The moment you step aboard Anteater Blues, the first reaction is always the same: "Wow... Is this really only 46 feet?"
Her expansive cockpit, high free board, generous beam and open interior layout give the impression of a 50-footer, offering significantly more space and comfort than most yachts in her class.
If you're dreaming of bluewater passages, coastal cruising, or living aboard in comfort and style, this amazing Hanse 461 delivers everything a discerning sailor could ask for, and more.
A true masterclass in German engineering blended with modern European design. Designed by Judel/Vrolijk & Co, one of the world's most respected naval architects, this yacht offers a sleek hull with high-performance sailing capabilities, and a spacious, intelligently laid-out interior.
Step below deck and you're greeted with a warm, contemporary interior, bathed in natural light. The large saloon and galley are perfect for entertaining or relaxing after your day on the water. High-quality finishes and teak joinery create a classic yet modern ambience.
Anteater Blues is not just a yacht built for adventure -- she has lived it! Over the last four years, she has been sailed single and double-handed on serious passages, including;
Fremantle to Port Macquarie (QLD), Two full Southern Ocean crossings, Multiple voyages from Fremantle to Shark Bay, Exmouth, and Dampier, These are not casual coastal hops -- they demonstrate reliability, strength, and a setup optimized for real offshore performance.
Before the current owner, AB had already crossed oceans, a testament to the build quality of the Hanse 461 and to the boat's strong blue-water DNA. She isn't just "ocean capable. " She is a proven ocean voyager with a track record to back it up.
Every system aboard AB has been thought through with safety, simplicity, and comfort in mind.
Her current configuration makes her exceptionally capable in all weather and sea states, allowing confident blue-water sailing whether solo, double-handed, or with crew. The deck layout, sail handling systems, and redundancy in key equipment show she was set up by someone who truly understands offshore cruising.
From the mechanical systems to the interior finishes, Anteater Blues reflects meticulous care and attention to detail. Nothing has been neglected. Regular maintenance, thoughtful upgrades (as listed below) and a proactive ownership approach make this yacht stand out clearly against others in her class.
