Seaworthy, roadworthy
Seaworthy: (a boat) in fit condition and ready for a sea voyage (there are a couple of ideas in the dictionary already)
Roadworthy: (a motor vehicle) in fit condition and ready to be driven on the road. Both of these can be used in a figurative manner as well. What's the best way to express these two concepts in Spanish?

en condiciones (de/para navegar; de/para volar; de/para viajar); [en buenas condiciones]
not sure about "en buen estado..." because it'd look like it has seen better times, trained or recovered from the flu.

Sure, it also applies everywhere else, but you may not say "en buen estado" or "en buenas condiciones" (a general statement) to express "aprestado", "presto" or "en condiciones de/para" (fitting or adequate for specific duties)

Did some more research and found: (in addition to the options already suggested)
seaworthy = marinero, navegable, en condiciones de navegar roadworthy = en condiciones para circular, apto para circular airworthy = en condiciones de vuelo, aeronavegable

I agree with "listo para" and "en (buenas) condiciones de/para".
I usually don't see "en buen estado para".

As an alternate listo para, I believe bueno para is often used.
