Overview

Halcyon, a 1984 Magnum Marine 53 is an iconic offshore performance yacht from Magnum’s most respected era, renowned for her aggressive deep-V hull, legendary sea-keeping, and unmistakable profile. This example stands out with repowered engines featuring very low hours and upgraded electronics, making her a rare blend of classic Magnum heritage and modern reliability.

Built with Magnum’s famously over-engineered, hand-laid construction, the 53 delivers a soft, confident ride at speed and exceptional stability in offshore conditions. Her expansive cockpit, wide side decks, and commanding helm position make her equally capable for high-speed runs or comfortable coastal cruising. Below deck, the interior offers a functional and inviting layout with a generous salon, practical galley, and comfortable accommodations suitable for extended weekends or longer voyages.

Adding to her pedigree, this vessel was previously owned by a major motion picture executive, reflecting a history of discerning ownership and professional care. With her updated mechanicals and modern electronics suite, this Magnum 53 represents an exceptional opportunity to own a true American performance classic—upgraded for today’s boating standards while preserving the spirit that made Magnum Legendary.
