46' Exploration Pilothouse 46

A commission of up to 5% is available to a third party (person, broker, etc.) who brings the buyer to us directly.

Super-strong vessel for cruising to remote locations or enjoy safety and comfort nearer to home. Built to sail easily through heavy weather and to be very comfortable upon arrival at any destination, whether it be an isolated anchorage or marina berth. Key attributes of the boat include (1) an extremely rugged no-maintenance aluminum hull, (2) a fabulous pilothouse with 360-degree views, (3) robust twin keels that enable routine beaching fully upright (drying out) for total independence in remote locations, (4) voluminous tankage for long-range operation and prolonged periods far off the grid, and (5) comforts of home, such as a convenient galley, shower room with ample hot water, automatic fresh-water toilet and cozy cabins, making for a delightful home away from home or long-term liveaboard.

This is a powerful vessel for sailors who know what is required to achieve maximum utility and safety while also being comfortable in real-world conditions. Now comfortably berthed near Honolulu in Hawaiis safest marina (with a transferrable slip), she is ready to continue cruising, whether toward Alaska and the Pacific Northwest, or southwestward to the tropics and beyond, or she can be a wonderful liveaboard home in Hawaii.
