If you’ve been searching for a true Great Loop-ready motor yacht that combines condo-style comfort, proven cruising capability, and a long list of meaningful upgrades, Turn The Paige deserves your attention.
This 2003 Silverton 43 Motor Yacht, located in Fort Myers Beach at Snook Bight Marina, is a Great Loop veteran that has been thoughtfully upgraded and meticulously maintained by knowledgeable owners. Turn the Paige represents one of the most compelling values on the market today for a two-stateroom diesel motoryacht with this level of space and equipment.
Silverton built its reputation on maximizing interior volume—and the 43 Motor Yacht is arguably one of the best examples ever produced. Thanks to the innovative “SideWalk” deck design, this boat eliminates narrow side decks and instead provides safe, molded walkways from the flybridge to the foredeck. The result? A full-beam salon that feels more like a waterfront condo than a traditional boat, without sacrificing accessibility or safety.
Step aboard and you’ll immediately appreciate how well this vessel is set up for cruising and entertaining. The covered aft deck is spacious, comfortable, and functional—complete with a wet bar and enclosure—making it the perfect place to relax at anchor, host guests, or unwind after a day underway.
From here, molded steps lead up to the expansive flybridge. The helm is forward with excellent sightlines, while the guest seating area aft provides plenty of room for friends and family. The bridge layout is clean and practical, and most importantly, it has been significantly upgraded with modern electronics installed in September 2023, including:
This is a serious navigation package—well-suited for everything from inland rivers to coastal cruising and offshore hops.
Below, the salon is where Turn The Paige truly shines. The wide-body design, large wraparound windows, and high ceilings create an incredibly open and inviting living space. The interior has been further enhanced with waterproof vinyl plank flooring (December 2023), replacing carpet and making the space more modern, durable, and ideal for cruising life.
The salon offers generous seating with a large settee and dinette, creating multiple areas to relax, dine, or entertain. Just forward, the Corian-covered galley is well-equipped for extended stays onboard and now includes:
Whether you’re preparing a quick meal or hosting guests, this galley is built to support a liveaboard lifestyle.
Turn The Paige features a desirable two-stateroom, two-head layout, offering excellent privacy and comfort for owners and guests alike. Both staterooms feature queen-size berths with innerspring mattresses, abundant storage, and thoughtful design throughout.
The split head and shower arrangements—both forward and aft—are especially practical for extended cruising, allowing multiple people to use the facilities comfortably at the same time.
The master stateroom aft provides a quiet and spacious retreat, while the forward stateroom is ideal for guests or additional family members.
This vessel has also been upgraded to support true off-grid and long-range cruising capability. Notable improvements include:
These upgrades significantly enhance the boat’s ability to operate comfortably away from the dock—something today’s Loopers increasingly prioritize.
Mechanically, this boat is powered by the reliable Cummins 6CTA 8.3-M3 diesel engines, known for their durability and performance. More importantly, the maintenance history here is extensive and recent, giving buyers confidence moving forward.
Major service and upgrades include:
Comfort systems have also been addressed, including new aft cabin and aft deck air conditioning units (2025).
On deck, additional highlights include:
For Loopers, this is a standout opportunity. Why squeeze into a cramped trawler when you can enjoy the space, comfort, and livability of a motor yacht that has already proven itself on the Loop?
