HydraSports 5300 Sueños — Largest Production Center Console
HydraSports Custom has unveiled its largest production center console to date: the 5300 Sueños. Measuring 52 feet, 11 inches in length overall with a 13-foot beam, the 5300 is a substantial step up from the builder’s previous flagship and is designed to deliver long-range capability, offshore seakeeping and comfortable accommodations for extended trips.
Revealed at the Miami International Boat Show, the 5300 Sueños represents a growing trend in the center console market toward larger, more capable models. The new model surpasses HydraSports’ previous 4200 Siesta by 11 feet and challenges other high-water marks in the segment. HydraSports reports strong interest; the company has presold six boats and cites customer demand for a larger platform to move into from their 42-foot models.
The hull is a variable-deadrise, stepped deep-vee design with a 60-degree entry and substantial bow flare, engineered to handle large offshore swells and provide a drier ride in rough conditions. HydraSports worked with Applied Concepts Unleashed on hull development and consulted with Structural Composites to employ advanced construction techniques derived from Navy combatant craft fabrication. The resulting dry weight for the 5300 Sueños comes in at approximately 28,600 pounds.
Fuel capacity is generous for extended offshore work and cruising, with a 1,000-gallon tank that supports long-range runs. Power arrangements are flexible: buyers can choose four Yamaha V-8 F350 outboards, four Seven Marine V-8 557 outboards, or a five-engine setup using Mercury’s Verado 350 outboards. With the four Seven Marine 557s installed, HydraSports engineering projects a top speed near 70 mph and cruise speeds in the mid-range of 35 to 55 mph, providing both rapid transit and efficient cruising options.
On deck and below, the 5300 Sueños blends serious fishing features with comfortable accommodations. The layout includes a full cabin with an enclosed head and a two-person berth, making overnight stays practical. The main deck can be configured with a hardtop and optionally a tower and second helm station. A three-person helm seat sits at the center console with an identical seating arrangement aft, and a fishing center that includes bait and prep stations is located just abaft the console. Bow seating wraps around a raised dinette table that emerges from the foredeck, and a lounge extends from the forward side of the console, offering multiple social and relaxation spaces.
Optional systems allow owners to tailor the 5300 Sueños to their cruising or fishing needs, including a diesel generator set, air conditioning and a bow thruster for easier maneuvering. These options, together with premium power choices and construction methods, make the 5300 a fully equipped, high-end center console for customers seeking serious offshore performance and comfort.
