Post Yachts 53

926 Gal.                16'11"             52'10"                    240 Gal.

Post Launches An All New 53 Convertible. The design team at Post Yachts spends a lot of time listening at boat shows, owners' events and to their dealers. So, when requests for a model between the current 50 and 56 footers capable of accommodating two couples surfaced, the concept for the new Post 53 was born. Through the design process, strategic changes were made that give the 53 a stylish new look, enhanced performance and amenities that are sure to please the most discerning enthusiast.
