hen you look at the
Sea Ray Fly 520’s conviv-
ial salon, cockpit and fl y-
bridge arrangements, it’s
evident that on-the-water entertaining
and enjoyment are this yacht’s mission.
The galley is aft with a dining table
forward to port and a settee across
from it — a nice arrangement for
pre-dinner drinks and conversation.
Guests here can easily mingle with
friends or family in the galley, as well

as with those in the cockpit when the
salon’s sliding-glass door is open.
Owners can personalize the 520’s
interior space more than they could
on past Sea Ray models. Some options
include high-gloss ebony or walnut
veneers in lieu of satin-finish wal-
nut. Yachtsmen also can select from
wooden blinds or Roman shades,
solid-surface countertops or engi-
neered-stone surfaces, and woven
fabrics or Brisa Ultrafabrics.

EASY LIVIN’


The Sea Ray Fly 520 is about solace at sea with friends and family.
