Broker Overview
This 1998 Sea Ray 630 Super Sun Sport, currently located in Algonac, Michigan, represents a significant opportunity for a buyer seeking a large express cruiser with proven power and a spacious layout. At 63 feet, this vessel offers substantial volume for its class, making it well-suited for extended cruising or entertaining. The twin Caterpillar 3412 diesel engines are a key selling point; these are robust, commercially rated powerplants known for their reliability and longevity, providing excellent performance for a boat of this size. While the listing indicates two heads, it specifies one master stateroom and a guest cabin, which is a practical configuration for private ownership. The Super Sun Sport lineage is known for its blend of performance and luxury, and this 630 is no exception, featuring a comfortable interior and an expansive cockpit. Buyers should understand that a vessel of this vintage and size will require diligent maintenance, and while the asking price of $249,900 reflects its age, it also presents a compelling value proposition for a 63-foot yacht with Caterpillar power. This is a lot of boat for the money, but a thorough survey will be critical to assess the condition of systems and structure.

Twin Caterpillar 3412 engines: powerful, reliable, and commercially rated.
Exceptional volume and spacious layout for a 63-foot express cruiser.
Strong value proposition for a large, well-powered yacht.

Expert Review
The Sea Ray 630 Super Sun Sport, particularly with the Caterpillar 3412 power, is a well-regarded express cruiser. Build quality for Sea Ray in this era was generally solid, offering a good balance of structural integrity and interior finish. The deep-vee hull design provides a comfortable ride in a chop, making it suitable for larger bodies of water like the Great Lakes or coastal cruising. While the asking price is attractive for a boat of this size and engine package, potential buyers must budget for a comprehensive pre-purchase survey. Pay close attention to the condition of the engine room, specifically checking for signs of deferred maintenance on the Caterpillars, generator, and associated systems. Electrical systems, air conditioning, and navigation electronics will also be key areas to inspect given the yacht's age. Comparable alternatives might include larger express cruisers from brands like Hatteras or Viking of a similar vintage, though often at a higher price point for similar power. This 630 offers significant utility and performance for its current market value.

Full Listing Description
Offered for sale in Algonac, Michigan, this 1998 Sea Ray 630 Super Sun Sport is an impressive blend of high-performance engineering and luxurious comfort. Powered by twin Caterpillar 3412 diesel engines, this express cruiser delivers exceptional speed, handling, and reliability — making it a true standout in its class. With its bold, sleek profile and spacious layout, the 630 Super Sun Sport was built for both entertaining and extended cruising. The expansive cockpit features generous seating, a wet bar, and a large sun pad — ideal for hosting guests or relaxing on the water. The hydraulic swim platform adds convenience for water access and tender storage. Step below deck and you’ll find a richly appointed interior with high-gloss wood cabinetry, plush seating, and elegant finishes throughout. The salon flows seamlessly into a fully equipped galley, making it easy to entertain indoors. The yacht includes a luxurious master stateroom with an en-suite head, as well as a guest cabin with its own private accommodations — offering both comfort and privacy. Additional features include a Westerbeke generator, air conditioning, navigation electronics, and thoughtful storage throughout. With her proven Caterpillar power, timeless Sea Ray styling, and spacious design, this yacht is ready to take you anywhere — whether you're cruising the Great Lakes or heading for warmer waters.
POWERBOAT GUIDE DESCRIPTION: (Please note that this boat is equipped with shaft drives and a deep-vee hull without prop pockets) The 630 Super Sun Sport and her sistership, the 630 Sundancer set American sport yacht standards in their day for size and luxury. While they look alike on the outside, the Sundancer uses Arneson surface drives to reduce draft and drag—an installation that results in a much higher top speed. Both are built on fully cored, deep-V hulls with moderate beam (the Sun Sport has prop pockets) and an integrated transom. Sharing similar floor-plans, the massive salon is dominated by sculptured overhead panels and a long contoured leather sofa. The master stateroom is all the way forward, and a day head is in the salon. Note the crew quarters in the Sun Sport hidden beneath the transom and accessed via the cockpit sun pad. Additional features include a reverse arch, two transom doors, circular lounge seating in the cockpit, and a well-arranged engine room with push-button access. An excellent performer with 1,075hp 12V92 diesels, the Sun Sport will cruise at 30 knots (32–33 knots top). The Sundancer model, available during 1995–99, can reach a top speed of nearly 45 knots with 1,300hp surface-drive Cats—super-impressive performance for a 63-foot yacht.
