Description
The Cruisers Yachts 4270 Express is widely regarded as one of the brand’s most successful and versatile models, and Crème Brûlée is a standout example. Designed by Tony Martens, the 4270 offers a true two-stateroom, two-head layout—rare in her class—with an expansive salon, cherrywood cabinetry, and an inviting, warm interior.
This yacht is owned by a seasoned yachtsman who, within the past year, has invested significantly to ensure turnkey reliability—including a professional rebuild of the starboard Caterpillar 3126 diesel. Unfortunately, a change in personal plans now brings this exceptional vessel to market at an outstanding value. Crème Brûlée looks, runs, and feels like the perfect express cruiser for extended weekends or coastal adventures.
This vessel is priced aggressively to reflect her owner’s motivation and represents one of the best values in the express cruiser market today.
