The 2008 Sea Ray 55 Sundancer (55 DA) is a luxurious express cruiser that combines sleek styling, strong performance, and high-end amenities — a flagship-style yacht in Sea Ray’s lineup from that era. It's very much a powerful sport yacht with big-boat feel and comfort, designed for entertaining and long weekends on the water.

Here’s the full breakdown:

  General Overview

• Model: 2008 Sea Ray 55 Sundancer (DA = Dual Access / Docking Assistance, depending on who you ask — Sea Ray loves acronyms)
