Remarks
CAY LOU is a very nice example of the 56’ Neptunus Motor Yacht line. Built in Canada she is comprised of all North American parts that are easy to service and readily available.Having more updates and updated equipment than many other boats of her age, she is ready to go!Her high gloss cherry interior presents very we. Three staterooms, two heads, a lower station and an open galley arrangement make her a favorite with the American market Fresh engine rebuilds (Fall 2026) by Smith & Wick Marine Diesel, Jupiter, FL.Just compounded and waxed from the rub rail up, shows great. See notes on recent upgrades… It’s turnkey and ready to cruise now! Impressive! NOTE:Note: Actual LOA is 58’
