An 18-foot air draft and an easygoing flybridge layout make this well-kept Silverton a natural fit for the Great Loop, the East Coast or a Bahamas crossing.
In a brief walkthrough aboard M/Y Palm Breeze, broker Joe Smith of The Multihull Company introduces a 2009 Silverton 43 Sport Bridge that he describes simply as “such a well-maintained, beautiful boat.” It’s a short video, but the pitch is a clear one, and it hinges on a number that cruisers pay close attention to.
The 18-foot advantage
Smith highlights the boat’s 18-foot air draft, which he points to as the reason this 43-footer “would make a perfect loop boat, East Coast or Bahamas cruiser.” Bridge clearance is the quiet gatekeeper of the Great Loop and much of the Intracoastal Waterway, and a flybridge boat that can slip under the fixed spans without drama opens up itineraries that taller sportfish and pilothouse designs have to plan around.
Where the model sits today
The Silverton 43 doesn’t trade hands often, which makes it worth knowing what the recent record looks like before you book a viewing.

Smith closes the video with an open invitation: he’d like to show the boat in person, by appointment. For a buyer weighing a long-distance cruise — or simply a comfortable bridge boat for weekends — that walkthrough is the next logical step.
