Morris 51

Bound for Blue Water
In the universe of long-range cruising boat, the Morris 51 marks the apogee.
Jeremy McGeary, Cruising World Magazine

The exciting Ocean Series Morris 51 is a high-speed, offshore cruiser that successfully combines moderate draft, superb performance, and the ability to be easily handled by a couple.

Like all Morris yachts, the 51 is hand-built to the world's highest standards using high-tech materials and processes, with customization for each owner.

In both appearance and the number, the Morris 51 is every bit the boat of the moment.

The “open” style interior is enhanced by beautifully fitted and finished gloss varnished cherry with
white New England style bulkheads.

The forward owner’s cabin has a large double berth with a private en suite head and shower. The optional hard dodger provides protection from the elements yet allows complete access to sail controls and offers 360 degree views.
