2003 Alden 53' Marie

“Marie” is a classic “dual cabin” design with the master stateroom aft and the guest stateroom forward, separated by the raised main salon. Stepping aboard from either port or starboard amidships boarding gates, the wide non-skid side decks provide for easy passage around the entire circumference of the yacht which, including the 6’ cockpit, greatly facilitates line handling in all docking situations. The large air conditioned flybridge is accessed via a stairway adjacent to the companionway door leading to the main salon.

Entering the main salon from either that aft companionway door, or the starboard door adjacent to the lower helm station, to starboard is a large L-Shaped settee and hi-lo coffee table, with two occasional chairs. To port is the entertainment console with hide-away flat panel TV and associated tuners and stereo equipment.

Going forward four steps down, the fully equipped galley to port is open to the salon above. The guest head with tub/shower is to starboard with the laundry locker just ahead. The private guest stateroom forward features over and under single berths, a hanging locker, and double settee.

The spacious private owners’ stateroom aft features an island queen bed with linen storage ottoman at the foot of the bed, a corner desk and chair, two hanging lockers, and a chest of drawers with flat panel TV above. The en-suite head has a separate shower stall.

The efficient U-Shaped galley, four steps down from but open to the salon, has ample counter and storage spaces, with good light and ventilation. The oven looks brand new, as do the stacked washer and dryer.

There is ample fresh air and natural light via the six opening port lights, and at nighttime the indirect lighting sets the cherry wood paneling into a beautiful glow.
