Sealine SC35, LILLA

Broker’s Comments

Sports cruisers have a reputation for being all swagger and no sense. LILLA is the exception: a Sealine SC35 that looks the part on the pontoon, then turns out to be properly practical once you step aboard.

What sets her apart is how much worry has already been taken out of owning her. In late 2025 both engines were serviced and the cooling systems were overhauled. The coolers and other parts replaced are the ones that tend to cause expensive trouble on a boat of this age. Her stern drives were serviced in August 2025, and the engines have run fewer than 20 hours since their service. With around 578 hours on each engine she’s had a gentle life, and the paperwork is there to prove it.

The cockpit is where she earns her keep. It seats eight around a teak table that turns into a sunbed, so lunch can drift into a long afternoon snooze. A sliding roof lets the sun in when the Solent behaves, and a full canopy keeps everyone dry when it doesn’t. A cockpit galley with its own sink, grill and fridge means the cook never has to miss the conversation.

Step below and she feels light and warm rather than cramped, with pale wood and walnut trim. There’s a proper island double berth forward with direct access to the heads and a separate shower. The aft cabin and saloon settee bring her to five berths, enough for a family or two couples. Diesel warm air heating means the evenings don’t have to cut the season short, and it lets her work as a home away from home, or even an office on the days you need to escape the house.

She’s easy to live with underway, too. A bow thruster takes the drama out of berthing, and the electric windlass means two people can handle her without fuss.

If you want a quick-footed cruiser with a lot of the big bills already out of the way, LILLA deserves your attention.
