Standing out among yachts of comparable size, this 56' Neptunus Flybridge Model offers an impressive array of features, including three generously appointed and spacious staterooms with beautiful arched doorways, ample storage, and cedar-lined lockers; two heads; and versatile dining options on both the main and flybridge decks. The interior showcases casual elegance, with its high-gloss cherry joinery, Ultra-leather upholstery and paneling, and high-end finishes. The deck layout, unique to Neptunus designs, seamlessly integrates the open main deck, accommodation deck, and flybridge, displaying the brand's renowned expertise in space planning, functionality, and comfort. There are numerous areas in which to relax and enjoy, and plenty of room to entertain. Noteworthy features include a dual-helm setup with room for 2 people at each helm; easy same-level flow between the aft deck and the main deck salon, via a centerline curved stainless steel sliding door; a hydraulic swim platform with tender; stacked separate washer and dryer; and a spacious flybridge with wetbar area and a unique cushioned sun-lounge area forward of the upper helm station—the perfect area for entertaining. 

Designed for owner-operator, this yacht is powered by twin CAT 3406-E diesel engines and has a cruising speed of 24 knots, making it ideal for both short- and long-distance cruising. This particular 56' Neptunus is very well maintained, and boasts a meticulous engine room and lovely, spacious interiors.

The 56' Neptunus is an excellent choice for those looking in the Flybridge/Motor Yacht style market—and is manufactured in Canada to this day. A Canadian-built hull and American-made propulsion system result in easily obtainable parts, information, and service. Neptunus Yachts are known for their excellent sea-keeping abilities and are well regarded for their quality, appearance, and resale value.
