Moody Moody Decksaloon 48
About this yacht
The Moody Decksaloon 48 represents a compelling evolution in bluewater cruising design, where British maritime heritage meets contemporary yacht architecture. Built by Moody since 2023, this 15.42-meter sailing yacht achieves what few monohulls can—the open, flowing layout typically associated with catamarans, combined with the superior sailing performance and sea-kindly motion of a single hull. What sets the Moody Decksaloon 48 apart is its revolutionary single-level living concept. The galley, saloon, and cockpit exist on one continuous plane, creating an extraordinary sense of space and connection with the sea. The signature 360-degree panoramic view from the deck saloon transforms every passage into an immersive experience, whether you're preparing meals, managing navigation, or simply relaxing below while maintaining complete awareness of your surroundings. This performance cruiser offers remarkable versatility through nine distinct layout configurations, accommodating up to ten guests across multiple cabin arrangements. The owner's suite provides a genuine retreat at sea, while guest accommodations feature private bathrooms with separate showers—a level of comfort rarely found in this size range. Each cabin benefits from abundant natural light and thoughtful storage solutions, including wardrobes and under-bed drawers that maximize the yacht's liveability for extended cruising. The forward dinette creates an exclusive sanctuary for quiet moments away from the cockpit's activity. With removable seating and table, this bow area transforms to suit your needs—whether that's morning coffee in solitude or sunset gatherings with guests. Practical considerations haven't been overlooked. The deck-accessible dinghy garage accommodates a 2.7-meter tender along with water sports equipment, complete with an integrated crane for effortless launching and retrieval. The dual helm stations offer flexibility: the elevated cockpit position provides commanding visibility and control in fair conditions, while the interior helm station allows you to maintain full command through autopilot and throttle systems when weather turns challenging. With a draft of 2.15 meters and CE Category A certification, the Moody Decksaloon 48 is engineered for offshore passages and open-ocean sailing. Her GRP hull construction balances strength with performance, making this sailboat equally capable as a coastal cruiser or a serious bluewater passage-maker. This is a yacht that refuses compromise—delivering the space and comfort modern sailors expect without sacrificing the sailing qualities that make extended voyages genuinely rewarding.
