Details
Renowned for their serious bluewater capability and refined cruising comfort, the Carbineer 46 pilothouse ketches are solid, well proven offshore yachts designed for sailors who place a premium on strength, safety, and sea keeping. Designed by the legendary Laurent Giles and built in Australia to a high standard, these classic heavy displacement yachts feature a full keel and a balanced, easily managed ketch rig, delivering excellent stability, a comfortable motion at sea, and versatility for short-handed passage making. The true pilothouse design, complete with twin helm stations, allows the skipper to choose between a conventional cockpit helm or a fully protected internal helm, providing safe and comfortable watch keeping in heavy weather or colder climates. With a well-protected cockpit, secure deck layout, and thoughtfully designed accommodation, the Carbineer 46 has earned an outstanding reputation as a capable offshore passagemaker, a comfortable extended cruiser, and a highly desirable liveaboard, qualities that ensure they remain consistently sought after by serious cruising sailors. "Traveller" is an excellent example of the design and has been superbly maintained and upgraded in recent year. Well set up for extended cruising it features A VETUS BOW THRUSTER, 6KVA ONAN GENSET, 240V INDUCTION COOK TOPS/CONVECTION OVEN/MICROWAVE, NEW 2023 BATTERIES, NEW 2024 B&G VULCAN 9" CHART PLOTTER, NEW 2024 VHF RADIO, NEW TOILETS, HEAVY DUTY DINGHY DAVITS, the list goes on. Having been freshly antifouled and engine serviced DEC 2025, this stunning vessel is ready for its next adventure! Whether you want to cruise local water ways with friends and family, set off on the adventure of a life time, or enjoy the liveaboard lifestyle, "Traveller" can do it all in style and comfort!
