Hillier Peterson 46

WHY WAIT? CRUISE THE CARIBBEAN OR PACIFIC NOW STARTING FROM PANAMA.

AUSTRALIAN OWNED AND REGISTERED PETERSON 46 CENTRE COCKPIT SLOOP BUILT UNDER AUSSIE SUPERVISION, is available now to set off on your Caribbean, US, or Pacific adventure.

Considered one of the great world-cruising yachts, this 1984 built version is a step onboard and go option with the optimal rear Master cabin layout, generous saloon and all the updated equipment you'll need to explore the world.

A centre cockpit design, this blue water cutter has a solid thick fiberglass hull, encapsulated long fin keel with skeg hung rudder and propeller in an aperture, which together, with a relatively low freeboard and moderate beam, provides a very safe, seaworthy yacht in heavy weather that will also perform well in light winds.

In this Hillier Peterson 46 version, construction was overseen by Ron Hillier of Australia. These yachts are recognised for their superior quality, redesigned interior, and attention to detail. Below she has the traditional warmth of a classic yacht and is a handcrafted example of a boat builders art in rich, solid Burmese teak. She was one of the last Peterson 46s ever built, launched in 1984.

She has been meticulously maintained by the current owners since purchasing her in 1997. After spending several years preparing her for a circumnavigation, they departed Sydney in 2003 and have been living aboard ever since exploring Asia, the Med and the Caribbean.
