Clipper Explorer 46 - Classic Coastal Passage Maker


This beautiful Explorer 46 Pilothouse comes to the market, fully optioned and loaded with extras, she is in great condition and is being offered here, well below replacement costs!
The Explorer 46 has been engineered, not just for family boating, but for comfortable coastal cruising.
Along with that, the Clipper (now re-branded "Classic" ) DNA is well proven for reliability, strength, economy and user friendliness.
The Raised Pilothouse design gives outstanding vision from the lower helm and provides additional room below decks for good accommodation.
This fine example, boasts 3 cabins and 2 bathrooms, which is rare in a 46 foot, full keel, semi-displacement motor yacht.
In addition, she offers full walk-around side decks, a huge flybridge deck with easy access via an internal staircase and simple access to the bow through, a side door on each side of the pilothouse.
Combine all of that with powerful twin 480hp Cummins  diesels, driving traditional shafts and bronze propellers, powerful 24v Vetus Bow and Stern Thrusters, a Dockmate Twist remote docking control, ample 240v power from the 7kw Onan diesel generator and modern "touch screen" Raymarine electronics, adds up to a very impressive cruising package.
