1988 CHB 46 Motor Yacht

Step aboard and you’ll notice how easy this 46 is to move around on: wide side decks, solid rails and safe steps up to the bridge make line handling and docking far less stressful. The aft deck feels like an extra living room, perfect for morning coffee or evening sundowners, with enough space for proper chairs instead of flimsy folding seats. Inside, the classic CHB joinery, solid doors and real wood cabinetry give a warm, ship-like feel you don’t get in newer, lighter builds. Underway, sightlines from the helm are excellent, and the hull’s generous beam translates into reassuring stability and storage you can actually use on extended trips.

In these waters, conditions can change quickly, and the CHB 46’s semi-displacement hull and beefy construction shine when the chop comes up. The stabilizers help keep guests comfortable on longer crossings, while the twin diesels offer the range and redundancy you want when anchorages or fuel docks are spaced far apart. The roomy aft cabin and separate guest quarters make it ideal for weekend visitors or liveaboard life when you’re waiting out weather. With covered outdoor spaces and a secure, walkaround deck layout, this model handles everything from tight marina slips to exposed moorings with the calm, predictable manners of a true cruising motor yacht.
