outlets are forward along with window defrosters and an inventive "Skylight" to the passageway below. The sole is laminated cherry to match the Galley.

Master Stateroom

The Master Suite is the first stateroom off the companionway. Through an arched top cherry door is the queen size berth on a 45 degree angle off the port aft corner for intelligent space utilization. Horizontal cherry strips between Ultra Leather vinyl panels give this cabin a distinctive look. The raised platform berth has rope lighting below, two storage drawers at the foot of the berth and an upholstered headboard set into a mirrored bulkhead. The mattress is Tempurpedic. Twin brass swing arm reading lights flank the berth. Built in cabinetry serves as his and hers nightstands. To starboard are six cherry drawers and one storage cabinet. Next outboard is an "almost" walk in hanging locker with cedar lighting, and a DC light.

To port of the berth is one storage drawer, storage cuddy and two opening stainless steel portholes and full Roman shades. Cool air is delivered through the soffit evenly across the aft end of the cabin eliminating ugly vents and strong drafts.

VIP Cabin

The VIP Cabin is all the way forward and rivals many Master Cabins of similar sized yachts. 

The queen size berth with innerspring mattress is off the forward mirrored bulkhead with an upholstered headboard below. Also below the berth are rope lights and two storage drawers facing aft. Above the berth is a Bomar escape hatch with screen or privacy cover for emergency escape and ventilation and two separate halogen mini spots as reading lights. To both port and starboard are seven cherry cabinets. Below are new Roman shades and rope lights with one opening stainless steel porthole on each side. Built in cabinetry form nightstands both port and starboard. Aft to port is access to the Guest Head.

Construction Details

Remarks

The Neptunus 56' Flybridge should be inspected by anyone looking for a sleek Euro style Sedan Cruiser. This model offers sleek lines, great speeds and "North American" sized berths, spaces and designs.

Perhaps the most important feature of this boat is that virtually all of her systems are North American built, parts easily obtained and familiar to the American market. 

HABITUAL LINE STEPPER has had only two owners. Being a 2006 model she has the vastly enlarged Flybridge and a full overhang for the Aft Deck seating. Very low time on her main engines!

Exclusions

While every effort was made to list all pertinent included equipment aboard HABITUAL LINE STEPPER, there are some personal belongings aboard. Prospective purchasers should assume any item not specifically mentioned herein will not convey at closing.
