Description
Hans Christian 48T “GOING HOME” – Exclusively Listed with DBY Boat Sales
If you have been searching for a true blue-water cruising yacht with pedigree, presence, and proven capability — this is it.
“GOING HOME” is a superb 2005 model example of the legendary Hans Christian Yachts 48T — one of the world’s most admired offshore cruising designs. These yachts are revered globally for their uncompromising build quality, timeless craftsmanship, and remarkable sea manners. With countless circumnavigations to their name, Hans Christians are built not just to cross oceans — but to do so in comfort, safety and style.
The 48T is arguably the most desirable of the range. Designed with the serious cruising couple in mind, she offers true live-aboard comfort without sacrificing performance. Her current owner speaks highly of her forgiving character continuing to sail comfortably when others are forced to turn back in heavy weather. The boat is currently set up for single handed sailing, even with a comfortable possibility to sleep outside during a passage.
Timeless Craftsmanship Below Deck
Step inside and you are welcomed by the warm glow of handcrafted solid teak — the hallmark of Hans Christian quality. The interior is rich, traditional, and immaculately presented.
- Luxurious aft master stateroom with island berth and private ensuite
- Forward double guest cabin with its own bathroom
- Spacious saloon with generous dining area and opposing lounge
- Abundant storage throughout for extended cruising
The galley is properly offshore-equipped with gas cooktop, grill and oven, front-opening fridge and freezer, double sinks with salt and freshwater taps, and extensive bench space. This is a galley designed for serious passage making.
Built for Offshore Capability
The dedicated navigation station is fitted with a comprehensive suite of Raymarine electronics, keeping you confidently on course wherever you roam.
Her 100hp Yanmar diesel is housed in an accessible engine room with excellent service access from multiple sides — exactly how a serious cruising yacht should be designed. Rack-and-pinion steering provides exceptional feel and control under sail.
Decks Like No Other
Hans Christian decks are iconic. Beautiful teak laid decks, solid teak capping rails, teak boom gallows, and beautifully finished deck storage create a yacht that turns heads in every anchorage.
Practicality meets beauty with:
- Large dorade vents for superb airflow
- Folding skylight for natural light and ventilation
- Halyard boxes and belaying pins to keep decks tidy
- Extensive protective covers
- Safe, wide side decks for secure movement at sea
She is solid, purposeful, and reassuring underfoot — exactly what you want when heading offshore.
“GOING HOME” represents an opportunity to acquire a genuine go-anywhere cruising yacht from one of the most respected names in blue-water sailing. These yachts are always in demand — and for good reason.
