Sea Urchin is a remarkably well-kept 1999 Navigator 5300 Pilothouse motor yacht for sale, extensively refit and thoughtfully modernized for Pacific Northwest cruising. Built in the US, Navigator's are prized for their big-boat volume, secure pilothouse, generous salon/galley-up layout and three-stateroom accommodations, making them ideal as both family and long-range cruising yachts.
Sea Urchin stands apart thanks to a purposeful modernisation focused on reliability, comfort and energy independence. Recent upgrades include a Victron lithium power conversion (2023) with 800 Ah lithium bank, new Garmin chartplotters (2025) at both helms plus a third in the tender, new turbos (2025), Muir windlass and Vulcan anchor (2023), re-carpeted and soundproofed interior (2024), and a rebuilt/expanded watermaker (2023).
Her Volvo TAMD 63s engines (370 hp each) are proven workhorses, regularly maintained with updated heat exchangers and serviced running gear. Naiad stabilizers, a Wesmar bow thruster, Glendinning synchronizer, and thoughtful helm ergonomics make Sea Urchin an easy, comfortable pilothouse motor yacht for sale for couples or families.
For buyers seeking secure pilothouse cruising, home-style livability, and thoughtfully updated electrical systems, this Navigator 5300 Pilothouse motor yacht deserves a priority viewing. She is currently at Grand Yachts' sales dock at Port Sidney Marina, Vancouver Island.

The 5300’s interior feels more like a coastal home than a yacht of her size. Three private staterooms sleep six in comfort, with two heads and separate showers. The full-beam master lies amidships with an island berth, generous lockers, and en-suite head upgraded to a Masterflush system (2022).
Forward guest and twin cabins share a second head, also fitted with modern sanitation plumbing, vacuflush head and new Trident triple-wall hoses (2022). Fresh carpet with an acoustic underlay (2025) gives a quiet, warm atmosphere, complemented by LED lighting throughout and Chilewich shades and panels.

The salon welcomes guests through the cockpit sliding door into a bright, open space with panoramic windows and an easy connection to the galley. New carpet, window coverings and acoustic underlay lend a contemporary, quiet feel, while the seating layout encourages conversation between salon and pilothouse. Other updates include new Nova Kool refrigerator, Isotherm icemaker, LG television, and modern entertainment system with Starlink internet (2023).
Navigator’s proven FRP hull and decks were built for Northwest conditions. Sea Urchin’s exterior has been well maintained, with cockpit and swim step resurfaced (2024) and Muir windlass with stainless backing plate (2020) paired to a 40 kg Vulcan anchor and new rode. Lifelines, rails and fittings are stainless steel, and access fore-and-aft is secure thanks to wide side-decks. The flybridge provides exceptional visibility and comfort underway or at anchor. A Brower Systems crane manages tender launch, and seating areas invite entertaining or relaxing at anchor.
Comprehensive and modern navigation systems have been installed for reliability and simplicity. Dual Garmin multifunction displays (2025) at lower and upper helms provide integrated chart, radar, depth and AIS functions, with a third Garmin at the tender. Redundancy is complemented by legacy Simrad AP20 autopilot, Furuno radar, and dual ICOM VHFs. Starlink enables high-bandwidth weather routing and streaming.
The inverter/thruster battery bank was fully modernized in 2023 with a Victron inverter/charger suite and 800 Ah lithium house bank, a major upgrade from legacy AGM systems. The lithium bank powers the bow thruster, significantly extending capacity for anchoring, heating and galley use without generator dependency. A Glendinning Cablemaster simplifies shore-power handling, while LED lighting throughout lowers consumption.
Sea Urchin is powered by twin Volvo TAMD 63 diesels (370 hp each)—known for their reliability and smooth performance. The port transmission was replaced (2023) and both turbos are new (2025). Cooling systems were pressure-tested and cleaned, and all heat exchangers serviced. A Kohler diesel generator provides auxiliary power when required. Naiad stabilizers and a Glendinning synchronizer enhance comfort and efficiency, while a Tides dripless shaft seal system keeps bilges dry.
