More 55 Buyer's Guide
Shopping the brokerage market for a More 55 means looking at a 2015-launched Cossutti-designed performance cruiser built by a Croatian yard, a 54-foot yacht that splits its pedigree between regatta course and charter deck. Most used More 55s trace to the charter trade, and the layouts reflect that history, but privately specified boats exist for those who look.
Layouts on the Used Market
Charter four-cabin versions are the more common sight on the resale market, with the pure five-cabin charter shell also available; ex-charter boats are a frequent offering. The four-cabin arrangement gives four heads and a large galley-saloon, a sensible middle ground between family privacy and fleet utility, while the five-cabin pure charter layout adds a skipper berth or sail locker forward. A three-cabin owner's version was also built for those wanting a full-width stateroom and less throughput.
Equipment and Common Upgrades
On the used market, a bimini, teak decks, cockpit shower, chartplotter, inverter, autopilot, freezer, and swim platform are commonly fitted, so most boats will already carry the basics for Mediterranean cruising. Often-seen additions include air conditioning, electric winches, a watermaker, heating, a bow thruster, and hot water — clusters that matter most to a buyer because they speak to self-sufficiency and docking ease: a watermaker and ample inverter capacity extend time off the dock, while a bow thruster tames the 54-foot hull in tight marinas. Less commonly, you may find radar or a life raft as an owner upgrade rather than standard kit.
What to Inspect
The steel frame is mounted to the hull to take shroud, mast, and keel loads, so inspect the overlaminated joints for any staining or movement where it meets the composite rust free steel frame is mounted to the hull. The teak deck was laid with full battens in the classic manner and measured a thick five to six millimetres on review boats, but check for soft spots and failed caulking given many examples are ex-charter. Vacuum-infused hulls should be surveyed for osmosis or impact, and the Alucore aluminium floors are meant to resist moisture — confirm no swelling around joiner bases.
Availability and Buyer's Takeaway
Typical markets for the More 55 are Croatia and Italy, where the charter lineage keeps a steady supply of four- and five-cabin boats. For a buyer, the shortlist is:
- Decide between charter-grade multi-cabin layouts and a rarer owner's three-cabin version
- Verify teak deck condition and steel-frame bonding given ex-charter wear
- Confirm whether often-seen systems (watermaker, bow thruster, AC) are present or missing
- Survey the infusion hull and aluminium floors for moisture intrusion
- Expect most boats to already carry bimini, cockpit shower, and swim platform as standard cruising kit
