Beyond lateral and spinning movement, Zeus also offers autopilot functions such as waypoint tracking and autoheading, and SkyHook, which maintains boat position and heading indefinitely with the touch of a button.

The enclosed bridge features two independently retractable sunroofs; custom Euro-style helm seat with flip-up, thigh-rise bolster, armrests, heavy-duty pedestal with slide, swivel and pneumatic vertical adjustment; a companion bench with molded fiberglass storage; and U-shaped aft seating with storage. The cockpit wet bar with trash receptacle and storage cabinet is standard.

The design incorporates a master stateroom with separate head and shower compartments, and a mid-stateroom (with its own head) that converts from twin beds to a queen.

An LCD drop-down flat-screen television with DVD in the salon is standard, with options for three additional flat-screen LCD HD entertainment systems.

Ten port holes brighten open areas below. The standard generator incorporates a sound shield. A large extended swim platform features a heavy-duty stainless-steel swim ladder. MSRP is $833,333. www.searay.com
